Flyers and Swimmers
  • Flyers and Swimmers are playable for everyone - Archaeopteryx, Rahonavis, Pterodactyl, Deinosuchus, Mosasaurus and Megalodon (thank you for 100 players!)

  • Archaeopteryx unlocks from Raptor XP at the same point as the first Tyrant

  • Deinosuchus unlocks as soon as you play or skip the tutorial

  • Rahonavis and Mosasaurus unlock from Flyer and Swimmer XP; Pterodactyl and Megalodon are the class capstones

  • New FLYERS and SWIMMERS tabs on the dino select screen and in the Dino-pedia

  • 14 new achievements - Unlocked and Mastered for all six, plus Sky Hunter and Leviathan

  • Long-haul flyers - Rahonavis and Pterodactyl stay in the air three times longer, and running on the ground tires them faster than flying

  • Archaeopteryx - the all-rounder, decent on the ground and in the air

  • Real flight - flyers fly with a physics body and slide around cliffs, rocks, trees and the ground instead of passing through

World
  • The Volcano - a huge volcano in the south-west corner, the tallest thing on the island, with a lava lake in its crater (don't fall in)

  • Sea life - sardines, prawns, jellyfish, salmon, tuna, octopus and turtles live in the sea in schools and groups, all breaded

  • Whales - very rare, sometimes with a calf

  • Sea floor - shells, starfish, coral, sand dollars, ammonites, urchins, anemones, sponges, kelp, giant clams and old whale bones

Dinos
  • Growth bounce - your dino squishes and bounces every time it grows

Graphics
  • Lake reflections - OFF / BAKED / PLANAR; Planar mirrors the far bank, trees and mountains in the water

  • Depth of field - optional (off by default), focuses where you aim, above and under water

  • Sun lens flare - with a toggle in Graphics

Sound
  • New Triceratops roar, call and hurt cry

World
  • New sky - realistic colours through the day, a sun disc, stars, and a moon with its own path that lights the night

  • Haze - distant ridges fade into the sky colour and a low haze settles in the valleys

  • Water - rivers, lakes and the sea are one surface, with foam on fast water and whitewater on the falls

  • Reflections - rivers and springs reflect the world too, not just the lakes

  • Small grass no longer squashes under every step

Fixed

3 changes
  • Two water layers on the wide river between West Lake and North Lake and the other lake outlets

  • Flying through cliffs, rocks and the ground

  • Days starting too dark after a session began at night
