Jaw Drop Games Launches Kickstarter For ‘Dino Crisis’-Like Survival Horror Game ‘Deathground’
Okay, so we’ve got that fan remake of Dino Crisis still being worked on, but you still want more dinosaur horror? Jaw Drop Games is looking to fill that void with their own dino survival horror game called Deathground, which just launched its Kickstarter, but also has a Steam page.
The UK-based team, who are “passionate dinosaur and horror fans” and made up of industry veterans, are currently asking for around 80K GBP to complete the project. Deathground is focused on squad-based and solo gameplay, along with “unpredictable” dino AI that will “hunt you down, influence decision-making and drive a tailored experience.” Judging from the screenshots and gifs, the game definitely evokes survival horror elements (including an Aliens-style motion tracker!), while sporting some great graphics.
Jaw Drop Games also state that the game’s community will “have an active role in helping to shape the game experience”, as well as “an emphasis on player feedback”. As with these Kickstarters, there are several backer levels, depending on your contribution, as well as stretch goals.
The team seems to have laid out a comprehensive plan, including a timeframe that includes a Q3 2021 Early Access release on Steam. So obviously, if you want to see this come to fruition (as Capcom doesn’t seem to want to resurrect Dino Crisis anytime soon), then check these guys out.

‘Dying Light 2’ Receives New Difficulty Mode and More With “Nightmare Mode” Update [Trailer]
Not to be outdone by Dead Island 2‘s recent expansion, Techland has announced that Dying Light 2 is getting an update of it’s own with the much-requested Nightmare Mode, which adds “the hardest and most immersive difficulty yet” to the game, along with an array of additional elements.
Nightmare Mode for Dying Light 2 forces players to rely on tactics and strategic management of resources in order to survive. The new difficulty introduces changes to stamina management, called the Tactical Stamina system, limited HUD options for better immersion, and a flickering flashlight that goes out when used for too long. These and other additions aim to heighten the atmosphere give the overall experience a needed refresh for veteran players. Those who manage to complete the game on this highest difficulty will be rewarded with the memorable Waltz Outfit.
The Nightmare Mode Update adds more than just the new difficulty. New adjustments to the Infected and night experience are also part of the update. What’s more, co-op players will be glad to hear they will now be able to take on the Community Maps with up to three friends. Archers will get reworked power shot mechanics. And you even have the opportunity to change the appearance of the Grappling Hook.
Dying Light 2 is available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
