Probably yes (I love them from the very fist one). But that's ok. Not everyone needs to like everything the same ;) As far as I understand new season is coming with new collectible creature so maybe this time you will be more pleased.

I do love ark but I like the og map more than the abberation maps.

Oh wow yeah 10 years ago is definitely not associated with Ark Aberration which came out 7 years ago. I guess I was just reaching in hopes to find more Ark enthusiasts haha

Was a sketch our founder did in his sketchbook about ten years ago that ended up getting turned into a model. Maybe we’ll post the original design in discord. They do have some similarities but the inspiration largely came from frogs, chickens, and angler fish.

Yes

Can I ask what was the inspiration behind the design/concept of the Hoppers? They show a lot of reminiscence of Bulbdogs from Ark Aberration and I wanted to know if that was intentional.

am I the only one who kind hates the design of the glow hoppers
