Feathered dinosaurs vs. non-feathered dinosaurs. Since we started this project, this topic has been HEAVILY discussed by both dinosaur fans and the devs behind Deathground.
We officially announced, in our AMA in August, that we are developing a game that will star feathered dinosaurs. Here are three simple reasons why we’ve decided to take this direction:
- Our Art team is taking on a challenge set by science. If palaeontology research and discoveries have been updated over the past two decades, why can’t dino culture evolve alongside them? We’ve done our research and are feeling confident with our creative choices.
- We're inspired by the former, but we want to forge our own path. Yes, we are very much lovers of former dinosaur franchises too. The concept of Deathground was fuelled by nostalgia! As a studio, we want to create unique and unforgettable games with jaw-dropping moments. The first time you find one of these fearsome, feathered creatures in-game, we hope will be one of them.
- Believe us, these creatures WILL be scary! There’s an idea floating around that feathered dinosaurs won’t scare you. Well, as Deathground is going to be a horror-survival themed game, we’re working on making your gameplay experience feel simply terrifying. In the animal kingdom, feathers aren’t just used for flight. Above all things, they can increase speed, agility and be used to build up an intimidating demeanour. So, it's not just how they will look. It's also how they will move towards and around you too...
But if this news is roughing up your feathers in the wrong way (sorry, we couldn’t resist), then how would you feel if we created the option to deactivate the feathered look?
Are you team ‘Toggle-Off’?
Or team ‘Feathers, please!’
