DINODRIFTERS Dev Diary #21: Gatemarks


Hello and welcome to another DINODRIFTERS dev diary!

Gatemarks are co-ordinates in time and space that constitute a destination in prehistory. These are the maps in which you will explore, survive and discover, either as a dinosaur or a drifter.



















Gatemarks are divided by their approximate time. These are, from oldest to most recent:

Cambrian
Ordovician
Silurian
Devonian
Carboniferous
Early Permian
Late Permian
Early Triassic
Late Triassic
Early Jurassic
Late Jurassic
Early Cretaceous
Mid Cretaceous
Late Cretaceous
Early Paleogene
Late Paleogene
Neogene
Quaternary
Present Day
Far Future (more on this to come at a later date!)

Once you've selected a time, you click on a location button on the globe. Now, due to continental shift, the locations described do not correspond to their modern locations. Instead, they are linked to their geological position.

There are going to be, at least, around 26-28 gatemarks in the game, with each time listed above having at least one map. You can find a list of them in the WORLDS button on this blog.

Next diary, I will talk about events in Dinosaur Mode and how they work in DINODRIFTERS!

Until next time!
