Full Kickstarter Rewards Reveal, Discord AMA, and Why A Kickstarter?
We wanted to give all of our Ranchers a sneak peek into what to expect from the Kickstarter which launches on July 1st at 8am PT. We thought the easiest way to do this would be to share the preview of our actual Kickstarter page with you so you can get a sense of the funding goals and rewards we have on offer. Some caveats:
The primary goal of our Kickstarter is to fund an expansion pack for Paleo Pines. As a way of saying Thank You for your pledge towards this goal, we have created multiple awards that you can choose from depending on the pledge level you can afford. Please do not pledge higher than you feel comfortable with and please under no circumstances do we want you to go into debt. Wed rather 100 people pledged lower amounts than causing anyone anxiety about finances.
Note: Prices are listed in GBP.

Weve got our Discord AMA on Thursday, June 26th at 8pm BST! The AMA will take place in the Paleo-Pines-Discussions channel, and if you're not a member of the Discord yet, you can join here!
We've had some questions surrounding WHY we're doing a Kickstarter for this content, which we've added to our Kickstarter itself, but we'll share it here as well to make sure folks can see it easily! It's completely understandable to wonder why a studio with a game like Paleo Pines, which many consider a success, would need a Kickstarter. This has been one of the toughest communication challenges we've faced as an independent studio, and we want to be as transparent as we are able to be. While Paleo Pines has indeed been a wonderful success story in terms of its reception and reach, the unfortunate reality is that the financial benefits of that success have, so far, primarily gone to our publishers. Our merchandise sales, while appreciated, don't generate substantial income due to high costs and thin margins. We have managed to get to this point primarily through the sales of our plushies, determined as we were to keep on trying to secure other forms of funding. The current landscape of the games industry is incredibly tough. Funding opportunities for independent developers have been drying up at an alarming rate. This makes it incredibly difficult for studios like ours to secure the investment needed to continue our work, especially when it comes to creating expansions and updates for existing games. Last year, when we shared our financial struggles with our community, our main hope was to find a new publishing partner. We poured countless hours into this effort, approaching over 50 different publishers in a desperate attempt to secure the resources that would allow us to keep our dedicated team together and bring new content to the game. Despite our best efforts, we were met with disappointment at every turn. It was in this moment of uncertainty that our incredible community stepped up, with a huge number of players urging us to try crowdfunding. With no other viable options on the horizon, we decided to listen to your voices and embrace this path. This Kickstarter isn't just an option for us; it is truly the only way we can bring the Players' Choice expansion to life. Your support means the world to us, and it's what will allow us to continue building the world of Paleo Pines. Thanks for all your support, Lots of love, The Paleo Pines Team

Hello Ranchers!
We wanted to give all of our Ranchers a sneak peek into what to expect from the Kickstarter which launches on July 1st at 8am PT. We thought the easiest way to do this would be to share the preview of our actual Kickstarter page with you so you can get a sense of the funding goals and rewards we have on offer. Some caveats:
- This is a PREVIEW of the page, which means you cant see all the details you will be able to on launch.
- Weve included a complete list of what each Reward Tier includes below because we know this is what many of you will be really curious about.
- You may need to be logged into a Kickstarter account to be able to see this page, but I hope not.
- There is space on this preview page to leave comments but we would prefer you to send any feedback directly to us to avoid a lot of clutter on the page.
- We are still adding a few final touches onto the page, so there might be minor errors If you happen to see any, please let us know!
- Dont be worrying about the duplication of VIP and non-VIP tiers. These will disappear on launch and you will only see the non-VIP tiers on July 1st.
What is a Reward Tier?
The primary goal of our Kickstarter is to fund an expansion pack for Paleo Pines. As a way of saying Thank You for your pledge towards this goal, we have created multiple awards that you can choose from depending on the pledge level you can afford. Please do not pledge higher than you feel comfortable with and please under no circumstances do we want you to go into debt. Wed rather 100 people pledged lower amounts than causing anyone anxiety about finances.

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!
