Patterns will have a bunch of preset color options, which as you get to higher tier skins the amount of options and different colors will be much higher.

  • How will we get our steam codes for the game if we donated or won a code?

Codes will be emailed or given through discord (if no email has been provided). PLEASE MAKE A TICKET IF YOU DONATE 🔻make-a-ticket🎟 in our DISCORD!!!

  • Where can I find a full list of animals that are planned to be in game?

You will find the main list in about-primal-earth! We can keep adding animals to the main list at anytime so feel free to suggest any animals in ideas-and-suggestions. We are always looking (when we can) and if the community really wants a certain animal (that is in Africa for now) then we will consider putting it on the main list or as a free DLC.

  • Are there any competitions for the game?

Yes!! Feel free to participate in any of our current competitions in our discord; 💙map-competition,🧡skin-competition,🔸logo-competition,💚art-competition,💚emoji-competition and a lot more!

  • Do I have to pay the patron tier monthly to keep my donation role?

No, it is a one time payment. EX: You can pay $30 through patreon and $20 through PayPal and you will get the Mythical role. Though, you can choose to do monthly payments in support of the game.

  • Because I donated do I have Early Access?

Yes, if you pay $5 or more you can have early access. However, to get the full time QA role you must apply with the application. If you donated please make a 🔻make-a-ticket🎟 to get your game code

  • When can I get my donation skin?

The skins are not made yet, however when they are released you can choose one animal to put your donation tier skins on.

  • Will we be able to carry babies?

Yes, once life stages are in, predators will be able to carry their young. Baby herbivores will be “born to run” as they would in real life! So they will be able to keep up with their parents from day one.

  • Will it only be Africa or will there be others?

We will not just stop at Africa! Once Africa is complete, we will then be doing other regions like North America, the ocean, and more. Each new region will have new maps, biomes, mechanics, animations, etc!

  • Will there be flyers for Africa or any on the other future maps?

For Africa, we are still deciding if we will add them. There could  be a possibility for us to add them to Africa but it all depends. The second map, which will possibly be North America, will definitely have eagles and other flyers available to play as.

  • How detailed are the models?

Our models are for sure pretty realistic. All our animals will have visible genitalia.

  • Will any animals (that are not completed) be released in game?

We will not release any unfinished animals! They will be thoroughly tested before release and will have all of the mechanics intended.

  • Will we be able to customize certain fur like the mane style/length?

Yes, you will be able to select different mane types and lengths! You’ll also be able to customize some other fur details on your animals as well.

  • Will animals be able to get fat or overeat in game?

No, your animal will not get fat or be able to overeat but you will be able to see if players are well fed.

  • Will you be able to see if a player is starving?

Yes, you will see the difference between a player that is full vs a starving player.

  • Did you buy your models or are they custom made?

We are always open about our models whenever someone has asked this question! We currently do not have a sculptor on the team so we buy our models as place holders for now and we have ALSO learned to sculpt/edit our current models so we can add our own work/touch to them. In the future, we are going to hire a professional sculptor that will completely replace these models and we will make our own custom models that will be exclusive to just PE.

  • Why not just hire a sculptor right now?

Our main goal has always been to hire a professional sculptor (in the future) to make exclusive models for PE that no one would be able to get… BUT we are not going to just hire anyone that can just sculpt. Models can in fact cost $1000 or more each as it is. We are going for very realistic and high quality, so we will get a sculptor that will make even better models then what we currently have. It is what we want for this game! The few sculptors we have in mind are going to be hired in the future BUT to hire them will cost A LOT more to just do one custom model (so we will hire them when the time is right). We really appreciate everyone’s patience and for understanding.

  • What is “experience” in PE?

You gain experience from surviving, migrating, managing and claiming territory, learning from parents/groups(family oriented ) The way you apply the experience points you earn will be in a character menu which will be filled with detailed attributes that will enhance your creature to fit your play-style. Traits like speed, defense, power, survival, and parenting will be broken down to specific abilities that benefit your animal. The more you fill that stat the more experience points It will cost.

  • For example: if you choose to enhance your speed for a leopard here are a few of the abilities you’ll be able to enhance.
    • Tree Climber
    • Ambush acceleration
    • Parkour agility
    • Attack Speed
    • etc…
  • What does experience mean for primals?

Primals will have special abilities which will be called Primal Instinct. These abilities have cooldowns and must be used strategically to be effective in conflicts. (classified information)

  • How do the common skins work? Are those skins ones you start with? Do choose which one or you want or is it random?

You will still need to unlock and earn those with Wild coins, and once you have the skins you will be able to choose whatever skin you’d like before spawning in.

  • Will lions (or other big cats such as cheetahs) be able to climb trees?

Lions will be able to climb^^ but we will have two mechanics in place so it won’t be easy to do. Cheetahs might be able to climb trees as well in the future^^

  • Will there be anything to strive for past the “adult” stage?

Yes, once you have met the requirements for your species you can unlock your Primal form.

  • Can I donate to PE?

Yes! The info is in our #donation-tiers and #exclusive-donation-tiers! Once you donate to one of our tiers, you will unlock ⁠primal-den and behind-the-scenes

  • How do you get the primal role?

You get the role and access to ⁠primal-den by donating to our game. Anything helps and we appreciate it.
