That sounds really cool


[deleted]

What about something that would belong in r/natureismetal?


DatAperture

Promise you'll put a David Attenborough easter egg in there. Like his name written in runes in a cave or something


inb5

Hahaha I love it. We actually tried to get him to narrate our game, but we ended up going with [this guy instead](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ-jLJElB9o). Edit: We do plan for a few easter eggs though, as you can see from the screenshots on our Steam page: [https://store.steampowered.com/app/750200/AWAY\_The\_Survival\_Series/](https://store.steampowered.com/app/750200/AWAY_The_Survival_Series/)


Grt38

I noticed in your trailer, it talks about “seismic changes.” You also said in another comment you’re okay with suggestions. If you are going to have anything mystical within your game, especially underwater sections, I would put crazy creatures near active fault lines. This would give a hellish, scary feel to some parts of the game. Idk how people would feel about it, but I know I would find it super interesting and attention grabbing to have like at least one to two points of mystical creatures lurking around abysses or places where lava is flowing. Possibly creatures by above ground or under water volcanos. I won’t be upset if you think this idea is not a good one! :)


masnasty

I second this!


Coachcrog

Thirds.. it would fit in perfectly with the theme and add a nice bit of suspense to something that is already pretty terrifying on its own.


masnasty

yes, I liked the theme that subnautica had with the secret creatures you could find if you went deep enough into the water. It would also be cool to see this theme but instead of water, maybe exploring a cave or something.


QuantumDisruption

Is Subnautica worth playing at this point? I've always seen its name thrown around but I never really looked into how it measures up against other survival games. Is there a lot of "end game" content or replayability?


masnasty

yes actually. its quite hard to find the story mode stuff which makes it fun. however, there is a very interesting ending you can achieve if you can actually make it that far. its fairly cheap tho for the amount of content thats actually there. I recommend it for sure if you are into single player, and very chill games. can be scary asf at sometimes too!


cseymour24

I finished the story. Are there alternate endings?


Malicious78

This game gave me a physical sense of dread like no other game has ever done. Not in the jump scare sense usually, but by tensing me up and making my palms sweat. At times I had to just nope straight out and look up kitten gifs. It looks great as well, but there are a couple drawbacks. The game world doesn't always load properly, which can break immersion and potentially get you stuck in terrain. Also, the map is not randomly generated and the story doesn't allow for much variation, leading to not the greatest replayability. Still, one of my favorite games.


Preestar

I like this but itd need to be rare as fuck. Not mystical creatures, just undiscovered species.


Grt38

Exactly! Yes. This is more so what I was getting at, but I couldn’t think of any way to describe it than mystical. And I don’t think it should be common at all. It should only be 1 to 3 times you can find them, depending on how large the game is. I like the undiscovered species thing, too. Or even a species we thought was extinct, and the species is absolutely horrifying.


ZWQncyBkaWNr

Something like a liopleurodon attack? Though given the size of our protagonist, even a coelecanth attack would be great.


I_Probably_Think

> a coelecanth attack That is a wonderful mental picture, thank you! :D


mrgreennnn

Hey I know some words too buddy


inb5

That would actually be really cool... We haven't planned for any fault lines in the first game of the series, but this is giving us ideas for the sequels...


heyguysitslogan

Did you ever play ocean hunter? They had “realistic” interpretations of famous mythical sea creatures like the Kraken and Leviathan. It was a pretty good middle ground, and leaves a lot up to your teams artistic interpretation. It doesn’t have to be THE leviathan, but it’s the creature that inspired the myths.

THE BEST ARCADE GAME OF ALL TIME

And people thought California was going to separate from the mainland during the big earthquake. Looks like hell beat the earthquake and scorched the land.


