Water Toys
Dinos love toys! We figured why not let all the dinosaurs enjoy playing with water toys. Therefore all our news toys can be enjoyed by dinos on land and monsters in the sea.
Hats
I suppose our logic about Water Toys also applies to Hats. Real talk – I find the 6 new hats so freakingly hilarious on the Theropods I had to make them available to all. If this game isn’t about the joys of life then what is ya know?
Experimental Controller support
Finally! For those who like to lounge back and play Parkasaurus with a controller, now you can. Why do we call it “experimental”? Wellll, because there might be a few hiccups still. The cursor now becomes center screen locked which makes building and movement in the game much easier. In fact, I find myself faster in a lot of aspects of the game when using the controller
Quality of Life
A few notable quality of life additions in this Sea Monsters update:
UI goes to 125%
Yes – we were aware for quite a while the UI could be difficult for some people to read. I just wanted to make a quick note here; if increasing UI size was easy we of course would have done it a long time ago. The reality is that for a game like ours, increasing UI is a really tough feature; languages break, UI breaks, and this requires weeks of testing on our part. Of course, we love our community and you’re all worth it! Just that there are only two of us so we sometimes can’t fix everything, or fix it right away.
Reduced GPU Usage when V-Sync is off
You either get this or you don’t. For most players this was a non-factor, but for the few that had V-Sync off the game really put stress on your poor machines. Fixed!
Max people park 300 to 600
We had limited the number of guests in the park mainly because the game came to a crashing halt performance-wise if we went above the 300 number Well, we overhauled the animation system of our guests so everyone gets into the park. This very well might break the game in a way we have not thought of soooo..
Improved Performance
Remember when Parkasaurus became available on the Switch? (we are available on the Switch!). Well, we opened the hood of the game and cleaned up our wires a little which resulted in a nice performance boost for PC. Enjoy!
DLC Available
Of course - there also is DLC available here that introduces aquatic exhibits and sea monsters. More about this later this week.
