This special event is organized to celebrate World Animal Day and aims to raise awareness about animal welfare and conservation. During Animal Week, our game will be featured alongside a diverse selection of animal-themed games, offering players unique experiences that highlight the beauty and importance of the animals and environment worldwide.
We are proud to support efforts to protect wildlife and their habitats by participating in this event. This initiative promises to provide an educational and entertaining experience for all players. π€
The main partner of Animal Week is WWF Poland, a leading conservation organization, that brings their extensive expertise in wildlife protection and environmental sustainability. Their involvement in this event underscores the shared commitment of both organizations to foster a deeper understanding of animal conservation issues among the gaming community.

Meet our newest Paleo Pines Plushie, Boo. She's kinda spooky, a little bit ooky, but mostly she's a sweetheart. Available to purchase from Makeship until 28th October 2025 π
If having her in cuddle-able, squishable form isn't quite enough, we've also created some beautiful limited edition merchandise featuring the wonderful Elain Chen's concept art! Check out our Boo Collection here!
Halloween Merch
We're also introducing our new line of Halloween themed merch; including the delightful ghostly dinos shirt from our Spooktacular DLC! We've brought back some favourites from last year, and conjured up some new designs! Check out our scary socks, ghoulish glasses, and fearful phone cases while they're here!

Big Changes β’ Added the Trick or Treat and Spooktacular DLCs. β’ Added a new 'strength' boost which makes it possible to dig up and replant fully grown trees on the ranch, including the pine trees. β’ Added special content which is active during the week of Halloween: β¦ Jack-o'-lantern decor item. β¦ Albino and Melanistic ultra-rares are more likely to spawn.
Smaller Fixes
β’ Fixed particle colors when eating human food. β’ Fixed bad nav on several rocks in Dapplewood. β’ Optimized windmill and pine tree models. β’ Fixed errors when inspecting Willem or Squillem with the journal. β’ Fixed the cutscene triggering too early in the "All the Colors of the Rainbow" quest. β’ Fixed an infinite money exploit involving the Small Water Bowl item. β’ Fixed a hang when opening the roster if notes had been entered for Lucky. β’ Paths can no longer be dug up and destroyed by tilling with a dino. β’ Fixed being able to place paths in places you couldn't dig them up from (e.g. the outer ranch fences). You can now dig up these paths. β’ Fixed being able to attempt to shovel poop with a full inventory if it was on a biome tile. β’ Fixed errors after adding a flourish to the cooking pot if any of the first three inventory slots were empty. β’ Foods which provide multiple boosts are now displayed correctly in the journal and cooking UI. β’ Tweaked several dino petting poses. β’ Various small optimizations, especially on rainy days. β’ Another possible fix for the "Why Can't I Hold All These Dinos?" achievement (Xbox only).
Any bug reports π made over the weekend will be reviewed as soon as we're back in the office on Monday!
