Improvements to Evolution
Dear Frontier,
Thank you so much for making Jurassic World Evolution and allowing us Jurassic fans to experience and build the Jurassic Park of our dreams. To all the developers at Frontier, I wish to say you did a great job. Though the game can, should, and must improve upon the basis that has been set and strive for very great things. With this said below are my suggestions for things that I believe will make the game great and truly stand out as the definitive Jurassic Park/World game that will inspire so many and keep us fans coming back for so long to play this game, and eventually and hopefully see another Jurassic World Evolution game within the future that improves upon all that will have been done to this game. Without further adieu here are my suggestions:
Landscape: (*One of the most important improvements)
-More Ground Brushes (Ground, Rocky, Mountain, Mud, Sand, Swamp, Marsh, Desert, etc.)
-Larger and More Brush Sizes (Smaller brushes than the smallest we have currently and also bigger ones than the biggest we have currently)
-More Varied Tree Variety (Pine Forest Trees (Bit like in the T-Rex Kingdom); Jungle Trees (Tropical jungle, Rain forest jungle, etc.); Swamp/Marsh Trees (Mangroves and some similar plants); Deciduous (Trees you see in European forests with oaks, birch, etc.) Desert Trees (Desert Willow, Hyphaene thebaica, etc.).
-More Varied Shrub/Grass/Small Plant Variety (Shrubs (Little berry-like shrubs, etc.); High Grass (Just high grass); Flower Plain (High grass mixed with some flowers); Dead shrubs (Dead shrubs); Swamp (Canes, lily paths, ferns, etc.)
-Deeper water (Giving each level (1-6) a number and dino's like Gallimimus won't enter water lv. 4-6 because it's too deep. For dinosaurs that swim like Suchomimus or Spinosaurus you could add some animations these dinosaurs will swim on lv. 6 but walk on 1-4 for example. When you landscape water there will be certain depths (for example from 1m - 5m deep) will be 1 and from 5m - 10m will be 2. Should you make a DLC with aquatic creatures then you could expand 1-6 to 1-20. Credit to DionSmile).
Dinosaur Behavior:
-Sleeping animation
-Pack Hunting animations (Velociraptors and Deinoychus should be able coordinate with their own species to hunt a dinosaur as well as attack it together and kill it, like jumping on its back and slashing at it, etc.)
-Herding animations
-Fighting animations (Territorial fights, Fights for Dominance (To establish pack leader), Regular fights (Such as currently which the dinosaurs try to kill each other), etc.)
-More Socializing animations (Not just making a circle like it is currently in the game)
-Grazing animations
-Other animations (You decide what other ones as well)
Dinosaur Creation:
-Iconic movie skins (JP Velociraptor skin, Lost World Bull T-Rex Skin, etc.)
-More varied skins (Similar to the ones in the game in general, etc.)
-More gene modifications
-Modifications do more than just raise stats (Affect their behaviors/instincts as well. For example the aggressive instincts gene not only should boost the attack stat a lot but also make the dinosaur more prone to attacking other dinosaurs and wanting to hunt more often.)
Times of Day:
-More times of day (Currently there is only day, dusk and night. Could you implement a time of day such as was shown in the reveal trailer for the game where it was morning and there was very light fog).
Island:
-Larger spaces to build (Newer and larger islands way bigger than Nublar)
Other Suggestions:
-Can you make the Indominus Rex be able to camouflage as currently, besides its looks of being a hybrid, it doesn't really stand out as much as in the movies as being this all-impressive hybrid. I thought by giving it an ability to camouflage like it did in the movie the Indominus Rex could truly resemble its movie like form or at least close to it but also by having the ability to camouflage it could stand out from all the other dinosaurs in the game besides just its looks and sounds. (Note: By having this camouflage ability like it did in the movie it could add an extra layer of danger to contain it as it could disappear from you sometimes and when you physically try to look for it you can't until it gets out of camouflage or you can still see it if you open up the map as the its icon will show where its located. Can't make it too difficult)
Security:
-Larger and smaller fences
-More varied fence types (If you can think of any.)
-ACU Helicopter can shoot live ammunition (Using sniper rifles or assault rifles)
Decorations:
-Flags
-Signs (Paddock signs, Map signs)
-Fountains
I tried to be all inclusive with ideas I believe as well as the community would believe are important to add to the game. I would rank in terms of importance the suggestions from most to least as the following: 1) Landscape, 2) Dinosaur Behavior, 3) Dinosaur Creation, 4) Island, 5) Times of Day, 6) Security, 7) Other Suggestions, and 8) Decorations.
I hope you take my suggestions into consideration and to heart and help make this game what it truly should and will be, the definitive Jurassic Park/World game. I look forward for your continued support and work in this game alongside us Jurassic fans. I again say keep up the tremendous and difficult, but great, work you have embarked on with Jurassic World Evolution.
Sincerely,
IndominusSun
