The holiday season might not come with a DevBlog, but don’t fret, this latest patch is packed with goodies that will keep your dino adventures thriving! It’s been a wild ride this year, and as we gear up for what 2025 holds for The Isle, let’s dive into the details of this new update that just hit the EVRIMA Public Branch.
The dev team extends their heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in the recent Hordetest. Now, let’s get to what you want: the juicy bits of Patch 0.18.105.
-
- New Playable Species: Added maiasaura, because who doesn’t love a good herbivore? They’re like the gentle giants of the dino world.
- Culinary Adventure: You can now forage gastroliths on gravel, bon appétit!
- Team Dynamics: Officers have joined groups, enabling you to promote/demote leaders like it’s an episode of your favorite reality show.
- Anatomy Updates: High/low grab animations for herbivores have been introduced; no more awkward moments when trying to snack while standing tall!
- Aerial Adjustments: Animals can now be staggered while flying, good luck dodging those aerial attacks!
- Sonic Tweaks: Fixed sound attenuation during ceratosaurus’s charge attack; prepare for some serious roars without ear-piercing surprises.
- Cinematic Enhancements: Updated leg fracture animations across several species, adding that extra layer of realism…or horror?
- Nesting Issues Resolved: A host of fixes around courtship mechanics and hatchling group management ensure smoother gameplay for all aspiring dinosaur parents.
This extensive also tackles plenty of pesky bugs lurking around like unwanted party guests after a long night out. From fixing audio issues to improving animation glitches, it seems no stone has been left unturned (or rock unbroken). Remember that feeling when you finally defeat a boss after countless attempts? That’s how I feel about these fixes!
If you’re anything like me, a passionate explorer constantly searching for adventure—you’ll appreciate how these updates make exploring The Isle‘s sprawling landscapes even more immersive (though I’m still waiting on my pet velociraptor!). So grab your controller or keyboard, jump back into the fray, and enjoy everything this patch has brought.
