(When I say "dinosaurs" I'm referring to all species in-game)
Baby dinosaurs are a commonly requested feature of the game.
Before I go into how babies are born, I'll first explain their growth.
In the game, dinosaurs will have 4 stages of maturity:
Baby
Juvenile
Sub-adult
Adult
Dinosaurs would be released from the hatchery as sub-adults or juveniles, depending on the species.
They would grow to the next stage at certain age points that the developers can choose.
The developers don't need to do an animation or anything, they could have them grow up off-camera.
Each dinosaur would only need 2 models, 1 for Baby and Juvenile, and 1 for Sub-adult and Adult.
The baby model would just be made bigger for Juveniles, and the model for sub-adult would be made bigger for adult.
Babies would hatch from eggs.
Eggs would only spawn if there are at least 2 of the same species in the same enclosure.
The baby would get a random skin color and random pattern from its parents.
For carnivores, the baby would not be able to hunt until its a juvenile, so the parent would hunt for it.
