The Mosa chasing the Cryptoclidus felt like something out of a paleo documentary. Prehistoric Planet had a similar scene, the only difference was that the Mosasaur caught its prey!
I actually love the idea of this type of expansion. It’s always great to get big, powerful creatures, but we need more smaller creatures to flesh out the world. And what makes this great is that these smaller creatures are useful. I can’t wait to see what’s next, whenever that may be. I hope the ocean keeps getting love, as well as the other biomes. It be great to get some dinos, mammals, birds and pterosaurs in this type of size range.
I am so happy to see Cryptoclidus and Obelisk Squid in game. I cant' believe how small Cryptoclidus is! I am glad to see little plesiosaur and smol squid fill the gap of shallow ocean. You don't get to see more aquatic animals often. We only see fish, turtle, ichthyosaur, shark and ray by swallow water. Basilosaurus is somewhat quite rare to see. I am glad those two fill the niches of shallow water to make ocean look more alive than ever! Amazing job, team.
@@Dinosaurian364It's absurd in the best possible way, I'm so sick of being attacked by everything and if you get hit by Jellyfish it's basically game over. The bassy is great but that's the only safe dino basically so it's so refreshing to see something else helpful and won't kill you on the spot
I love them so much more than I was expecting. Out of all aquatic creatures, both vanilla and modded, this is the first not-totally-and-shockingly-busted creature I have seen that I would want to use over the sarco. It’s so pretty and cute and happy-looking! The detail is incredible, I love how it’s a small carnivore, the ecologist in me is fascinated by the ecosystem role you are implying (I say implying only because the ark ocean does not behave like an ecosystem), and most of all we finally have a small creature from PaleoArk! I didn’t fall in love with the mod for your apex killers but for the little guys. I love the paleo tyrannosaurus and giga (currently working on establishing a breeding line for both), I miss the small to medium sized reworks. This little reptile is a gorgeous, fluid, delightful gift to the community. The obelisk squid is also great. I personally love both calamari and actual squid, and this feels like another fleshing out of the ecosystem. I can’t wait to tame and (hopefully) eventually breed out some pretty squid to wander around my fish pond. Thank you PaleoArk team, and thank you Becca❤️🖤🦑 Darkedge clan for life!
Finally a proper plesiosaur in ark. The one we always had just never looked quite right even within the stylisation of the other dinos. Also the hydrotherosaurus from additional.creatures was quite nice
I really love your showcase video DarkEdgeTV!They really help me in my pursuit to tame the creatures with much ease and that video where you showcased some of your modding work was absolutely bloody amazing!Congrats for joining the modding the modding community especially joining the big guns(Paleo Ark and other guys)
I wasn’t initially excited for the cryptoclidus but I really love this guy and the mosa looks awesome, I’m not on the island right now, so the aberrant variant is going to be good to get and maybe will even be my key to getting the last of the artifacts on ab since I haven’t done the water cave yet. Can’t wait for the mosa though I need to tame one for achievement sake before the mod comes out, unless the evo creatures count towards the tame for their regular variants as that would be great.
Guys, the Evo Mosa is the TLC we need, and all I'll say about the mosa is that this Evo Variant looks badass!!!! I LOVE IT, CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS BEHEMOTH TO RELEASE!!!!!
Truly impressive work here. Thank you so much for all of your hard work. I don't know if the community quite comprehends how much this tame truly changes the ocean game.
I absolutely adore this creature. Been using one on The Center and everything from its animations while swimming and jumping to its wonderful little roar noise to its special perks are incredibly well designed. Definitely using one in future playthroughs on any map with water biomes.
This will instantly be added to our mods on our server! LOVE your teams' creations! Even if it's taken a long time to create it's worth the wait! Good job! ❤
Ahhhhhhh!!!! So I haven’t finished the video but I just got to the part where the mosa is chasing. Totally geeking out right now!!! Y’all freaking cook. It’s so imposing!!!! And the crypto animations and model (along with the beautiful remaster of ASA) make it look so realistic!!! I love it.
Lol, I love how many times you got jump-scared. This guy is going to be a hilarious addition, if only for the number of times people will forget that they still need to give space to predators and get too close 😂
I’ll admit I wasn’t the most excited for cryptocleidus when it came to all the exciting additions for this mod. But after hearing of all the trouble it gave during development I became pretty interested in seeing it in game, I’m pleasantly surprised to see how soon after it ended up in game. I love how adorable and useful these little guys are and it gets me very excited for the evo elasmosaur, not to mention the unexpected surprise of the mosa.
It’s always amazing to see you and your teams work, and I’m really excited about what’s next to come! One thing I really hope, and I know it’s not really shared with everyone, is that there will be introduction to smaller creatures in the future, I mostly just wanna see a lot of different kinds of fish in the water mostly to make the oceans and any other bodies of waters feel alive.
Oh yes we do have smaller critters, or "endemics" planned :D They're not a big priority, likely something to occur in the background between other creatures, but it is on our list
Damn I've been here a long time. From the old channel to the survival channel. Spore to Ark Ascended, certainly an interesting switch. Still, Darkedge is a creature modelling channel regardless LOL
Okay at first when I watched your upcoming mods video when you're talking about the cryptoclidus I wasn't 100% what to think of it but now that I actually see it in game and see how useful is it I want 1000 of the goddamn lizard seals.
Honestly, that Crypto looks precious! Absolutely fantastic. I don't know why, but at the moment I get a lot more excited for new early to mid game creatures. Great work once again. I also agree about the Aberrant versions in ASA look... rather tacky like there was minimal thought out into them...slapped on patches. IMO, the new Aberrant Majunga has the best looking implementation of such a skin variant. Lastly... please tell me wild Mosas will have the minimum depth mechanic. If there is one thing I don't like about a Tylo is how it follows you to the shoreline and does the whirlpool attack flying in the air and all over the place. I mean the sea is already uninviting as is lol. Great video really hyping me up to use these creatures!
So, I have finally tested it on PS5 and I do love it. It can easily replace the Itchy 100%. Saying that, the Aberrant version isn't spawning, instead it's the regular which then has the issue with crypoding stating class is not allowed. Secondly it doesn't seem either of its attacks harvests pearls atm. Also, I'm going to guess Piranhas aggroing to it is by design, right? I mean it still takes care of them easily. I haven't tested if it has the squid damage buff Vs the Tuso yet... like the Helicopreon does.... that's the next test. Having used it more I think it could use a much bigger hit box around it's mouth and an auto-harvesting like the Bary for fish... maybe even some bonus damage on fish &squid?
Lastly, I swear the obelisk squid is too nice to simply stay as a harvesting prop only. What if there was a small chance to spawn a weight lvl 6 or something that was actually tameable and ridable even if it was almost pointless...and of course... a Chibi for it lol
Fun fact, at the time this is posted there is a bug where you can fly with the Crypto if you angle it just right when you use the barrel roll near the surface. You'll stay flying unless you renter the water or touch the ground. Again, obviously a bug that I hope will be fixed in the future, but it's hilarious regardless.
I had a weird encounter with the crypyo today. I'm building in Stonehenge on Island and all off a sudden one was actually floating in the air and it looked like it was swimming. I was able to tame it. We just added the mod today. I tried finding a discord because i have a video off it but couldn't find one. But maybe worth mention it too the team 😊.
I am definitely taking note of file sizes if I ever want to make models like this one day, that tone of voice means resizing that creature's model was painful to the highest degree ^^"
I have a suggestion! I know you're only responsible for the modelling of things, however you are in kahoots with the other mod devs! I was thinking a neat detail would be if the "amphibious" creatures had a shader that applied a dirt/sand texture to their bodies when on shore that inherits the texture of the terrain. This is a fantastic mod with insanely professional quality creatures, thank you guys for making this out of love and passion. Y'all are the new Wildcard. ❤️
That's a really interesting idea, I'm not sure if it's possible but I'll forward that over! Also, thanks a tonne! 💕 and thank you also for recognising I am not responsible for things outside of models, hehe
I'm not sure if it's been reported, but there is a really funny bug that happens when you jump out of the surface of the water at steep angles. The Crypto actually goes far up in the air and stays there floating mid air 😂. It then acts in the air as if it was on land. I thought it was pretty funny as I was trying to escape a Tylo! Also, the Crypto is hands down my favourite modded water creature so far... just the perfect creature to actually enjoy underwear exploring and not having 20 sharks homing in on you from every angle constantly is so... liberating!
I am very glad and grateful for you and the modders putting so much effort into this and made it a free purchase. I was so surprised, also may I know what kind of website or app are you using to create these models? I would like to make my own one day
I absolutely love this!! Cant wait to tame an abberant crypto! Do the crypto and squid spawn on The Island? I've spent a good time searching but havent been able to find them.
One of the things that impress me the most with Crypto is the fact you managed to give it that much detail with just 8.6 million polys 🤣 Congrats on your hard work!
Yeah you don't have to rush anything your fine most of everyone can just go run down a hill I can wait till you guys can get these done you have no reason to rush things or else will get ugly you so keep up the great work of the creatures animations these dinosaurs and sea creatures
8:44 The Mosa idly floating in the dark has the same ominous energy that the Barracuda from Finding Nemo had.
That scene was always scary and still is
God that was such an iconic scene
Same energy from that one Sea Beast scene
What mod was that mosa from?

