Welcome back, Park Managers, to our latest Species Field Guide! 

In this series, we discuss some of the fascinating dinosaurs and reptiles you're able to care for in Jurassic World Evolution 2, including both familiar faces and some new ones, and we're really excited to be able to continue sharing and highlighting them! 
Today, we'll be looking at one of the upcoming prehistoric species joining us in the Dominion Malta Expansion, coming on December 8: Atrociraptor!



Atrociraptor, a genus of dromaeosaur theropod dinosaur, lived in the Late Cretaceous period. Perhaps unsurprisingly to anyone who watched Jurassic World Dominion, Atrociraptor's name means 'savage thief', and they are thought to have used their predominantly serrated teeth to capture - and eat - prey. 

Unlike other dromaeosaurs, Atrociraptor is distinguishable by its shorter, taller skull, giving it a boxier snout. Colouration can vary widely between individuals, as seen in Jurassic World Dominion.  




Naturally, as social animals that prefer to hunt in packs, you'll need to ensure that your Atrociraptors have company in their enclosures to ensure they don't become too aggressive or escape. As carnivores and fierce hunters, you'll also need to provide them with fresh meat to keep them happy and healthy. 

We can't wait to see you placing Atrociraptor in your enclosures, and we're sure they'll be a welcome addition. Will you be bioengineering some for your dinosaur park? Let us know, below.

Don't forget to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for all things Jurassic World Evolution 2!

It’s been a while since our last Developer blog, and we’re excited to talk about some of our achievements during the last sprint. We started working on a variety of topics ranging from the company management panel, the saving system and polishing the first vehicle model that you are all aware of and among other things, the new shiny radial menu. So, let’s dive right in!




(This image is a mock-up and not a final version of the company management panel and is subject to change during the development of Taxi Life)

The general premise for company management is something that our Train Life players might have some familiarity with, but with some functionality that has been upgraded. You’ll be able to hire/fire drivers, buy real-estate, as well as manage your finances. In Taxi Life, you’ll be able to play the game how you want, whether it’s enjoying the scenery of Barcelona or diving deep into the ins and outs of creating the ultimate transportation company.


Taxi Life has come a long way since we started writing these blogs and going back in time a little bit, the functionality of the cabin in the first vehicle was practically non-existent. Now, we have fully fleshed out the cabin and everything should be working from the back-up camera to the in-game radio as well as AC so you can stay cool in the Barcelona weather.

Another thing we wanted to talk about was the saving system. We believe it’s super important for players to have the ability to manually save the game and not rely on auto saves. You ask and you shall receive! If you have any more features that you would like to see added into the game, we encourage you to let us know in the comments!




Not only are players going to notice significant damage to their vehicles when driving erratically but also to the AI vehicles as well, adding more to the immersive nature of Taxi Life. The new and improved radial menu can help you in avoiding crashes with AI by giving you the ability to quickly interact with your car. From lowering the window down at your clients request to turning on the AC, you’ll be able to swiftly decide without moving the camera around too much. Unless you’re into that kind of gameplay. Again, the choice is yours.


Probably one of the most asked questions in the community and we’re happy to say that we completed the implementation of steering wheel support. We did some tests with the Logitech 920 steering wheel in-house, and we’re proud to say that Taxi Life will support most steering wheels on the market as well as pedals and gear shifters.


From the social media posts to the developers streams that we’re doing, it’s a true pleasure to see the community so passionate about Taxi Life. As time goes on, we’re growing our members and the general interest in the game and for that, we thank you! If you’re new here, you can check out our monthly community livestreams where we have some light conversations with our development team and share some “backstage” access to the production of Taxi Life. Usually, these streams are on a Monday @ 7PM CET. Check out our last one:



With all that in mind, we wish you guys farewell and until next time!

Hasta La Proxima,

Hi Pioneers!

Hello everyone, this is a small update in preparation to the upcoming Update 7 release from Experimental to Early Access.

If we unexpectedly broke stuff or if you have any feedback, please let us know over at our QA Site: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We read your comments every day

If you’re experiencing some major issues launching the game or very unexpected behaviour, please take a look at the “Known Issues” section as this contains some very common workarounds for those issues.

PATCH NOTES

• Made some adjustments in preparation for future updates

KNOWN ISSUES

• A reminder for people who have been having issues with unexpected crashes on startup or weird behavior with the game, in that case please try to verify your game files.
  
  You can do this on Steam by Right Clicking the game in your Library > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files...
  
  And on Epic by clicking on the three dots (“...”) next to the title or at the right side, depending on your selected library view > Verify
  
  This may or may not redownload a large amount of files which might take a while depending on your internet connection or hard drive speeds so be wary of that.

• If you are using mods, they might need to be updated or uninstalled after updating so please keep this in mind too.

• If you are experiencing issues launching the game or loading a save and you have already verified your files, you might have some incompatibility with DX12 as the default renderer, you can try the following launch options to try to force DX11, DX12 or Vulkan to run respectively.
  
  • -d3d11
    
  • -DX11
    
  • -d3d12
    
  • -DX12
    
  • -vulkan

Thanks for your support, and please continue to enjoy “DEAD OR ALIVE Xtreme Venus Vacation!”

We’re glad to be back! It’s been a while, so we’d love to remind you of some of the mechanics you can expect to come across in The Way’s full release version.



Before you can challenge the tournament’s champion, you’ll have to get through Adjutant Mirina. Her battle is a little bit different than you’re used to; this battle doesn’t feature Commanders on either side. To win, you need to eliminate all ten of the enemy’s units before they eliminate yours!



Additionally, there’s a border in the center of the battlefield. This border cannot be crossed by either party. Your units will meet in the middle, and that’s where the battle will be decided.

Adjutant Mirina’s deck consists of a combination of strong melee characters and stellar support units. She’ll attempt to make a sturdy front line to keep your units busy, while keeping her support safe from harm’s way. To come out victorious, you can try to break through their front line with sheer power, or try to snipe out her support units to weaken their melee units. If you want full points and the bonus card for this fight, you’ll need to do this with six units or less.





If the normal battle wasn’t enough for you, you can choose to challenge Adjutant Mirina again on a higher difficulty. This won’t go unrewarded either, as there’s a special support card up for grabs!

At the start of the battle, you’ll immediately notice some big changes. First off, there’s a Guardian on the enemy’s side of the field, equipped with a Veteran’s Ring. He’s supported by a Monk, ready to utilize his healing powers.

Secondly, walls have been placed on the far reaches of the border. This will help bolster the enemy’s defenses, as it’ll be easier for Adjutant Mirina to make a full front line. However, I do wonder if you’ll somehow be able to turn this disadvantage in your favor?



Finally, you can only use three units to clear this battle. Your choice of combatants will decide your fate; will you come out victorious?

Victoria 3 has now sold over 500k games since the release a little over a month ago, which makes it one of the most successful launches in Paradox history, and it's all thanks to you, our players.

To top it all off, Victoria 3 has also been nominated in the "Best Sim / Strategy" category in The Game Awards!

We're looking forward to the Victorian journey we are embarking on together with you all.
