A new major update is now available for Primal Carnage: Extinction on Steam.



We've been hard at work the last few months, optimizing and improving things ahead of returning to PlayStation development this summer. This update has many features and tweaks requested by the community, ones we hope to bring across to console later as well.

Major changes include overhauling the flying classes, a new way to "Colourize" dino skins, and proper team shuffle when playing in ranked. Read on for more highlights, or scroll down to the bottom for the truly epic full changelog...

New Secondary Ability:

TUPA DIVEBOMB

Tupandactylus finally has a unique secondary ability... (It only took 7 years!)



Divebomb is a new manually triggered ability that can be performed while in flight, complementing the passive ram attack that Tupa has by providing an alternative with more control.

Gain height then tap alt-fire to initiate a divebomb, rocketing ahead in a downwards arc for up to 1.5 seconds. You can also turn left and right during this speed boost. Divebombing while at high altitude is useful as a dodge move, and it can be a good way of quickly landing on the ground. However, it does have offensive capability as well.

If a Tupa hits the ground while their divebomb ability is active, they will trigger a ground pound...



This radial shockwave deals moderate AOE damage and knockback. Anyone standing directly underneath will receive severe damage. Since a ground pound causes you to land, the Tupa can choose to cancel it before landing by tapping alt-fire again (if they are still high enough in the air).

One extra tweak for Tupa is your roar now also regenerates a chunk of stamina!

Updated Mechanic:

Pteranodon Grab Ready-up

For a long time there's been an unintentional learning curve with grabbing people as the Pteranodon. It required precise timing, initiating the grab at the right distance, and guessing how long after that point in the animation your feet would be "allowed" to latch onto a target. This made using the class's key ability overly fiddly and annoying, especially with poor ping.

This update extends Ptera's grab ability with a "ready up" option. In addition to just tapping grab when near someone, you can now also anticipate the grab by holding the secondary attack button down. While doing this your flight stance changes, claws extended in front of you, ready to grab on.



Readying up a grab makes it much easier to successfully execute the attack, but will rapidly drain your stamina. This means it's only doable for just over a second.

We'd like to say a special thanks to community animator Mr. Troodon for helping us create these new abilities for our flying classes!

Optimizations

COOKING BETTER

This update we rolled out a big change in how we package PCE's game files. Previously we shipped things in a much looser way, which meant the game took up more space than it needed to. The new method "cooks" all of the files down into compressed packages, reducing the install footprint and making things more efficient overall.

Here's some numbers:

Average install size, Version 2.7.5 ~31 GB
New install size, Version 2.8.0 ~10 GB

That's a saving of around 20 gigabytes! You should see faster loading times, with booting up the game being much quicker. Future updates will be greatly reduced in filesize as well.

Changes to Custom Map Support

The only downside to the new cooking process is that custom maps may no longer be 100% compatible with the game. That said, we will be keeping the option to subscribe to Workshop maps available and would still love to see more new levels submitted.

We are exploring the option of adding a Mapmakers Test Beta, where creators can continue play-testing custom levels. Keep in mind that some assets may not match exactly as of the next SDK release (coming soon).

We're already working with a handful of community creators to add more maps this year, and look forward to seeing what ideas people come up with for new levels in future.

Changes for Server Operators

As part of the new content optimizations, dedicated server binaries are no longer shipped with the game itself. This means hosting is a little more complicated. Community server operators need to have the official PCE Dedicated Server tool installed.

The process is the same as most other games on Steam that have a dedicated server tool.
Just follow these steps:

• Create a new folder on any place you want
  
• Download steamcmd from here and extract it in that folder.
  
• Then double click "steamcmd"
  
• Type: login anonymous
  
• Press Enter
  
• Type: app_update 336400 validate
  
• -> Done!
  

After this you can now create a simple batch file to run your server.

GENERAL GAMEPLAY CHANGES

Updated Mechanic:

Oviraptor Roar Enhancement

As a refresher - the roar ability for Oviraptor has previously let it scent out humans, revealing the outlines of enemies (to itself). We have expanded on this over time, giving Oviraptor the power to mark mines for teammates, and its ability has now been upgraded once more!



