Saurian - A Dinosaur Simulator

[P.Funkei]

Much has transpired since the last update I've posted here, including the official reveal of RJ Palmer - renowned for his renditions of realistic Pokemon - as a member of Saurian's development team (concept artist) and a gameplay trailer.

We are happy at Saurian to welcome popular creature artist RJ Palmer to our ranks. To celebrate the addition, here are some of his animal concepts for the game.

While we here at Saurian have been plugging away behind the scenes at the game itself, we were lucky to recruited talented and popular creature artist RJ Palmer as a conceptual artist. He has provided some truly excellent designs for our animals thus far and we thought it was about time we showed off some of his work.

We are quite fortunate to have the aid of such prestige. The input of someone with a real artistic eye alongside the scientific knowledge of our other staff is sure to provide some truly unique animal designs as beautiful as they are accurate.

Check out RJ's work for Saurian below and in our gallery. He can also be found on DeviantART (Deviantart.com) and Tumblr (Grimchild.tumblr.com)

You are about to watch footage of dinosaurs and feathers in a video game, very likely at the same time.

It also contains pre-alpha gameplay features such as poor FPS, placeholder sounds, temporary assets, unfinished lighting, misbehaving animations, partially finished models, incomplete mapping, unfinished code and a whole bunch of other stuff that is most likely broken and looks like coprolite. Don't worry, we're working on it

(The music is still beast though, and a huge thank you to Saurian's composer Michael Ward! Soundcloud.com)

We are Saurian, an independent game project who's goal is to provide the most captivating dinosaur experience ever developed for commercial gaming by recreating the Hell Creek ecosystem of 66 million years ago through the Unity 3D Game engine, giving the player the first true chance to live like a dinosaur.

Finally, an interview with Brian Switek of Dinologue has been released. It details some of the research that went into Saurian, amongst other things.

If you find this to be a promising project, and would want nothing more than to have it see the light of day, please vote for it for Indie of the Year on IndieDB, and make haste, because there's less than two hours left as of the time of this post. I apologize for procrastinating for so long.

I hope this game alone with JW, the new Primal Carnage, and theHunter: Primal are signifying of a new surge in dinosaur popularity. Will this mean Dino Crisis 4 at long last? I hope so.
