hi ! This is the update thread for a game I’m working on, Prehistoria! It’s going to be a colorful dinosaur survival game where players can level up their characters, survive and complete quests to unlock more character customization options (colors & parts). The main emphasis is going to be on customization, with levelling and perhaps levelling up skills to come later.
What I have done so far is available for open testing here! However please note that this is for testing new features as I implement them so there are bound to be bugs!
Currently complete features:
4 playable creatures: Allosaurus, Utahraptor, Parasaurolophus and Styracosaurus
Character customization by coloring regions with different color palettes per creature
Basic survival (food, water, stamina). Players press E to eat/drink a nearby resource
Diverse herbivore diets
Basic click-to-hit combat
A few plant models
The basic goals for the game are:
Compatibility for mobile
Unlockable color palettes for character customization using an earnable in-game currency
Species info when selecting species, and detailed in game tutorials
Small but detailed forest map with a day/night system
Character/data saving
In the long run, I’d like to have more features such as weather, part customization, a comfort system, unique dinosaur abilities in combat, etc. I’m setting up a lot of things for future features even if they aren’t in yet, like the ability to easily give different dinos different scripts so they have unique abilities.
I’m currently almost done with the Para and then when I complete the Allosaurus I’ll make a very early beta death-match version public, before working on the other game features
The para animations are all done!
Next is the Allosaurus, designed by my friend!
After the Allo and bugfixes are done, the game will be public as an arena deathmatch while I work on building the map and additional fixes
After this, I’ll be fixing bugs/cleaning up some features and then making a very early alpha version of the game public as a small death match while I work on the rest of the game
