Welcome, Park Managers!

Update 9 is now available! This patch introduces 4 new animals, swimming, a new map, biome, as well as a new selection of font styles. Please send feedback and bug reports to our Discord server's appropriate channel.

The team will be working on hotfixes for Update 9 over the next few days in addition to adding a few additional animations that didn't make it into the initial release. This will be our last major update for the year, as the team will be going on a short break over the holiday period.

This release also adjusts our version numbers to better reflect our original versioning scheme, which we were too silly to follow through on. Oopsies!

Your patience this year has been greatly appreciated, and we look forward to sharing our plans for Prehistoric Kingdom with you in January's Dev Diary in 2024. For all the details on what's changed in Update 9, please be sure to read the full patch notes at the bottom of this post!

- The PK Team


Expand your kingdom's collection with 4 brand new species: Ouranosaurus, Muttaburrasaurus, Carcharodontosaurus and Spinosaurus!






Take the plunge with swimming! This new behaviour allows animals to cross rivers and explore deep water bodies by swimming across the surface.


Every species has varying degrees of water affinity, meaning that some animals like Spinosaurus frequently try to seek out water, while other species will try to avoid it all costs.

Build in the heart of the savanna with our new map set in the grassland biome. With sparse vegetation and flat terrain, this location is perfect for builders!




Adding 9 new types of plants, the grassland biome is one of our most versatile climates yet. Alongside classic trees like the Acacia, the grassland biome also comes with, well... grasses!




A collection of new styles are now available for the modular letter pieces. Coming in a range of different themes, these fonts are the perfect way to change up your park's signage.






Due to the introduction of water-based locomotion, all navmeshes will have to be regenerated! This means that upon initial load, your saved games may take longer to enter. Please resave your games once loaded in.

We have also made slope limit changes to the navmesh, so if you had animals that we were previously stuck in surprising places (e.g. rocks, roofs) you'll have to move them back down to an appropriate area.

• We will be fixing as many crashes as possible as they're reported. Please send feedback and bug reports to our Discord server's appropriate channel.
  
• Muttaburrasaurus is missing Nigel voicelines! We will be adding them next year when we do our next recording session with Nigel
  
• We’re still tuning the render distance for small objects, so some items may disappear sooner than expected

2-3 Teaser

Playtesting has been a success! We’ve managed to catch a lot of little bugs and added a bunch of other improvements. Shoutouts specifically to Gaminator, Vaian, Azura, Trollmo, boimario, and alola who have been incredibly helpful.

One specific change we recently implemented was adding Vision Cones to the Roof Turrets, just like we did to Security Bots. Playtesters felt that the cones were useful on the Security Bots and wanted something similar for Roof Turrets, and I felt the same way.

So here you go!

Showcase of Roof Turret Vision Cone.

We wanted to shout out some recent creators and streamers who’ve shown off the game!

Streamer, Playtester, and friend ItMeAzura recently did a stream showcasing Chapters 1 and 2 of Just Keep Running, and it’s a slapper! I hopped on during the stream, and It certainly helped give some cool ideas for the game. If you don’t mind Chapter 2 being spoiled, feel free to check out the Vod! (Strong language!)

5MG Games was kind enough to cover the game and posted a playthrough of Chapter 1. Give them some love!

Lastly, ASWhaler Gamer also posted a recent video playing through Chapter 1 with commentary as well, and it’s a lovely watch! Check it out and give him some love as well.

Hi everyone!

We have some great news to share: Modeler free updates will continue all throughout 2024, at no extra cost! We have renamed the app to Substance Modeler 2024 to reflect this update.

Military Conflict: Vietnam has seen significant progress in this period, though there are still ongoing efforts to address and improve various aspects of the game.

During this timeframe, we've overhauled elements such as weapons, player models, and maps for better consistency and historical accuracy.

The game has been released in its alpha state, and it's expected to remain in this early stage for the time being.

Thanks to our strong community and players, we now have a clear understanding of the direction Military Conflict: Vietnam will take. Your input has been invaluable in shaping the game's future.

Our focus moving forward is on reinforcing the core strengths of the game.

We aim to enhance both existing and upcoming maps to align with this vision. Specifically, we will concentrate on refining Deathmatch, Gun Game, Capture the Flag, and Conquest as our core game modes.

Demolition will be temporarily removed from the game due to the need for specific maps. Instead, we plan to introduce the Push game mode from Insurgency in the near future. Which will also introduce the Coop experience. When discussing maps, numerous new ones are in the pipeline, and there are plans to revamp older ones.

New voiceovers are needed to immerse players even more in the game and the deadly combat of the Vietnam War.

Addressing player retention challenges, we're implementing measures to keep both new and existing players engaged. A key addition is a progression system, allowing players to unlock weapons and cosmetics. This gives more significance to earned ribbons and ranks.

For a fresh and unique experience, we're introducing a new customization system, ensuring every player stands out. You'll be able to see and customize your player model in the main menu, and use it across any class or game mode. These changes aim to enhance player interest and make each gaming experience more personalized.

As more features release we will also introduce achievements and daily challenges that can earn specific items such as historically accurate skins.

Christmas is around the corner, and so is a significant update for Military Conflict: Vietnam, bringing new maps, weapons, along with numerous fixes and improvements.

Season's greetings and heartfelt thanks to all for your continuous support. Anticipating another year filled with both war and moments of love.

how do you do!

Fixed a bug where screenshots could not be taken!
Thank you for your help!
