Sadly, its pretty sure confirmed that breeding and juveniles dinosaurs will be not in the game.
It's a shame ... I don't think I would buy the game in this case.
At last if baby dinosaurs get out of incubation that can be a thing but it's cleary that feature will not happen to.
I wouldn't be surprised if there won't be any growth stages like juveniles or something. With 75 dinos, and likely more to come, that's an insanely huge amount of models, rigs, meshes, etc. in comparison, especially more work must've been done on not only the dinos (including the non dinos), but on everything else as well. Budgets and time are a huge thing in the industry, you know. And the only reason why indies were able to do this is because they aren't as "restricted" with what they have as AAA teams like Frontier are, despite given just a few extra more months for this game. And Planet Zoo accomplished breeding and growth stages because things were different in comparison.
The general interpretation of this response is that juveniles aren't a thing, however another interpretation is that they are a thing, but can't be made in a lab.
I'd like some clarification, if possible (it is the sort of band-aid that's good to rip off early, even if it might seem obvious).
If Frontier can do it with PZ so they can do it with Evo..
They said juveniles won’t be bioengineered. It’s open to interpretation. On the one hand, in context they answered a question about baby dinos and breeding negatively. On the other hand, my interpretation of what they actually said is that creation labs won’t spawn baby dinos and they ignored the second half of the question (PR 101: when you don’t want to answer the question, answer the question you wished they asked.) They did breeding in Planet Zoo, their primary competition will have breeding, the lore had breeding even before JPOG, everybody wants breeding, so theyd be dumb not to have it; but it’s better for us to curb our expectations good or bad.
To satisfy most people it doesn't need to be for all species, it could be specific wild breeding variants for a select few. Anything close to a full ontogeny also isn't really an expectation.
Honestly none of this makes sense. PZ has breeding mechanics and is a very complex game in several aspects. PZ has over 90 different species and they all have a baby version and adult male version. Breeding is not coming to the game simply because they don't want to do or Universal Studios is restricting or waiting to authorize it. To say that JWE2 has many species to implement breeding mechanics is not a justification. They were able to implement this in PZ, which has many more species than JWE2. They are not unable to bring breeding to the game. I'm going to say it again, either Universal Studios is restricting, or Frontier itself will wait for the release to implement this feature. They know very well that many players ask for this feature, and this is not recent. Since the beginning of JWE1 breeding is a requested feature. I recognize that JWE2 is a very good game and developers deserve recognition and respect! I say it from the heart! But that breeding is still a feature to be considered, this remains true. And I sincerely hope that this can be implemented in the future, even more so that the entire game itself has received a performance upgrade
That is why I tried to say with Planet Zoo, circumstances were different with it. And it's not only from a business perspective, but a technical perspective as well, all together. Just because one game with things in common did it, doesn't always mean the other can or should, even if it's something frequently talked about on social media.
We'll have more to share about dinosaur management very soon, but as it says in the tweet you will be bio-engineering dinosaurs, but this doesn't include juveniles.
No. There will be no breeding and juveniles (or according to your question babies) as wellDoes that means that still we have a chance to see babys?
