Quick little screenshot of how the game's forest environments are shaping up! Adding little ferns and mushrooms really adds a lot of life.

The third and final image from our Steam demo's intro! Even when Prati was small, she would eagerly read, watch and listen to everything her handlers gave her access to! It's no small wonder then that she's able to echo back nearly anything she hears.

Here's the next image from the Steam demo intro! All of the dinosaurs from Sawyer's generation were created with even greater expectations than the previous. As early as each of them could remember, even playtime involved testing and evaluation.

During the intro of our Steam demo, you can see scenes from some of our character's early lives, each being raised by a team of researchers. Daisy here acquired an appreciation for gardening from her caretaker, though she did outgrow her favorite watering can eventually...

We're excited to announce we've opened a community Discord server! Let's talk about dinosaurs! Hop in, read the rules, and come say hi! discord.com/invite/tdN32...

We've updated the game's Steam page with a fresh new set of illustrations by @strflr.bsky.social ! What do you think?

Here's Shade, relaxing in a sunbeam.

At the enclosures where Sawyer grew up, all the Utahraptors were enrolled in an intensive corporate leadership training program. Sawyer strived to meet and exceed every single evaluation criteria. However, that didn't lead to much popularity with her peers.

Here's some more Daisy screenshots we had lying around:

We've got *even more* dinosaur-related text and pictures! Part 2 of Daisy's character profile is up on our dev blog: clevergirlsrpg.tumblr.com/post/8148304... This time we talk about what Daisy brings to battles. Check it out! #clevergirls

We did some painting to make one of the demo's most requested changes. Sawyer's switched to decaf!

"I figured there’s probably a big interest in dinosaurs that extends beyond having them be these big murder creatures." @alyssawejebe.bsky.social talks to @ossifragegames.bsky.social about their upcoming tactical RPG/visual novel starring sapphic dinosaurs, Clever Girls:

Dinosaurs On the Run in Clever Girls - Unwinnable

"I definitely don’t want the fact that they’re dinosaurs to be lost in how I write them, but I do like the idea of them being taught to think like people."

Lending a helping (and not so helping) hand... Concept art for Clever Girls !

We made our dinos look at whatever the player targets! Really makes them feel more lifelike, no?

Just answered a very interesting question on our development blog! (Did you know we have a development blog?) It concerns the "player character" and relationship systems. And also, another Prati sketch. clevergirlsrpg.tumblr.com/post/7790281...

Clever Girls Development Blog

Hello, main thing I want to ask is due to the apparent relationship angle of the game. Are we meant to pick a character, or are a specified one (Sawyer?). And if that is the case, the question is on.....

We’re polishing up our UI, VFX, and other little details in order to make the stealth and enemy knowledge systems intuitive (without overloading the player with information) Getting closer to a demo release, bit by bit!

The simple game dev joy of adding new foliage models to the terrain and then going “ooh” and “aah” at all your outdoor levels. 🌱
