Coming Attractions: Kyōryū

 

Just wanted to give this little indie project attention, even more then it already has on other platforms.

This is an animated series created by Ben Mulot and Floating Rock Studio, with a possible game coming too. Pretty ambitious stuff. Kyōryū (after the Japanese word for dinosaur) is about a post-apocalyptic Japan where genetically ressurrected prehistoric life lives wild in the extinction of humanity, and battle among themselves for survival, like an improved version of Jurassic World Dominion, Tokyo Jungle, or Stray, depending on what you think it's most like out of the three.

The CG is astounding, and this is just the teaser; imagine what the full series will do. The creatures move with visible weight and have excellent detailing. They are also stylised, yet still retain accurate designs (for the most part). The samurai-like armour on the Tyrannosaurus stands out, looking badass and fits how they apparently will be Shogun-esque leaders of the world intended by the creators, and the koi/Yakuza feels the Dimetrodon seen in the teaser gives off are also cool. Everything's so anime-inspired and I love ir. Actually thought this was a Japanese-made series until I learnt the name of who made Kyōryū.

The story meanwhile will be entirely through visuals and without any dialogue. That's always cool in my book (and since this is indie, there will be no risk of out of thouch film executives adding it and ruining it - I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT CERTAIN MOVIE I MEAN HEERE GARRRRGGHHHHH).

..... Where was I?

Anyway, I look forward to Mulot's Kyōryū, even joining it's Discord server whenever I want. Try to support it in any way you can.
