What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Prior to launching on Early Access, we ran 3 highly successful beta testing phases alongside our growing community that proved invaluable in helping us ensure DUCKSIDE was able to reach an Early Access launch state. With Early Access, we have the opportunity to bring even more players into the DUCKSIDE Archipelago and expand the game even further with community feedback and suggestions helping to shape our development plan and direction.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We don’t have an exact amount of time in mind at this stage, as plans and timelines will obviously shift throughout the early access phase while we work with our players to map out the best direction for the game, but we expect DUCKSIDE to be in Early Access for around 12 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“DUCKSIDE is expected to evolve and grow significantly over the course of Early Access, with new weapons, mod tools, modded servers, missions, cosmetic options, visual improvements, map evolutions/expansions, new servers and more already either under discussion or in development.

Alongside that, we will aim to release numerous updates developed solely around community feedback and suggestions in between major content updates to ensure a consistent, regular update schedule and a focus on community oriented development.

A comprehensive living roadmap is available and will be updated regularly over the course of Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is in a fully playable state, featuring near final versions of all core mechanics and gameplay systems. DUCKSIDE currently has a fully open world, a comprehensive base building/crafting system, human AI, numerous missions, in-game events, hundreds of items, tools, weapons and crafting materials and a full day/night system.

More will be added over the course of Early Access and all of the above will continue to be iterated upon and improved following player feedback.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The game's price may increase upon full release following the implementation of all of our planned roadmap content and other additions to the game. However anyone who purchases DUCKSIDE during Early Access will not be affected by any price changes.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will be working closely with our players throughout the early access campaign, collecting their feedback through our Discord, Steam Forums, Surveys and social media to ensure a collaborative effort during this stage of the games development.

Player feedback has already had an incredible impact on DUCKSIDEs development to date, and we look forward to continuing to improve the game alongside our community!”

About This Game

Welcome to DUCKSIDE: persistent world survival... on QUACK

Over 10 million ducks get killed per year by hunters, a statistic that would be much lower if ducks were combat trained. Enter DUCKSIDE, a persistent world survival game like DayZ or Rust… but you’re a duck, and so is everybody else!!

It’s a hard Duck life

Wake up at the quack of dawn and put those webbed feet to use or take flight across an expansive island, where valuable resources and egg-citing treasures await any lucky duckys fortunate enough to discover them.

Are you a chicken? No, you’re a DUCK.

DUCKSIDE isn't just about surviving; it’s about getting into the mind of a duck. Being a duck. Feeling the cold steel of a machine gun on your feathers. The heat of a grenade exploding next to you. And the peace of mind that comes with settling down after a long day, in a house you built out of trash that you’d looted off some guy's corpse. Don’t be a chicken, be a firequacker.

Get your ducks in a row

Harvest resources, craft weapons and tools, and build shelters to protect your loot and your life.

How do Ducks even hold weapons and tools, you ask? Who cares silly goose? With a crafting system as deep and robust as this, they were wise to adapt, else they’d just be hanging around in ponds all day waiting to be added to that “10 million” statistic.

The sky(box) is the limit

Are you really a Duck if you can’t fly? No, you’re a penguin or something. So yes, you CAN fly; we’ve introduced an egg-cellent player controller with sophisticated flight mechanics allowing you to glide, hover, accelerate and dive, even whilst shooting and fighting!

A world of fowl play

An alive Duck can keep his gear safe and his teammates alive.. A dead duck however, is much less useful. Afterall - birds of a feather stay together.

Don’t be a duckling - get yourself equipped, build nests for safety, storage, survival, and strategic advantage, but be warned: nothing is truly safe. Every structure can be destroyed, every stash of loot raided, and every migration could end in death.

There’s no such thing as too many ducks

Play alone or create a flock with other ducks to build, explore, fight, and survive together. Ducks are fiercely territorial, so encounters with opposing ducks can and will often result in some feathers being ruffled.

ARE YOU GONNA BE A SITTING DUCK, OR A BIRD OF PREY?
