Very Safe Dino Park is essentially friendslop Jurassic Park

Overview & Key Takeaways

Very Safe Dino Park is a chaotic multiplayer game where you and up to three friends will run a dinosaur theme park.

"Friendslop" doesn't sound like the most complimentary of terms, because it describes multiplayer games that have a little jank to them and aren't particularly polished. They usually revolve around one core mechanic, include amusing physics, and don't take themselves too seriously. But they're a heck of a lot of fun to play with friends; some of the most successful examples include Peak, Phasmophobia, and the recent Meccha Chameleon.

If you're a dinosaur fan, today's your lucky day, because Very Safe Dino Parkis the next friendslop game that is positioned to have your Discord call in fits of laughter. Revealed Monday, the game comes from developer Panic Stations, who previously released Frog Sqwad earlier this month, Very Safe Dino Park is described as "a chaotic one-to-four player dinosaur park sim where feeding the dinos, cleaning the mess, and surviving the chaos are all part of the job." It sounds like it's essentially Jurassic World Evolution with a much more comedic approach.

You'll need to maintain a facade of competence to your guests, but the Steam description explains that behind the scenes, dinosaurs are getting hungry, guests are getting annoying, and systems are definitely failing. Not to mention the fact you'll need to feed your dinosaurs, clean up their poop, and even tranquilize some.

Try not to let the dinosaurs eat your guests, though. Or do, because it sounds hilarious according to the mature content description: "When guests are killed, they fall apart into different body parts like a puppet or a mannequin. There is cartoon red blood. These parts can be added to a biofuel generator, which converts them into electricity to run the park."

There's no confirmed release date for Very Safe Dino Park yet, but you can follow the developer's X page for updates.

Wardogs Has A Massive Start On Steam, But Players Face Brutal Server Queues

A big new military FPS, Wardogs (not to be confused with the 2016 Jonah Hill/Miles Teller crime-comedy War Dogs) launched today in early access(https://store.steampowered.com/app/1867240/WARDOGS/) on Steam, and it's off to a hot start. The shooter reached 300,000 peak concurrent users on Steam(https://store.steampowered.com/charts/mostplayed) right out of the gate and the $40 game is currently Steam's No. 1 best-seller. Pretty impressive for a game that the developer told you not to buy(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/shooter-climbing-steam-charts-lists-10-reasons-not-to-buy-it/). Given the flood of players, developer Bulkhead instituted a server queue system, and this quickly became something of a meme on social media. Players shared screenshots of the queue and their place in it--some people reported having more than 300,000 people in line in front of them(https://x.com/ModernWarzone/status/2098098285244207270). Yeesh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpQnZgZCIo8 Bulkhead responded to the brutal queueing situation, saying it was partly due(https://x.com/WARDOGS/status/2098088030686879852) to the developer being "rate limited." The company said it was working with Valve to resolve this limit and get an increase in line with "larger titles." Things got worse, temporarily albeit, for some, as Bulkhead made the decision to kick everyone from the queue(https://x.com/WARDOGS/status/2098096580670759056) as a fix that, in theory, would help more players get into the game faster. Bulkhead boss Joe Brammer gave an update on the queuing situation, saying the queue itself is not "specifically broken," but instead he said Wardogs didn't get the kind of treatment that AAA games receive when it comes to rate limits. "Hang in there," Brammer said. https://twitter.com/Brammflakes/status/2098101353595724112 That wasn't the extent of the launch-day issues, as people reported getting banned for seemingly no reason. Bulkhead said it's aware of these "incorrect bans"(https://x.com/WARDOGS/status/2098080435687317592) and is working to address them immediately. Wardogs is a large-scale military FPS featuring 100 players, divided into three teams, on a map battling it out in a fictional version of Eastern Europe. In addition to launching Wardogs into early access, Bulkhead revealed that the game's console edition for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S will be released in 2028.
