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 and full of prehistoric life. With its propensity to storms and shifting tides, wildfires and even tornados, the Bermuda is an ever-changing ecosystem.
 
Choose from several creatures, including terrestrials, flyers, aquatics or semi-aquatics, 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 piscivor or even an omnivore 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 experience. Check out its Steam page [https://store.steampowered.com/app/719890/Beasts_of_Bermuda/ here!]'''
 
 
 
<center>[[File:Divider.png|300x100px]]</center>
 
 
 
<center><span style="font-size:200%>'''What does Beasts of Bermuda have to offer?'''</span></center><br>
 
 
 
Beasts of Bermuda offers the experience of playing in unique niches as an (semi-)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.
 
 
 
[[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. Train here to improve your chances of survival or just have fun!
 
 
 
* [[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.'''

<center><span style="font-size:200%>'''Where is Beasts of Bermuda in its development?'''</span></center><br>
 
 
 
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.

Oops, something's missing!
It looks like this page is missing something - or maybe a lot of things! Beasts of Bermuda, despite its recent player increase, has had a very loyal following that didn't require a Wiki for the most part because of how tight-knit its community is. This means this Wiki has gone unmaned for a while now! Fear not, however, for there are still many resources out there while we try to update this site, such as our New Player Guide or the Official Discord Server. See you out there on the islands!
