This Playable Snake Is Actually Amazing!

Showcasing Paleophis - an impressive snake-playable in Beasts of Bermuda ~
Game Title: Beasts of Bermuda
store.steampow...
Beasts of Bermuda is an online multiplayer game where players play as dinosaurs and various prehistoric creatures on expansive servers. Players can select from a range of roles including flyers, swimmers, herbivores, carnivores, and semi-aquatic creatures, each occupying distinct niches within the ecosystem. Regardless of their choice, the ultimate aim is survival and development on the Bermuda islands, leveraging the unique abilities of their chosen creature. Survival hinges on navigating predation from other players and enduring harsh environmental challenges.

I don't think we realise how great this snake is done for a survival game (I've literally never played BOB before). From the fluid moves to the fact they EVEN included a tree climbing mechanic for it is just nuts. I can only imagine how hard this thing was to code and animate. Amazing work.

[@Temb_]

it was pretty hard it seems, they spent 2 years coding it XD

[@aydemsadventure3752]

@@Temb_ understandable lol

[@theycallme4799]

I concur with this statement whole heartedly! The ability to 'coil' the tree.. is.. 🤯 The shed: 🤯☢️

[@wonderessfox4452]

Now they just need the ability to eat the shed (this includes other critters to be able to eat it hehe)

[@Temb_]

@wonderessfox4452 they added that, snake can eat its shed in the test server! But it doesn't give much food, for balance reasons. But its absolutely insane that they thought about it and added it!

[@Phantomshift0]

I’m genuinely impressed with how realistic they went with the danger noodles. The regurgitation, the climbing, perascoping, even your comment on “venom is a resource you want to save”-which is why venomous snakes don’t want to use it on things they can’t eat and only inject it if they feel their lives are in danger. They did a crazy good job!

[@sealboy1211]

Despite its lower popularity of the “big three” I think Bob has the most fully fleshed out gameplay loop and most varied roster in the genre. From digging chickens to its ocean giants, and now… it gets a snake. Good video too, I wasn’t expecting choice of three biomes to specialize in but I assume the sea snake must have a dart.

[@SputnicWasTaken]

Yeah like path of titans dinosaurs just seem like copies of eachother while every dino in bob has a different playstyle.

[@MrTickles445]

Bro you just names creatures the game has, that has nothing to do with a gameplay loop.

[@cutepuppygamer0815]

@@MrTickles445 Has various different playstyles depending on the dinosaur you choose, you can hunt for the different skins/mutations in game, grow to be the largest dinosaur, try to get perfect inherits, run around and kill things in a pack, Nest. Lots of different things you can do compared to the isle or path of titans that isnt just killing (i know The Isle has nesting but ffs does it not work well if at all) which helps boost the gameplay loop and keeps it entertaining for longer if your not big on combat

[@maneater9711]

[@goofyahh7044]

The way the snake moves is very reminiscent of the game “Snake Pass”. They probably got inspiration from that.

[@corgiapocalypse7252]

I thought the same thing!

[@Vektor-Gaming-and-Design]

Snake Pass is a cool game, suuuper tricky though (at least I found it to be difficult!)

[@ryaquaza3offical]

this is absolutely peak animations right here. Once PoT adds their Titanoboa I just hope it feels even as half as good as this guy

[@Temb_]

there is a reason why BoB devs spent 2 years on and off coding this playable.

[@SilverI187]

I doubt it will, if PoT's one is good it'll be maybe similar to ark's, but more likely it will have static animations that won't always track to the floor.

[@aethermoroll]

this is definitely the update that's going to make me go back to this game

[@hatandtie2414]

I'm holding out hope for december of 4065 when the isle adds something like this

[@SireDragonChester]

Pred and dev team have done so much since when I was ex moderator/tech help guy so many years ago. Looking good. :)

[@catpoke9557]

They need to make an entire game dedicated to this snake. I wouldn't play BoB but I'd play a game with a snake like this

[@magentalizard1250]

I'm hoping this'll make the isle devs decide to let titanoboa be playable They complained about it being too hard yet BoB managed to do it well

[@insappy]

snakes are aids to create in a survival game, like genuinely almost impossible. itll take years for the isle to implement a snake playable and make it work the way they want it. even though BoB did it really well, it still has its many flaws.

