Hello Ranchers!
We have some incredibly exciting news to share today. Because of your overwhelming support and belief in this journey, the first major content release funded by the Players' Choice Kickstarter is officially launching on April 20, 2026!
This update is a direct result of our collaboration with all of you over the past 12 months and the incredible support of our backers. When we reached our primary goal in just 48 hours, it was clear that you were ready to help us shape the evolution of Paleo Pines.
What's Arriving in this Release
The heart of this update is a dinosaur we know many of you have been waiting for: the Spinosaurus! You can now discover and befriend this magnificent new friend, featuring the first selection of colors and patterns chosen by the community.
New Discoveries:
Rare Meteor Showers: Keep an eye on the sky for this new atmospheric event.
Fallen Stars: During these showers, you can find fallen stars to craft into Dreamstones, helping you create even more homes for your dinosaurs.
Wild Apium: For the first time, you’ll be able to find Apium growing as a wild plant during your travels.
New Colors: Several existing species now have new color variations, thanks to our "Dino Color Transfer" backers.
Community Designed Decor
Your creativity is all over this update! We’ve added a substantial amount of new ranch and character decor, including multiple items designed by our Decor Designers.
For those with code access, you can look forward to:
The Spino Clothing and Decor Set
The VIP Ranch Decor Terrarium
Pride, Swamp, and Spooky themed sets
Voice of the Valley
The residents of the island have more to say, too! We have implemented new Villager Quotes created by our players, and even our resident Mysterious Cactus has some new guidance to share with you as you explore.
Thank you again for making this possible. This is only the beginning, as work on the second Players' Choice update is already underway. We can't wait to see you back on the ranch!
Aimee & the Paleo Pines Team
P.S. A special thank you to our incredible beta testers for being so amazing!
