The Lost World could be a nice title since the book is in public domain so they can't sue you for that plus a nice nod to the second movie.

If I recall, Isn't it specifically called "Lost World of Jurassic Part"?

[@TheMightyN]

Which developers? Electronic Arts made Warpath and The Lost World, BlueTongue created JPOG, Frontier Developments produced two games with decent graphics. And Sega mass-produced several of their own Jurassic Park titles. Plus, most team developers from certain companies likely would crush @Krenautican in both animation and graphical prowess.

[@byzecarnage1555]

Big L for universal being blind about this. This looks absolutely stunning and reflects how much dedication passion and hard work it actually took. Great work and I hope this comes into light for a larger audience and hopefully universal too.

[@GodMajik]

Literally nothing they make could compare to this, they wanna treat dinos like big dogs that can be tamed when they should be killing machines firstly

[@Dinoman1315]

​@GodMajik Yeah because it's fiction

[@cretaceouscontainment4472]

To call this art would be an understatement. You have surpassed perfection!❤

[@Krenautican]

Wow, thank you!

[@yesteryears]

i saw a comment suggesting the name “The Lost World”, and I think its probably the best name. it keeps the jurassic park feel, being a nod to the second book and movie, while also being legal to use as the original book is in public domain. if i was part of the team, i would totally go with The Lost World!

[@Starlight-fu7kv]

If it’s not too much trouble you should add a feature where if you lose the trex or hold still before it attacks, it would go into some sort of curiosity mode where it would sniff the car/you, nudge the vehicle, lower its head to have its eyes meet yours, etc. and if you successfully hide from it it’ll walk away. Kinda would add to that classic Jurassic Park horror feel

[@Krenautican]

That’s actually already in the game! If you’re far enough away and the T. Rex spots you there’s a chance it’ll get confused. It looks around for a few seconds and roars to try to get the player to move but if you stay still it’ll eventually lose interest and walk away.

@@Krenautican Would be cool to be able to switch on and off lights of the car. Maybe with the lights on, T-rex could be curious or even still on your trail. Keep a great work and cheers from Warhorse Studios. :)

[@davidaugustofc2574]

That would be good for vr, else you can just let go of the controller

[@superbromon098]

can make it have a random chance of just killing you anyways

[@Krenautican]

@ I really like that idea! Right now the headlights only make it easier for the T. Rex to spot you from a distance but I'll definitely consider adding your idea.

[@EvolutionSquare]

The dedication to detail is mindboggling. I'm honestly not sure if we "deserve" it/you, but we sure are grateful

[@Krenautican]

Thanks Evo! That really means a lot coming from you!

[@Krenautican]

It didn't get removed it's just not released yet. It's still in beta so only a few select people can access it for playtesting. There isn't a release date yet but I'm working as fast as I can to get it out.

I can not believe that somehow, not only did you do a better job than I think Universal ever could, but they also see this work and wish to take it down because it's not under their name. What a shame, but the work put into this is astounding. Keep up the great work!

[@LeeH1989]

The amount of work and attention to detail that must of went into the whole thing is insane, I can't wait to try this out. Keep it up!

We just got an announcement of a Jurassic Park survival horror game! GREAT time to be a fan!

[@freelands8355]

So it looks like they made a game called Jurassic Park Survivor.

[@Starlight-fu7kv]

Something I love that other dino horror survivor games don’t do that you do is add AI, it doesn’t feel as immersive if the dinosaurs move weirdly and only runs at you nothing else, having adding realistic movement and actions makes it much better like how you’re doing!

[@Aplek_Clipes]

This project is unbelievable!!! So much effort, dedication, and time put into this game. You guys are capable of so much! Universal doesn't know what they're missing by not hiring you. I'm definitely going to make fanarts and fan animations of the game. I really love the Jurassic Park fanbase, and I can't describe the hype I have for this game.

[@PyroBlonde7777]

He's making the game we've all wanted from the start. A horror game set in Jurassic Park! Hopefully, he adds the Raptors. I think if he makes them work like the Xenomorph in Alien Isolation it could be really fun! Have the player hide in lockers or under desks until the pack moves on.

[@billycurrythe2nd]

Not going to lie, I thought about your channel when I saw the Jurassic Park Survival trailer at the game awards. Interested to get your thoughts!

[@ModernMan23]

WOW, you are truly special and talented. I really like how you leaned into horror feelings and darker undertones. Sort of the Christopher Nolan version of JP. This is the way. Your attention to detail is admirable, as someone who has deep appreciation of these things! So stoked to play your creation

[@ForsakenSanityGaming]

Love your dedication! Honestly they should just let you use the IP as long as it's not commercially used, it's basically just free marketing for their entire franchise!

[@AdamDAnderson_Music]

This looks incredible! I think I should start of say I have no game dev experience and have no idea how difficult this might be to implement, I am just say what I think might be cool/interesting. And I have only really just discovered this game your developing, so for all that I could know you have already got this. One thing I noticed about the T-Rex was it just wanders about, now the ambush mechanic is really cool and make it feel more alive, but an idea I think would be interesting is to have the T-Rex inspect and sniff its surroundings. For example, what if you just broke line of sight of the T-Rex and are now sitting still to not get detected, instead of the T-Rex just walking by, it could sniff around, maybe inspecting the car. Maybe not every time but just often enough to keep the player on their toes. And it can just be a visual thing so it’s not to challenging for the player to get past. I would like to say how cool it is to see a JP game that looks more horror focused and not a park builder, fantastic work you are doing!

[@Krenautican]

That’s actually kind of already in the game! If the T. Rex spots you from far away there’s a chance it can get confused while it’s making it’s way towards you. It looks around and try’s to get the player to move by roaring but if you’re smart enough and remain still the T. Rex will eventually lose interest.

[@alexbain87]

I’m interested to see just how in the world this would ever be released. The amount of time and effort put into this is mind bending. I truly hope your hard work is able to be shared with the world. This looks amazing.

[@chadnuts]

This is beyond words. I'm a huge Jurassic Park fan. I created the Jurassic Park map on Far Cry 5 for PS4. I can definitely appreciate the details in your world building efforts.

[@Paleonyx]

This looks beyond incredible. I'm astounded that universal aren't giving us something like this themselves Also, as far as new names go, Maybe just Jurassic Operations? To keep more or less the same name without the JP branding

Anyone who is a fan of the Jurassic park/World franchise, leave the link here, we need more games like this made by fans, or who knows officially, right? 🦕🦖 Like for example that Jurassic park Survival from ps2 by Konami, which was canceled, Which was supposed to be released in 2001, I still haven't gotten over the cancellation of Jurassic Park Survival. It would have been better than operations genesis.

[@coulsonintahiti]

A great name for it, if it's still an island with a dinosaur theme park, could be Saurian Shores. Though to quote another comment, The Lost World would be a good public-domain name.

[@skycloud4802]

I like that sense of scale and interaction. The judder when a t-rex stomps on the ground is a level of detail I rarely see in other Jurassic Park games.

[@echo1eyesonly13]

The amount of respect I have for you and the time and energy you're put into your creation can't be expressed in words alone, but as part of the Dreams community let me say thank you for everything you're doing to give us an absolutely amazing experience for free in Dreams. My hope for you is Universal will experience this for themselves, see that is true to to the JP franchise and in no way damages it, and allow the brand back in it. We understand and always have this is a fan game, not an official game from Universal. Although, it should be. This game is clearly worthy to be an official game. In my opinion, perhaps one of the best, if not the best JP interactive gaming experiences a fan can have. Universal should see, fans like you are the reason this franchise has kept going strong since it's debut in 1993.
