What is Paleokin?
Paleokin is an upcoming open-world prehistoric survival game developed by solo creator Peter under the studio name Accept Permadeath. Set in an infinite procedural landscape featuring savannas, meadows, mountains, and oceans, players must brave severe seasonal weather, hunt prehistoric megafauna, tame dinosaurs, and establish tribal settlements either solo or in four-player co-op.
During a run, your primary objective is surviving the brutal annual freeze rather than defeating bosses. Warm seasons demand farming, rainwater collection, base construction, and stockpiling supplies, because winter brings bitter cold that kills crops immediately. You must manage bodily conditions like sanity, bleeding, fatigue, and hunger while defending against predators.

Scout an area with solid ground clearance, defensible natural choke points, and access to fresh timber.

More details

Dinosaur Taming and Breeding
Prehistoric creatures can become more than hunting targets through taming, breeding, and riding. Ride a triceratops and shoot from its back, combining a dinosaur mount with ranged combat.
The Early Access release plans to feature seven distinct creature species across land, sea, and air.
Tamed Triceratops serve as heavy armored tanks that allow riders to fire bows while moving.
Captured animals can be bred in camp enclosures to raise defensive herds and working pack mounts.
More details

More details

Scaffolds can be freely connected and bent to construct organic shapes instead of rigid grids.
Wall and roof openings are enclosed with sticks, mud, or hides to insulate against cold winds.
Canopy platforms connected by suspension bridges keep living quarters safe from terrestrial predators.
More details

Every crafting attempt rolls across six potential tiers spanning from useless junk to legendary masterworks.
The crafting interface displays precise percentage odds before players commit scarce materials.

More details
Tools, weapons, clothing, and dino-mounted riding gear can be crafted to suit specific wilderness needs.
Farming and Winter Survival
Plow the land, plant crops, collect rainwater, and prepare food supplies during the warmer seasons. Winter brings cold, barren conditions and dying crops, making advance preparation essential.
Plow fertile soil near your main settlement perimeter to cultivate seasonal crops before the frost hits.
Set up reservoirs to collect rainwater, securing fresh hydration supplies for farming and consumption.
Diversify your pantry with gathered meat, fish, and harvest yields to prevent winter sanity penalties.
More details
Upgrade weak stick panels with mud or thick dinosaur hides to maximize insulation against freezing blizzards.
Weapons and Combat
Fight with spears, bows, and slingshots, using both melee and ranged attacks against prehistoric wildlife. Read enemy attack wind-ups and time your blocks to handle heavy hits from large creatures and fast attacks from smaller threats.
Surviving melee combat requires reading enemy creature wind-ups and executing precision blocks.
Hunters utilize slingshots for agile targets and hunting bows for long-distance encounters.
Crafted spears provide primary melee defense against charging prehistoric predators and megafauna.
More details
Riding large beasts like the Triceratops allows archers to fire weapons from an elevated platform.
