So cross play is going to just be a mod ? Or is it going to be on the official network ?

THE BEAUTIFUL BOI I FUNDED FOR ARK ADDITIONS LOOKS SO GOOD!!

If Gorgonops doesn’t win just add it to the game at this point lol. It’s the most reoccurring creature, there’s obviously a popular base for it, and it’s taking up a slot of something we haven’t potentially seen before. 

Another week another bout of disappointment . Thx guys 👍

Read again, slowly this time.

A screenshot of ASA

Thanks god

Its only remain the animated series 

No Shasta Saddle? wow! 🤔

My quote didn't take, but this was meant for you.

Very simple, hopefully WC is learning... maybe next Friday we can get a solid date? Or some actual footage? I'm kind of actually speechless surprised really

WHERE IS SHASTASAURS INTRODUCTING?!!!!

The mod preview screenshot is neat and all but it doesn’t change the fact that no one knows how well the game or even just the creature in Asa will operate until you show the damn game in action. A pretty potential tame means nothing if your consumer doesn’t know if the sheer act of moving makes it do a dying ankylo

Alright, that looks gorgeous. This is very good y'all. Exciting to finally see some beautiful screen shots from the game. YEEESSSS

Yet another pointless crunch.

then your not geting to play asa then 

 

OMG, That Deinotherium looks so good!!!! Garuga, You are doing Amazing work on your creatures!!!! It looks realistic enough that I could touch it!!! This gets me all the more excited for ASA!! If Garugas look like that, I can’t wait to see what some of the non modded creatures will look!!!!!

Any communication with the rest of the modding community would be greatly appreciated. The rest of us would love to get started modding for ASA ASAP. It kind of sucks that a select few modders have such a head start,  already having the devkit and we haven’t received any updates on when it might be available for the rest of us. 

Hey just a small request. 
do you guys think we could get a unique boss for the center,Ragnarok and Valguero. Those are some of the maps that have legions of fans behind them but always feel a bit anticlimactic for me since there guardians are all repeats from other maps. 
you could make a shastasaurus boss on the center with its own underwater arena, a griffin/ gigantoraptor boss in Ragnarok and finally a deinonychus/(future C.V winner) in valguero

Well its not the peek at ASA I was hoping for, but DAMN does Dienotherium look GREAT in UE5! it really helps paint a picture for what official creatures will look like!

So no trailer yet cool

 

can we turn on events for ase. I want to fight the dodowyvern on my unofficial

so version number for the devkit doesn't mean much

OK - I did not know that ... Thanks

So it’s coming out at the end of October. There I said it.
