The Riftbreaker: Prologue - voidreaver
Hello there!
Let’s step away from the craziness of big reveals, big changelogs and prolonged radio silence of the past month. Today we are back with a small, regular update, that you can now expect to see every week. Today we’re going to meet a new creature that inhabits the world of Galatea 37. However, this one does not try to eat us on sight, which is a nice change after all the nasties that we showed you until now. Let’s take a look at the Vesaurus.
The Vesaurus is the first aerial unit that we implemented in The Riftbreaker. It is a neutral creature that doesn’t mind the presence of Ashley and Mr. Riggs. Seeing it for the first time, you could easily make the mistake of thinking it is one of the birds that can be found on Earth. Their bodies are exactly the shape you would expect from a flying creature of this size. Their wingspan can be up to a couple of meters and they are decorated with beautiful, colored feathers. While there are certain similarities, this colorful creature is not just an oversized pigeon or a mutated parrot.
Like many creatures found on Galatea 37, the Vesaurus shows an affinity for mineral formations. They will often hover around the crystal formations, so often seen around the surface of the planet, and gather nutrients. In that regard, they are similar to hummingbirds but somehow the Vesauruses are able to remain airborne and stationary with only a couple of flaps of their massive wings, revealing massive differences in their body composition compared to their Earthly counterparts.
Our flying friends are yet another kind of neutral, ambient creatures that inhabit the world of Galatea 37. They make the world much more busy and full of life. Over time you will get used to their presence. In fact, the sight of Vesaurus gliding gracefully across the sky will become so familiar to you that you will start feeling uneasy when you haven’t seen one for a while, and for a good reason.
The Vesaurus are not predators. They do not have any defensive mechanisms, apart from the ability to fly, so you will never see them fighting with other species. You also won’t encounter them during attack waves. Much like birds before the storm, the Vesaurus sense the vibrations of the ground caused by the stampede of an alien horde, prompting them to hide among trees or in rock formations. Since only such places offer protection to them, you won’t encounter these creatures in areas lacking trees or high boulders.
Implementing the first flying creature into the game required the addition of many functions to our navigation system, but now that the groundwork is there, we have the opportunity to add more airborne units into the game. Perhaps next time they will be more hostile? Or maybe they are going to explode on sight, EXOR style? Only time will tell. In the meantime join www.discord.gg/exorstudios to share your ideas and to keep an eye on our daily changelog - it holds the keys to many secrets.
