Adapt Phase 1: Eutopia
The first phase of Adapt’s Early Access Development Roadmap is now is now publicly visible. Of course, be aware that everything is subject to change, deadlines WILL fluctuate, and features may be added or redacted as development progresses.
Adapt’s Alpha stage development post early access launch later this year will be broken up into a few phases, and all early access players should be aware of what to expect from that game at each stage. So let’s talk about phase 1: Eutopia.
Adapt: Eutopia is all about developing and testing the game's core mechanics. Fundamental animal behaviors, the species and map editors, the evolution / customization systems, and the “basic” gameplay loop.
The big takeaway from this phase is that the game will likely feel very easy and peaceful, hence the name. Other than some light predation, and occasionally wandering into a low habitability zone, the world is a pretty safe place for your little critter buddies. So it’s going to feel very sand-box-y during this phase.
If you are looking to get involved in Adapt’s early design feedback, this phase will be a great time, as I will be focused heavily on animal behavior and AI, key gameplay features, and general world-building / content updates; so strong community feedback, both supportive and critical will be a huge asset for sculpting the foundations of the game.
I look forward to hearing from all of you
