What I Do

Dino Survival is a company dedicated to creating fun and engaging games for kids and families. Our first game, also called, Dino Survival, is all about how the Dinosaurs lived on this planet millions of years ago. This game is tons of fun whether you play it alone or with friends, and players can experience the most in groups of 3 to 4. Right now, Dino Survival only offers a Dinosaur card game, but work has begun on an expansion for the creatures that existed before them.

How I Do It

The Dino Survival team, right now is a single person, me! The owner and founder – David Hills. Though I’m Revenue Operations analyst by profession, I’ve always loved science and history. Specifically paleontology, geology, marine biology, astronomy and several topics that I don’t have active plans to make games for – yet! I design all the creature art myself, responsibly source background images, and research the Dinosaurs myself.

I’ve experimented with AI in this project, and for all its fanfare, AI for the most part has disappointed me. That said I want to continue to see how AI can help me and when I can expand the team, see how it can augment the abilities of future contributors. I believe our society is at crossroads on this topic and I want to be example of it can be used correctly and not for the sake of cutting out otherwise talented people.

Why I Do It

I set out it create a game that would be fun to play with my son and would also be fun to play on my own or his own. Family is the most important thing and education is one of the most impactful things any person can obtain. Whether that education is formal or informal, the ability to learn and the love it is one of the most important things children and adults should have. Right now I can provide any experience about Dinosaurs, but given the chance, I will create much more!
