Hi there! My name is UpFromTheDepths, or you can just call me Depths for short! I love making cinematics in dinosaur games and I'm the mastermind behind PALEO ARK, a episodic epic following the lives of Dinosaurs in the game ARK: Survival Evolved! Check out my stuff won't you?!

Oh I forgot about community posts. Whoopsies.

Hey y'all. Been very busy since I started working at Wildcard. Works great. Got my dream job. Been doing better as of late.
If you're not in my Discord (which ya should be! I got a link in my latest video's description) here's some concept art by my team members of dinosaur TLC/overhauls we're tackling in the near future. There's no release dates set for them as this is just a hobby, and we work on things when we can.
I still wanna return to making Paleo ARK episodes one day. I miss it dearly. But between working on ARK for trailers and modding it I have very little free time outside of that. God I have a whole storyline written out, and what I've learned through modding I could take the episodes even further than I ever could. Maybe one day that'll change...
Thanks for being by my side. Last year was really, really bad as we lost two of our dogs, one from old age (It hurt but it was expected, I managed fo cope with it) but my other got cancer and passed right after his 5th birthday. It was a traumatic experience to go through, and I'm still not quite right in the head from dealing with it. We're coming up in a year and it's still as hard as the day I lost him. I'll be doing an in remembrance of video soon
But despite all that, I'm still here, still surviving. Need to keep marching forward. I'm stronger than I ever was

DarkEdgeTV has joined the Paleo ARK team (Quite a bit ago actually) and she and a bunch of wonderfully talented people are working on some HUGE plans for Paleo ARK on ASA! We updated the Giga AGAIN with new textures and animations and we're planning on releasing it and our Rex TLC in the coming days!
Paleo ARK will be free on ARK: Survival Ascended for PC and console players, and the cinematic series will be returning in the near future. Look for the mark of Paleo ARK!

You guys are long-overdue for an update video. If I have free time I'll make one talking about what's happening with Paleo ARK next year in regards to the mod and other stuff.
Few things I wanna address
Paleo ARK (Mod)
-Coming to ARK: Survival Ascended in the coming weeks
-The ARK: Survival Evolved version of the mod is no longer being updated because we're focusing on ASA
-More variants, Evotyrannus (now "Evo Rex") and Evo Giga TLCs
-TLCs! MORE TLCS! We're working on a Mosasaur and it looks incredible! Plesiosaur too! So much more stuff!
-New species! Seismosaurus! Diabloceratops! Empirosaurus (A fictional Spinosaur species) and lots more too!
Paleo ARK (Cinematic series)
-Continuing in 2024
-Was waiting for ARK: Survival Ascended to drop to continue
-Soft-reboot of sorts (Previous episodes are still canon!) and the story will continue. It's a jumping-on point for new viewers!
-Episodic series

Now you guys know why I held off on making Paleo ARK episodes when they announced ARK: Survival Ascended
The episodes are coming back, don't you worry. The story will continue. And the Paleo ARK mod will be ported over to Ascended for both PC and console users
This is the beginning of a new era...

Hey this is a very polite reminder to stop using my content in your YouTube shorts/TikTok videos without permission and without properly crediting me.
I have already filed copyright claims before on channels/TikTok accounts (and they did go through successfully) and I intend on doing it again. You wanna make ARK content? Film your own stuff or use official ARK videos, instead of leeching off of other content creators. It's incredibly disrespectful and I didn't pour countless hours of my time effort and money into making my own videos just so someone can rip them off and do a montage with some crap trap remix beat

Hey guys! I thought I'd finally share some good news
I have been hired by Studio Wildcard! I wanted to announce it on here for when I made my first video with them. My first task was to make a trailer for the updated version of the Switch and I think I did a pretty good job!
I'll make a video with a proper announcement soon enough when I have some free time. And don't worry, Paleo ARK both the cinematics and the mod will continue to be worked on! They're not going anywhere! Thank all 53.4 THOUSAND of you for the love and support since this journey began five years ago. You all believed in me and pushed me to the best version of me that I could be, and I can't thank you all enough. I am happy to have inspired people with my work, and I hope that all you go on to do great things!

Hey guys! Been a hot minute. Hope y'all are having a wonderful summer (Or winter where you are)
Sorry for the inactivity. Modding's taking up alot of my time. The Paleo ARK Expansion mod has become super popular. I'll have more to show of it on the channel soon, plus some paleo ark episodes + mod trailers in the near future
For now, enjoy this pic of the Paleo ARK Giganotosaurus! New model, new animations, new everything! This will be coming to the Paleo ARK mod in August.
