Survival sandbox game The Stomping Land will soon be hitting Steam Early Access thanks to its recent Greenlight movement, developer Alex Fundora has annoucned.
Powered by Unreal Engine, the multiplayer survival sim sees players roaming a sandbox while hunting smaller dinosaurs with their bow, fishing in lakes and gathering food to outlast each day. It’s been Greenlit on Steam, with an early access trial coming on May 23 for Kickstarter backers, while non-backers can buy in from May 30 at $24.99.
The initial dinosaurs waiting to kill you or serve as your food will be the Styracosaurus, Carnotaurus, Gallimimus, Puertasaurus, Helicoprion, Ankylosaurus and Stygimoloch, with more species set to roll out over time. The Stomping Ground will launch with one environment called Capa Island, which is smaller than the game’s previously-shown Wayneth Island setting.
Players be wary though, there is no magical inventory system in this one so don't expect to place that freshly cut wood into a void of nothing, you'll have to use your arms. Items that you'll be able to craft include pole vaults, torches, traps and more, with caves littered around the map for players to take shelter in.
For more on the title, check it out in action below or through the
official website which includes a run down of the first island players will be able to explore. Jurassic Park meets DayZ is truly happening.

Occulus Rift
Unreal 4 Engine
FPS/Survival Horror
I think those three things would make a dinosaur game great.

Well, that and a first person game where you're a dinosaur, and you roam around the world being a dinosaur trying to do dinosaur stuff.

Word of TRex because no one would play a Diplodocus.

Yeah that's the whole traversal system in a nutshell. I share Joaby's enthusiasm on this, can not wait to play out Jurassic Park but in a survival aspect of DayZ.

In my imagination you'd start out as a raptor teaming up with other raptors to attack herbivores and you'd slowly unlock other dinosaurs as you play. Eventually you unlock the T-Rex, and once you beat the game as a T-Rex you can be a Human on the island full of dinos.
And then I'd release the herbivore hard-mode DLC pack.
Or I'd make you a compy at the start and you can only be a bigger dinosaur if you pay me $40 for each dino. But that's the ipad game variant.
