for those who really want to know more: here's the current (may change(again)) storyline:
You start as an assistant of a scientist who is working at a time machine. The year is 2164. Earth has become a dead place after a climate disaster in 2082, and everybody has now moved to the moon and mars, where they filled the atmosphere with oxygen. The scientist who you work together with wants to use his time machine to undo this climate disaster so people can live on earth again.
The problem with the time machine is that there is still one component missing, and you'll have to bring that component to complete the time machine. But of course, traveling through time can cause a time paradox, so to see if it's safe, they first travel to a time period called cretaceous, the time in which the dinosaurs lived, to study the dinosaurs and the climate of that time. To make it safe, they do it in a copy of this dimension, so a time paradox won't have any effect on their lives.
But when they try to come back to the present, something went wrong and the time machine explodes, opening a giant wormhole that sucks them and many dinosaurs back to the present. This is where the real game begins: you can catch and train dinosaurs, and fight against other players. When you catch big enough flying or aquatic dinosaurs, you will be able to swim or fly while sitting on their backs. You will also be able to use vehicles to move around, and some weapons to kill or injure dinosaurs. There will be some quests to complete and three different worlds (the moon, mars, and after some quests about saving it: earth)
for those hungry for screen shots:
Yes, I know i still have to do textures, and the aspect ratio is bad in windowed mode, but i couldn't take screen shots in full screen mode.
btw: progress is about 15%