Such a pleasure to animate this critter despite the pain to endure it and to see it ingame is an absolute relief.
Noice
I heard about the challenges you faced with it 😂 glad that it's in the game now.
Wishing you a lot of fun with your endeavors!
You did such a fantastic job Toku, thank you for persevering 💕
@@DarkEdgeTVSurvival I won't let you give the rest of your team all the credit, Becca. You also did a fantastic job.

I love the fact paleos first addition to ascended is a SMALL and absolutely adorable tame
imagine spawning on the beach and a mosa just casually goes on land and eats you
Or imagine you're walking with your Rex on the beach and a mosa came, grab your Rex (YES, it will be able to grab Rexes) and takes it to the deeps

Obelisk squid was, how I thought at least, a meg sized tuso esque thing found near obelisks🤣
Safe to say I was wrong.
This mod is absurd, this dino is ridiculously helpful and its absolutely great, finally the ocean won't be a complete death sentence
When you said absurd i thought u were hating on it till i fully read it XD
I dont think "this mod is absurd" is the best way to start it lol
@@Dinosaurian364It's absurd in the best possible way, I'm so sick of being attacked by everything and if you get hit by Jellyfish it's basically game over. The bassy is great but that's the only safe dino basically so it's so refreshing to see something else helpful and won't kill you on the spot

The crypto is really amazing n cute.
Bty, did u meant mosa animation not finished?
I’m the kinda person who gets attached to my favorite tames so this thing is going to go everywhere.
And I mean EVERYWHERE
I would love to see a evo liopleurodon. Just one that doesn’t disappear and maybe based off walking with dinosaurs.
One of the things that impress me the most with Crypto is the fact you managed to give it that much detail with just 8.6 million polys 🤣 Congrats on your hard work!
Haha, thank you very much :D
Yeah you don't have to rush anything your fine most of everyone can just go run down a hill I can wait till you guys can get these done you have no reason to rush things or else will get ugly you so keep up the great work of the creatures animations these dinosaurs and sea creatures
