Good read and thank you for the insight! Cheers for making ARK your (virtual) home

Thank you! I know it's been rough lately with the focus to prepare for console certification (now I know why there are so few persistent survival genre games to hit retail!). At last on the other side of that gauntlet, we can now redouble our focuson the live game. I appreciate everyone bearing with us and continuing to enjoy ARK, and the encouragement is very much appreciated Cheers, Jeremy

Thank you all for the kind thoughts and words, it's really very much appreciated. Hearing and reading about people's enjoyment of ARK is tremendously encouraging! Best regards, Jeremy

Thank you very much for this encouragement, we're giving it all we got!!! Cheers, Jeremy

Thank you!!! The kind words of encouragement are very much appreciated and mean a lot to me and the rest of the team Best, Jeremy Stieglitz

Ah sorry about that, please restart your Steam Client to update to v254.93, and then you'll be able to see the Cholocates within your Inventory! Cheers, Jeremy

Ah I had already sent a note to Jen & Jat to add the Arabian Nights village to the ARKitect winners about 5 hours ago, before Wolf Angelus even posted (on a side note: I didn't even realize it was his at the time). I hadn't got a chance to personally review this week's entries in-time, but once I saw that village, I was quite impressed!

Only if the Unofficials run with the -vday parameter, when the update is released on Sunday!

Indeed the other Bonuses will start when the V-Day content releases on Sunday. You'll notice it then, as I'll be updating the News accordingly at that time -Jeremy

Actually Wolf Angelus I'm a big fan of your work, and I didn't get to review this week's winners myself as I was out of the office most of today (Wife's B-Day). I absolutely love the "Egypt & Arabian Village", it's super creative It's going in for a tie, the page should be updated shortly! Sorry about the mix-up on that!!! Cheers, Jeremy

Beautiful work Vermithrax Per-pixel painting is coming to Xbox and PS4 soon too!!! -Jeremy

Btw we didn't even know ARK was being considered for "Best use of a Farm Animal" (or any Steam Award) until Valve told us ARK had been nominated for it by the Steam Selection Committee on its own. After they told us we were nominated, we figured it'd be fun to add the Ovis since we had already planned on adding a creature for wool shearing using the new "hair" system! -Jeremy

Really appreciate the kind words -Jeremy

Next week. Gonna make sure it appears solid on PC first throughout this weekend!

They're intended to be end-game gear, challenging both to acquire and to upkeep (via a new TekEngram/Resource mechanic). The purpose of the Tek Tier is to provide room for certain end-game mechanics to grow in long-term directions. The video may make it look like everyone's gonna be running around in unlimited Power Ranger / Iron Man armor en masse -- if it's balanced properly, that will hopefully not be the case Also, any or all of the Tek Tier stuff will be specifically disable-able for servers! -Jeremy
