Michael: Jurassic Explorer is a free fan project made by a small team of dedicated and growing artists. Tom: And what exactly is the ‘Jurassic Explorer’ project? Back then I believed Jurassic Park was a real park I could visit and I think that in part is one of the reasons Jurassic Explorer is so special to me now. The dinosaurs of course were a huge part of the experience but even back then, then locations and ‘Park’ side of things always interest me greatly. I think the first time I watched it was when I was around 4 years old. Like many of you, I grew up watching Jurassic Park as a kid. I’m a 3D Environment Artist and lead developer for Jurassic Explorer. Tom: So, Michael – for anyone who isn’t familiar with you, how did you get into Jurassic Park? We’re going to jump straight into an interview I got to do with Michael Pearce, the lead developer on the project, and then I’ll give you my thoughts at the end of this article.
Now, today, we are delighted to be discussing another awesome fan project which is in the works – Jurassic Explorer : Season 2. Last week, we discussed Jurassic World: Exodus – a fantastic fan film coming soon.
Jurassic June has passed, but the influx of fan projects continues.
