Infos zum Spiel

An emergent, living world:

Development:

Game Modes:

• God: Manage the island ecology, change the weather, trigger devastating events, and see how the ecosystem adapts.
  
• Survival: Join the island as a stranded human, see how long you can survive as part of it, and how your body changes in the process.

World Features:

• Ecology simulation: the game simulates a Cretaceous ecosystem populated mainly by dinosaurs. Animals and plants don't "spawn"; they are born, grow, reproduce and die.
  
• DinoSystem uses a seasonal model that calculates day/night length, relative position of the sun, and influences the weather; seasons transition is totally gradual.
  
• Realistic weather model that takes into account variables like time of day, humidity, temperature, and pressure; generating weather conditions like rain, snow, wind, sand/snowstorms, thunderstorm and fog.
  
• Thunders can trigger wildfires, which can burn down entire forests.
  
• Realistic water cycle: rain creates puddles that can either evaporate or grow into ponds and lakes. Evaporation takes into account air humidity, temperature and sun exposure.
  
• Terrain changes according to factors like presence of water, weather, vegetation, and location. Any area can become fertile or arid, new forest or grasslands may form or disappear over time.
  
• Fire (from torches to campfires and wildfires) consumes available fuel, releasing heat and light, and it's influenced by air humidity and wind; you body and all objects near a fire are heated up. Fire can spread to nearby vegetation and trigger a wildfire, if ambient conditions are favourable.
  
• Animals AI allows them to survive in their world and adapt; they'll reproduce, care for their youngs, look for protection or compete for food and mating.
  
• Each new island is generated at game start, based on parameters set by the player.
  
• Everything, from dead animals to branches, decomposes based on factors like temperature, humidity, and location. There is no "timer" after which an item or a carcass disappears.

Survival Features:

• Deep, complex and rewarding character progression system: metabolism, body muscles and fat change according to your lifestyle, and your character's sprite changes in appearance to reflect this. Get fat to survive winter, get slim to be lighter and swifter, or get muscular to be stronger in combat and more capable of hard work, but make sure to eat enough proteins.
  
• Needs like thirst and hunger are not just bars that drop at a constant rate: everything, from performing actions to metabolism and body weight, influence the rate at which you burn calories, consume water or get tired. For example, high temperature or intense activity make you sweat, requiring you to drink more water. Also, you won't die directly by malnutrition, but as you starve you lose fat, until you become too weak and eventually die from the elements.
  
• Dozens of skills, both mental and physical, that raise as you perform the related action; but can also decay if you don't practice them for a long time.
  
• Crafting/Building system allowing you to create items, clothing, weapons, as well as build your own shelter (unless you find a cave..).
  
• Foods with different nutrition values: meat is valuable because of proteins, but make sure you cook it...
