I also want kong to win in 2020 i saw that you did on your king kong mod. Even though i like godzilla more kong has to win. Thanks, you seem to be one of the only paleo creators on gmod.
Your work is much appreciated as i love dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. Thanks for all the good work and the blood and sweat you put into this for us to enjoy.
I play on a potato mac os x and i can't imagine it being able to import a model since it crashes gmod with wifi on. I can't imagine how hard this is. All the hours you put in, it seems like you've dedicated your life to this.
I'm not saying thats a bad thing but, i cant find much else the only other dino packs are well. Dinosaur snpcs.
And thats about it. Thanks much there is no actual ice age/paleocene addons. I know this was a bit long but keep up the good work. Have a great day.
