From yesterday's VIP early access launch we're already at a whopping 75% FUNDED!
The climb isn't over yet though! We still have some way to go if we want to fly past our stretch goals!
Our team are here to answer any questions you might have - so feel free to chuck em at us and check out the FAQ section on the Kickstarter!
You can support our Kickstarter here! www.kickstarter.com/projects/paleopines/paleo-pines-players-choice
Prices are displayed in GBP, and payment will only be taken at the end of the campaign provided it is successful!
Lots of love,
The Paleo Pines Team
Make a note in your calendars folks, Paleo Pines Players' Choice Kickstarter is going live on the 1st of July!
For those of you who've never used Kickstarter before, payments are only taken at the end of the campaign if the campaign is successful.
We know we've been hammering on about this, but we want to make sure that no one who wants to help support the future of Paleo Pines misses out on this chance
We're truly hopeful that with your help, we'll be able to add some of our players' most repeated requests to Paleo Pines, starting with our main goal: The Spinosaurus!
If we hit that goal, we're prepared with our first stretch goal: Poop. It's a lot, we know- When you've got one of those end-game ranches with every dreamstone assigned to a dino, it's a chore that seems to never end... Unless we clear our main goal, and hit this stretch goal, anyway!
And finally for this little update, our VIP Programme to go along with our Kickstarter is now closed for new VIPs! Existing members will continue to get all the perks they signed up for
Lots of love,
The Paleo Pines Team
So we've hinted quite a bit with this one, but just in case you weren't sure We would like to address the elephant in the room, or well the spino in the room
GASP!THAT'S RIGHT! We're so excited to announce that if our Kickstarter is funded, we'll be bringing our Spinosaurus home to Paleo Pines (and adding a way to get more of those lovely dreamstones )
Follow our Kickstarter here (or by searching for Paleo Pines on Kickstarter) to be alerted when it goes live!
Keep an eye out for more details to come
Lots of love,
The Paleo Pines Team
Image text reads: "Let's get the Spino in the game!
You've been asking for the mighty Spinosaurus for some time now, and they can't wait to meet you!
This goal includes significant optimisation across the entire game to allow the new features to run smoothly!
Plus, another dino means more dreamstones! Yep you read that correctly, we're adding more dreamstones too!
This is our main goal with the Kickstarter, but we have tons of stretch goals coming up!"

You've asked, you've dreamed, and you've inspired us every step of the way! Now, we're thrilled to announce that at Paleo Pines Kickstarter, driven directly by YOUR incredible ideas and requests, is officially on its way!
We know you've been eager for more biomes, new dinos, and exciting gameplay. But, getting new content off the ground in today's games industry is incredibly tough. Despite all the love for Paleo Pines, securing traditional funding for a big expansion proved to be a monumental challenge. While Paleo Pines has been incredibly popular, the financial benefits haven't trickled down to the studio in a way that supports ambitious new development due to the industry standard publisher-studio model.
That's why we're turning to our amazing community who made Paleo Pines what it is! This expansion is for you, and with your support, we can make it a reality. Plus, in a true reflection of the spirit of Paleo Pines, the expansion pack will be released free on all platforms when completed.
We're gearing up to launch our Kickstarter campaign soon, but we need your help to build unstoppable momentum right now!
We've just launched our early Kickstarter Pre-Launch Page, and we need every single Rancher to follow it!
Click here to follow our pre-launch page and help us bring this expansion to life!
By clicking "Notify me on Launch," you'll be the first to know when the campaign goes live, AND it sends a massive signal to Kickstarter that there's huge interest!
Can't back financially? NO PROBLEM! Your support is still vital! Please still follow the Pre-Launch Page and SHARE our social posts far and wide! Tell your friends, family, fellow dino-lovers anyone you can think of! Every share helps us reach more people and makes a monumental difference in helping us hit our goal!
Your support means the world to us.
Lots of Love, The Paleo Pines Team
P.S- You can check out our lovely trailer on Youtube!