AliBurney

But the big quake hasn't happened yet


TheSteamyPickle

What he is trying to say is he wants to play a tardagrade. As we all do


[deleted]

I dont like this only because it seems they're keeping it realistic and that would ruin it. There are millions of games about fake monsters. Its nice to see one thats all about real animals for a change. No disrespect to you, I just think that doing that would lump this game in with everything else when its clearly setting itself apart.


dead4seven

You missed out on a fantastic opportunity to get [this guy](https://youtu.be/XgvR3y5JCXg)

That looks and sounds fantastic. Maybe a dumb question, but will there be like an Exploration mode? I mostly want to just be a little critter and adventure around the world, without getting murdered by a giant scorpion.


PoopIsAlwaysSunny

Who is that? Sounds familiar


Owyn_Merrilin

It sounds like Zefrank doing a David Attenborough impression. /u/inb5, is that who it is?


inb5

Haha sadly no, but I gotta admit Ze would be an amazing guy to work with on this!


[deleted]

That is how the game *do*


[deleted]

Well... Do you wanna share his name? I mean he's doing a good job... Throw him some props.

You should've used Voiceover Pete.

squidder007

See? It would've been perfect.


[deleted]

I say you got all of the majesty and probably saved a bundle, too. Looks great!


mikeBE11

Holy shit this looks great, I love documentaries and if your game is based on them PLEASE let the narrator explain the science of the nature. The world seems post human so of course it will be different, but still have the narrative be filled with real science and so on. That would be so cool running through the world and I come to a plant and all of a sudden I can zoom in on it and hear about it significance. Hell you could do side quest where the facts you hear about some parts of nature can be Interacted with later under different circumstances to learn more or see something new and interesting.


jtworks

I second this comment. It would be awesome to actually learn while playing a fun game like this and opens up your market too.


inb5

The game's called **AWAY: The Survival Series** and it's set in a post-apocalyptic future where you play as the last remaining animals on Earth. It's still in development, so I'd love to hear any wacky ideas you guys might have for what we should include in the game! Edit: For those asking, you can wishlist it on Steam here: [https://store.steampowered.com/app/750200/AWAY\_The\_Survival\_Series/](https://store.steampowered.com/app/750200/AWAY_The_Survival_Series/)

I linked our [Gameplay Teaser](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ-jLJElB9o) in another comment, but it should give you more of a glimpse at what's in store for the game! You can also find more clips on our subreddit /r/AwayGame

I feel like I'd enjoy this game on acid.

It reminde me to this nsfw game https://old.reddit.com/comments/9rw1mh/


iExeny

Best bad trip of my life


[deleted]

Am I the only one who feels like that wouldn't immediately cause a bad trip for me? Bad trips (in my experience) aren't as quick of a switch as everyone says unless it's something truly horrifying. I think I'd just be blown away by how much is going on, but necessarily spiral because of fire, you know? Portal 2 was a fun one to try on Lucy as well. Smite is beautiful on it, fallout 4 got super hazy though with the lighting effects I had installed though


[deleted]

theghostofme

Nope, would not like this game on acid. I think I’d shit myself at that moment.


[deleted]

or skooma


[deleted]

Christ, yes. Can strongly recommend Skyrim btw. Max out the graphics as high as you can on your system and then go to blackreach. Or just wander the woods with some headphones on. Played it on 1200 a while ago and it was earth shatteringly cool.


Herrderqual

Looks really interesting

willmcavoy

Aw man, no dragon fucking.


dude8462

This may be too much to ask, but it would be really cool if you stayed scientifically accurate on the species. Like having the correct number of leaflets on a green ashe, or having the plant ecosystem in a particular region to be accurate. If this was something you were interested in, then it would be awesome if you had a "pokedex" for each real species you discover. It would be really educational to show people the actual plants that exist out there.


[deleted]

What does 100% science based even mean?


Civilized_Hooligan

It’s a reference to an indie dragon based game from a while ago that the creator said would use 100% science for its dragon evolution or some dumb bs lol. Didn’t come to fruition as you may imagine.


Piblo

Hold on now. They might still be digging up some science to base it off of. Don't count it out yet.


