  Update Dispatch: Project DINOZ – January Milestone

  Hello everyone! We are thrilled to announce that the January update for Project DINOZ is officially live. First off, we want to offer a sincere apology for the slight delay. Transitioning our workflow deeper into C++ proved to be a bit more "prehistoric" in scale than we initially anticipated, but the results are worth the wait. What’s New in This Build?The core architecture of the game has undergone a massive evolution. We’ve transitioned from a Blueprint-only project to a Hybrid System primarily powered by C++. This change provides better performance and a much more stable foundation for future features.New Environment: The Allosaurus Level is now open for exploration.Refinement: We’ve made balance and layout adjustments to the Raptor Level based on initial testing.The Roadmap: What’s Next?We are shifting our focus toward long-term stability. Because of this, there will be no update in February. Instead, our next major release is scheduled for April 1st.Why the gap? We’ve decided to use February and March as a "Cleanup and Polish" phase. Moving to a hybrid system left us with some "code debt" that we want to optimize now rather than later. This extra time allows us to ensure the game runs smoothly across different hardware before adding more layers.The April 1st Update will include:Two new Incident Logs: Expanding the lore and mystery of the facility.Full Crafting Implementation: The crafting system will be feature-complete and ready for use.Thank you for sticking with us through these growing pains! Your patience allows us to build a more polished, professional experience, Kroksy Media Team

  Project DINOZ: 2026 Roadmap

  Happy New Year, Survivors!As we step into 2026, we are thrilled to share the future of Project DINOZ. Our goal for this year is to increase the frequency of content while deepening the survival horror mechanics that keep you on the edge of your seat.The Monthly Incident ScheduleStarting this month, we are committing to a new content cadence. You can expect a new Incident Log on the 25th of every month, starting January 25th. Each log will expand the lore and introduce new prehistoric threats.Next Up: Incident LogOn January 25th, the forest becomes a death trap. This Incident Log features a deadly encounter with a pack of Allosaurus. These predators hunt with terrifying coordination—you aren't just being tracked; you're being herded.To survive the pack, you’ll need to master our new stealth features:The Peek Mechanic: You can now lean and peek around corners or cover. This allows you to scout the pack’s positions without fully exposing yourself to a charge.Stealth Refinement: With the Allosaurus's keen senses, every movement counts. Use the environment to stay out of their collective line of sight.New Systems & Utility ItemsWe are evolving how you survive through a brand-new Crafting System. Scavenge the environment for materials to create life-saving utility items:The Smoke Bomb (Coming Jan 25th): Specifically designed for this update, the Smoke Bomb is your best friend when the pack corners you. Deploy it to break their line of sight and vanish.The Noisemaker (Retroactive Update): We have slightly redesigned the Velociraptor Incident level to introduce this tool. Use it to lure predators away from your path or lead them into a distraction.Technical Overhaul & ImprovementsBehind the scenes, Project DINOZ has undergone a massive technical transformation:C++ Transition: We have migrated the codebase from Blueprints to C++. This provides a smoother experience and a noticeable performance boost across the board.Modular Level Design: We are moving to a modular workflow f...
