I think that adding babies so their life span would be longer and that players would have a stronger bond than just another thing for money and it could be and option players could turn on and off or breeding like in Zoo Tycoon for the Xbox where the dinosaurs would go somewhere and breed then one would become pregnant and give birth to a baby but this also could be a option even though they are all female the player could possibly incubate a female option or a male option
Dinosaurs Babies and Breeding
- Thread starter I dont even know
- Start date
The developers said they will not do dinosaur breeding in JWE. So I hope that in a next game this can be implemented because with a second game, we will have new mechanics and new possibilities. So we will not have male dinosaurs in Jurassic World Evolution, but this is totally possible in JWE2. If a second game is released, I believe this can happen. I agree with you
They already know people are suggesting this feature, but they stated there are no current plans for this as Jurassic World Evolution's goal is to stay true to the general lore of the Jurassic World trilogy. Plus, I see no way yet on how to make this feature truly work in-game other than for personal wants. If anything changes though, then they will announce it.
Considering the direction Jurassic World 3 is heading I have hard time believing that breeding is not a concept in it. In the Jurassic Park trilogy breeding was a major focal point, so its not like there isn't precedent in the franchise or its source material for it already.
I have discussed on numerous occasions how breeding could be implemented in the game. In particular, I have tried to take Frontier's perspective into account when discussing reasonable implementation. People who want fully fleshed 3D infant/adolescent models are out of luck, but downscaling the existing adult models for that purpose is possible Frontier already demonstrated this with the resizing of the Rex, Giga, and Spino. Additionally, dinosaurs already have to make calculations for their social needs which could be reused for identifying others of their species for breeding potential and an inherent 0.1-1% chance could be baked in by default when incubating and increased by genetically modifying your dinosaurs too much as a consequence. All they would need to do is model a nest or two, plug in some code, scale down each non-hybrid species and there you go. You wouldn't even need new male models either, the dinosaurs are so androgynous that making male models would be unnecessary. They wouldn't even require unique AI for the infants, they would just herd with their group, and adolescent scale dinos could be outright cut, it could be implemented and function without all the bells and whistles, its just that people need to get their expectations in check, a fully realized breeding system is unrealistic its simply a mountain of work for very little gain, my proposal is much easier to implement though it would still require a bit of work due to the sheer number of species.

Your proposed implementation of dinosaur breeding is smart and economical. Definitely have as the Frontier do this, dinosaur breeding can and should be implemented in the game
That's not exactly what I meant, only the basic direction for the park itself in the lore, even if this failed for the original park or "possibly" for the dinosaurs in the upcoming film.
However, this idea of yours does sound like a reasonable one that I like. Only I'm not sure how only adult models for the smaller forms can work, because it's sounds a little weird. But the whole thing is a good concept of an idea for possible in-game and balanced breeding, should something like this were to be implemented. If this concept were to be added in-game, I can also see it being a feature you can turn on or off on Isla Nublar as well.
That's the best solution. It is not necessary to create new models for babies and juveniles. Just ultilize the same design of adults and reduce them. They come out of eggs equal to adults, very small and with time they grow until they become adults.
Reptiles in general. Usually reptile babies are identical to adults, Color may vary but the babies body is identical to that of the adult, as you're a smart guy I won't need to quote examples ha ha ha

As each living being is unique, it will present certain morphological differences in relation to the parents as colors and perhaps as is the case of these crocodiles there, as the length of the snout, but these differences are so insignificant. There are exceptions to the rule. Do you know the turtle Trachemys dorbigni? The pup is identical to the adult, except for the colors. With the Tegu lizard it's the same thing. In any way the design of the babies would not affect the mechanics of breeding since the models of the dinosaurs would be the same only that of reduced size that would be properly programmed to grow until the adult stage only in the same appearance. The mechanics of breeding with 1 model Babie and juvenile model for more than 50 species in the game would be a lot of work and remarkably unfeasible, so just add three models of small, medium and large nests would be enough. That and program the size of the dinosaurs according to age. It's simpler than it looks.

