Behind the scenes, we've been busy with the upcoming Lost Island map, new creatures, stability patches, and much more. With the live-game, we've identified an issue that results in a crash when releasing tames from cryopods on Player Dedicated and clients on Win10. We are working on a resolution and hope to have more news early next week! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/b692c9bd668bfcf1e9a5e55147e0b14295786092.png The recent voting process for the Lost Island creature submission was not only fun and engaging for the community, we engaged and had fun with it internally as well. With that said, we'd love to do it again! If you missed your chance to participate in the creature submission process you haven't lost your opportunity! We'll be opening up the entire process (submission of ideas, upvoting of ideas, narrowing to a top 10, and commencing a final vote) later this year for a creature that will be added to the game! We're excited to see the art and ideas from another creature submission process! 🎨📠{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/8e51f795e1bf41c4c6b251f64490b92d626be1b8.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/be8af67db3c63d05cfa58a77e3ef37a1966f2671.jpg There will be no EVO event this weekend. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/fda81d10ad207588683a3fb23db8194e258daa65.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/29ceeb00d79ba1e9c6d9e820f14f1e0dc388aec1.png

Final voting for the second creature to be added to Lost Island has concluded. A few weeks ago, we created a forum where you could submit your ideas for creatures that will be added to Lost Island. From there, we narrowed it down to the top 10 up-voted submissions. Over 15,000 votes were submitted for the next Lost Island creature and only 1% difference separating the Dinopithecus and the Carcharodontosaurus! Talk about a close finish ​​​​​​​😅 With one unannounced creature coming to Lost Island, what do you think it could be? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/b8670a08fd29fe6e44770ab2c26f9fe9d7b38ded.jpg Download in full resolution {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/6a580ff387a3398d64385dd59135f68e410af65d.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/5ddb2a14534fe7f4b8dacaec3bdc773797fccab6.jpg Download in full resolution {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/6030b873c18c32a4466d131a1dc8ba2ef778eb7a.png I believe Dinopithecus has been changed by ARK life. This species is definitely larger than any I remember from the fossil record. And these oversized baboons show a more pack-oriented behavior than I would've expected in their kind. Whole troops will organize around an alpha, and fall apart if that alpha is slain. Though they seem to prefer a diet of fruit supplemented with the occasional bit of meat,
