One of the Most Played Demos of the Fest

FEROCIOUS was officially one of the most played demos of this Steam Next Fest, which is kind of wild. Here some stats:

  • 127,000+ demo downloads

  • 30-minute median playtime, with some playing for more than 10 hours

  • 7,600 average daily active players during the Fest

Glad to see so many are eager for more Dino games just like us hahaha!

What We’re Working On Now

We’re continuing to fix bugs and polish the experience. Some of the things on our list:

  • UI redesign

  • Audio improvements

  • Smarter enemy and dino AI

  • More meaningful progression

  • Better abilities for dinosaurs

  • Final levels and cutscenes

  • General performance and optimization

We’re still deep in development, but this Fest helped us a lot, not just with visibility, but with seeing what works and what doesn’t. The release is in sight, so we will work on perfecting the game until the last moment. Thank you for the support and stay tuned for more updates soon.

See you on the Island!
