🦕 Primal Planet is OUT NOW on Steam and GOG! 🦕

Hey everyone — the day is finally here. After years of solo development, Primal Planet is now live and in your hands. I’m beyond excited (and a little emotional) to finally share this world with you.

🛠️ This has been a deeply personal journey — I’ve worked on everything from the gameplay and art to the writing and worldbuilding. It’s a quiet, emotional story about a father, his family, and their fight to survive in a beautiful but dangerous world.

🎵 Original Soundtrack by Michael Kirby Ward

The amazing Michael Kirby Ward composed the full OST — it’s now available on Steam, either standalone or bundled with the game.

Hello, Dinovanians!

The second update for the Primal Planet demo is live, and it’s packed with improvements, new features, and some much-needed bug fixes. Thank you for all your feedback, it’s been a great help in making the game better! Let’s dive into what’s new:

🐠 A little more variety of small fish to bring life to the waters

🌳 Rare Spirit Trees that grant a Skill Point (there are 2 in the demo, can you find them both?)

🎵 New music tracks for certain intense parts

💾 Permanent save function - finally, your progress is here to stay

🌪️ Walljumping has been fine-tuned for a smoother experience

🏃 Roll-jump momentum now carries through the entire jump

📜 Polish and Spanish translations have been added, and Finnish translation has been improved (more languages on the way)

🧱 No more roll-jumping into walls and getting stuck

❌ Fixed the exploit allowing walljumping straight up due to "coyote time"

🤝 Co-op backgrounds now display properly at the edges when the camera zooms out

⚡ Prevented barriers from going into a flashing loop after being hit. I couldn’t fully reproduce this bug, but I believe I’ve addressed the root cause. Let me know if it still happens!

As always, thank you for playing and for all your feedback, it makes a huge difference! If you run into any issues or have suggestions, feel free to share them. I can’t wait to hear what you think of this update!

PRIMAL PLANET: A pixel-art Metroidvania full of dinosaurs

Hey everyone, I'm still in my cave working on Primal Planet with my stone tools. There's still a long way to go, but it's coming along pretty nicely. Recently I've been chiseling away at the Steam page and added new cover art, a gameplay trailer, new description and all kinds of stuff about this primeval journey.

Check it out, and if this pixel art dinovania sincerely looks like something you'd want to play, please add the game to your wishlist. It would mean so much!

As some of you might know, the last few years have been hard on me. Well, this post is to let you all know that I've gradually gotten over myself, and I'm back! :D

I'm working on a new game! Soon, I'll reveal more about this new project which I'm super passionate about. For now, I just mainly want to express my thanks for all the support over the years, and invite you all to join my new discord server where I'm hoping we can start feeling more like a community and communicate better with each other.
