If you could imagine yourself living life as a prehistoric dinosaur, which one would you be? Would you be an enormous, meat-eating Tyrannosaurus rex, stalking the environment in search of prey, or would you be a plant-eating, Triceratops with an attitude and fighting spirit, ready to stand your ground to survive? Picture the Earth as it existed millions of years ago, fleshed out with stunning 3D computer graphics, filled with dinosaurs and other prehistoric life -- Designed to mimic the prehistoric world in every way -- More than a game, more than a simulation -- Complete with an illustrated, informative encyclopedia to provide you with the knowledge you will most definitely need to survive, and to thrive. Surviving the savage prehistoric worlds of the Dinosaur Battlegrounds will be a challenge unlike any other, a simulation that puts the actual science of paleontology to the test, and allows you to come as close as you can to actually experiencing the our planet's prehistoric past to the best of our knowledge.
My name is Frank DeNota, and I have spent a good part of my life studying and illustrating dinosaurs, and the last twenty years doing so professionally. I've been fascinated by dinosaurs for as long as I can remember. When I was five years old, I got in trouble for covering my bedroom walls with drawings of dinosaurs. As a punishment, I had to sit and watch my father paint over my “masterpiece†stick-figure drawings. I have illustrated dinosaurs in books and magazines across the globe, but drawing dinosaurs is one of my greatest life passions even when it isn’t part of my day job. For instance, when I worked for 20th Century Fox's Blue Sky studios on feature films like “Robots†and "Ice Age", I still couldn’t wait to have free time to dedicate to creating dinosaurs. My team and I have the knowledge, experience, and most of all the passion, to make it happen. We plan to start with a prototype version of the ecosystem featuring a small selection of dinosaurs, accompanied by an interactive field guide, all illustrated with realistic, 3D dinosaur reconstructions. Everything in the game, from the shape of the T. rex body all the way down to the plant life that surrounds your epic battles, to the species of prehistoric insect that lands on your dromaeosaur’s eyelid as it pounces on its prey will all be based on real paleontology, peer reviewed research and the latest in dinosaur science.
Now, the most important piece of the puzzle: You! We hope that with your help we can generate enough interest to have a shot at tackling our dreams of completing the full, simulated game world. Our ultimate stretch goal is to put together a fully fleshed-out simulated world where you are born, live, and grow as a dinosaur of your choosing, to survive and experience the prehistoric world throughout millions of years of dinosaur evolution. However, none of this will be possible without your support and generous pledges. We believe that this will not only be an incredibly fun and entertaining experience for all ages, it will also be a valuable tool to aid in research and visualization, perhaps even the first, publicly-available simulation of prehistoric animals and their environment. Throughout the game and reference sections we plan to include a series of animated cut scenes and cinematic mini stories demonstrating dinosaurs, their anatomy, and even in their environments, wherever necessary.

MemberCompsognathusNov-18-2013 6:32 AMMe too. It is just awesome, this is the game I've been waiting for a long time. And now is truth. Guys, I fully support you, shame only I discovered it after it was fully funded... and that I have no Paypal account.
Anyway, hope you can make it.
