Demo Patch Notes 1.0.18



Time for another patch Demo Players! Here's a rundown of the fixes. Make sure you update before starting the demo up again.

Version 1.0.18

  • The player should no longer slide or bounce out of the saddle when using certain dino skills.

  • Some strange behaviour near the Coelophysis and Scelidosaurus spawn points has been fixed.
  • Wild dino colours should no longer reset when reloading an autosave.
  • The player can now give dinos shorter names than 3 characters.


Known Issues

  • Quitting to menu from sitting on a bench or sofa is very tempting, but it can cause some issues when reentering the game.
  • Optimising your first Gallimimus's happiness so much that they reach helper level the day after taming can cause problems with tutorials.

Watch a replay of our Dev Team giving everyone an in-depth overview of what went into customisation in the game, from clothes to ranch decor. 👕
You'll get a sneak peek at what gets unlocked in Dapplewood 🌲 and Ariacotta 🌵

You'll also hear all about Abigail's sneaky colour-matching in Paleo Pines. Did she secretly colour-match dinos to outfits or outfits to dinos? Either way, the outcome is adorably sweet 🫐
