Apogee Entertainment (@Apogee_Ent), the legendary developer-publisher behind Duke Nukem, Prey (2006), Max Payne, Wolfenstein 3D, Commander Keen, and many more, announced today that the company has accepted $5 million in external financing - making it the first outside investment in Apogee's history.
eWTP Tech Innovation Fund’s $5 million investment in Apogee comes on the heels of the original indie game publisher’s public resurgence in March 2021, when founder and industry luminary Scott Miller rejoined the company he started in his parents’ home in 1987. A creative powerhouse that mentored id Software, Remedy Entertainment, and so many others, Apogee’s 2021 resurrection saw several successful game launches, like sci-fi survival adventure Residual from OrangePixel, and even more signings, including the open-world epic Elements (starring Patricia Summersett of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild) and Turbo Overkill, a frenetic first-person shooter from the acclaimed creator of DOOM II mod Total Chaos.
eWTP shares Apogee’s vision for an industry future where undiscovered indie talent is found, elevated, and rewarded for simply giving consumers great games—complete, polished, and purely fun. Their investment will accelerate Apogee’s growth, allow the hiring of additional management and production staff, and make possible the signing of several new games and developers spanning the globe.
"I couldn't be more thrilled by this investment in our future success. I’m especially glad to have met Partner CY Chen and VP of Business Development Jack Sorensen, both of whom impressed us deeply with their understanding of our profession and business goals," said Scott Miller. "Partnering with eWTP has us excited for the rocket ride ahead, on which we’ll discover and bring even more games to the world."

Digital Dreams Entertainment LLC, best known for its work on the wildly popular Mutant Football League, is offering players the experience of a lifetime in its first-person hunting simulator, Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunt. Travel to a world like Earth 65+ million years ago to planet FMM UV-32 with nothing but your wits, your trusty rifle, and your bag of hunting tricks to track and kill the largest, most dangerous creatures ever to exist -- DINOSAURS. This is the first time this popular series has appeared on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.
Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunt is a remastered version of the PC game, Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn, that features a smoking-hot game engine that delivers improved graphics, advanced dinosaur behaviors, and seamless player progression. Hunters will visit the many lovely but potentially lethal environments including beaches, dense jungles, rocky plains, and deserts. Making full use of the environment will increase your odds of having a successful hunt. Players will follow trails and track animal footprints, stay aware of wind direction to hide their scent, use stealth tactics, or gain the high ground to get any kind of edge over your ten-ton prey.
Prior to the start of any hunt, players will need to make a plan (and a Last Will and Testament) while considering the types of dinosaurs they’ll encounter. Among the most crucial items they’ll need is the handheld M.I.S.T. (Mobile Interstellar Satellite Transponder) which includes a radar and GPS satellite positioning to make it easier to track their prey. The Cover Scent item, which masks the player’s scent, can also be a lifesaver. Oh -- and don’t forget a high caliber rifle, a sniper rifle, or a silent crossbow! What you choose to bring into the hunting arena, will determine whether you successfully make the shot or even live to tell the tale.
Once all of their arrangements have been made, players will track down a wide variety of dinosaur species, each with its own behavior patterns and intelligence level. While some dinosaurs will run away if spotted, others will attack if they feel threatened. There are also those extremely hungry dinosaurs who will just kill anything that moves, so be on the lookout for them and try not to be their next meal.
Digital Dreams has announced that a remastered version of Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunt, the fifth installment in the Carnivores series, is coming to Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch on June 1, 2021.
Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunt is a first-person hunting simulator where you hunt the largest and most dangerous beasts to ever exist – DINOSAURS. The remaster of the classic dinosaur hunting video game, Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter, delivers a new game engine, improved graphics, advanced dinosaur behaviors, and seamless player progression.
Experience an out of this world hunting experience, as you track down and stalk dinosaurs! To survive you'll need to know your target’s temperament and mannerisms, and just like in real hunting, you need to be aware of your surroundings, because you don't want to be caught upwind of a T-Rex or you'll end up being lunch.
On your hunting adventure, you will visit beautiful but dangerous environments, each with their own unique Ecosystems. Explore the pristine beaches, dense jungles, rocky plains, and scorching deserts of planet FMM UV-32. Environments can be used to increase the odds of a successful hunt. You can follow trails and track animal footprints. Awareness of wind direction is important since some dinosaurs can smell you. Using stealth tactics or gaining the high ground will give you an edge over the more vicious dinosaurs roaming the planet.
Careful planning and consideration must be taken before every hunt including weapon choice. Will you use a high caliber rifle, sniper rifle, or a silent crossbow? Maybe bring along a sidearm just in case. One of the most important items you will need is your handheld M.I.S.T. (Mobile Interstellar Satellite Transponder), which includes radar and GPS satellite positioning to make tracking these beasts easier. There are other items you can bring on your hunt to improve your chances of survival such as Cover Scent, which masks your smell.

Dinos Reborn Features
Survive in the wild - In this world, the number of ways you can die and things that can kill you is essentially limitless. Hunger, thirst, fatigue – fail to manage them, and you're gone. An infected wound that you didn't take care of in time? Bye-bye! Poison spreading throughout your body? You'd better look for healing herbs and change your diet, or no one will ever hear from you again. All this without even mentioning the huge predators roaming the land. Be vigilant, mask your scent, use camouflage, keep quiet, find a good spot to hide, and maybe, maybe you'll make it 'til morning.
Explore the unknown - The world around you is as dangerous as it is beautiful and mysterious. Exploring vast amounts of the terrain might reveal more wonders and unexpected encounters than you would expect. It's up to you which direction to go next.
Develop your crafting skills - You begin on this unknown planet with only your bare hands, sticks, and stones. You need food, water, shelter, fire, medicine, weapons, and many other things if you want to stay alive. The catch – you need to do all of this yourself. Tools will lead you to weapons, weapons to food, food to strength, strength to the ability to build traps, snares, fortifications, shelters, and eventually an entire base. The last will be crucial to your survival, which is your ultimate goal.
Become a hunter - The rules of this planet are quite simple. Kill or be killed. Hunt or become prey. Eat or be eaten. Here, even the smallest insect can become the cause of your doom. Simultaneously, you will often encounter creatures that will tolerate or even like you. Discovering who is friend versus foe will be one of the most important tasks ahead of you.
Become a professional animal tracker - Learn how to sneak up on creatures. Analyze their tracks, observe their habits, look for their weak points, and find the best moment to attack. Remember that each animal has a different sense of smell, hearing, and sight. As an experienced hunter, you will be able to hunt at night, but so will the creatures hunting you, so you should be all eyes and ears at all times.
Fast learning will be your key to success - Forget about typical stat tables or character development trees. If you want to master a particular skill, you'll need first to learn it the old-fashioned way. That means reading books, tutorials, and notes, as well as observing and repeating the same actions over and over until you start performing them automatically.
Use the dynamically changing weather conditions to your advantage - For reasons unknown to you, the weather here is very unstable. It changes frequently, rapidly, and without any warning. Make sure you make the most of it. Move unnoticed and unheard in heavy rain. Use cloudless days for work. Avoid thick fog as it's easy to get lost in, and beware of thunderstorms that will try to destroy what you have built.
Developed by HardCodeWay and published on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC via STEAM by Vision Edge Entertainment, Dinos Reborn is expected to launch in 2022.