They're identical, except for the colors. There may be a slight difference in the shape of the skull or other part of the body, but these differences are insignificant that they do not need to be considered. Will this affect the breeding mechanics? Hum, I don't think

Both in film and novel canon breeding was central to the first film/book in the series; however, breeding became standard fare for the subsequent Lost World and JP3 canon. The only distancing from breeding I can picture is that it hasn't thus far had a place in the Jurassic World trilogy specifically. However, with how Fallen Kingdom ended, there is almost certainly going to be some strife for coexistence with these animals in the wild. Sure, the genetic materials have propagated and some got loose, but for it to be a Jurassic World and a matter of real intrigue I am willing to bet the ending will be a tenuous acceptance that human and dinosaur must learn to live together. Breeding is necessary for such a world to exist, you can write it off as pure speculation, but where else can you go from there? Releasing them onto the mainland and not having breeding just seems pointless, then they could easily be captured and dealt with giving the film more of a crime thriller than a dino one. Seeing our protagonists chasing after Dr. Wu and gangs of organized criminals with embryos and whatnot without any serious focus on the dinosaurs would just be silly. Colin Trevorrow should be able to see this as easily as we can and clearly Universal wants the spotlight on the dinosaurs, its what makes them money, breeding is just a byproduct of what has to happen moving forward.
My proposal is a realistic implementation of breeding into JWE, it isn't the ideal by any means, but I would rather have it than not. They could also perform small tweaks if necessary like shortening the horns of some of the ceratopsids. Something that might not take a lot of additional work to implement. For the most part, I am more interested in avoiding getting people's expectations that Frontier would actually devote the resources to fully modeling infants for every species in the game, there are just too many that the work would be absurd. This could also serve as a basis, they could always improve on it in small ways in the future alongside other projects for JWE.

True, I totally agree with you, they could use the adult model, and make small modifications like reducing the Horn of the ceratopsids and shortening the crest of Hadrosaurids, and even so would not give so much work because it would just use the same Adult designs and program them to grow gradually up to adult size
Not every species would be likely to breed, I don't think they would push that angle in JW3, some of them might particularly the Compies, the big dinosaurs aren't as much of a threat to the ecosystem as those small little devils on the loose. That said, given the diversifying hands the embryos have fallen into, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the animals get loose and who is to say these other folk would take the same precautions InGen/Masrani did? After Jurassic Park I presume that they learned about the issue with the frog DNA they were using and found an alternative. However, even then it is still man's folly, like Malcolm is ever prone to say: "Life finds a way."
Regardless of what will happen in the film, it is no use to say that this is JW and not JP, wanting or not JW is just the sequel to JP and the elements should be the same. Surely all the dinosaurs in the park of Isla Nublar are females, but there is something else... And the male dinosaurs that reproduced on the island in 1993???? They are certainly savages and died in the volcanic eruption. But they are part of the history of JP. So at least in Site B mode we should have male dinosaurs and dinosaur breeding in the game, since in Isla Sorna breeding occurs naturally. We could have breeding in sandbox mode too
We need to help the Frontier with a step by step how to implement dinosaur breeding the best and easiest way possible
1-As it is very likely that JWE2 is coming, they will use the same models of adult dinosaurs of the first game, so they could create models of babies for each dinosaur since adults do not need to be made again
2-For juveniles it is not necessary to create new models, could be used the same model of adults only that programmed to be smaller and with time grow up to adult size
3-For babies and juveniles the only animations would be walking, running, sleeping, eating and drinking
4-No need to add mating animations, just an animation of the male stroking the female as in Zoo Tycoon
5-Add a dinosaur animation digging the ground to assemble the nest
6-Three simple models of nest, small for small species, medium for medium species and large for large species
If it is not possible to create babies for each species of the game, simply ultilize the same design of the adults and decrease them in size. If Planet Zoo has breeding mechanics, why JWE can not have!? This is possible in JWE, and if in this game it is not possible to implement breeding, then JWE2 can!