In addition to being able to mark every type of throwable now, Oviraptor's strong sense of smell can sniff out weaker humans. Enemies with good health appear in shades of grey, weaker damaged humans stand out with bold red outlines when scented.

This allows Oviraptor to focus on specific targets that might be less of a threat, useful for a weaker predator that is geared around ambushing.

New Team Shuffle

This update introduces the second part of re-engineering "rounds" for PCE. When a brand new map is loaded by the server, teams will now be shuffled so that players are re-sorted instead of maintaining the exact same team composition.

It was never our intent for teams to stay locked in place unchanging from match to match, which was a side effect of the previous update. We apologize for things being a little monotonous lately.

Team tracking is still enabled and will ensure players are swapped sides after "Round 1," but this functionality is now confined to the current map and is no longer persistent between matches. We'll be monitoring how the changes play out and keep tweaking the systems.

Tyrant Availability

Until now, when you killed a Tyrant in team deathmatch it was possible they'd be back in just a few seconds to fight you again. This often led to the same player dominating an entire match...



To combat this, there is now a cooldown in place after you lose your slot as a Tyrant in both GTTC and TDM. The same player cannot select Tyrant again after dying for a period of time. This immediately frees up that Tyrant slot for other players to have a chance as Rex / Spino / Acro, and means humans don't have to deal with the same Tyrant right away after having defeated them.

There are other more radical changes being discussed for Tyrants, which may be headed for the game in the not too distant future. Watch this space.

Spawn System Update

Having observed the results of last year's spawn system changes for several months, we decided to revert a core element we believe was responsible for what has been called "the ball of death."

Previously, the spawn system would ensure Tyrants spawned as far away as possible from humans, and vice versa. It led to humans always appearing way across the map from dinosaurs.

This spawn weighting is now removed, which has reduced the chance of allies appearing right next to each other. It still avoids placing humans next to dinosaurs, but no longer prioritizes being max distance from them, and will no longer deliberately attempt to put allies next to each other in TDM.

We have also expanded the check radius for whether an enemy is near a spawnpoint when the game decides where to place you. We feel these tweaks should greatly improve the moment to moment experience, but will be watching closely to see how they play out.

Feature Update:

COLOURIZING

We received a lot of positive feedback relating to the dinosaur colour adjuster added in the January update, but definitely heard loud and clear that the functionality was too limited and not really noticeable on certain skins. For this update, we have worked hard to totally overhaul this feature into something much more advanced...

NEW Colourizer Menu

This is a new feature of the customization area. In the Colourizer, you can now select up to 4 different colours to mix together to radically influence the look of a skin.

Specific colour buckets are used when colourizing instead of simply using a sliding scale. Each input of the Colourizer corresponds to a tonal range in the dinosaur's skin texture, differentiated from light to dark. You can equip up to 4 custom colours in different combinations when colourizing.

Try experimenting with different ratios for each layer to find the perfect blend. Layers stack on top of eachother, with the sliders controlling how much influence each layer has. As an example, to see more of Layer 2 you may need to reduce the amount of Layer 3.

With a starter palette of 32 different shades there are approximately 1,048,576 possible colour combinations when using the new Colourizer menu!

As this is part of the game's crafting system, the Colourizer requires special paint tools...

NEW Paint Tools

A limitation of the previous colour changer was that you would have to redo your custom colors every time you swapped skins out. To fix this problem, we have extended the economy/crafting systems to support Colourized Skins as a way to save your results.

Paint Buckets are a new crafting tool used when colourizing skins. These are available at a low price in-store (check out the new Tools tab). They can also be acquired as regular drops in game, and are part of both level-up awards and challenge completion bundles.



These tools are single use items which are consumed when a Colourized Skin is saved, so be certain you have the perfect combo before hitting Save Changes!