Hi everyone! I just wanted to give you a quick but important update on our upcoming Kickstarter and our roadmap in general. We're experiencing a delay in launching the campaign as we're currently in ongoing discussions with our publisher to finalise details around the campaign that will require their support. Our aim is to secure their full support to ensure we can deliver on all the exciting additions we've got planned for the game but this is taking longer than originally anticipated. We believe in being completely transparent with you all, and we want you to know that we're working hard on our end to move these discussions forward as quickly as possible. On a related note, we know many of you are eager for the plushie duo! While we're incredibly excited for you to see them, we've decided to prioritize the Kickstarter campaign to give it our complete focus. This means the plushie duo release will be delayed and is now expected in August. Thanks for your understanding and continued support

We've also designed a selection of limited edition merch to go along with the festival, which you can check out here if you're interested!
What's YOUR collector style? Do you prefer to befriend dinos of a specific colour? Got a ranch full of desmatosuchus? We want to know!
We are delighted to be able to finally open up the very first stage of our fundraising campaign - our VIP programme. As so many of you know, we are going to be launching a Kickstarter to fund new content in Paleo Pines. The very first step towards this campaign is now live and youre able to become a Paleo Pines VIP for $1 (set as low as possible to keep it accessible to everyone!). What IS the VIP Programme? Youre probably wondering what exactly is the VIP programme? Well let us explain! This is a space where well be sharing exclusive behind the scenes content, where youll get to chat directly with our team, and have priority access to limited edition rewards before anyone else! Not to mention you will receive a unique in-game item that is ONLY available to VIP members! Plus a fancy VIP role on our Discord server, and access to a VIP ONLY Facebook group! Using this VIP membership is a tried and tested technique for us to build up a community around the campaign in the hopes of achieving as many of our goals as possible. Its typically used pre-campaigns as a way of validating interest. We KNOW theres a lot of interest from you guys, so at first it didn't seem necessary for us to have a VIP programme, but after thinking about it a little more we fell in love with the idea of hosting an exclusive special place to talk all things Kickstarter with you - plus this is a fun way to thank you for your early commitment for the campaign! Were calling the extension pack Paleo Pines: Players Choice because everything were planning on offering is based on what youve asked for over the years and its with your support that we will make it happen! So we would be honoured if you would join us today! play.paleopines.com FAQs
Howdy Ranchers!
We have a tiny wee update today, say hello to Paleo Pines version 1.5.17!
Image text will be transcribed below
There's only one notable fix in version 1.5.17, and we want to extend (and encourage!) a huge thanks to our former Tech Lead, Rob, for taking the time to get this particular bug fixed for us.
Howdy folks!
Can you believe it's already April?! Our little team has been super busy getting ready for our Kickstarter, we're launching our VIP program in just a few days! Keep your eyes peeled for that!
We also want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has participated in our Power of Peaceful Play research!

We did have a little bump in the road with our vinyl Lucky not getting funded, which is a bit of a bummer It means we might have to get a little creative with our Kickstarter promotion, but we're staying positive and pushing forward, knowing we have such an awesome community supporting us!
Looking ahead, we've got a super cute plushie duo coming your way! And... drumroll please... we're launching on TWO new gaming platforms this week! Stay tuned for the big reveal!

The Paleo Pines 2025 Roadmap is here! We're so happy to be able to share our 2025 roadmap with everyone. It's taken time to solidify our plans for the year, and we appreciate your patience. We've been open about the challenges we've faced as a studio, and we're thrilled at the possibility of reuniting some of the original team to bring more content to Paleo Pines! We want to be totally transparent with everyone - in late 2024 when things were particularly bleak, we really considered shuttering the project altogether. The financial and emotional strain was significant. However, after careful consideration, we realized that stopping wouldn't be fair to our dedicated team or our supportive community. So much passion has been poured into this project, and your support through plushie and merch sales has been instrumental in keeping us going. We're still here and we're completely rejuvenated to make things happen this year! Our vibe for 2025 is all about collaborating with our players more closely than ever before through our Kickstarter, our Research Project and more! Thank you so much for still being here and we hope to do you proud this year. Thank you a million times over for your patience as we've found our way. This community continues to be an inspiration to us View our Roadmap PDF here Lots of love, The Paleo Pines Team
Howdy folks!
We want to share something exciting with you all- Weve received a small amount of funding* to undertake a research project into the power of wholesome gaming, and Paleo Pines in particular, on emotional and mental health, with a focus on neurodiverse/neurodivergent players! This research will be done through online surveys, both quantitative and qualitative.
