 "The Dinosaur RTS indie game where humans are still living among dinosaurs..."

Ok imma stop you there.

1) One Million Years B.C. (1966) was not a documentary

2) The fundies pushing that crap around the Square on Farmers Market Saturdays are pushing rapture bullshit and the world only being 6000 years old

Reframe that marketing pronto. 

"What if...humans...dinosaurs..."

My brain: drink ur sleepy tea and go to bed trust me you don't wanna be up all night about this shit

Me:  Fair. 
 @46cd5609 I mean, I am okay with this for funsies.  As long as we all understand it's pure fiction.

I mean, my favorite genre is sci Fi, and do you know how many sci Fi space universes have ftl but time travel isn't allowed?

I'm okay with bending or outright breaking the rules if it's a lighthearted fiction.

Hell in some of those sci fi universes they have capitalism with nanobot construction and space mining, you just kinda have to accept the stupidity. 
 @46cd5609 Come on now, don't be such a stick in the mud. Turok was a perfectly serviceable game. If we had to restrict all games to non-fiction settings they'd hardly be interesting enough for mass market adoption!
