DEVBLOG #55 - HUGE NEWS and Changes! - The Isle Evrima

[@The_Primitive]

I remember the devs showed us a while ago an animation of rex climbing a slope So yes, 24:01 we are getting slope climbing (probably), but i think its going to be exclusive to animals who can't jump

[@GooTheMighty]

I am super excited for Allo! Quetz is the one I’m most excited for, but Allo is a CLOSE second, and coming sooner.

[@Proxi_Ex]

Yep Quetz is gonna add a whole new level to the game like Deinosuchus did. Now you also gotta be mindful of what is above you.

[@Hunter_17825]

if you look straight at it, the first skin shown for trike looks like an Owl, looks really cook.

[@Anupamprime]

Kouga vs Metta one with Trike and other with rex let's gooo ❤

[@AdalineHeals]

I remember when i started playing game back in 2016, it’s improved a LOT but still isn’t complete sadly. Also when they removed Quetz from the game I made a promise to myself to never touch it until it was added back in LMAO still fun to watch these videos even though I don’t play the game!

[@unboundjackal]

I love seeing comments from people who like to complsin about the devs but absolutely have to damn clue about making a game at all, while i may not be a game dev i do have a friend in college rn and ive basically been through the entire project with him and its taken him months just to make a workable demo thats only 2-3 minutes long and that's with everything being bought assets.

[@unboundjackal]

I understand it's frustrating with how slow the dev time is which is why I take breaks that last a few months but considering just how much they put into every single dino it's not unsurprising that it'd take months for a dino

[@KougaArt]

@@unboundjackal complain is part of human nature at this point, the new era is all about "delivery speed", we don't even wait 15s for a website to load without thinking of closing it at least three times

[@unboundjackal]

@KougaArt unfortunately that's so true🤣, I used to think the way same way until I tried coding for myself and basically being there through my friend's entire journey through college so far these last 6 years and it definitely opened up my eyes

[@Dinozauria_JC]

IM FIRST!!! Video have 0 views for now lmao

[@johndasalty111]

Say what you want about the slowness, the bugs, the performance issues, but at least the devs are much more open with us now and at least they aren't charging money for these playables lol

[@sam-l5s]

rex and trike im hoping will be in the next horde test:) heres to hoping

[@j0sh918]

So does this mean we are getting all those dinos? :D

[@wiethen]

Eventually

[@mr.raptor6026]

emphasis on "EVENTUALLY" 😂

[@Spiderr8077]

in 5 years maybe

[@predatorkingfishing]

Eventually. Looking at the bright side, my son is 2 years old, and I have one more on the way. These Dino's will probably come out, when my kids are 19-20 years of age, and I will have more time to play the game, than now when they are just small..... :o

[@Eleganciaaaaaa]

Because this dev team is so horrifically slow and incompetent and they cannot take constructive criticism, we likely aren’t getting any of these new dinos anytime soon. And if we do, probably 2 or 1 at best because last year we only got dibble and Maia. *For the entirety of 2024, we only got two dinosaurs. TWO.*

[@Abstract_Seer]

If Austro doesn't come soon, i will crash out

[@kriggo1]

[@Eleganciaaaaaa]

Well it isn’t coming anytime soon with how this dev team is. Don’t get your hopes up.

[@kriggo1]

@ How is the dev team?

[@Eleganciaaaaaa]

@@kriggo1 seeing as KZbin deleted my previous comment, I recommend doing a little research on google and KZbin. You’ll find tons of videos documenting the things they’ve done and their behavior.

[@GooTheMighty]

I kinda want Rex to drop by itself for like a week, just so we can see what that would do the ecosystem. 😈

[@AlienxX-Xx]

@@GooTheMighty I'ma target all the cocky Stegos, Dibbles and Tenos

[@mr.raptor6026]

hoardtesting which will be probably soon i think they just need to do a handfull of things for rex and trike. my guess mid to end of feb.

[@V1_VNCT-]

When they add Rex then? This month?

[@KougaArt]

I think allo and austro will arrive sooner than rex tbh

[@V1_VNCT-]

Ye but u know what,hordetest It s for sure coming soon

[@KougaArt]

@@V1_VNCT- devs don't share any ETAs

[@christosjr]