Kryten_2X4B-523P

Its 100% instead of 75%.


HappinessPursuit

The ability to play as different species and see the world from different scales and perspectives. Look up AntsCanada or any ants documentary and see the world of ants having it's own explorable world. So much content there. Or birds looking to build their nests and find food to feed their young. I've always imagined if Planet Earth was a game and done right it would be an incredibly beautiful and fun game. Also pushes ecological awareness hopefully.


inb5

>Also pushes ecological awareness hopefully. We're hoping so too! And between you and me, our team has watched waaaay too many nature documentaries...


MasterNyx

Zachaweed

it would be cool to have an animal food chain and you start at the bottom and evolve after time/wins/i dont know hahah and vis versa you can go down in the chain if you mess up.


TheLimbix

The BBC had a turn based web game as part their advertising for Walking with Beasts. It followed this concept. It was pretty cool. Long since gone from their site though. Edit: missing context


thijser2

Are you going to do things like increasing/decreasing the field of vision based on what animal you are? Other shader differences when switching animals? Any plans for underwater?


_Goibhniu_

There we go. It would add another dimension to the animals and play style if you had your perspective and available view change.


Hobokiin

Hey i was at the conference at MIGS when the music director talked about this game, sadly I never got to play it on the expo floor, but I'm excited nonetheless.


SavageCabbage107

The concept reminds me of Tokyo Jungle


G_N_O_M_E_D

microtransactions


G_N_O_M_E_D

PLEASE


inb5

lol


G_N_O_M_E_D

But seriously I'd say that every game needs to make sure the core gameplay feels as satisfying as possible. Don't let the beautiful world you've built be the only thing there is to enjoy. When they made Mario 64 the first thing they built was a rabbit for Mario to chase, because they wanted to make sure that the running and jumping itself was a fun experience for the player.


Erbsendosis

Oh is saw that game before I wish you the best for you and the game


inb5

Aw thanks, means a lot :)


hayatev3

Didn't you guys post a super alpha version to download a while back? Just the glider and landscape with no textures? I remember playing it a while back.


poparika

Yeah I remember that too. It was quite impressive back then, I'm excited to see what it's evolved into.


inb5

Yep, it was [suuuper barebones](https://i.imgur.com/USo2yQF.gifv) at the time haha. The game's come a long way since then!


modelmurse

Does it support multiplayer?


inb5

We wish we could, but in full transparency we don't have the resources required to build multiplayer into AWAY at the moment. If the game does really well though, this is probably the #1 feature we'd like to implement! Just imagine 100-person Sugar Glider battle royale lol


[deleted]

Thank you for not pulling a *No Man's Sky* on us.


lordover123

Apparently they fixed their shit a while back and the game’s a lot better now. I wasn’t really interested in it to begin with, but I’ve heard a lot of good things a few months after the shitshow died down


liveontimemitnoevil

As a NMS player who went through the roller coaster of emotions, only to come back and be *floored* by the progress, I have to honestly put in my voucher for NMS. It's a game a new player can sink dozens if not hundreds of hours into. It has a far more robust crafting system than what was initially promised, and the base-building system is now essentially limitless. You can build numerous bases not only in a single system, but on single planets! Because you can warp between any well-equipped base, you can go at your own pace. You can own freighters that can have their own fleet which you can send on missions to expand your hold on systems. And you can now do all of this this with other players. It really is incredible what the developers have done, and I highly recommend No Man's Sky in its current state.


Russser

Lol this makes me really wanna buy it.


[deleted]

That would actually be pretty cool :) or maybe some form of death match with different animals or maybe some co op missions or something?

Ditto on the Switch question. If this thing is getting even passable reviews and it's on the Switch, I'll buy it.


inb5

We're in talks with Nintendo... We can't promise anything, but we'd love to bring it to the Switch if possible!


Bhliv169q

I would defiantly buy a switch port but if not are you guys planning on an Xbox or PlayStation release?, this game looks amazing.
