Age of Jura - Release Notes - v0.2.4


Build ID: 8827741


  • Bugfix: Shooting a projectile (spear/arrow/spit) was very laggy (bug was introduced in v0.2.3 by the 'under attack' message)



  • Bugfix: The researched speed was only applied on the in-game units and not on the newly crafted units
  • Bugfix: Instantly update the max population limit after a hut is build or destroyed
  • Improve the topright corner UI: Grey-out the unit icon in the topright corner if you don't have any units of that type
  • Improve the topright corner UI: Be able to select all (+idle) units of a specific type instead of only the idle ones (hover with the mouse over the icon to see the current amount of units of that type, click to select all, click on the 'idle' button below that to only select the idle units of that type)






NOTE: reason for releasing a day after v0.2.3: To fix a bug in the previous release that made the game very laggy and actually unplayable in some fights.

Here are the updates for v0.2.3:

Age of Jura - Release Notes - v0.2.3


Build ID: 8694495


  • New research: "Sharp Arrows" (Archers do more damage) - only available after research 'Archery' is completed



  • Show a notification somewhere in the screen if any of your structures or units are under attack



  • Villagers are now able to repair damaged structures



  • Create selectable groups of units to have more control (quicker selections when attacking) usage: select a group of units, press CTRL+1 to assign to group 1. Select another group of units, press CTRL+2 to assign to group 2. Now you can quickly press the key 1 to select group 1, and press the key 2 to select group 2 (works for all number keys 0-9). Comes in handy when for example you want your warriors to be in the front and your archers following at a distance: create a group for your warriors and a group for your archers and while attacking switch between the groups.

  • A Dinosaur will first go to sleep at the spot where it will create a new nest, to make it visually clear that a new nest is being created (you can quickly kill that dinosaur if you don't want another nest)



  • Got rid of the difficult calculation for new nests, now: after a dinosaur of any nest is attacked, a random dinosaur of that nest will wonder off after a certain time to create a new nest (it will first sleep at that spot)
  • New nests will be created further away from the current nest
  • Added an option in the menu to change the brightness of the game



  • Disable the minimap in the Arena
  • Bugfix: The edges of the Arena were visible, they are now hidden
  • Bugfix: Remove the 'corner-darkness' (vignette) after a level has started
  • Bugfix: Fix the mouse hover bug when hovering over 'build structure' panel
  • Bugfix: Fix rare animation bug for archers
  • Bugfix: When a structure is placed on the edge of the water, the ground will lift a bit higher up to avoid water flowing 'into' the structure
  • Bugfix: Humans were getting stuckbetween two smelters if they were placed too close to each other
  • Bugfix: When the multiplier 5x or 10x was selected (at a structure) then the amount of costs for a new structure also did show they costs 5x or 10x more
  • Bugfix: When x-ray is disabled, and selection is still active, the selected units are still highlighted in green (instead of blue)
  • Bugfix: Fix bug where sometimes Villagers can be shown as 'idle' but they are not (they are just standing still a split second after dropping off stuff for example)

Age of Jura - Release Notes - v0.2.0


Build ID: 8390960

  • Created a "Crafting Multiplier" option at each crafting menu (to craft 1, 5 or 10 items at once) - NOTE: Right click on the craftable icon = remove the amount from the craft queue !



  • If (in the case of crafting Humans) a Crafting Multiplier amount is set (for example 5) and the MaxPopulation is not reached but also hasn't got room for 5 more, a special message will be given on mouse hover (to reduce the amount)
  • Added X-Ray Vision: When researched and activated (by icon or pressing 'V') it consumes Knowledge Points while active, and it will show the world in grayscale, with all your structures/units light up in green, resources in blue and animals/nests in red. With the X-Ray vision it's much easier to locate hidden stuff behind a bunch of trees.

    Example of the X-Ray Vision:


    Compared to the same location without X-Ray Vision:


  • Minimap: The minimap now has a cirle shaped mask
  • Minimap: The whole map now rotates the same way as the world is rotated, the arrow (angle pointer) is now removed
  • Minimap: The minimap now uses an orthographic camera view (usually used for minimaps)
  • Minimap: A map only has to be researched on the training level (world 1), on all other levels the minimap is directly available.
  • Bugfix Selections: When multiple human-types are selected, the minus button (bottom) now works properly (and with CTRL pressed, you can do 'minus one' of one kind)



  • Added World 6 "Skull crushers" (with new dinosaur: Pachycephalosaurus)



  • Added World 7 "Pointy toddlers" (with new dinosaur: Triceratops)



