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.

* [[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.

* [[Life Cycle|Life-cycle]] - Gamemode 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 is coupled with a [[Talent tree|talent]] or skillpoint-based system, in which the player becomes more powerful in ways they can choose.

* [[Combat gamemode|Combat-based system]] - A player must successfully hunt and kill other players in order to gain points. Here, risk vs reward will very much be a factor as the larger the foe you down, the more reward you will gain.
+
</div>
  
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.
+
<center>[[File:Introduction.png|700x150px]]</center>
  
[[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.
+
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="{{int:show}}" data-collapsetext="{{int:hide}}">
  
[[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.
+
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.
  
Beasts Of Bermuda has 2 other game modes that will be added later.
+
'''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!]'''
+
 
[[Merit game mode|Merit-based system]] - It's a game mode where you choose pretty weak creatures and over time you earn merit points which will allow a number of you to choose other larger and more powerful creatures.
+
<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.
  
[[Realism game mode|Realism-based system]] - Allows server operators to set species limits for all creatures individually to create natural and realistically populated ecosystems.
+
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.  
  
== Where is Beasts of Bermuda in its development? ==
+
[[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.
  
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.
+
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.
  
As of October 4th, 2018, Beasts of Bermuda is still in a very early pre-release testing phase but has recently announced on their [https://store.steampowered.com/app/719890/Beasts_of_Bermuda/ steam page] that they hope to release the game in an early access state between late 2018 or early 2019. 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.

'''Current Gamemodes'''
  
[[File:719890 screenshots 20180923191026 1.jpg|right|thumb|400px|border|]]
+
* [[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]].
  
== What creatures are planned to be playable? ==
+
* [[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!
  
Currently, one can play as the following creatures in Beasts of Bermuda:
+
* [[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.
  
* [[Acrocanthosaurus]]
+
'''Regardless of the selected mode of play, settings may differ from server to server based on the owner's preferences.'''
* [[Apatosaurus]]
 
* [[Elasmosaurus]]
 
* [[Ichthyovenator]]
 
* [[Kronosaurus]]
 
* [[Lurdusaurus]]
 
* [[Megalosaurus]]
 
* [[Mosasaurus]]
 
* [[Oryctodromeus]]
 
* [[Pachycephalosaurus]]
 
* [[Parasaurolophus]]
 
* [[Pteranodon]]
 
* [[Saichania]]
 
* [[Tyrannosaurus rex]]
 
* [[Utahraptor]]
 
* [[Velociraptor]]
 
  
It is likely the following creatures will be playable due to our interest 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|flying creatures]], or [[Semiaquatic Creatures|semiaquatic]] animals.

this list will extend. You have a channel in the discord of the game to suggest dinos with unique abilities.
 
  
== What is unique about Beasts of Bermuda? ==
+
As of right now, there is no ETA on this as we are currently still focusing on improving the game.<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.
+
[[File:Divider.png|300x100px]]<br>
  
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.
+
''' Will Beasts of Bermuda have single-player support, or will it strictly be a multiplayer game? '''
  
The playable creatures in Beasts of Bermuda all have unique [[Abilities|abilities]] that differentiate them from othersSome 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.
+
Beasts of Bermuda is being created as a multiplayer gameIf a player wishes to do so, they can host a server and play alone, but multiplayer play is strongly encouraged.
 +
You can also see [[Dedicated Servers]].<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.
+
[[File:Divider.png|300x100px]]<br>
  
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.
+
''' Will there be Steam achievements? '''
  
== Why does Beasts of Bermuda need Donations? ==
+
Achievements will be available in-game upon the full release.<br>
  
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.

Introduction.png

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 hunger, thirst, 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 here!

What does Beasts of Bermuda have to offer?

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, semiaquatics offer a lifestyle that is different from traditional carnivores and marines, as they are both adept at swimming and running.

The game also has unique map elements. Whether you're seeking a cave to shelter from a storm, waiting for the tide to drop to walk safely to a new island, or migrating to avoid a forest fire or a depleted 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. Some can grab their prey, others can 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 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 stressed and can die. 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. Skins are completely customizable, allowing the user a free range of color choices, whether it be for camouflage or dazzle. Additionally, the talents mechanic allows players to choose their creature's specialties and spend points in different kinds of playstyles, such as extra health or speed.

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 and quench their thirst in the ever-changing environment. Different animals have different means of obtaining food. Some are carnivores who need to hunt and eat their fellow players to survive. Others are herbivores, and thus have more peaceful means of eating. Piscivores are capable of eating both other players and fish. Along with the necessities of day-to-day survival, mother nature is always at your heels with its unpredictable weather that keeps the game interesting to play.

Current Gamemodes

  • 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 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 Trial System.
  • 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!
  • 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.
