What Zoochosis Hides From You

[@Kentaiga]

Honestly the work on the creature models for this game are pretty good for what it is. That invisibility effect for the Wallaby clearly had a lot of effort put in. I don't even want to think about how complicated the shader for that was.

[@CalmChill_silen]

that's probably been work on by the creator when he's alive but the rest when he died fell rust tbh

[@exceptionallyriso]

​@@CalmChill_silenwhat? No? The person who died was a screenwriter, he wasn't the creator. And screenwriters don't make the models

[@gachatana9656]

​@@exceptionallyriso Screenwriters are still part of the first few stages of development.. Like the designs and functions of the monster-creatures..

[@eloraandkhan3288]

@@exceptionallyriso the game bible writer may have been the one to dictate how the transformation looks, but its up to the programmers to decide if its possible or not. "Teleports in by appearing as bone that grows the mucles/veins and finally then the flesh on top" may have been a specification for that monster type.

[@exceptionallyriso]

@@eloraandkhan3288 All of these decisions are made by the creative directors not screenwriters. The screenwriter is only responsible for the story and setting

[@lunarlionlilith]

I kinda love this game, but at the same time I do see where it lacks. I can't imagine how devastating everything was when the screenwriter passed away... So I understand how that might translate into the finished game. I think the monster/battles were repetitive. I would've loved a bit more lore on the story too. But other than that, for what it is? It's a decent game :)

Yeah it for sure released mediocre, but the real shame is the trailers showed the wasted potential. I believe the original design was for all of the enclosures to be accessible and only 1-2 monsters AT FIRST requiring you to scan and make educated guests before the monsters ESCAPE THEIR ENCLOSURE and moves out to kill or infect more animals/you. Also, I know they explain it, but it's a shame that there's no real 'fail state' in the game. You can literally run into the monster over and over again.

This game really did have a lot of potential and I do feel like the screenwriter dying did contribute to the fact the game is a tad boring But I still think they could’ve totally put more effort into the gameplay to make it a tad less repetitive and at least try to continue the story on their own, of course I still understand this might’ve not been the easiest thing to do after losing someone on your team Hopefully someday they wi try to push out an update or remake this game that makes it a lot more fun and replayable because the concept is genuinely really cool

[@YuubiTimberwolf]

A shame how the game ended up, it needed a solid year more in the oven for sure.

[@PandemoniumVice]

Sadly this game needed about another 6 months to a year in development before release. Fantastic idea. I'm a huge fan of The Thing and Lovecraftian horror stuff, but they really failed to deliver on this game.

Guys you have to remember that this game was released after the creator had died, they weren't going to alter the game to the point it wasn't his game anymore. It was a good game, had great potential which was stripped from everyone bc of a death. Not bc the creator didn't care enough or whatever.

It appears that Roman Kogay did 3D models and Adam Woodsmith did concept art, based on a Google search.

I think one of the main reasons for its dislike is the fact that their main screen writer passed away during production. With as small of a team as they had that can be a critical blow. There were things we saw in the demo that didn't make it into game and that may have been part of the reason