  • The new dinosaurs Pachycephalosaurus and Triceratops will do damage to multiple humans if they are close to the attack area (head). So a large group of humans can now be killed quickly by these type of animals.
  • Fishing: Catching a fish now takes a bit less time then before
  • Fishing: Every fishing spot has an 'entrance' for villagers to walk to and to start fishing. This is now visually shown with leaves.
  • Fishing: It is not possible anymore to build a structure on top of a fishing spot 'entrance' (to avoid a bug that villagers won't be able to walk up to a fishing spot when there is a structure)



  • Any placed structure foundation will be automatically build by the closest villager, it will pause it's current task to build the structure.
  • Bugfix: Villagers can now harvest right near the entrance position of a storage (Example of the bug shown in v0.1.8 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhqA9NY6uxg&t=3108s )
  • Bugfix: When a dino is killed near a structure it can drop meat/skin under the structure. These items will now be moved to the entrance of any structure, so villagers can reach it.
  • Bugfix: Structures can now be build on places where items are laying on the floor
  • Bugfix: When an action is finished (Build/Chop/Mine...) then reset the destination of that human (it sometimes used to walk into a structure for example after building)
  • Bugfix: Camera movement with the mouse on the screen edge while you are rotated now works correctly (the rotation was ignored before)
  • Bugfix: Placing a structure in a world with many structures was causing the game to run very slowly during the visibility of the structure placeholder
  • Bugfix: There is now a small delay between selecting a structure to build, and the actual placement (to avoid a bug that sometimes a structure would be placed directly after selecting it in the menu)
  • Bugfix: The screen is not frozen anymore when an animal drops a large amount of meat/skins
  • Now max 40 houses can be build instead of 20 (is 80 max population without researches (40*2) or 200 (40*5) population with full researches)
  • Humans and animals can not walk through buildings anymore
  • Animals will automatically heal their wounds over time
  • Updated world 2: Added some more ground for building structures
  • Updated world 3: Added more trees
  • Add more fishing spots/trees (various worlds)
  • Storage: add barrels to the back of the storage so you can see what's the front (where villagers will go to drop their stuff)
  • Reset/normalize the foundations (wooden beams) of unbuild structures
  • The 'Troodon' dinosaur is now stronger (more attack damage, more speed)
  • When an animal is killed the meat/skin will now be rotated randomly
  • Reduce some research costs
  • Every tree now produces more wood
  • Every rock now produces more stones
  • Dinosaurs now travel to the edge of a structure and then directly attack, instead of using the center of a structure.
  • If the warrior/archer is not researched yet but you get one at the start of a level, the 'idle' button of that human type will also be shown
  • Show a mouse hover message when a structure can not be build with the error message directly shown (for example, 'not enough resources' or 'max 40 huts can be build')
  • Make the mouse text area a bit wider to support larger one-liner.

  • Bugfix: Rightclick on an item/resource: non-villagers now also move to that point and do not stand still
  • Bugfix: Disable colliders on 'carried' items, which caused humans to move on top of each other weirdly
  • Bugfix: Removed a long waiting time for villager on item drop (making each villeger much more 'responsive')
  • Villagers drop resources at the entrance of a storage instead of in the middle of the storage
  • Villagers gather on a random point around the resource, not all at the same spot
  • Easier selection of small animals: each animal now has a surrounding selection area (before it was almost impossible to 'target' a Compsognathus from a distance)
  • Nests expand after an animal of that nest is being attacked and the nest has at least 2 animals or max-2 animals left (+ after nest-expansion delay timer)
  • The nest-expansion timer resets every time an animal is being attacked, thus so long you keep attacking, the nest will not expand
  • Add texts on Research Recipes on mouse hover, so you know what the icon stands for
  • Re-order the Research list (smelting before warriors/archery because you need that first)
  • Changed Spearthrower animation and make it a bit faster
  • Flash a red color when rightclicking an animal (attacking) + flash a blue color on rightclicking an item (pickup)
  • Loose items on the ground now also have a blue outline on selection (skin/meat/etc)
  • Fishing spots now contains 1000 fish instead of 100
  • Speed up healing at firepit
  • Reduce food costs for healing (now 5 food = 25% health increase, was 20 food for 20% health increase before)
  • Reduce most costs to have a more active gameplay experience
  • Reduced Spearthrower range to 7 (was 10)
  • Reduced Spearthrower attackdamage to 5 (was 7)
  • Reduced Villager attackdamage to 1 (was 3)
  • Reduced Villager/Spearthrower health to 25 (was 100)
  • Reduced Archer health to 100 (was 150)
