Not trying to pressure you or anything, but imma need the demo on my desk by end of work day tomorrow. Please and thank you ❤️

I can’t guarantee it’ll be that quick, but I’ll try to have the demo out asap 💖

[cretaceous-if]

Hello! Do you accept ro asks?

Hi! Yes, I do!

[cretaceous-if]

OK so this might sound weird but since MC and G had been together for quite long (6 years right) im assuming they HAVE been intimate atleast several times or..

If mc was comfortable with sex, then yes, they would have been intimate many times.

[cretaceous-if]

Maybe you thought about the name Sierra? They have the same pronunciation and origin, though Sierra means mountain range

I got Cierra from a list of Spanish baby names lol, I had no thoughts in my head whatsoever except ‘ooo pretty’.

[cretaceous-if]

hello!!! can things start again with an ewb with collins (exes with benefits) like mc denying their old feelings but remembering how good sex was with collins but having to face the love that never went away

Hi!! I’m afraid that won’t be an option just because this is all pretty fast-paced.

It’s why all the ROs and mc have somewhat of an established relationship (with Cierra and her lil mysterious ways being the exception - although mc has met her several times).

G and mc fall back into a relationship before they fall back into bed.

[cretaceous-if]

hello! good morning. so, i'm assuming the polyams are triad and not the v type. If so, I wanted to ask: what do/would G and Nikolaj see in each other? What about Lee and Aija? Is there any shared history between the pairs outside of MC and the job? Or did they all meet bc of work? Ty!

Hello! Yes, they are triads, sorry I forgot to make that clear.

G and Niko met when Niko first joined, but they became close because of their relationships with mc. They became good friends and, before things got too hectic in their lives, they would go out together for meals. Niko was really sad when G and mc broke up, but he understood why and remained friends with G (with mc’s blessing).

Lee and Aija met a couple of weeks after Aija joined. Neither of them were watching where they were going and crashed into each other. Lee, who was extremely stressed over a new exhibition, snapped at poor Aija before storming off. Once Lee had the chance to calm down, xe came back with a coffee and a few pastries that xe’d found out they liked and apologised. Aija was really surprised, but it started a surprising friendship. Lee is rather protective of Aija.

[cretaceous-if]

ROs ideal date? 👉👈

These would definitely be their ideal dates:

G: library date/beach date.

Lee: stargazing date/ice skating date.

Niko: arcade date/escape room date.

Cierra: picnic date/cooking date.

Aija: bowling date/theme park date.

[cretaceous-if]

Who are the big spoons and who are the little spoons out of the ROs?

Big spoon: G, Aija.

Little spoon: Lee.

Both: Niko, Cierra.

G likes holding mc in their arms and tucking them in close. They like knowing that mc is safe and warm and in their space.

Aija loves snuggling mc. If mc is smaller than Aija, they like feeling like they’re protecting them and if mc is taller than Aija, they like feeling like a lil backpack.

While xe would struggle to admit it, Lee loves to be held. Xe would like it even more if you traced patterns on xyr skin or played with xyr hair.

Niko depends. Sometimes he wants you in his arms so he can tangle himself up with you. Other times he wants to be in your arms so he can feel your heartbeat clearly against his back.

Cierra also depends, but she leans more towards little spoon. If mc wanted her to the big spoon, she’d wrap them up and keep them cocooned in her warmth, but usually she likes being a little spoon so she can feel taken care of.

[cretaceous-if]

you got me with the ex-partner, the explicit sex and the cuddling baby dinos.

anon, you’re so real for this.

[cretaceous-if]

As a Spanish speaker I'm curious as to what inspired the name 'Cierra' because in Spanish it stems from the verb 'cerrar' which is to close. So it's like naming someone' Close' as in 'Close the door' which in Spanish would be 'Cierra la puerta' . So I'm super curious as to how that came about. If it's not a spoiler is it a symbolic reference for the story?. Maybe it's been mentioned before but my tumblr doesn't let me scroll down for some reason :')). This game looks super good by the way!! /lh ❤️❤️✨

Thank you! 💖💖

Honestly, I feel like of embarrassed now, but I didn’t know any of this, so there’s no real meaning to why I called her Cierra.

I just thought the name Cierra was very pretty which I felt suited her!

