== What is Beasts of Bermuda? ==

Beasts of Bermuda is a survival game in which you play as a prehistoric creature native to the mysterious islands of Bermuda: a tropical ecosystem absent from human contact. With its propensity to storms and shifting tides, Bermuda is an ever-changing ecosystem.
Choose from up to 15 of the currently available creatures, and battle your way through the severity of [[Food|hunger]], [[Thirst|thirst]], [[Comfort|stress]], and predation, all of which are aspects that pose as constant threats to your survival. Play as whichever creature suits you the best, be it an herbivore, a carnivore, a marine, or a flyer, and learn to thrive on the islands of Bermuda.

The game is currently under development and was first released on December 21st, 2018 as a primarily multiplayer server experience. Check out its Steam page [https://store.steampowered.com/app/719890/Beasts_of_Bermuda/ here!]

== What do Beasts of Bermuda have to offer? ==

Beasts of Bermuda offers the experience of playing in unique niches as an aquatic, flying, or terrestrial creature. Certain creatures specialize in unique gameplay. For instance, [[Semiaquatic Creatures|semiaquatics]] offer a lifestyle that is different from traditional carnivores and marines, as they are both adept at [[Swimming|swimming]] and running.

The game also has unique map elements. Whether you're seeking a cave to shelter from a [[Weather|storm]], waiting for the [[Tidal System|tide]] to drop to walk safely to a new island, or migrating to avoid a [[Weather|forest fire]] or a depleted [[Freshwater Lakes|water source]], the map is always changing around you and feeling alive.

The playable creatures in Beasts of Bermuda all have their own unique [[Abilities|abilities]]. Some can [[Grabbing|grab]] their prey, others can [[Pouncing|pounce]] large distances, and some can even climb up walls. Every animal is different in Beasts of Bermuda, and a lot of effort has been put into making the [[mechanics]] unique and enjoyable.
[[File:Sunsetrexy.jpg|right|thumb|400px|border|]]

[[Comfort|Comfort]] is a unique mechanic that determines how healthy your creature is. At its highest peak, a creature can grow well, but at its lowest, a creature becomes [[Comfort|stressed]] and can die. [[Comfort|Stress]] can be caused by (but is not limited to) over-eating, staying near ungrouped creatures, and exposure to harsh storms.

Beasts of Bermuda give players free reign over how they look. [[Skin Customization|Skins]] are completely customizable, allowing the user a free range of color choices, whether it be for camouflage or dazzle. Additionally, the [[Talent tree|talents]] mechanic allows players to choose their creature's specialties and spend points in different kinds of playstyles, such as extra health or speed.

[[Nesting system|Breeding]] is also an available mechanic; offspring will receive a mixture of their parents' corresponding skins and colors, as well as occasionally sporting mutations of the leucistic, melanistic, and wildcard varieties. Offspring will receive inherits based on their parents' talent trees.

Many different challenges are always present in Beasts of Bermuda. One must find [[Food|food]] and quench their [[Thirst|thirst]] in the ever-changing environment. Different animals have different means of obtaining food. Some are [[Carnivorous Creatures|carnivores]] who need to hunt and eat their fellow players to survive. Others are [[Herbivorous Creatures|herbivores]], and thus have more peaceful means of eating. [[Piscivorous Creatures|Piscivores]] are capable of eating both other players and [[Fish|fish]]. Along with the necessities of day-to-day survival, mother nature is always at your heels with its unpredictable [[Weather|weather]] that keeps the game interesting to play.

'''Current Gamemodes'''

* [[Life Cycle|Life-cycle]] - This is the nominal game mode, and by far the most popular. The player begins as a juvenile of any species and grows over time, becoming more powerful the bigger they get. Eventually, accompanying model changes will differentiate younger members from their older counterparts. This mode is coupled with a [[Talent tree|talent]] or point-based system, in which the player becomes more powerful in the skills they choose. An additional aspect of this game mode is the work-in-progress [[Trials|Trial System]].

* [[Combat gamemode|Combat]] - This game mode involves constant battling. Players will spawn as adult creatures and can kill other players to gain ever-increasing points. When you die, a percentage of your points are transferred to your killer.

* [[Freeroam|Free Roam]] - In this game mode, the player can select any creature to play without the cost of punishment for death. This mode offers a relaxed atmosphere in which the player can do as they wish. Players tend to join this game mode to socialize, explore, or fight.