You can preview what a skin will look like with different colours even if you haven't acquired any tools. Just open the Colourizer Menu in customization, every colour is available to preview with. However, if you don't have the required tools (unobtained paint buckets are marked Not Owned) you won't be able to save it.

Finally, to craft your Colourized Skin you will need to equip a Paint Mixer.



At the end, you have a personal Colourized Skin, tailored exactly to your liking. Right now you can only colourize a skin once, but removing custom colours and recolouring recolours are on our to-do list for future updates.

(Please note that as they are Personal quality, colourized skins are non-tradable and non-marketable).

(While almost all dino skins support colourization, there are exceptions. Default items and skins that do not use the standard overlay system are unsupported).

VISUAL UPGRADES

In addition to the new Colourizer setup, we have overhauled many of our master shaders, including materials for humans, dinosaurs, weapons and more! Drink it in...

New Master Dinosaur & Flyer Shaders

Skin now has more advanced subsurface scattering and new roughness properties, reacting more realistically to the light. New eye shading allows for a greater range of colour tinting and for collar eye glow to be changed.

New Master Human Shader

Human skin shading is more realistic, with better specular highlights, light scattered naturally throughout the surface, and ambient reflectivity from certain angles. Hair shading is also improved to have more of a "sheen" to it on some characters.

New Master Weapon Shader

The biggest update is perhaps the new shading model for guns. Previously there was a sort of "brushed metal" effect that overpowered things when looking at bright lights. This has now been removed, resulting in much smoother shading across all weapons with nice highlights and subtle reflections (see the environment colour reflected on your gun!).



And the cherry on top - weapons now receive shadows if you have dynamic shadows enabled...



Some weapons even received new texture masks and resolution boosts to their base textures, including ones which never had "blank bases" before. These will be included in the next SDK release.

Lighting Updates

There have been game-wide improvements to lighting and post processing, with several maps featuring new color grading. Bloom is now more present, new environmental effects have been added and we have made an effort to optimize the maps during this process as well.



Elsewhere, there are visual flourishes such as dynamic lights emitting from spitter puddles and new projectile light effects.

MARSH MAKEOVER

Poisoned by Atrium C, half of the map is now decaying, making for a striking visual. The layout and lighting of the map has also been completely overhauled.



We hope that you enjoy this new version of an old classic!

SOUND OVERHAULS

As part of our ongoing effort to optimize the game, some of our guns have been reworked with a new sound system. Instead of spitting out dozens of separate sound cues a second, automatic weapons now use a more efficient looping setup. Previously, these guns were overwhelming the audio engine and eating up every available sound slot, essentially "stealing the voices" of other sounds in the world.

While adapting the AR, M4 and SMGs to work with this new system, their actual weapon firing sounds have also received some polishing up. The rifles in particular have a lot more punch!

The dinosaurs have received some audio tweaks here and there as well. Tupa features updated roars and the flyers both have new attack calls, plus incidental chirps and new wind sounds when flying at high speed. Elsewhere, you'll no longer hear Spinosaurus growls when attacking as Tyrannosaurus.

Store Event:

FLYER SEASON

In celebration of Tupa getting its new special ability, we're adding a collection of new Flyer items today! These brand new cosmetics include several new model mutations, a variety of new skins for both Ptera and Tupa, plus a selection of new free drops for the flying classes!


(All these and more available now!)

In addition to all the new content, we're also running a special Flyer-themed sale in-store. Grab dozens of classic skins, mutations and taunts for both Ptera and Tupa at a seriously low price!

Selectable In-Game Avatars

We've added an option to customize your in-game avatar using some of the sprays in-game by clicking the empty box near your name on the main menu. These images show up on the your profile card and the in-game spectator panel / kill cam.



You have 6 default avatar images to choose from in your inventory. More avatars will be added in future as a new type of random drop.

Player Profile

There is a new option on the main menu to "View ID Card" - this is your Player Profile, which displays data such as how much EXP exactly remains until your next level. This is a feature we will be expanding on greatly in future updates.
