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...

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.
A classroom full of utahraptors. Sawyer, one of the dinosaurs, is in the center, excited to answer a question. The other utahraptors around her are not as focused and seem annoyed by Sawyer's enthusiasm.

We wanted to make battles a bit more challenging... so we've been gearing up the poachers to cause problems.

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:

"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."

We've discovered a crash that's fairly common when an enemy in the second phase of the second battle takes their turn under certain conditions. Working on a hotfix!

The Clever Girls Demo releases tomorrow! To share our excitement, have a no-context screenshot from one of the demo's scenes:
A visual-novel style screenshot from the game Clever Girls. Prati and Shade, two dinosaurs, are speaking. Prati looks shocked. Shade looks smug. The dialogue in the image reads as such: 

SHADE: "There are skeletons within all of us, Prati. Us dinosaurs should be especially aware of this."

DINOSAURS REAL!!! Demo release date: August 7th! The Clever Girls DEMO will be playable on Steam Aug. 7th! We're calling it a "Dress Rehearsal", so it won't have every mechanic the full game will, but it should have enough for you to find out if you're interested! #clevergirls

Lending a helping (and not so helping) hand... Concept art for Clever Girls !
A colorful ornithomimid stands on the snout of a much larger yellow-green and orange megalosaurid, reaching up to the top of a warehouse shelf to grab a plush ceratopsian. In the foreground, a dromaeosaurid struggles and fails to jump to reach the same plushies.

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 demo for Clever Girls is coming along! We're currently working on polishing up our battle UI. We just added rebind-aware control prompts, that can also detect if you switch between gamepad or mouse+keyboard.

Heya! Look at our game Clever Girls: It's like reverse Jurassic Park! You play as dinosaurs that break out of their enclosures on a remote island. It's a 3D turn-based tactical RPG / VN with colorful characters and relationship-management mechanics with an all-female cast. Wishlist it on Steam!
