Dear Project Crynosaurs fans,
Over the course of the past year and a half, you've followed us as we've endeavored to fulfill our stated objective: To bring Dinosaurs to Cryengine. While we had some ups and downs, we feel we've accomplished our stated goal for the most part. During development however, its become clear that Project Crynosaurs as we originally envisioned it, combining Human and Dinosaur gameplay in an open world survival setting, would be a very tall order for us as a small, unfunded Indie team to bring to fruition. We have come to the realization that attempting to meld both styles of gameplay together would significantly delay our ability to deliver a game to you, the public, and would require compromises that would prevent us from fully realizing our vision for the Project. To that end, we have decided to create two separate game experiences as independent teams. This has been a very difficult and thought out decision for us, but ultimately it is for the best. It will allow for each development team to focus on producing a specific vision and implementing it with fewer of the compromises that face Indie developers like ourselves.
One portion of the team will continue with development of a Dinosaur based survival simulator set in the Hell Creek Formation of 66 million years ago. This team will be combining forces with Dinosaur Battleground (

The other portion of our team will continue developing Crynosaurs in the spirit of the original tech demo: a first person, human based survival experience, with a focus on strategy, exploration and problem solving. Crynosaurs will continue development utilizing Cryengine, and you can continue to follow along on Facebook, Twitter, and
Crynosaurs.com.
Most importantly, a big thank you to everyone who has supported our development thus far. We have had a great time working together as a group, and look forward to independently developing our respective projects.
Sincerely,
The Project Crynosaurs Development Team
