BRAND NEW Animal Survival Game! | The Hunted

[@diegopc1357]

I really hope they focus on the models, animations, and game mechanics. In this genre it is crucial to nail those points. Anything else can be prioritized later.

[@5CatsPlay]

This looks amazing! Hopefully they nail the realism looks and animations of the animals.

[@samu-r4i316]

looks like everything i wanted in a survival game and more

[@pcmasterracetechgod5660]

The graphics themselves look decent, but man they need to focus more on the animations, look very rough, no amount of fancy graphics will change that

[@command3rcodybrickfilms266]

⁠@@pcmasterracetechgod5660I completely agree with that, the animations don’t look very good, but keep in mind that it’s in really early development.

[@trendyfish5652]

The hair and models in general like the crocodile looks absolutely amazing I genuinely hope this game succeeds this could be really amazing

[@samu-r4i316]

yeah, could make competition with big communities like the isle, pot, animalia, and primal earth etc...

[@hikolasskeen6115]

Bruh, this game looks like a parody of PoT and DayOfDragons, but with animals. The guys have not even released the game yet, but have already planned several versions of the game for purchase and a bunch of donations. They will collect money from those who want to play as donate animals, for a couple of months they make the appearance of hard work and disappear with the money in the end. Not for the first time, really.

[@karakatanga8126]

That's exactly what I thought, don't show anything of the game, only photos and beautiful "trailers", but you should donate, it's already Dlc's announced and there is already a merch... 🤔🤨

​@@SirKolassmost of primals earth models are public ones they bought and slightly edited along with the animations tho supposedly so I have much more respect for a game that makes it's model instead of editing premade ones also the fact primal earth has been in dev for 2-3 years for what I'm seeing is concerning

@@randominternetman-kb7vr- i’d much rather a game that’s taking a while to progress, compared to a game that said beta would be out in a few months (it wasn’t. so, lie one) with people that ACTUALLY know how to properly animate and add designs and fur, compared to those in the hunted. idk if you’ve seen the bear. but no bear moves like that, or washes in a river with aussie shampoo and looks that ridiculously shiny 🤷

[@ROOK91]

The only issue I see so far (and it's more personal) is the walking style of the Grizzly. Well, at least the grizzlies I've seen, don't walk quite like that. Hard to explain, but I think it's more how the hind legs move too aggressive like. If that makes any sense lol

[@SourNote93]

Open Beta already in September? While I appreciate what they are doing, and with these animals we never seen in game like snakes, this to me at first sounds like quick cash grab. We had so many of these "games", forever in early access never actually fleshed out. And all this fur will melt our PCs. I'd avoid this until they really show some development done.

[@rpcratatat68]

people have already fallen for it and have spent hundreds and hundreds on it, which i myself wouldn’t consider doing as i’ve witnessed the whole thing from start to finish. i heard the pitch and got excited. safe to say it’s died down after seeing the clips and videos. no offence to them. but my mind and hearts set on primal earth due to the realism, animations etc 💀

[@shadowstalkstudios]

Open beta is not in september. Private beta is, and I wouldn't advise anyone to donate who doesn't believe in the project. The game is something I personally wanted for myself. So it will be made regardless of if we only had 5 supporters or 5,000. I understand your concerns and hope you see that everything we are doing is genuine. Hope to see you in game one day - Blip

[@devildogentertainment4904]

@@shadowstalkstudios imma get it for sure :3

[@scribblecrumb]

Honestly, I wouldn't hold out hope for this game actually going anywhere. It seems like they're way overpromising. That's a crazy number of animals to be making into playables, and a crazy number of maps they'll need to hold that promise of animals not being in the incorrect environments. Especially on top of supposedly only offering a jungle to start with, with new maps being DLC? Absolutely wild to advertise it as a main selling point while also saying that players will have to pay *extra* to experience that feature at all. I would much rather see an animal realism game pick *one* spot on earth to be trying to replicate and just double down on that ecosystem and fleshing it out. Don't try to emulate the whole world, that's just too much work to ever expect a quality end product.

[@eFMe-fk1xh]

That's the same I always thought. At this point, in 2023, I think it's safe to say we learnt a thing or two about how these animal survival multiplayer games fail, and how people expectation are always disappointed by how the game is broken, unbalanced, forever stuck in alpha, toxic, with player abusing mechanics.. etc etc.. Why developers don't learn? Why don't they start with small things, and then, if they succeed, build on that? The best thing to do, and I agree with you, is to base the game on the smallest ecosystem possible: less choices, less mechanics, but well thought, well developed, and well balanced. If that works, then they can try to make it bigger. That would make sense. But no, in 2023, devs still seem to think that having some good looking models means you can immediately create an impossibly complicated game with absurd promises.

[@rpcratatat68]

it’s been in production for MONTHS. was told, when pitched the idea alongside my path friends, that open beta would be available in the next month or two… yeah it didn’t. it’s not been pushed further till what? september i think? i was excited for the pitch. saw the images and models, and changed my mind. but yanno props to them for trying

[@rpcratatat68]

amen

[@kimberwicke7697]

i love the idea of the trip mechanic despite how much of a bogus pain that'll be lol in this genre a lot of times the models feel like they slide around on the ground and don't seem to have proper physics with the terrain/objects. This can make the gameplay and especially combat feel very janky and often clunky. Hopefully the models themselves will have pretty good animations accurate to the animals as well (tho quadruped animations are already pretty ambitious to tackle). Overall my biggest concern is incomplete animal lineups for each biome - especially this genre so known for balance issues between its characters (idk how that will work with ppl importing their own animals)

[@Blood_SC]

@@VelocciYT I feel snakes overall vs Dinos etc are pretty eh to even play. Snakes can only target 1 enemy at one time, so groups invalidate them. Let alone the largest snake would only be able to effectively hunt and eat small tier. Like with Isle largest thing that they might be able to eat is maybe a cerato if it's solo. xD But every other playable is designed for group play really like Omni would just shred a Titania.

Ahh Tripping... Its not good i reckon. The chance if losing a chase or your own life rng doesnt seem very fair to me. At least make it so theres certain obstacles that make you trip if you dont jump over them, like tree roots etc. Everything else however looks great. Hopefully this game blooms and we get to see it happening instead if dying off, like plenty other survival dino/animal sim games Edit: yikes prestige to get better skills? Doesnt sound good either. And dlc maps? I guess its good if the game is free cuz it needs noney but still, if it isnt that aint gonna be fun. I personally dont like how this looks too much, mechanic wise, i like the animals and such but it just doesn't seem like the game for me. Im sure some people would think differently to me and thats okay, everyone has their own opinions. Anyway, lets just hope this game makes it

[@empyrreann]

Not sure how I feel about them making the other maps as bought DLC.

[@Max69820]

I think is a GREAT idea. Graphic is not important for create a funny game and I think one thing very important to focus on is stamina, a snake or a lion don’t run all time, I understand can’t be totally realistic but in mean time see animals ,or in the other one with dinosaur, everything is running 100% all time. Animals have to choose correctly when spend energy. Maybe a snake could be like the snaiper of the game, waiting the prey and when is correct time baaam! Onother thing they could think about is, like Dead by Daylight, to don’t make easy for the prey to see their predator.

[@Narsku8833]

Mmmmh, I am concerned over the animations of the canines being kinda bouncy. It is definitely possible for a dog to run like that, but full run of most animals means the spine bends noticeably. If their aim is actual realism, I expect these animals to move as they are supposed to, not just look the part. Once the game shows that their aim to be realistic is true and not a marketing thing I will think about it again. My hunch is that the spines don't have enough bones to properly fold the models.
