The next patch will be delayed by a couple of days, since we have to fix a bunch of bugs that sneaked in with the addition of the aquatics. So the Halloween event will last a few days longer than planned.
The aquatics update will feature the following playable animals:
Mosasaurus
Dunkleosteus
Helicoprion
Leedsichthys
Rhizodus
Ophthalmosaurus
We also have Mawsonia, Coelacanth, Doryaspis and Drepanaspis in the making, but we haven't decided yet, if we will make these playable or not. All of these wouldn't really have any attacks and Doryaspis & Drepanaspis are very small (the size of Archaeopteryx and tinier) and would be hard to spot underwater, which makes them rather pure AI candidates, which appear in swarms rather than solo.
Once the aquatics update is out, we will continue to work on the ecosystem mode, which means it will be our main focus in the coming updates and the addition of new species will slow down, maybe even be delayed until post full release of the game, since we currently have enough animals for the ecosystem management part.
We know, that some of you are excited to see new animals, but we feel that adding new dinosaurs to the game, in it's current state, slows our actual progress down and just delays the release of the main part of the game.
If you have any questions, feel free to join our Discord, where you can also find a few aquatic update sneak peeks: https://discord.gg/VsEhawK
Also we are aware of the server issues and are still trying to resolve the problem. Until then let us know, if you get a timeout message and we will restart them asap. (Note: You can't join the Test Server on the public branch!)
We hope you have a happy Halloween!
