Hylios Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 At this point in development, do we have any idea of what the wildlife of Alioth will look and function like? Furthermore, will we be able to hunt them for things like food and clothing? Cybrex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrophil Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 There's one picture on the Media section of the DU website: https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/static.www.novaquark.com/img/gallery/04_hunter.jpg It seems like a zebra/gazelle (gazebra?) hybrid is being hunted by a player (with some sick gear) so I would definitely safely assume that yes, wildlife will probably be able to be hunted and used as resources.

Bella_Astrum Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I hope so, that would be pretty awesome. I really like that picture above, and hope its indicative of what's to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NQ-Nyzaltar Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Hi everyone, As you may know, this artwork is one of the first posted about Dual Universe. Having Hunting game mechanics was an early idea. It's one we still have in mind, but as the project is developping, it's not currently considered in the first priorities. While the team is giving some thoughts about implementing survival game mechanics, knowing in which order will be implemented some "gameplay bricks" is still in discussion, so it's hard to tell - at the moment - where exactly it could fit: - Resource Gathering, Voxel Building, Crafting, Construct Piloting are the earliest Bricks. - Range Combat Mechanics (Character vs Character, PvP & PvE), Death Mechanics and Basic Territory Management will probably follow (the order isn't set in stone yet) - Survival Mechanics - including Hunting - might be somewhere after the bricks mentioned above. However, taming and using tamed animals as mounts isn't currently on the roadmap. We are aware this feature has been very popular in some recent sandbox games, but as this no trivial feature, we prefer to focus on our main features first. Best Regards, Nyzaltar.
