This game is dead

[manintan2019]

I am considering this game dead. No major updates, devs only post minor, insignificant improvements every other month or so. No Trike being released in the near future. After YEARS of patiently waiting , we are no closer to anything new than at the beginning of 2019.

If any devs read this, give us SOME idea of ANYTHING important being released this year. Give us some hope.

this year. no thank you how about in the next 3 months.

Just be patient

"just be patient" only works for so long, before people realize the devs put this game on the side to work on other stuff.

They've openly stated Saurian is a side project now. After taking everyone's kickstarter money.

Oh look, a game with a dev team that actually continues to work on their game. What's even funnier is Isle's recode alone is 10x more content Saurian's devs have made since the game released onto Early Access. And their about the same size team?

Recode has been in the works since at least last year or so and the Isle has a lot more content (more playables, multiplayer, and such), so you can't really compare the two. We're almost 3 years in on release now and still only have the Dakotaraptor. At this rate, the game will be done in another 10 years or more.The game *is* essentially dead at this point in time and has been stagnant for quite some time before that.

Um no... quests would ruin the gameplay. It is meant to be a survival game. Your goal is to grow up, survive and have kids. The 'have kids' part is not implemented yet for the Dakotaraptor. We will never ever have quests.

The problem is that since only the raptor was implemented as playable... the gameplay grew very.... boring. We did everything you can as the raptor. We would need a little more to keep us entertained and tell our friends to buy it.
I guess the team meant to implement multiplayer to entertain the players while they flesh out the social system of the trike even more. (since they confirmed that the trike will not have all its features implemented yet upon release).

However, what we can see in the devlogs is that they are going forward in baby steps. One breakthrough kinda seems to excuse two devlogs full of plant reskins for some reason. We want to see a little more progress than that.

And that Saurian became a side-project is inexcusable and horrifying to hear. Who even in their right mind would employ this team after seeing their progress in such a major project as Saurian???? Their new big project will become unfinished and a side-project to yet another project, I am sure.

Pffft... side-project. Finish the playables, the AI and then make it your side-project...

Then go play the isle if it's so much better.

Personally, i'm fine waiting for long ass development if that means i finally have a chance to play a dinosaur game that isn't, scaly raptors, obligatory human involvment andoverly exaggerated mutant dinosasurs for once.. The gameplay as it is something i do enjoy, and even in it's state. I am fully confident in saying that Saurian is my favorite dinosaur game available.

I understand where people are coming from. But until the devs straight up turn into the mesozoica team. I'll stay committed.

[Bizkit]

@TheAnzuGod dude stop defending these lazy ass developers...
For over two years of development and money going in their pockets and we still have to play as dakotachicken ?
Gimme a break!

[TheAnzuGod]

No i don't think i will.

Although I dont agree with calling the devs names but one cannot deny they lacked any real progress in a very long time.

In February 2019 they admitted that the criticism about their slow progress was valid and they began to work on the playable Triceratops immediately. That is almost one year ago and the trike is not yet playable. Hell, they didnt even implement its ontogeny and life stages into the game for us to at least see them and hunt them.

They said they will focus all their time and resources into getting the playable trike to the players, and will only work on vegetation when the time allows it. Apparently, according to all the vegetation reskins and models in the devlogs, there was a ton of time on the side to develop them. Why not use that time and resources to actual meaningful development?

Now, dont get me wrong... I appreciate the work they are doing and I know they are working on it at the moment. I know they did not abandon it, and I know the other playables will come. BUT I criticize the delay and lack of progress once again.

Which IS valid.

Again.

[TheAnzuGod]

I agree, slow development is a valid critique.

But the game isn't dead, and the devs aren't scammers like some people say.
