Sadly humans and cats are synapsids while birds and dinosaurs are archosaurs. So Char and Frisk can not be dinosaurs. Raptor Jesus still finds us all delicious though!
I think it's a smart move by indie creators to have non-human creatures as the main enemies (and friends, for that matter), from a pure scope/resource standpoint. You won't notice the uncanny valley effect from non-professional, kinda bad texturing or animations if whatever you're looking at isn't trying to be human to begin with, and AI acting in predictable and stupid ways is a lot easier to brush off if you're fighting a robot or a wild animal than if you're fighting e.g. a security guard - so the bar for acceptable quality is a lot easier to reach. Plus cool monsters are always more memorable than "it's just a dude lol" human enemies.
It goes even further with dinosaurs, since even with extensive research we can’t know for sure what they looked like. Texture not working out? Who cares! Just change it cos no one knows what they looked like anyway
It's nice to see free demos becoming a standard in the indie scene, it's a great way to let people see if something a bit more obscure is actually a game they'd be interested in and makes it clear that the title isn't just an asset flip.
Backed immediately when I looked through their FAQ and stuff. Hearing that they took level design inspiration from the System Shock games is very exciting.
Gorgonopsids are significantly closer to mammals than to dinosaurs, as a group they died out at the end of the Permian before dinosaurs evolved, the largest species was around the size of brown bear.
They are Synapsids or mammal like reptiles. They are basically reptiles starting to transition into mammals. So they got characteristics of both mammals as well as reptiles.
@@CharlatanWonder synapsids, proto-mammals so... sort of? Dimetrodon is the most famous of the synapsids although the way taxonomy works mammals are also synapsids due to the word also applying to the clade synapsids belong to. Birds (and by extension dinosaurs) and crocodilians are in the archosauria clade.
@@CharlatanWonder hey there! Got a question, can I contact you in any way, aside from comments in here? I can't find a business email (which is understandable given the anti-sponsorship segments, I suppose) or any other contact for that matter...
Thank you for putting me onto a new game for me to squirrel away for me and my daughter, Charl. Again, we love watching your indie videos together, and we appreciate the stuff you put out. Ps, the daughter requests to hear the chunky Boi meow during a video, perhaps one day
Gorgonopsid was featured in the show Primeval by the BBC as a monster in their earlier episodes. They were real, and fucking scary animals. Like a dinosaur crossed with a sabertooth.
Despite having been subbed for a loooooooong time, youtube didn't serve me a single halloween in july video this year. Only when I randomly hit the "show me some new videos I usually wouldn't see" button on the homepage did it actually show me this. Wild!
I find it a bit sad that most people don't know what creatures as cool as Gorgonopsids were, it really shows how terrible public knowledge of palaeontology is, a better example might be something like the fact that people think Pterodactyls are a thing but this one is still good. Also that game looks amazing and it's always nice to see more accurate designs and niche creatures in palaeo media not specifically made by palaeontologists. I probably can't afford to back th project right now but I'll definitely get the game when/if it releases.
First 1 minute of talking about the game and say no more-! Just the theme and setup is so interesting to me and just right up my alley. Sorry I didn't watch the video through, I want to experience it all by myself now and support the project!
I was already intrigued by the video (I recently found your channel and love your videos! ❤) but the mention of my FAVORITE CHILDHOOD GAME at 8:21 had me shocked 😭. I want to see what you think of the trilogy so badly now. I am VERY looking forward to that video!!!
I would love to make an immersive sim one day but 3rd person and I’ve only played a few of them but I love the possibility of going on missions and having many ways of doing it based off of your skills in game and your brain
Wow I am surprisingly early! It is so crazy to me that I was still early in my bachelors when i saw my first halloween in july and by the time the next one rolls around I will be done with my masters and start my PhD, hopefully by then I'll finally have the money to get my own patron apron if you still do those next year. All the love and thank you for what you're doing
I am just waiting for a day where you will review a life sim like Inzoi or Paralives and make a bad joke about immersive sim(s) but then again these games are out of your ballpark.
Survival horror with dinos. Hero shooters with dinos. Sandbox survival with dinos. sandbox survival AS a dinosaur, now Immersive sims with dinos. whens the 6DoF shooter, RTS, and Colony Sim with dinos.
Its really bad though. Yes its a solo dev but combat is abysmal and breaks the game. Stealth is undercooked and unneeded at all. Story jumps from place to place and than sudenly you fight a god like in some jrpg.
I am sad to report it did not do the thing. For I am subscribed already, and I am sad I wanted to see the thing with the likes, which it didn't do either...sad! Come on UA-cam the nice man said the silly script give the shiny! But also I remember this talk on tumblr long ago about something like this, which it's cool finally an idea like this was mad and was not a total scam...the number of times that happened. Anyway glad to see the immersive sim get dinos finally!
I need graphics in a first person game to make me SOMEWHAT able to immerse myself. Yes, 20 years ago this would be impressive, but once you have opened Pandorras Box and know how games COULD look, you can't just pretend this is fine. Unless you are one of THOSE people.
Title: There are dinosaurs.
Script: There are dinosaurs.
Video: There are dinosaurs.
Comments: Are you a dinosaur?
100% dinosaurs everywhere at all times!
I wasn't entirely sure whether the game featured dinosaurs. Thanks for clearing that up!

it's a ps2 styled game I don't think they'd have to worry about the "uncanny valley" anyway
Yeah I was gonna say this haha. At this graphics quality it's like the opposite of the uncanny valley @@eeaahh
Would zombies or mutated humanoids still be able to pull it off?
Also no dialogue/VO needed!
It's nice to see free demos becoming a standard in the indie scene, it's a great way to let people see if something a bit more obscure is actually a game they'd be interested in and makes it clear that the title isn't just an asset flip.
Dinosaurs? Immersive Sim???? Count me in!
(Frisk also knows that's his spot, cause it's warm over the dishwasher. He's simply being economical :P )

He's quite a mouthy one but knows when I filming and doesn't say anything. He's rude like that.
About time someone did it.
I've been keen for this ever since I played the first demo, I hope this Kickstarter will succeed.
I don't think Frisk cares that's the dish drying pad
I fits, so I must sits!
charl you make my heart sing with the next video, i really hope those are getting rereleased like we've been hearing
Somehow i read the title as "What if The Sims had dinosaurs" and i got really intrigued 😅
LET'S DO THAT TOO!
Same
oh boy, another 15 money money cash dolla DLC

They got the funds!
I regret to inform you, it did not do the thing. The game does look sick tho, played a bit of the demo and really enjoyed it.

You literally just described Gordon Freeman.
And he has a body count higher than the U.S miltary.
Infact, its PADDED with the U.S military lol

Most cat Frisk moment yet, being a sonofabitch. Hope the Kickstarter yets blown out of the water

The tram area almost reminds me of the tram in dead space
We might have box-stacking, but do we have dino-stacking? Can we make mine ladders to climb sauropods? Is there emergent paleontology?
Kinda hoped you would be playing as a dino in this but it still looks pretty good
Don't think it's gonna be an imsim, but look up 'Kyoryu' (if you aren't already familiar)
It did the thing
🔥🔥🔥
9:10 Would love MFPNP game to exist someday
Cool game! But why is it called the same as an indie biopunk visual novel?
YES DINOSAURS!!!

that's a fast wishlist
Was wondering if you would mention Corpus Edax, I've been loving that game since it was fully released
Oh yeah I've been playing a lot of that. Video should hopefully be next week.
