I spent a large chunk of my 3 years as a Game Programmer at Behaviour Interactive working on Jurassic World: Primal Ops, a Unity mobile game launched alongside the Jurassic World: Dominion film. I was one of the first devs on the project, staying on until just a month or so before it was released in 2022.
The project has since been cancelled (RIP), but there was a lot of YouTube content created about it! So I figured, why not feature it here: it's no longer something people can go download but, with the right links, you can still see what we all worked so hard on.
Here's the trailer:
As for my contributions: I was primarily tasked with working on the "meta-game" side of things, features that were accessed by players in the menus and UI of the game. For example: the world map, mission-select screens, dinosaur management, etc. etc.
As soon as we began releasing early-access versions of the game, I discovered that the community around Jurassic games is actually huge. (I would not have known this, as I only watched the original Jurassic Park movie for the first time after starting on this project.... Woops!) We were lucky to have a big YouTuber in this community, TheGamingBeaver, immediately begin creating a whole video-series about our game! He's extremely entertaining to watch.
The community loved the game. It's a shame that it was cancelled, but so it goes in the entertainment industry.
