PC Prehistoric Kingdom

The customization that comes with building and terraforming is paramount to us as a team. Apart from offering a building system that's up to the standards set by previous tycoon games, we also strive to include curved placement modes, modular building (for some structures only), and highly customizable decorative items such as rocks, logs, and more! Terrain painting will be an additional gameplay feature to help make exhibits feel alive and natural.

We recognise and value the creativity of communities and the longevity they can bring to a game's life cycle. Because of this, Prehistoric Kingdom will offer multiple ways to share your ideas with the world:

• Modding:
  Unofficial mod support is already here! The community has taken it upon itself to implement new objects and features to our pre-alpha demo such as fountains and playable dinosaurs. Once the core game of Prehistoric Kingdom has been developed, we may look into official modding utilities and API's for the community down the road.
  
• Map Editor:
  Create custom maps to be played and shared with the map creator. Use our climates and your skill to paint, sculpt, and design a landscape to your liking. The opportunities are endless!
  
• Exhibit Designer:
  Design exhibits and paddocks in the dedicated exhibit builder to save and export them directly to the Steam Workshop! Make use of the existing park assets and import your own to maximize your creativity and add a personal touch to your zoo.
  
• Steam Workshop:
  The Steam Workshop will allow players to easily share their save games and custom exhibits directly to the cloud for everyone to access.

Keep your park up and running by creating a working resource layout, hiring staff and seeing to their housing needs, providing a suitable habitat for your animals, and holding guest happiness to a high degree by building attractions, amenities, as well as placing effective security measures.

Help increase the popularity of your zoo by running various advertisements and catering to the needs of your guests by listening to guest feedback and ensuring your facilities are in tip-top condition.

Three main game modes are planned for the fully released title, each offering a different and exciting experience!

• Campaign:
  Engage in your standard game of tycoon management, featuring progressive and challenging gameplay! Players will experience an in-depth research mechanic, unlock prehistoric life through fossil hunting, and threatening weather that could potentially put you and your zoo on the brink of bankruptcy.

• Scenario:
  Select a mission out of a diverse range of premade scenarios - from capturing rampaging animals, to ensuring the quality of your themed exhibits, we will have them all!

• Sandbox:
  Choose how you want to play by setting difficulty, starting funds, disaster occurrence chance, (and more!) in the start game menu; craft your experience just as you like!

• Ranger Mode: A special mechanic central to the game, the ranger mode is a fundamental feature included in all the other modes that will allow you to walk through your park as one of the park's wardens.

You will have at your disposition a large roster of extinct animals to fill your exhibits with, ranging from the tiny Velociraptor, to the gigantic Brachiosaurus, and from the long-gone Dimetrodon, to the more recently-extinct Mammuthus.

The visitors of Prehistoric Kingdom will be varied and always looking to have a good time in your park, exploring exhibits, viewing animals, and enjoying the services offered by yours amenities and attractions.

Through our randomizer system, your guests will not only be always different from each other in terms of their looks (age, skin tone, physique, clothing, etc.), but also in terms of their preferences and likings. Based on that, you will be able to categorize most guests under 3 groups:

• Thrill Seekers
  These are the visitors that will always enjoy action and all around being thrilled. Their main preference will be large animals, especially carnivores.
• Paleo Enthusiasts
  This group of people is characterized by their fondness of prehistory: they will always appreciate a scientifically accurate exhibit, and always like most animals in your park.
• Mainstream
  Not entering in any of the above categories, mainstreams will be satisfied with most exhibits and animals, as long as they are properly cared for.

In order to make a realistic natural reserve, every structure needs to reflect on real world designs found in zoos and parks all around the globe. Even though the game is going to allow for a certain level of stylistic originality varied for each player, all paths, fences, buildings, rides, and even decorations are going to retain the same approach to their design, sporting a healthy mix between modern architecture and the use of common, earthy materials.

Although there are probably going to be hundreds of structure types in the fully released game, all of them can be neatly separated into 7 main building categories:

• Fences. Self-explanatory - fences are what contain your animals, and they come in a variety of designs, styles, but also security levels.

• Animal Care. Any building that has a role in keeping your animals safe and happy - from nurseries to shelters, feeders, and even recreational toys.

• Infrastructure. These buildings are the true core of your park, as they keep Prehistoric Kingdom up and running. Here you can find power generators, utility buildings, but even vehicle depots and staff-exclusive compounds.

• Amenities. Structures like vendors, kiosks, restaurants, restrooms, and more, are what maintain a high level of comfort and satisfaction between your park attendants.

• Attractions. Visitors will always have fun with these buildings, may they be simple viewing platforms, vehicle rides, or even playgrounds.

• Paths and Roads. Just like fences, paths will come in a great variety of textures: dirt, stone, sand, wood, asphalt and much, much more!

• Decorations. Being special structures, most often of small size, decorations will contribute greatly to the overall visuals of your creations. Sometimes, they even have a more functional status (i.e. benches, picnic tables, lamps, etc.).

We are going to include 3 premade islands in the Early Access release for you to build on. Each can be found in a different location, featuring a distinct climate: Subtropical, Tropical, and Boreal. Moreover, you will have at your disposal 3 terraforming climates, each with their own 8 plant types, and 4 ground textures, these being the same plants and soils present in the premade maps. As these are part of the terraforming toolset, players will be able to use them on whichever map they like.

Eventually, throughout development, we are going to expand on this feature in order to include 8 total different maps and climates.

Sound Effects

Our animal sound effects are obtained mixing and editing the sounds produced by modern, living animals, most of the times the closest available relatives of said prehistoric species. Much effort and time is put into crafting sounds, in such a way that the finished product will make you feel immersed in a living, breathing world.

Soundtrack

Our talented composer, Byron McKay (previous work includes the soundtrack for the Minecraft Fossils and Archeology mod) is responsible for the musical arrangements accompanying your choices throughout the game. Not unlike film music, our goal with the soundtrack is to capture the emotions of awe and wonder presented by the concept of the game, acting as a guiding hand alongside the player throughout their journey.

Developer Blue Meridian and publisher Crytivo have released a first glimpse of what you can expect in bringing these long-extinct animals back to nature. The exclusive first-look trailer above features famed zoologist and nature host Nigel Marven, who provides voice-over narration for an authentic documentary-style overview, while showing off a few of the many animals and habitats you'll create.

Prehistoric Kingdom will release into early access with 22 animals, including Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Lambeosaurus, Styracosaurus, Mammuthus, Smilodon, and Coelodonta, with more coming after release. To house all those creatures, you'll be able to terraform your park to transform biomes like grassland, tropical, wetland, coastal, and more, while adding modular and pre-built buildings to attract customers, all while balancing the health of the animals with the happiness of your visitors.

Seit ein paar Tagen ist mit Prehistoric Kingdom ein Parkbau-Spiel im Early Access auf dem PC verfügbar, dass sich als Alternative zu den Jurassic-World-Evolution-Spielen von Frontier Developments etablieren will und dazu auf die Stärken von Frontiers anderem Parkbauspiel setzt, nämlich Planet Zoo.

Prehistoric Kingdom bietet nämlich viel mehr Möglichkeiten bei der Parkgestaltung und setzt bislang noch viel weniger auf das Management der Parks. Allerdings ist das Spiel auch noch lange nicht fertig. Rund zwei Jahre wollen sich die Entwickler für die Arbeit bis zur Version 1.0 nehmen und nicht nur neue Inhalte einbauen, sondern auch auf das Feedback der Spieler eingehen.

The 1.1 update is now available! Introducing 3 new species, the desert biome, and new guest behaviours, this major title update is one you can sink your teeth into.