We want to find out what parts of wholesome/cosy/peaceful gaming really promote relaxation, focus, and other positive emotions, and this research will help us identify which game design elements may contribute to this positive impact to inform future game development, both for Paleo Pines and the wider gaming industry.
This first survey is a short one to gather some broader information, and to collect interest in the next surveys!
Thank you all for participating, and if you have any friends or family who've played Paleo Pines (even just the demo!) and may be interested, please do share this with them!
Participate here: https://forms.gle/FytVnrC8oq2Ehemo9
This survey will be open until March 4th 2025
* This research is independently funded, separate from game and merchandise development.
We just cant help ourselves- Paleo Pines is ON SALE for 55% off this week!
The sale runs until Monday 24th of February; get it while its reduced!
Our latest collaboration with Makeship is available NOW! You can get your very own Strawberry T-Rex HERE
Check out Wilfred's introduction to the rest of the plushies here on our YouTube!
Welcome to Paleo Pines, a charming island known for its friendly dinosaurs, quirky townsfolk, and mysterious past. Here evolution took a different path, creating a world in which humans and dinosaurs live together in harmony!
Set out with your dino companion, Lucky, to uncover the island’s secrets and discover new dinos. Your arrival on the island is met with welcome curiosity by the local townsfolk who can help you on your quest (and just might give you more work to do!). Together with Lucky, build a thriving ranch, assist local villagers, befriend adorable dinosaurs, and unearth the island’s lost history to build your cozy dino sanctuary.
Set off on a lively adventure with your dino pal, Lucky, who you’ve known since she was just an egg. Is she the last of her kind? The other parasaurolophus are missing, and it's up to you and Lucky to uncover their whereabouts. Explore Paleo Pines, a charming island filled with friendly townsfolk and hidden corners. Build a new home, make friends, and unravel the island's lost history. Get ready for a journey filled with delightful discoveries alongside your trusty steed Lucky!
Set up your home base on the island as you go about your parasaurolophus quest. Paleo Pines is a place where you can express your individuality and creativity; no two ranches are the same! Build square pens, or not (although the locals might have something to say about that!). Use decor to build a romantic garden, give your ranch a witchy vibe, or go full-on-farmer with rows and rows of tilled soil. Furthermore, customize your character as you like with a variety of features, curate a colorful collection of clothing—with different items to be found in each area—and change your style using the wardrobe!
The island of Paleo Pines is a dino lover’s dream! A collection of cheeky dinosaurs roam the wild areas waiting to become your friends, as well as ranch helpers. Coax them near by mimicking their calls with your flute, then seal the deal with a tasty treat and trustworthy nose boop! Gain their trust by creating cozy pens and learning what keeps them happy. Dinos move around and some are harder to find than others, or may appear only under special conditions, so new discoveries await you as you explore the island. As your ranch grows, you’ll soon have a dino haven for all your new friends. Check out the Dino Journal to learn all about the creatures that roam the island.
Farm to your heart’s content, growing crops all year round with (and for) your dino besties! Start out planting and watering by hand, but earn your new friends’ trust and they’ll help you deliver a roarsome harvest that you can trade with the townsfolk. As your ranch grows, you’ll learn that each dino has a special farming skill to help you with your tasks. With a bit of love, care, and attention to detail, such as matching soil and season, you can grow the highest quality produce in all of Paleo Pines. Soon you and your dino ranch hands will be the talk of the market!
There's plenty to explore out in the wilds of Paleo Pines, from the flowery fields of Veridian Valley to the high canyons of Ariacotta. Make the most of each day by venturing throughout the lush landscapes across the island, each with their own charm, collectable items, and dinos to discover. Take a leisurely stroll through green meadows, foraging for wild crops as you go, or hop on your trusty dino mount on a hunt for hidden corners. Pause to watch wild dinosaurs playfully interact with each other, right before your very eyes. You'll never run out of things to find or dinosaurs to befriend!
A quirky (but friendly!) array of townsfolk on the island can’t wait to meet you and help you on your quest. Granny might have a stubborn side, but get to know her and she’s an ol’ softie. Building friendships within the community is just as important as building friendships with your dinosaurs. As you ride dinos, farm, and explore, you will come across new characters, each with their own story, items or knowledge to share, and gossip to exchange. Help them out day or night by completing quests, opening up new areas, and visiting the stores and community hubs. And who knows—they may even gift you something to spruce up your ranch!
