Donations announcement part 2
Hello!
It has came to my attention that we will need a bigger budget. To help some of you, you will be able to give in robux donations that are equivalent to the patreon prices. This is only for those who aren't allowed to use patreon, but are allowed to buy robux.

This will still be classed as a donation, and will still give you the patreon gifter roles!
- - Come to me whenever your donating robux. You can do so by coming into my DM's, or pinging me in general, or creating a ticket and pinging me there.

@┋⧼Announcement

Website update: Future plans

Hello! I have been updating the website a little bit to show off the ideas we have for in the future.
These changes will take a little while to be made as we have to prioritise other things first, but I promise you we will try our best to add these in! NOTE: The list can always be added onto, or even some plans exiled from the page.

I hope you enjoy these ideas, let me know your opinions in #❗⋆ᐟgeneral !

Also yes this is the same website with the roster. For those confused on where the roster is located, see this as a chance to look through it!

Age Of Cenozoic - Plans

Ticky here. I would like to share the plans and features that we will probably be adding in the future. Reminder, none of these are final, and will obviously be changed/added onto the further we move into the future.

MECHANICS:?Borrowing - Small boreal terrestrial fauna will be able to burrow.

SERVER FEEDBACK

Thank you for the dozens of responses! We've read through each response carefully, and we want to see your insight on this.

Moderation

Many of you guys mentioned that the moderation team isn't the best or "as good as gold." Therefore, many inactive moderators will be demoted, and moderation applications will be available soon. The requirement has changed to 18+ for moderators, but we are more than happy to make exceptions if your application was very good.

Textures

To my surprise, a lot of you didn't like the textures! Many of you didn't specify or simply said "Trees," but that doesn't provide much information. We will try to use more realistic models from now on.

Map, colouring, and lighting.

A few of you guys panicked, thinking the images in development were the final lighting of the game. The lighting will be different lol! Not everything will be gloomy; that was just me fiddling with storm lighting settings.
Someone mentioned water, and unfortunately, we will have to stick to Roblox's water.
And like 4 of you mentioned rocks. So we'll definitely try to implement more rocks as we go through development!

Us.

Yep, Ticky and I.
There have been some complaints about us and our attitude toward each other, and rightfully so. However, with us both having a final decision, it is expected that we have our quarrels and things we disagree with. However, we will both keep a professional manner around the server, and we promise from now on that the things we disagree with will stay private.

Roster

As mentioned, the roster can be changed, and it isn't really official. Someone said that the animals in the game are just selected and common animals among other games, but this is just not true. We have scientific advisors (oh, btw, we do need some, so DM me if you want to apply) to ensure that the animals are accurate.
We will have more unique animals, such as glyptodons, giant sloths, and alligators. Alongside just more common ones like Smilodon fatalis, dire wolves, and (Scotts') horses.

There has been some debate about bringing marine animals like manatees. But there won't be a lot of water accessible to these creatures on the map, since the sea levels were quite low then. But it's still a possibility!

Game mechanics

The game is still rather early in development, so many of the techniques mentioned will not be fully fleshed out until we're at an appropriate state to do so. We're also in desperate need of a scripter; this has halted a lot of progress within the game.
Also, we do not have a lot of funds; things like these can be quite hefty in price!

Anyway, that's it for today. I hope you feel heard, and we will try our best to improve!

We are back at it! We are here to hear your views and voices. This is crucial to us! https://forms.gle/NPo25yecSVJcH5qU8 please answer it honestly no matter how rude it comes off. @┋⧼Announcement

Server Update
Hello. I have seen many new people joining saying the server looks complicated, extremely long, and generally the sort of place you will get lost in. Now, I fully agree with you. In actual fact we have 99-103 channels (not sure as I’m doing thing on mobile). This number does include staff channels.

Because of this, me and @Bug will be reworking the server later today. Here’s some things you can expect:
- No coloured emojis (Sometimes coloured emojis can make it confusing, as well as ugly - sorry I have to say it) (CHANNEL NAMES)
- Symbols next to channel names
- Under 30 channels
- New roles (Including colours)
- An application channel
Alongside this server change, we will also be/do/have:
- Better layouts in the future when we announce things / show previews in game
- A LOT less pings - I have had a few people moan about it, and some people have said it can reach up to 5 pings a day. I get that is it very annoying trying to press all the pings, or simply doing read all every day.

—————

I am saying this now before doing it, because I just know someone is going to ask ‘where’d all the channels go?’ -> Yes, I will be making all channels except the announcement/development channels, general/media, art/3D art all not visible so you won’t see the change until it’s finished.

We will try do this as fast as we can, this will start in about 3 hours (????)
I feel like Astrid is doing a lot more than me as an owner, so I would like to play my part as an owner. Thank you!
