Bump!  In case anyone hasn't seen it yet, Rainseeker and Toady have put together the Animal Sponsorship Drive.  Donate and choose which animal you want to get included in the game!  It's not part of the Ark Project, but it's in a similar spirit.

Hey not sure if this is still active or has just moved onto differnet thread but anyway.  I'm interested in helping.  Is there anything that I can help generate either art or try my hand at writing raws.   I will likely start with venemous snakes if no one else has started them.  Also if needed i can help generate a lot of prehistoric creatures, because im a paleo student and got acess to data and can get up close with some specimens.

Unfortunately now that I found out that the Template creatures need to be made manually... it means that this entire project would need double the entries.

I probably missed it when skimming over the older posts but is there a location where everyone who has been working on the project has put their stuff whether it be completed or partial.

Noticed that conger eels are down as freshwater fish.  They should be saltwater as far as I am aware.

2-year necro...

[MODcrazy]

Do you want to provoke somebody?
Or to get attention on... MODDING creatures in again?
If the second thing is the case, I would be glad to revive this thread and the project, but only when the new version has come out. I do NOT plan on doing something for a soon outdated version.

Oh sorry Putnam, I initially thought YOU were necroing the topic ... anyways, doesn't matter, forget what I said. I will probalby start my OWN Creature thread.

(Call me Mr Necromancer!)

If I haven't said so before, I just want to mention that you're welcome to use anything you want from my Multitudinous Vermin postings, on the Forum, for the Ark Project. I think there's a few couple thousand different Vermin-type animals on there, and some others as well.
I'm not sure how many... Lots! They're not finished, but a lot of the set-up work has already been accomplished.

3-year necro...

And also, I think you can treat a project that hasn't had any productive posting in 5 years to be dead.

[SirHoneyBadger]

I might just have to Frankenstein it, then. There's plenty of good information here that can be recycled...

Apparently, there were technical issues that caused work on it to be halted, "temporarily", while the game itself was being updated. Between then and now, lack of anything to work on, or to actively support; caused the project to wither on the vine.

Does anyone happen to know if those original problems were ever addressed, whatever they were?

As far as necroing goes, although it can be annoying when people dredge up old forgotten arguments that have no real bearing on current events; it's not always a universally-terrible practice, and it can actually have a lot of benefits.

In part, it helps keep these boards from becoming ever more cluttered, while preserving still-pertinent comments and perspectives. In the case of mods, of course, it keeps intact all the time, hard work, and creativity that have been put into such a project. Particularly, such an enormous and potentially-useful
resource as this mod is. It would be a shame to just waste it...

I'm pretty sure what caused it to die was the actual inclusion of a crapton of new creatures due to the sponsorship drive.

[SirHoneyBadger]

Oh yeah...I think you're probably right, Putnam.

Well, in a way that's good, because we still ended up with lots of new animals.
