| − | In Beasts of Bermuda, you play as a prehistoric creature native to the mysterious islands of Bermuda: a tropical ecosystem absent from any human contact. With its proneness to storms, forest fires and shifting tides, Bermuda is an ever-changing ecosystem.
| |
| − | Choose from up to 18 playable creatures, herbivore or carnivore, and battle your way through the severities of [[Food|hunger]], [[Thirst|thirst]], [[Comfort|stress]] and predation, which constantly threaten your survival. Play whatever suits you best, whether it be a flying, swimming or running creature, and thrive the lands.

| + | <center>[[File:Divider.png|300x100px]]</center><br> |
| | | | |
| − | 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 [[Weather|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, and there are many fun [[mechanics]] to enjoy.
| + | </div></center><br><br> |
| | | | |
| − | 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 [[Skin Customization|skins]] or the [[Talent tree|talent]] mechanic, it'll be hard to get two dinos exactly alike. This also adds a unique aspect to the game when it comes to breeding and offspring; offspring will be mixtures of their parent's corresponding skins and colors as well as occasionally sporting leucistic or melanistic traits.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Many different challenges are always present on the islands of Bermuda that threaten survival. One must find [[Food|food]] and quench their [[Thirst]] in an ever changing environment. Different animals the player can choose from having 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. Along with the necessities from day to day survival mother nature is always at your heels with unpredictable [[Weather]] keeping the game interesting and entertaining to play.

| | | | |
| − | * [[Sandbox Gamemode|Sandbox]] - 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.

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.

| − | == Where is Beasts of Bermuda in its development? ==
| + | </div> |
| − | | |
| − | 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The development team has recently announced on their [https://store.steampowered.com/app/719890/Beasts_of_Bermuda/ steam page] that Beasts of Bermuda will be releasing on December 21st, 2018. Also within their steam page, is their patch notes where you can read in detail what new mechanics have been implemented. The best way, however, to keep up with development is to join their discord here: https://discord.gg/KZKzGTT where you can ask the Devs in the appropriate channels about the current build of the game.

| − | == 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 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.
