Their powerful legs mean they can launch into their attacks too. They’re strong enough to lift you off of the ground, bite your head off and then some. WIP animations of our Utahraptor’s killing players with just one bite.Īs you can see, it’ll take just one Utahraptor to kill a player. Here are a couple more work-in-progress animations of what our Utahraptor could behave like if you dare to freeze in a moment of panic…

The rule of “Don’t play with your food” does not apply to Deathground’s dinosaurs. And for all of you survival-horror fans, we want the experience to be as thrilling and terrifying as possible when those moments arrive.

Remember that dino texture teaser we gave you last month? Well, here are a couple more teasers to keep you going. When you’re in the darkest areas of Deathground, you may not always see what’s coming and you’ll most certainly never be alone. Regardless of whether you’re surviving indoors or out in the elements, we’re crafting a dark map for you to play in. Waterfalls and rivers will also carve through Deathground. We’ve planted Gnetophyta and Asteroxylon, from the Cretaceous period, in Deathground’s terrain. Some of you may even spot plantlife from a different time. There’s life beyond the fauna that will surround you. From the mud and dirt in the terrain to the peculiar plants sprouting up from the embankments or dangling down from high trees. There’s a lot of detail hidden beneath the darkness, especially in this dense jungle, now teeming with life and art textures. You’ll have a torch as well as moonlight, should your game objectives lead you to venture outside.Ī lamp-lit pathway cutting through the jungle terrain. There’ll be lamps lining some pathways, there may even be firelight. Of course, we’re not suggesting that you’ll be playing blindly through the dark. Have we told you that Deathground will be in a night-time setting? It can be difficult for humans to see in the dark and that will be no different for you as a player in Deathground.

As well as developing our dinosaurs and playable characters, our 3D artists have also been busy dressing up Deathground’s environments in-engine.
