Saurian is NOT a scam the devs on there discord said they are still working in the game, but they have been working different jobs outside of the project, and there is another dev-blog coming at the end of this year
@ I do apologise for the confusion, the title is for the Stomping Lands, as it’s a mini series about dinosaurs games that met a sorry fate. Saurian isn’t a scam but a victim of a dev stealing and robbing from the company
Saurian is the biggest shame, as you had countless people wanting to see this game come, and the devs wanted to make a great game, but one made into a scam.
I don’t think Saurian really belongs with the other two here. It wasn’t “practically robbed”, it straight up WAS robbed. Henry (one of the devs) has stated they’re still working on the game and even before the announcement, game development wasn’t exactly speedy. That said I still believe in the developers, they would’ve told us if they have given up. If anyone reading this wants to actually support Saurian in a legitimate way, I’d recommend buying the art book for Saurian off of Amazon. It offers insight onto the decisions behind the art design and accuracy choices they’ve made for their game.
(Avalanche closing the Second Extinction servers also means that you can't even play the game offline solo, hence the reason so many people are p*ssed off) I was a backer for Saurian, and I'm sad that happened to them. I hope it continues developing but to be honest, I've not touched the game for years because there was just no substance to the game, for me at least.
@@VelocciYTI believe that the damage has been bigger than what was reported because they literally had to fire everyone who worked with Saurian and what remains is a small group of volunteers who keep Saurian alive when they can. And even though they stopped the monthly Devblog, they still share small updates in the Saurian Discord group. And they are very nice when they have time to talk. But mostly the talk has been about the folliage and Tyrannosaurus updates that people have been asking for. Their new problem is that they don't have enough time to develop the game because nowadays they also do other jobs to make their living and developing Sauria has regressed into a side hobby. Edit: They currently need someone who has programming experience and is fluent with C#.
@@spinosaurus_aegyptiacus_yt I do believe the accuracy was as much an issue as the money. If they had kept going they could have patched in updated models later instead of starting over or kept the game as a time capsule of scientific theories _at the time_ which would have had merit in its own right. The project was doomed from the start with the mindset of uprooting progress for the sake of current ideals of accuracy. Dakotaraptor, the star of the game, might not even exist now.
Funfact: I'm a game called Garry's Mod there 2 mods that have some of both of the dinosaurs from Stomping Land and Saurian(2015) Includes *The Stomping Land* -Tyrannosaurus -Ankylosaurus -Styrachosaurus -Galimimus -Sigymoluch -Purutasaurus *Saurian (Cryosaurin)* -Tyrannosaurus -Triceratops -Thescylosaurus
I don’t care if you think your favorite dinosaur game is superior to them all. PoT, The Isle, and BoB are all great games, so can’t we just all be thankful that they didn’t end up like this?
ill mention once again and warn yall about pangea survival, a game that promised alot and than just stopped being developed with the servers being shut off shortly after despite being very promising at the start
i still play saurian from time to time. its a very cool game with great mechanics and soundtrack, though its a shame that it got shot down before it could really form anything amazing i hope that saurian comes back one day and has another major update, although the chances seem very slim
Well this video sounds concerning T-T Honestly, I hate when games do this. I feel like a lot of these have a good chance but they just- don’t do it (First?) (sigh I hate being that person)
Second Extinction devs are indeed scammers, they never finished making the game and didn't offer any refunds. They are also abandoning their other game Generation Zero. They are not a small developer, they get heaps of funding from Avalanche Studios, their parent company. Systemic Reaction are terrible developers tbh, their games are half-baked, buggy and unfinished messes. Anyway, I won't be buying another game from these devs (Systemic Reaction), they're far too incompetent and they abandon every game they make.
I hate that they abandoned SE, but to say they've also abandoned GZ is just nuts. The game is 6 years old and they've actively updated and improved it all this time. I'd call that pretty successful. Many many games don't last that long, that aren't considered "abandoned".
The one on Roblox? It's very much not finished, and is still in "beta". There is just an abscence of updates right now. The Roadmap states that the next update will come in December, and after that, the update cycle will resume.
stomping lands lol that became Ark. like it better when we were tribal only of the game and you had built Totem's of that version of the game. even had tattoo's.
Surprised Dinosaur Battlegrounds wasn't mentioned = it was in the 1st wave of Dinosaur Kickstarter pitches back in 2013, the scamming leader was a semi-respectable paleoartist and there was plenty of drama with the devteams of other failed dinosaur projects (Saurian, Mesozoica).
Well to be fare we still don’t know a ton about dinosaurs we recently thought trex was covered in feathers and people believed it to be accurate now we think Rex probably lost the feathers as it aged and they were probably bigger then originally thought. Plus come on do I have to explain Spinosaurus😅 I’d rather have games like pot,bob, and the isle because they don’t have to change much if they decide to update their designs.
@@YourLocalDemocracyOfficer1 technically not a scam as no funds were raised, although yes as it was put on hold it technically did meet a “sorry fate” like the others.
@@M-rex123 I agree it's really goofy and poor quality, but I wouldn't really call it a scam, since it's free. Though, I heard people not recieving the things they purchased for money in the store sometimes.
@@M-rex123 I meam, the remodels and new creatures (what most updates are comprised of) are nice, the annoying thing to me is that they keep ignoring blatant issues like the awful quest system (way worse than Path of Titans) and the half-baked map.
@@bamboozledbamboozler I understand the worry! I’m actually working on changing the thumbnail and title currently. The original idea was it to cover one of the games in the video in the thumbnail, as it’s able to set the tone for the video while encapsulating the game that is the biggest scam in the video, which got the most time coverage in the video ^^ I am currently working on a change for it tho!
Your editing is just too much at times. Extenuating your words by slapping quickly growing single words on screen and making certain paragraphs wobble in place is too overstimulating and makes it annoying to watch.
@@macronecteshalli9427 I appreciate the feedback, I’ll definitely tone down the single words for more at once, instead of the 1 at a time - will do it less
@@macronecteshalli9427 Hi wanted to prod this, i made some minor adjustments in the latest video, text popups are not 1 word each time and less paragraph wobble :)

Saurian was robbed and they focused to much on accuracy which lead to it's downfall
@@S071-0 I still think if they had the money they’d be able to keep going
Accuracy wasn’t the issue, it was going to be one of the best until they were robbed. It’s really a shame what happened to it.

Around the time of Saurian was also the Dinosaur Battlegrounds scam.
@@KerpSteen ah yes! I had found out some stuff about it the other day!
I’m not sure if Dinosaur Battlegrounds even got off the ground.
It's such a shame about Saurian. It's a game I know I would have loved to play because I am the biggest dinosaur realism enjoyer ever.
@@spicy_talaxian I do believe it’s still in development, just few and far between right now due to it all being volunteer work
I was wondering what happened to Saurian :( shame on that Manager.
i still play saurian from time to time. its a very cool game with great mechanics and soundtrack, though its a shame that it got shot down before it could really form anything amazing
i hope that saurian comes back one day and has another major update, although the chances seem very slim
i think theyre part time working on one currently!

Saurian had so much potential. But a greedy twat had to ruin it.
So.. people thinks accuracy of dinosaur games will always fail but overly Stylize dinos will always succeed?
Why?
@@vladline1882 I think it’s more so that the niche is a lot smaller for extreme realism sims?