'''Regardless of the selected mode of play, settings may differ from server to server based on the owner's preferences.'''

== Where are Beasts of Bermuda in its development? ==

Beasts of Bermuda began development on January 16th, 2017. Currently, the game offers a fully functional game world with many combat mechanics and map-based survival elements already in place. Make no mistake, our game is still pre-release and very much under development. Future development will likely focus on expanding the playable creature roster, improving the quality of the graphics, models, general assets, and then implementing additional game modes.

The game was released on Dec 21st, 2018 on the game's [https://store.steampowered.com/app/719890/Beasts_of_Bermuda/ steam page]. Within their steam page are the game's patch notes where you can read in detail what new mechanics have been implemented. However, the best way to keep up with development is to join the official Beasts of Bermuda discord (https://discord.gg/jYaRG5X), where you can ask the developers in the appropriate channels about the current build of the game.

There is a chance that the following creatures will be playable due to the interest of the developers in expanding the niches available to players in Beasts of Bermuda. Many of these animals are selected due to their unique niches or ability to utilize certain gameplay mechanics. Many are [[Piscivorous Creatures|piscivores]], [[Aquatic Creatures|aquatics]], [[Flying Creatures|flyers]], or [[Semiaquatic Creatures|semiaquatic creatures.]]

'''Carnivores:''' 
Carnotaurus 
(One of) Sarcosuchus, Deinosuchus, Purussaurus (SA) 
Nothosaurus (SA) 
Yangchuanosaurus 
Carcharodontosaurus/Yutyrannus (having one does not mean we won't get the other later)

== Why do Beasts of Bermuda need Donations? ==

Beasts of Bermuda needs funds to commission and contract professionals for services related to modeling, animating, sound design, skin design, level design, and overall improvements to the game. Up to this point, the game has been worked on by Predatoria and Vipe, two indie developers focused on the coding behind the game, with freelance contributions from several [[Contributors|contributors]]. Most of our current models are from asset stores, and we want to replace them with professional models. To bring our game to the next level of quality, we need to network with professionals in all departments of game design rather than just indefinitely coding more mechanics into the game, which requires funding neither of us can afford to do.

Donations are not open at this moment.

== FAQ ==

TheDva1trick: /* Sleeping */

Resting is a [[Mechanics|mechanic]] that allows players to become temporarily vulnerable in exchange for receiving many regenerative benefits. In order to rest, a player must press the [[Keybinding|Rest Key]] while standing still and performing no other actions. The player will sit down. If the Rest Key is pressed again while sitting, the player will fall asleep, entering a more intense state of resting. In order to get up, pressing the jump or forwards key will allow the player to get back up onto their feet. Sleeping always grants stronger benefits than just sitting down.

A player must be cautious when deciding when and where to rest, as it comes with a drawback. While sitting, a player is unable to perform many actions. Most notably, they cannot move or attack. One exception to this is the [[Apatosaurus]], which can still use its [[Tail Whip|tail whip]] attack while sitting. No creatures are able to perform any actions while asleep, with the exception of waking back up. The amount of time it takes to wake up, and then stand up, can be several seconds long, potentially presenting an opportunity for attack.

== Benefits of Resting ==

[[File:719890 screenshots 20181008122002 1.jpg|right|thumb|400px|border| A [[Velociraptor]] resting.]]

*Resting rapidly increases the rate at which [[Health|HP]] regenerates.
*Resting moderately increases the rate at which [[Stamina|stamina]] regenerates.
*Resting moderately increases the rate at which [[Ability|ability power]] regenerates.
*Resting rapidly increases the rate at which [[Comfort|comfort]] returns to its [[Comfort Bias|neutral point]], as long comfort is lower than the neutral point.
*Resting rapidly increases the rate at which [[Injury|injuries]] heal.
*Resting is the ONLY efficient way to quickly heal [[Bleeding|bleeding]].

==Sleeping==

In addition to resting, there is also sleeping. It does all of the same functions as resting, but more effectively.

By clicking the [[Resting|resting]] key another time, you can go into sleeping.
*To get out of sleeping, click the [[Resting|resting]] key again.

]]

=== Overview ===

The Apatosaurus is a playable [[Herbivorous_Creatures|herbivorous]] creature in Beasts of Bermuda, as well as the [[Size|largest]] playable creature.

