"Forgotten Memories: A Promising Demo Release"

Forgotten Memories - Mid Night Toker

Hello and thank you for trying our game, Forgotten Memories. We are a small team of four student developers who recently graduated on June 2, 2023. We are thrilled to release the demo you see now and are fully committed to further developing the game by addressing any bugs, issues, or game-breaking events that may arise.

To help us in this endeavor, we kindly request that you report any problems you encounter or provide feedback via our community page. We sincerely appreciate your time and patience as we work on turning the game into a fully playable experience, complete with all the features and enhancements we originally planned but had to prioritize due to our graduation release deadline.

Please understand that the current version is more of an early release, and with your continued support and a bit of time, we can create the enjoyable game we all envisioned. We value all feedback from our players and supporters, and we assure you that each comment will be carefully reviewed and considered. Our goal is to create the best possible gaming experience for you.

Thank you once again for your support and for being part of Team Xodius.

Animal & Hunting Update

RivenWorld: The First Era - gamefocal

Hello Lords and Ladies!

We're excited to announce the release of our Animal & Hunting Update for RivenWorld! We've been working on this for the past month and are so excited to get your feedback on the newly added animals in the world.

Aggresive Animals

Bear - Spawn near points of interest around the world, they do not like to travel to far away from there location, so if aggroed, they will lose interest quicker.
Boar - Very aggressive and territorial animals that spawn in forested areas around the world. If aggroed they will chase you for a longer distance.

Passive Animals

Deer - Spawn randomly around the map and are a great source of food and leather.
Doe - Spawn randomly around the map and are a great source of food and leather.
Rabbit - Spawn randomly around the map and are a great source of food and leather.

Leather & Leather Working

Gather hide from animals by using a sword, once you have the hide you can dry it in our new drying station.

Bow & Fletcher Station

Find bird nests around the world, and collect feathers. These feathers can be used to craft arrows to use with your bow.

New Combat System

We removed the old combat system and added a new combat system that has combos & heavy attacks. We're hoping this will help combat play better without the need to select a different attack angle.

New Throne & King Area

After watching how players played as King within RivenWorld we decided to remove the pre-fab castle and allow players to build their castle and keep. Once you claim the throne, you can build your own castle on top of the king's mountain. This will play into a future update for siege equipment and dark-age machines.

New Movement & Animations

We've overhauled the animation system to improve all our movement, combat and other animations found in RivenWorld.

What is next?

We plan on working on aggressive mobs at night and a farming system for crops and plants. We aim to have mobs and farming in RivenWorld before the end of June. We believe adding mobs and agriculture will significantly enhance the gameplay of RivenWorld and help add more immersion to the world we're creating.

Community Crunch 364: Happy 8th Anniversary, Fasolasuchus Concept, and More!

ARK: Survival Evolved - ARK: Survival Evolved

Download in full resolution

From the very inception of ARK, we were amazed by the passionate and dedicated community that quickly formed around the game. Your enthusiasm, unwavering support, and invaluable feedback through thick and thin, and ups and downs, have played a pivotal role in shaping the ARK experience we know today.

We'd also like to acknowledge the exceptional talents that comprise our team, who pour their hearts and passion into every facet of their craft. It is their boundless creativity that has brought our game to life and fuelled its continued evolution.

As we stand at the threshold of new horizons in the ARK universe, we fondly reflect on the journey we've shared over eight remarkable years. Rest assured though, the ARK adventure is far from over. ARK: Survival Ascended, ARK: The Animated Series, and ARK 2 await!

Thank you, Survivors, here's to the years to come!

Discover the Rhyniognatha, a super-sized creature with a set of unique abilities. From producing quick-hardening resin to being capable of carrying large objects around your base, these versatile creatures provide an unparalleled enhancement to your tribe's defenses.

The Rhyniognatha has landed on The Island and Lost Island! We are overcome with excitement but also nostalgia as we welcome our last and final creature to ARK: Survival Evolved.

As you might have already noticed, we made a few changes to Rhyniognatha since you last saw the dossier. You won't need to slay Arthropleuras to gain its TEK-disruptive ability, and it can now stick itself to creatures or cargo and carry things around your base! You can check out the updates below:

Let's dive into the second installment of our thrilling community voting contest - a fan-voted real-world creature that will launch with Ragnarok for ARK: Survival Ascended.

Please note that this creature will be released for Ragnarok, so make sure your real-world submissions are in theme with that map! As previously stated, we’ll be adding an additional real-world creature for each expansion pack map release on ARK: Survival Ascended.

Check out the Creature Submission Guidelines for more information on the submission process, and hop over to the Creature Submission Forum to see the current entries. The entry period will end at 1 PM Pacific on June 12th, so don't wait - get your ideas in. We are looking forward to seeing your ideas come to life!
