Here's how you can help save Mongolia's dinosaurs
almost 8 years ago – Tue, Jun 28, 2016 at 10:15:09 PM

Hey everyone!

While we work on ironing out the backer survey and other behind the scenes developments, here's a project that could really use some help. Kids in Mongolia don't have access to information or education about the amazing fossils that are just under the ground in their own back yards. We can help change that, protect world class fossils, and help secure Mongolia's national historic treasures from destruction and piracy. Go check it out!

*Important Backer Update* Shipping Prices Estimates
almost 8 years ago – Fri, Jun 24, 2016 at 09:23:34 PM

First off we would like to heavily apologize for the long delay in this update. It unfortunately took a lot longer to get all the information needed to get you guys accurate estimations on shipping prices. Without further ado, here are the current estimates.

Anywhere in the US: $6.80

In most countries outside the US: Approx. $33

Since the end of the campaign is near so not every backer might see this update, please do not update your pledges to account for shipping. You will get an invoice when your physical rewards are nearing ready for shipment.

Thank you everyone for being so patient with us!

We Did It!
almost 8 years ago – Fri, Jun 24, 2016 at 07:15:47 PM

Congratulations Everyone! We've successfully completed our Kickstarter campaign! Thank you to everyone who backed and supported us during the past 30 days. All 6,570 of you! Thanks to your generosity, we are 401% above our initial target. After Kickstarter fees and other expenses, we'll have around $200,000 to work with bringing Saurian to life. Over the course of this month, we've watched backers start to develop their own community centered around this game, and your decision to open your wallets even further with your $10 on the 20th campaign was amazing,you collectively raised nearly $10k on the 20th alone.

So what happens next? Henry is going to have milk. A lot of milk. Alejandra is going to have some tequila, and the rest of us are going to take just a few days to recover from the shock of your generosity. And then, the adventure for us launches into high gear: We start making the game in earnest. We'll be turning our Kickstarter page into another hub of our social media outreach: you'll be able to catch major updates and progress reports here, but we recommend you also check out or subscribe our Facebook, Twitch, Tumblr, Twitter and Website for even more updates on our work. We also have a Discord where you can chat with other Saurian followers and developers! In the following days and weeks, we'll be sending out Backer surveys to verify contact information, make sure you're properly credited, clarify add on backer rewards, and oh yeah, VOTE FOR NEW PLAYABLES!

Thank you Ladies and Gentlesaurs. You've made ours and your dream game a reality. We're ready to make it.

VR Support Unlocked!
almost 8 years ago – Fri, Jun 24, 2016 at 11:53:03 AM

Congratulations Ladies and Gentlesaurs, you've done it! With just over 24 hours to go, our last original stretch goal has been unlocked  We'll now be able to invest development time and resources into creating a Saurian VR experience much sooner than we would otherwise. Both Maxim and Bryan have VR devices and have already begun exploring how to make use of this new tech. We're very excited about the prospect of a Saurian VR experience being a component of museum exhibits as well as for personal home use.

OST Update: Intraspecific Combat

Francisco has been working away on Saurian's Original Sound Track (OST) all through the Kickstarter, and he's got a new track to show off:

Reward Updates

It appears there is one open slot remaining for one of Rebecca Groom's Dakotaraptor Paleoplushies, grab it while you can! We've also opened up a second batch of 10 Kickstarter exclusive skins that backers will work with our art team to create for their personal use. Again, Thank You to everyone who has supported Saurian during this campaign. We have just over a day left, lots of time to push forward!
