Hello everyone!

Unfortunately, we need to push back our Early Access release to the end of May.

In this post, we want to go over the reasons for the change of plans and also give some more details about the Deluxe Edition.

First off, the whole team here at Tamer: King of Dinosaurs wants to give a massive shout-out to our incredible community.

Our Nextfest demo was an absolute blast, and seeing that 80% positive review score, along with a massive surge in wish lists, has us absolutely hyped! It’s clear you guys are as ready for this prehistoric adventure as we are.

While we loved hearing your praise for the visuals, the cinematic cutscenes, and the BIG swing we are taking. We listened to your feedback on things we needed to fix:

-We're refining the combat mechanics and controls to ensure the moment-to-moment action feels as impactful as possible.

- We're adding additional language support for Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish.

- We're streamlining cinematic cutscenes to improve loading time.

All of the above list will be done by our originally planned launch date at the end of this month (April). However, that would leave us 0 days to do internal play testing with the build, and we don't want to launch Early Access without doing our best QA attempts. An additional 4 weeks will give us time to break the game a bunch, fix it, and then try to break it again before you guys get the chance to play it. As you all know, it's near impossible to put out a game with zero issues (especially with a team as small as ours), but we want to do our best to ensure you all have the best experience right from the get go.

The good news is that things are now progressing well! We've made a ton of improvements since the demo launched, and the differences will be clear in the final product. We just REALLY need the extra 4 weeks to make sure we go into Early Access with the least amount of bugs and the most features as possible. We appreciate you understanding and patience. We know you are all excited to play Tamer: King of Dinosaurs.

We also want to announce some details about the deluxe edition, as we've made time to make it even better!
