Dinolords Weekly Show and Tell 10/04/26
Hello! Welcome back, or, welcome for the first time ? To the Dinolords Weekly show & Tell!
The weekly podcas... I mean podca.. Post. Blog post! where we show you what's going on behind the scenes on Dinolords.
I've been very excited to share some of these things we have for you this week and there's a lot, so let's get right into it.
...And yes, I'll completely ignore the last weeks Aprils Fool/Show & Tell 😅
We're starting out with looking at levels and - while we don't have a new one to show today, we have an overview of several old ones. Work has been put into optimising these, using some new tools, which has resulted in level sizes being reduced by half!
In the art world we have the final look at our Viking T-Rex Barding and it turned out pretty badass.
There are sockets for spears for the Viking Dinolord to use, and Rings with Chains on it that are used as reins to control the massive beast.
There's a reason the Vikings call it the sapwn of Jormungandr - The world Serpent
On the tooling side of things, work is being done on hooking up changes from spreadsheets automatically into the game. This will save a ton of time and the best picture i can get you is the following:
Stuff like this makes game development so much better. I don't even have a joke about it.
On a completely different note. In the "marketing world" we have started posting short form "in world" shorts posted over on TikTok to make more people aware of the game. It's just Small fun narrations about the world from the POV of a character in Dinolords. You can check out one of them below.
The more you deepen your voice the more Dinolord you become
Circling around and coming back to art, work is being done on a new Viking unit. The Vǫlva is a support unit, and I'm going to hold off on the details because some things are still in flux, but we wanted to share the current progress on the 3d model alongside the concept art
Still a few changes to be made but it's coming along nicely
Staying in art, more buildings being prepared for construction and destruction. This process also means that we get a bunch of cool new interiors to look at.
I feel like I could get a solid echo going in there.
While here, as a last thing, we want to show off the building construction we are doing.
You place down a building construction site, which comes with a foundation, along with scaffolding and then the building is constructed in pieces that then move into place.
If construction is interrupted, existing pieces will continue to move but new pieces are not added. Here's a 200 percent sped up version of what that might look like on the Outpost.
That's all for this week ! Thank you so much for following along and spending time with us here on the Dinolords Reddit(Or in our Discord where these are also posted).
As always, let us know what you think aaaand....
Happy Dinopen Construction
