My ideas for this game's future V2 #ContinueDinosaurFossilHunter

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: I made a Discord server where we can discuss and create ideas for this game. I'll be transferring my ideas from this guide onto that server. This means that I will likely not be updating this guide anymore and will instead be creating my new ideas on the Discord server. Come join! https://discord.gg/kQXzfgV8
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello! I'm Megatron, and many months ago, i made a "guide" for this game called "my fun speculations and ideas for the future maps of this game." I looked at the guide and noticed it had many scientific inaccuracies. i know a lot more about paleontology than i did at that time, and since i really want the devs to continue working on this game, i decided to remake it into a completely new "guide" with different map ideas and some new animals. also, i have created a "movement" if you want to call it: #ContinueDinosaurFossilHunter. spread this to discussions and guides so that the devs can see that we want them to add new content to this game. I will be working on this guide from time to time by adding new ideas i came up with and so on. share any of your ideas in the comments below!

-----Map Ideas (Skeletons)-----

The sections below this section will show my ideas of future maps, the species you can find on these maps, and how many skeletons can be found on each map. I recommend reading these sections before reading any of the other sections in this "guide."

-----Map Ideas (Current Maps)-----

The sections below this section will show my ideas of possible new species that could be added to the 3 maps currently ingame, which are Quarry, Dinosaur Canyon, and Grizzlies East Mountains.

Quarry (Late Cretaceous Alberta)

Quarry is the first map you play on in the game. It's located in Alberta and has fossils dating back to the Late Cretaceous. The map already has 5 skeletons, but these new additions would increase the number of skeletons on the map to 8 skeletons. Below is the list of new species and images of the species.

1. Euoplocephalus tutus (1 skeleton of this species could be found)
2. Saurornitholestes langstoni (2 skeletons of this species could be found)

Euoplocephalus tutus:
Saurornitholestes langstoni:

Dinosaur Canyon (Early and Late Cretaceous Montana)

Dinosaur Canyon is the second map you play on in the game. It's located in Montana and has fossils dating back to the Early and Late Cretaceous. The map already has 10 skeletons, but these new additions would increase the number of skeletons on the map to 17 skeletons. Below is the list of new species and images of the species.

1. Maiasaura peeblesorum (2 skeletons of this species could be found)
2. Tenontosaurus tilletti (2 skeletons of this species could be found)
3. Deinonychus antirrhopus (3 skeletons of this species could be found)

Maiasaura peeblesorum:
Tenontosaurus tilletti:
Deinonychus antirrhopus:

Grizzlies East Mountains (Late Cretaceous Alberta)

Grizzlies East Mountains is the third map you play on in the game. It's located in Alberta and has fossils dating back to the Late Cretaceous. While it's depicted as being in Nevada in the game's map, the species that you can find on the map and the map's overall environment are like that of Alberta, which is why I have it listed as a Late Cretaceous Alberta map instead of Late Cretaceous Nevada. The map already has 13 skeletons, but these new additions would increase the number of skeletons on the map to 25 skeletons. Below is the list of new species and images of the species.

1. Chasmosaurus belli (3 skeletons of this species could be found)
2. Centrosaurus apertus (3 skeletons of this species could be found)
3. Lambeosaurus lambei (2 skeletons of this species could be found)
4. Stenonychosaurus inequalis (4 skeletons of this species could be found)

----Other Ideas----

The following sections below this section will show some of my other ideas for the game.

Window Displays

Window displays are small skeleton displays that sit right beside windows of museums. Some museums in real life have these displays to let visitors entering the museum know what they'll be seeing when they walk in. It would be nice to see these displays be implemented into the game, as it would not only create more space for skeletons and other fossils, but also create an interesting visual for players. In terms of what kind of skeletons can go on these displays, only skeletons of animals under 1,000 kg, or 2204 lbs, in weight can be displayed on these window displays. I made a photobash, combining a real life American Lion (Panthera atrox) skeleton, which you probably have seen in several earlier entries of the guide, a screenshot of a window in the game, and a custom display I made in the app Procreate. If this feature is ever implemented, it most likely won't look like this. This is to rather give the developers ideas for how window displays could look.

Individual Variation

Individual variation would make for an amazing feature/detail in the game. In one of the earliest trailers for Dinosaur Fossil Hunter dating back to June of 2019 (Which you can watch here. Timestamp for what the variation is 0:22: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORJrM_aCsFo) there's a clip that shows a display with several Allosaurus skeletons, with the most noticeable detail actually being some size variation amongst the Allosaurus skeletons, implying it may have originally been planned for the game. So, I'll be explaining my ideas of how individual variation could work in this game.

The game could feature individual variation in many ways. One way would be size variations like how I mentioned above. For example, you could have two adult Allosaurus skeletons, with one being much larger than the other. Another way variation could work in this game is physical variation, which would include differences in skull shape and horn/tusk/spike/crest/other display feature shape, length, and size. Another way variation could work is variation due to ontogeny, which ontogeny is the process of how an animal ages/grows up. This variation would basically introduce individuals of different ages (like you could have a digsite that has 3 Tyrannosaurus skeletons, and one would be an adult, another a teen, and then the third one an extremely young juvenile). The last way variation variation could be added is through dimorphism, or morphological/physical differences based on the gender of an animal. I have images below of everything I'm talking about. The reason individual variation should be introduced to the game is because it would make each skeleton you find feel special and unique instead of looking the exact same, which is something the skeletons in the game suffer from currently

The Allosaurus image from the trailer, as well as some old screenshots from the game's store page featuring it:

Another old screenshot of an Allosaurus, which I presume is much larger than the Allosaurus individuals on that display from the old trailer, which would add onto the old individual variation plans:

I sure hope the developers see this list. They'll have their work totally cut out for them, especially with potential statues to paint, and I'd probably need a more powerful computer (probably a desktop) for it too, but I'd be all for it.

[FireWolf]

Thanks, i only just got this game, but i'm SO invested already XD. all these ideas sound amazing, i hope the developer does add these eventually

[Megatron]

yeah https://discord.gg/UjpY53Vq

[FireWolf]

the discord invite doesn't work anymore, can you give a new one?

[ScrubLord9000]

The discord invite is dead

[Megatron]

it's been a while since i've added a new map idea to this "guide," but I'll add some more ideas soon!

[Megatron]

the argentina map is based off of a specific geological formation. the formation shown is the Candeleros Formation, which is a formation that Carnotaurus didn't live in, thus why it's not in Late Cretaceous Argentina. i plan on making more Late Cretaceous Argentina map ideas though, and one of them will have Carnotaurus

[Megatron]

agreed

[ScrubLord9000]

This game is already shaping up to be one of the best paleontology games to exist. But it needs more content like this to keep that momentum going.

[Occam's Racer]

you need Triassic Arizona on the list
