Suggestions?

Yep, it's just postponed. When I come back to it I will likely start from scratch (but use the same art).

So will this mean the dinos might get remade/edited? Because now that I have had the chance to get a better view of most of the dinos in the Raptor Safari pics, I noticed a couple errors in most of them.
I could walk you through them all if you wanted.

By saying he will use the same art, I believe he meant the the 3d models as well, since that is considered to be game art too.

Oh. I thought he meant concept art.
Either way, there are still a few inaccuracies.

I know this topic is very, very, very old, but what about seeing things from a first person view? Eg. when you control a dino, you can switch from a 3. person view to a 1. person view with a button on the side of the screen. If you got too far in the creation of the game to do this, ignore my post .

Creation of the game? What game? Oh yeah, he was meant to be doing a dinosaur game wasn't he . . .

Hahaha . But, yes, you're right, unfortunately. I hope Andy will be back soon.

Help, I don't want to die before I play this game! It's just that I love dinosaurs, and this game would really be fun if it is completed. I loved the idea of having dinos in an ecosystem, and not like those ugly games where they attack you and you kill them with guns or whatever those things are...

You know, I think I'll stand by my suggestion for currency I made a couple of years ago...

Oooooh!!!!!!! I got it! I got it! DINO DUNG!!!!!!!!!! Or, if you want to be scientific, Coprolites! It would go great with the theme, but I'm not sure if the gameplay would agree with it, I'll leave it at that .

Hmm... That could be an interesting game mechanic. Like, when a dinosaur poops, you don't get currency right away- you have to wait a while while it decomposes, then you get currency. And there could be another type of currency that you get immediatly when an animal does something (no clue what it could be) so you could take x amount of coprolites to turn into x amount of something, and vice versa. This way, there would be a balance between long-term investment (coprolites, which would involve making rain to grow plants for dinos to eat) and short-term investment (I don't know... any ideas?) And perhaps the unknown currency could be what you use for rain, and the coprolites be what you use for the unknown cause of recieving unknown currency. But as your ecosystem grows, perhaps rain and such could have a bigger effect, making you a 'profit'.

I do like the idea, however, lets not turn this into a "Tycoon" based game where profit/income/outcome become the key words and rule the game.

I somehow don't see gamers eagerly gathering dinosaur poop, come to think of it.
