| − | 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, piscivores offer a different lifestyle to traditional carnivores as they are both adept at [[Swimming|swimming]] and running.

| − | It also offers unique map elements. Whether you're seeking a cave for shelter from a [[Weather|storm]], waiting for the [[Tidal System|tide]] to drop in order to walk across to a new island, or migrating to avoid a [[Weather|forest fire]] (currently unimplemented) 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 their own unique [[Abilities|abilities]]. Some can [[Grabbing|grab]] their prey, others can [[Pouncing|pounce]] massive distances. Some can even climb up walls. Large carnivores can sniff for prey, and herbivores have special bonuses for herding together. Every animal is different in Beasts of Bermuda, and a lot of effort has been put into making the [[mechanics]] enjoyable.

| − | [[Comfort|Comfort]] is a unique mechanic that determines how healthy your creature is. At its highest peak, a creature can grow well and healthy. At low comfort, however, a creature becomes [[Comfort|stressed]] and may die. [[Comfort|Stress]] can be caused by (but causes are not limited to) standing near too many carnivores, exposure to a harsh storm, or over-eating.

| | | | |
| − | Beasts of Bermuda also gives players free choice of how they want to look. [[Skin Customization|Skins]] are completely customizable, allowing the player a free range of color choices, whether it be for camouflage or dazzle. Additionally, the [[Talent tree|talent]] mechanic lets a player choose their creature's specialties and spend points into different kinds of play styles, such as extra health or speed.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Breeding is also available; offspring will be mixtures of their parent's corresponding skins and colors as well as occasionally sporting mutations of the leucistic, melanistic, and wildcard varieties. They also inherit some of the talents of their parents.

| − | Many different challenges are always present on the islands of Bermuda that threaten survival. One must find [[Food|food]] and quench their [[Thirst]] in the 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.

| − | * [[Life Cycle|Life-cycle]] - This is the nominal game mode, and by far the most popular. The player must begin as a juvenile of any species and grow over time, becoming more powerful and eventually competing with other players. 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 is coupled with a [[Talent tree|talent]] or skill point-based system, in which the player becomes more powerful in ways they can choose. An additional aspect of this game mode is the currently work-in-progress Trial System.

| − | == 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 very much under development. Future development will likely focus on expanding our playable creature roster, improving the quality of our graphics, models, general assets, and then implementing additional gamemodes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The game 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 [https://discord.gg/KZKzGTT/ discord], where you can ask the developers 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 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 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.