Being big, however, requires a big appetite, and so the Apatosaurus must consume at a very frequent rate. Fortunately, it's not a picky eater: Its diet consists of almost any kind of plant, and it can even consume trees as an adult. It also must drink copious amounts of water, and this sometimes causes it to sip entire ponds dry!

Thanks to its immense bulk, the Apatosaurus has superb resistance to harsh weather and boasts the highest amount of [[Health|HP]] in the game, as well as being able to attack from any angle with incredible knockback and [[Damage|damage]], making it '''VERY''' hard to for any predator to kill. This effectively discourages almost every predator from attacking it in the first place, letting the Apatosaurus live a generally peaceful and undisturbed adult life.

_________________________________________________________

=== Pros and Cons ===

'''Pros''':

+ Titanic health pool

+ Incredible damage output

+ High weather resistance

+ Can back up

+ Can shelter herd-mates

'''Cons''':

- Moderately slow

- Is somewhat vulnerable when young

- Requires a lot of time to grow

- Leaves a large and easily detectable trail of smell

- Can do very little against groups of carnivores

_________________________________________________________

=== Abilities ===

*'''[[Primary Attack|Primary Attack]]:''' The Apatosaurus rears up, then stomps the ground, severely damaging nearby creatures or killing them instantly. You cannot move whilst performing this attack (''unless you have invested in the '''Turn while stomping''' talent)''.

*'''[[Secondary Attack|Secondary Attack]]:''' A tail whip attack, which is much more reliable than its stomp attack. This attack should be the primary means of defense for the Apatosaurus. Hold Rick Click to coil up the Apatosaurus' tail. When released, the tail will shoot forwards and crack like a whip, dealing great damage and heavy [[Knockback|knockback]] to anything it hits. ''Keep in mind that for every second the tail is coiled up, ability power is drained, so don't hold it on for too long or you might end up draining too much ability power!''

[[File:BeautifulGlimmer.png|thumb|A beautiful [[Exclusive skins|glimmer]] Apatosaurus watches the horizon.]]

'''Unique Attribute #1:''' The Apatosaurus possesses the highest [[Weather Resistance|weather resistance]] of any [[Terrestrial Creatures|terrestrial]] creature. It is also capable of granting some of its weather resistance to nearby [[Groups|herd members]] through talents, effectively making the Apatosaurus a 'walking shelter'. The Apatosaurus is also immune to tornados at the growth of 0.8.

'''Unique Attribute #2:''' When the Apatosaurus walks, its huge footsteps knock nearby creatures out of its way.

'''Unique Attribute #3:''' The Apatosaurus is capable of walking backwards. This is to prevent attackers from hiding under its hind legs, which are not in range of the whip attack. Walking backwards will cause them to be knocked back and into the range of the whip attack. In order to walk backwards, a player must toggle the crouch [[Keybind|keybind]].

_________________________________________________________

=== Weakness ===

The Apatosaurus's huge size causes it to walk at a lumbering pace. It is in fact the slowest creature in the game, and most creatures are able to out-speed it simply by walking. Thus, fast creatures can give it a hard time by performing hit-and-run tactics on it. A [[Utahraptor]] pack is able to pull this off quite decently.

Additionally, large carnivores such as the [[Acrocanthosaurus]] can inflict serious bleed damage to an Apatosaurus, as well as survive multiple tail whip attacks, making it a threat to the Apatosaurus.

Their primary physical weakness is their neck. This can be attacked easily if held out in front of them, allowing predators an easy bite without risking the stomp attack. Apatosaurus may counter this by holding the "Alt" key to raise its head to the degree it desires-all other creatures can actually do this as well.

Despite this, the Apatosaurus still remains a very dangerous creature to fight, and it is not uncommon to see an Apatosaurus completely overwhelm its opponent.

Apatosaurus, when being attacked by groups of 2-3 carnivores, is almost completely powerless. Use pack tactics to your advantage and know their weak spots.

[[File:Apatopair.png|right|thumb|400px|border|A pair of Apatosaurus migrating for food during sunrise. ]]

_________________________________________________________

=== Additional Notes ===

* The Apatosaurus can be a very effective creature for deliberately [[Beaching|beaching]] any [[Aquatic Creatures|aquatic creatures]] in a lake.

* Implementation of the tail-whip mechanic was claimed to be one of the most difficult mechanics to program, second only to Oryctodromeus' burrows.

* Apatosaurus can use terrain as an advantage to win against predators.
