| − | Beasts of Bermuda is a multiplayer game hosting large servers in which the player becomes a dinosaur or other prehistoric creature. The player becomes part of a living, player-created ecosystem. The ultimate objective is to survive on one of the islands within Bermuda, an enigmatic island chain constantly threatened by fierce storms and haunted by ancient beasts. [[Food|Hunger]], [[Thirst|thirst]], [[Comfort|stress]], and predation constantly threaten your survival.

| − | == What is the Objective of Beasts of Bermuda? ==
| + | <center>This wiki currently has [[Special:Statistics|'''{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles''']] and [[Special:Statistics|'''{{NUMBEROFFILES}} files''']]'''</center><br> |
| | | | |
| − | Currently our game only has one mode of play, Free Roam. In this mode, the player can select any creature to play as without cost or punishment for death. In this mode, the objective is what you make of it. There are many different objectives players frequently take on, be it achieving a high score, taking down others in combat, exploring the map, or herding up and socializing. This mode offers a relaxed atmosphere in which the player can do as they wish. We've been discussing additional game modes due to interest and feedback among our community, and we have a few ideas we would like to implement.
| + | <center>[[File:Divider.png|300x100px]]</center><br> |
| | | | |
| − | * Life-cycle based leveling in which the player starts as a juvenile of any species they wish and continues to grow, becoming more powerful over time in a multiplayer environment. Gradual [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontogeny ontogeny] is also a feature under this category that adds to the realism aspect of growing from a juvenile to an adult; eventually, accompanying model changes differentiating younger members of different species from their older counterparts. This mode would likely be coupled with a talent or skillpoint-based system, in which the player becomes more powerful in ways they can choose.

| | | | |
| − | * Merit-based system in which the player earns the right to play increasingly powerful creatures by earning [[Survival Points|survival points]]. [[Food|Well-fed]], [[Thirst|hydrated]], and [[Comfort|comfortable]] creatures gain survival points much more rapidly in such a system. Growth is also impacted by the aforementioned statuses that contribute to gaining Survival points i.e. comfortable and well-fed creatures grow at a faster rate than a malnourished and stressed dinosaur.

| | | | |
| − | * Combat-based system in which a player must successfully hunt and kill other players in order to gain the right to play larger and more powerful creatures. Here, risk vs reward will very much be a factor as the larger the foe you down, the more reward you will gain.
| + | </div></center><br><br> |
| | | | |
| − | Regardless of the selected mode of play, many different challenges are always present on the islands of Bermuda that threaten survival. One must find [[Food|food]] in order to survive. Different animals the player can choose from have different means of obtaining food. Some are [[Carnivorous Creatures|carnivores]], needing to hunt and eat other players to survive. Other creatures are [[Herbivorous Creatures|herbivores]], and thus have a more peaceful means of eating. [[Piscivorous Creatures|Piscivores]] are a mix, being capable of eating other players, or eating [[Fish|fish]] for survival.
| |
| | | | |
| − | [[Thirst]] is another element of survival in Beasts of Bermuda. A need as simple as visiting [[Freshwater Lakes|lakes]] can become very difficult under certain conditions. Lakes can be drunk dry. Due to depleting water sources and competition, the hunt for water may not be easy during certain times. While not currently in-game, droughts are planned.
| |
| | | | |
| − | [[Weather|Storms]] are a major threat to survival. These events are much more than just graphics, as rain, wind, lightning, and surging seas can turn an island paradise into chaos. | + | <center><div style="border-radius:25px 25px 25px 25px;padding:10px;color:white;"> |

| − | == Where is 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 is still very much under development. Future development will likely focus on expanding our playable creature roster, improving the quality of our graphics, models, and general assets, and then implementing additional game modes beyond Free Roam.

| − | == What is unique about Beasts of Bermuda? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Beasts of Bermuda offers the experience of playing in unique niches as aquatic, flight-based, or terrestrial creatures. Piscivores offer a different lifestyle to traditional carnivores, the creatures of which are often very adept at [[Swimming|swimming]], even if also quite capable on land.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It also offers unique map elements. Whether you're exploring a cave while taking shelter from a [[Weather|storm]], watching the [[Tidal System|tide]] drop to safely cross to a new island, or migrating to avoid a [[Forest Fires|forest fire]] or depleted [[Freshwater Lakes|watering hole]], the map is always changing and the world is alive.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The playable creatures in Beasts of Bermuda all have unique [[Abilities|abilities]] that differentiate them from others. Some can [[Grabbing|grab]], others can [[Pouncing|pounce]] and latch. Some can sense a weak opponent or warn a herd of a lurking predator, and others can climb to escape danger. Every animal is different in Beasts of Bermuda, very much so, and a lot of effort has been put in to ensure every creature added fulfills a unique niche.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A unique resource in the form of [[Comfort|comfort]] offers a totally new way to design mechanics and shape gameplay. Carnivores in close proximity to herbivores will stress each other out, resulting in various gameplay disadvantages or even death should the stress become extreme. Carnivores are only comforted by their own kind, becoming stressed in the prolonged presence of different species. Map elements, in particular storms and massive storm surges, will also cause stress. Maintaining a low level of stress (we call it comfort) is a major aspect of survival in Beasts of Bermuda.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Beast of Bermuda also give players the ability to customize themselves, be it through skins or the talent mechanic, it'll be hard to get two dinos exactly alike.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Why does Beasts of Bermuda need Donations? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Beasts of Bermuda needs funds to commission and contract professionals for services related to modeling, animating, sound creation, skin design, level design, and just overall improvements. Up to this point, the game has been created by Predatoria and Vipe, two indie developers focused on the coding behind the game, with freelance contribution from several [[Contributors|contributors]]. Most of our current models are from asset stores and we want to replace them goal 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.