[cretaceous-if]

The rest of the cast: watching as MC and G get into a sexy shouting match over unresolved issues two second after one of their friends just got mauled to death by a velociraptor

… yeah it makes sense why there wouldn’t be much angst LMAO

Honestly 😭

Not only is it insensitive, but it would be way too noisy. Most dinosaurs have very acute hearing and one minute they’d be arguing and the next everyone would become dino chow…

Wouldn’t make G and mc very popular lol.

[cretaceous-if]

i'm definitely excited for your IF! i saw dinosaurs in your pinned and didn't even need to read the summary to know i'd want to read your story lol

can i ask what we'll be able to choose about our mc's appearance? i love customizing mcs

Thank you!! I feel like the dinos were definitely the main selling point lol.

Let me know if you have any suggestions.

-> Gender (pronouns, cis/trans, titles).

-> Eye colours.

-> Hair (colour, length, texture, facial hair).

-> Head covering/scarfs.

-> Skin (colour, skin pigmentations, skin conditions, scars, tattoos).

[cretaceous-if]

It's here!! The public update is now live and you can find the link down below! 🖤🖤

But first you can read some of the changes I made for this update:

Sol is now gender selectable! Now only Wulfric is gender-locked, while the rest of the ROs are all gender-selectable;

Friend!crush Sol (friends to lovers) and Enemy!crush Sol (enemies to lovers). Romancing choices are marked with a 🖤;

Rescue—adopt?—a little kid;

Two interludes were added.

Choose to wear a mask or a veil, and pick between many designs of masks for your Death to wear;

Second part of Chapter 2 is focused on world-building, lore, and Éoin's life as a mortician.

Secondly, a list of small things that I added:

Around 15k words were added to chapter one and 12k to chapter two. The demo now has a total of 100k words;

Now the choices that will unlock the madness and fury domain are labeled.

Added time and location to each memory jump to better situate the reader.

Make sure to check the show stats option! I'll be adding details about the characters and the world of Hylaria there with every update.

Much more.

💀 PUBLIC DEMO 💀

[cretaceous-if]

Will you get to play as a crazy cat lady but for your dinosaurs??? (either way i'm already referring to them as my babies in my head rn)

I always call them my babies/hatchlings/duckling/little shadows/pretty girls/etc. (and the ROs call them mc’s babies) while writing, but I have to keep reminding myself that some mc’s wouldn’t do that, so I have to have more neutral names as well.

To answer your question though, you can absolutely go crazy cat lady on your baby dinos. Get their picture printed on jumpers and totes and pillows.

[cretaceous-if]

DROPPPPPPP NIKOLAJ FACTS NOWWWWWW(pls🥺🥺) I LOVE GOLDEN RETRIEVER CHARACTERS JSWJWSKJQS

ME TOO!!

-> Niko was a dinosaur kid and he still keeps up to date with all the facts and new research about the dinosaurs on the Island. He says it’s because if a kid asks him about a dinosaur that isn’t a raptor, he wants to be able to tell them everything possible.

-> Before he came to the Island, he had three rescue dogs. G’s dad wouldn’t let him bring them so he left them with his brother. Whenever he has leave to go back to Denmark, his pups are the first ones he goes to see.

-> Niko knows sign language.

-> His favourite colour is yellow and he always incorporates it into his outfits somehow.

-> Niko joined three years after mc and as soon as he met them, he decided that they were going to be his best friend.

-> He often brings drinks and food to mc while they work to make sure they get some sustenance. If possible, he’ll get them to a cafe or restaurant for a proper meal.

-> The Velociraptors (Zolzaya, Orghana, & Delbee) are his lil munchkins. They imprinted on him, so they’re quite happy to hang out with him and nap on him (even if he has to be careful of his fingers).

-> Niko and Aija are good friends and often hang out together in their down time.

[cretaceous-if]

What are the ROs love languages?

Giving | Receiving

G: Acts of service | words of affirmation.

Lee: Quality time | acts of service.

Niko: Physical touch | physical touch.

Cierra: Quality time | acts of service.

Aija: Giving gifts | receiving gifts.

i hope its going well :) it sounds like a lovely story

Hello! Thank you! I’m loving all the dino fans that are popping up lol.

I’m part way through writing and coding the prologue which I think I’m going to publish when it’s done (hopefully end of December at the latest, but I’m aiming for sooner), so you guys can get a taste of what’s to come.

The supportive words are appreciated!
