| Dev Diary - October 2025 | 2025-10-22 | Hey hunters, Continuing the celebration of WotG! As well as fitting with the anniversary of the discovery of T.Rex, Wrath of the Goliath's T.Rex got a fresh new look. Slimmer proportions, but fret not. As we TLC the various dinosaurs, some older renditions will go and some will stay. I am looking to keep the original T.Rex in-game in some capacity, but only time will tell if that will work out. For now, enjoy this sneak peak! It is already actively being implemented in-game and I can't wait to share that with you all! * Please note, the pattern and color are not final. Bye for now! |
