Hey Everyone. Well this is a pretty new experience for us as a community. One of you put it best as "I bit off more than I could chew". The Ultimate Dinosaur Simulator is a bit of a mess, and needs to be fixed, that is a given. I apologize so many of you are having trouble with it. I will fix everything I can after some time. Unfortunately lag is cause by memory consumption, everything in the game takes up some amount of memory, including animations. Playable dinosaurs have a...round 35-40 animations, compared to enemy dinos which generally have about 8-10. So with 10 playable animals, the game has about 350 extra animations more than previous games, thats many times for than the game usually has all together. This cause a really high memory consumption that not only causes lag, but it is unfixable, every animation is needed to be a playable dino, and dinosaurs are big complex creatures so the animation are more intensive than usual. I just wanted to deliver everything you guys asked for, even half way through the game only had 8 dinos but with so many requests for the Mosasaurus I upped it to 10 and tried to atleast include it (i know the aquatic world is pretty barebones). These are all mistakes and learning experiences, I promise to do better in the future. All of the smaller bugs can and will be fixed. In short I believe I have found (and passed) the ceiling for these mobile games and my abilities. Together we have shared a lot of successes and I guess this is us sharing a failure. I know you all are really anxiously awaiting a fix but it will have to wait a few weeks. I am just too burnt out on the UDS. Other multi-person companies can offload the work between each other, something I don't have the luxury of. My work and my life are one in the same. And the pressures of an ever growing community and the grueling work hours I put in on a daily basis really influence my mental state. I just need a break from the UDS for a bit. But you all deserve a fully functional game and I promise you will get one, anyone who might want a refund feel free to contact me at chris@glutenfreegaming.com Lastly please don't worry about me because I am doing fine! I have simply learned to anticipate when I am getting overwhelmed and avoid it. I will be scarce with my social media presence but I will be working hard on the Fox, which has some really cool new features in it, and I will spend the majority of my time refining the performance of all recent features to get the games running smoothly again for everyone. Thanks so much for everyones support, bug reports, and a special thanks Scott Cawthorn, the FNAF dev who's open letter reminded me to not only share your highest moments with your community but to be open about your short comings as well.
