Okay, so we’ve got that fan remake of Dino Crisis still being worked on, but you still want more dinosaur horror? Jaw Drop Games is looking to fill that void with their own dino survival horror game called Deathground, which just launched its Kickstarter, but also has a Steam page.
The UK-based team, who are “passionate dinosaur and horror fans” and made up of industry veterans, are currently asking for around 80K GBP to complete the project. Deathground is focused on squad-based and solo gameplay, along with “unpredictable” dino AI that will “hunt you down, influence decision-making and drive a tailored experience.” Judging from the screenshots and gifs, the game definitely evokes survival horror elements (including an Aliens-style motion tracker!), while sporting some great graphics.
Jaw Drop Games also state that the game’s community will “have an active role in helping to shape the game experience”, as well as “an emphasis on player feedback”. As with these Kickstarters, there are several backer levels, depending on your contribution, as well as stretch goals.
The team seems to have laid out a comprehensive plan, including a timeframe that includes a Q3 2021 Early Access release on Steam. So obviously, if you want to see this come to fruition (as Capcom doesn’t seem to want to resurrect Dino Crisis anytime soon), then check these guys out.