To anyone defending the dev team, let's read some more devblogs. I could pick any dino, mechanic or anything that the devs have teased us with, it'll be roughly the same result. June 2023 - Tyrannosaurus enters production July 2023 - Tyrannosaurus needs a rig August 2023 - Tyrannosaurus rigged up September 2023 - Mention of Tyrannosaurus, no progress October 2023 - "marathon of T.rex animations, full locomotion suite done, all 114 animations just for walking, trotting, running and all the wounded variations for them across all the life stages the Rex goes though" "The tyrannosaurus and triceratops are slowly lumbering their way into the spotlight and doing so in imposing fashion." No animation previews, still image of Rex. November 2023 - Mention of Tyrannosaurus, no progress December 2023 - Tyrannosaurus crush ability WIP January 2024 - Holiday February 2024 - "I worked on this month: Overall progress on some new dinosaurs like Triceratops and T-Rex." (what does that even mean) March 2024 - "The rex, trike and maia are also coming along nicely." "Continued working on Rex Crush ability" previews of Maia and Trike anims, nothing from Rex April 2024 - "The tyrannosaurus and triceratops are still waiting on sparring finalization, which shouldn’t be too far off." Also Rex calls being worked on. May 2024 - "There has also been lots of progress on the Tyrannosaurus, especially the crush ability and all the possible situations it can trigger. Hopefully that will be finished soon so I can move to the next mechanics designed for it." June 2024 - "This month I focused on refining the Rex’s crush ability and the new throw it has, which is linked to crush but not exclusive to it." "Once we’re done with the tyrannosaurus and triceratops sparring, the animation team will really break into our stride. We’ve already been cooking up some stuff I think you’ll enjoy. Buuuuut I can’t share yet." More Rex sound work. July 2024 - Returned to woking on Rex calls. "The tyrannosaurus has been getting some of its sparring related animations at last as well as polish to its special abilities." August 2024 - "I’ve been working on more refinement to its calls, still more adjustments to make to get these really hitting right but they are moving in the right direction." Also we got our first Rex anim previews, a total of 4. September 2024 - More sound work. "Lastly, tyrannosaurus has been featured heavily in my current workload while getting its more advanced locomotion animations completed as we continue to polish the sparring and life stages." Also 2 Rex anim previews. October 2024 - Rex subadult anims being worked on. Also footage of in game Rex. November 2024 - "Creature side there’s Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Maiasaura, Allosaurus, Austroraptor and soon Kentrosaurus all being worked on in some capacity across varying departments." December 2024 - "We also made notable progress on the Tyrannosaurus, mostly visual fixes and enhancements." January 2025 - Holiday February 2025 - "The rex, trike, allo, austro and kentro are all looking pretty good and patiently awaiting their individual debuts." "The rex and trike need a handful of animations related to sparring before they will be fully ready for testing, the allosaurus needs some setting up and mechanic refinement while the austro and kentro await setup." If you actually pay attention to the devblogs, it's laughable, a lot of it doesn't add up. But they know people get excited when they see their favorite dino's name written in the devblog. Elders were first mentioned in September 2023. Chances are, we will not see the majority of the dinosaurs mentioned in the devblog. None of the cool concept arts that they like to show off. And I guess that's fine, but I just hate people defending them so much "Bro you dont know how to develop games" and all that. They've already made millions, they know it's not worth the effort anymore, they just want to drag it out for as long as possible with very little work. And given that the game is somewhat niche, even if they pump out updates like crazy they wouldn't see a massive influx of new players. I still enjoy the game at times, it's nice to hop on for a few hours. But I kinda feel sorry for people in the comments that are actually excited about something like the Quetz. And yeah sad because this game could've been so much more with a slightly different dev team.

[@Bleghspread]

You are saying that you can pick any dino and the result will be roughly the same but in the span of the years you have pointed out as template, we actually got lots of different updates, 8 playables and a map. My guess is that you are trying to say their development process is slow while it could be faster. YES. This is something we all operate with. If you still enjoy the game from time to time then it is not an absolute garbage, right?

[@christosjr]

@@Bleghspread I never said it's garbage, it's just basically dead. They can take their time making a Rex for 2 years if they want to, but don't rub it under our nose every single devblog. They always promise so much, but can't deliver most of it. Literally just come out and say: hey, we've promised that you'd be getting these playables "soon", but that's actually not the case, we are taking development slow for x and y reason.

[@hpjive]

@@christosjr The thing is? a lot of other stuff clearly took priority over rex and trike throughout the years :/ And also gotta remember that they didn't just manifest the version of sparing we have rn. It likely took some trial and error to get the version we got, which is likely why rex and trike were pushed back soo much due to that one mechanic. And then you have to take into account all the scrapped animations and mechanics those playables likely had, sense there could be a lot that likely did go wrong and js didn't workout.

[@Z123RE]

Are you sped?

[@Deimos_Day]

I can't imagine the justification this team has for focusing on things like dock assets and human structures at current development. What an absolute joke of a Dev team. Genuinely the worst to have ever existed.

[@Cognitive_Fun]

Why are you assuming these things being done are halting or impacting development in any way? Seems like one specific team would work on that, which has nothing to do with playables or programming.

[@Deimos_Day]

@Cognitive_Fun Why are you assuming I'm assuming? They are open about this stuff. They have a small dev team, not entire teams for each thing, and having people focus on assets and changes that are nowhere near ready for implementation instead of focusing on the actual development of the current version of the game. I.E mechanics working properly, animation bugs, and the countless upon countless bugs that haven't been touched in years. Instead of having the designer or designers that are working on docks and human structures focusing on that, why are they not modeling and designing actual dinosaurs, or fixing the problems currently? It's actually really simple to plan the development of a game. But you're right, I must be assuming humans won't be added soon, and I must be assuming that the small dev team that struggles to push out a few dinosaurs a year are ready for this stuff in the game. Right? Evrima has been out for 8 years. So you're right, it's totally reasonable to shift focus to the docks, since most of the other stuff is in place. Totally stupid to hire people for the actual dinosaurs and coding, rather than the guys currently working on human structures. Since humans are ready and we're just waiting on them to finish docks. What a joke of a comment.

[@Cognitive_Fun]

@ Are you dumb? The person who makes structures isn’t the same one who designs dinosaurs or fixes bugs. Why is somebody who’s job it is to design human structures not fixing “the problems currently”?? Go play path

Also, the night vision is broken because for some reason during sunset/sunrises it is pitch black, and during full night time it is super bright. Also the night vision button can be abused to see through foliage during the day
