Aww we all understand it's hard working on this project, and I will love to see what you put out there next I can't wait for the new foliage and the new t Rex I hope all is well and don't let ppl in the community bring you down, you are human after all...that being said I wish you best of luck and I will always support you no matter how long the game takes thx for the calm, relaxing, and realistic gameplay I hope best of luck to the devs .

I still get pissed thinking about that guy on the team who stole their money. Who the ♥♥♥♥ does that. An incredible project completely kneecapped by an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. If I'm totally honest, I'm choosing to reduce my hope for Saurian.

With the limited time the devs have to work on it out of basically charity, even if they were to "finish" the game there will likely be other games that do what Saurian does pop up in the next few years and overtake Saurian's development speed. It reminds me of the early success and gradual redundancy of another game called Rodina. It was an incredible project at the time but as technology improved an bigger more experienced studios started trying the same concepts and features it was overshadowed.

The Saurian team already has so much to be proud of though and I don't think we'll ever be graced with the premise of a scientifically accurate dinosaur sim for maybe decades to come. Art is never finished, only abandoned. My bittersweet takeaway from experiencing all this from the consumer's perspective is that I am much more excited and hopeful for what new projects this team could apply all their lessons and experiences to rather than crossing my fingers that Saurian fully releases in the next 10 years.

As much as it would pain the fans and the dev team to put a pause on Saurian, realistically speaking, I feel like the dev team's time would be better spent elsewhere until Saurian can once again embody a viable successful endeavour instead of keeping it on life support out of a sense of obligation and sunk-cost fallacy . It doesn't have to be thought of as a failure but instead a rich and valuable lesson. Where ever this goes, I'm glad to have been able to experience the story of Saurian

Ya'll take your time. We will be here.

why would the development stop? all that this devlog is saying if FOR THE BETTER of development, they just say it consumed time from the team that could be used only for the development, we are not getting any development change everything will work like it did before this devlog we will just have fewer devlogs with more content...plus they clearly WANT to keep going if they didn't they would have stopped long time ago when they faced the sad difficulty of the funding stealing and saurian is still different from the other upcoming games because it tries to reconstruct realistically an accurate ecosystem

now you can do whatever you wish, im just saying that the only difference is that we will get less devlogs but they will have more content and the development not only will stay the same but it might slightly improve given that they wont waste as much time writing the devlogs

i say try marketing the game again when the t rex is finally played that way a new wave of customers and volunteers could appear to tried finish the game

i bet this gonna work cuz there is a small group that like survival dinosaur games but of what i have seen they dont fun because every dino is a human and humans are unpredictable plus no matter how many rules you put people will not act like animals so i think this game Saurian to be a game where people can actually enjoy a bit more realistic survival where dinos are in packs, migrate, survive other dinos, floods and storms plus you dont have to wait for someone to leave a server that is at full capacity (i swear that the mods when they try to enter the server they will kick people out so they can come in like wtf XDD)

another way to help the game might be what wolfquest did i think they where in some kind of association with a reserve or multiple reserves not sure if that is possible for Saurian

Sad to see that you have no full-time devs any more, but It's impressive that you are still working on it,

Remember, you are human and you can't work yourselves to death, you did so much already and it's okay to slow down.

I've been following the progress on this game for a few years now since it was first being murmured about, I absolutely see the hard work and dedication the team has put into this game and the amount you have done is amazing! I hope you are all doing well and that you do not overwork or stress yourselves out. Wishing the team the best! you guys are fantastic.

Every once in awhile I come back to play again and it brings me to a time of peace, a weird nostalgia for me. I'll always have a deep appreciation for this game no matter what and where it may currently be.

I wish people could actually understand the position that you guys are in and wish I had the resources to provide you in your advancement. I see a something good after the smoke clears for you guys if you take the right steps and I believe that the development in the T-rex will do very good for you, I hope you can decipher good and bad criticism so that the community you guys grow aids in your growth as well in a team and game development as well. Thank you for your love for the game you started and the sacrifice you all make to for all of us.

the game still runs like absolute trash, might be worth doing some optimization because having low fps on a 13th gen cpu and a 3070 with settings only on high should not be a thing.... uninstalled yet again.

it's very cool to see a game develop.. so keep up the great work!

Yeah! Keep it up! The internet is absolutely full of haters who can do a 180 as soon as things start going their direction again, a scientifically accurate dinosaur sim is precious!