[@zzodysseuszz]

@@insappyit’s really not that hard. There are probably dozens of way you can go about it. You could make it so titanoboa can take out just about everything but burns through its energy insanely fast. Or make it so that the snake doesn’t do much damage but instead requires biting an enemy to wrap around them and slowly knock them out, then if you keep the grapple you’ll suffocate them to death. Make venomous snakes capable of inevitably killing any animal so long as the venom matches the enemies body weight and will be slower depending on the body weight to venom potency ratio. You could make it so that the snake can climb up anything that is rounded and trunks are 50/50. Could make it so the camera is closer to the head and the body follows where you are moving and looking to make programming movement easier.

[@whoahanant]

I mean I can see why Isle and PoT are confident in not wasting the time and money on a playable snake. BoB is the most fleshed out or "finished" game of the main 3 thus they have a decent amount of time to work on this. It took them 2 years on and off to make this, and it's still very wonky so it'll probably be getting many passes until it feels better. Lastly the terrain alignment and animations would need to be very fluid for PoT and Isle their games just have far different requirements for animals I really can't imagine them putting a snake in as a playable until their games are really close to "done". (None of these games are ever "done" they're always updated and overhauled over time). I know PoT is pretty far in terms of the list of things they're following, I think there's a few playables left to release. Like 4 or 5 creatures left? After those it's just basic game stuff, nesting, more questing/combat overhauls, polishing, they're making some new plant assets (probably to gear up for microraptor since it's a climber/glider), AI is their biggest challenge and will probably be a main focus as it starts finishing a bunch of it's other goals. They put out some basic unusable nest spots probably to gear up for nesting. The game modes are on their way for the deathmatch servers and almost ready. TLC for the older dinos have been happening. Directional attacks are being tested on Kentro. Alot has been changed in PoT. Isle, well it has a while to go. I don't think they'll be ready to mess with a snake playable for a long time. At least not until dinos AND everything for humans is done and ready which isn't even close to PoT or BoB whatsoever. I think it would also be the most nitpicked thing if it ever came out on Isle because the models, animations and movements require so much extra work for their playables. I also don't know the time-line for their mutated dinos if those will ever be released since dinos are still the only playables and that roster isn't filled yet. The humans need alot too since they're gonna have all those human crafting systems and such for survival games. Would be nice to see them add one but I highly doubt that can be even thought about until they start finishing up the rosters for their dinos, humans and mutants if those are still planned. Needless to say I think PoT and Isle probably shouldn't waste any time on a snake playable until their games goals are finished. BoB has had alot of time for adding playables since theirs is so far along. It's also kinda nice to see what challenges the playable has since BoB is the only one with a playable snake to look at. That could help streamline any future attempts in any future games.

[@mrCabbages_]

​@@zzodysseuszz It's not balancing that's the issue, it's the actual coding for the physics of the body. It's very hard to replicate the way snakes move.

[@Itz_Mothii]

This is by far the most accurate snake in one of these games I’ve ever seen

[@viennasavage9110]

Venom bite should definitely do more than just drain ability in my opinion. I was hoping we would finally get a game that makes venom do what it's meant to do, something like draining stamina and health but only minutes after the initial bite and gradually getting worse for the next few days (of course, it wouldn't drain enough of these things to guarantee death, but definitely enough to bring you close to it at the end of those days. There could be factors to determine whether you live and how much damage the venom does, like how much your animal weighs and whether or not they're eating well. This makes it so smaller creatures like mice that the snake is SUPPOSED to hunt get worn out fast by venom, whereas larger creatures are inconvenienced the way they should be.) The venom could also decrease their max health over those days, and your max health goes back to normal as it wears off. This effect could hasten for each bite the snake makes, but the duration doesn't get longer because even I know a few *days* is kind of pushing it. But the point is that this will make people not want to bother fighting snakes even if they can kill said snake because they're concerned about how the venom will affect their ability to survive afterwards, just like in the actual wild. Of course there'd be some that don't last this long and drain as much health too, but I just wanted something different since this game seemed to be doing every animal justice up until now. I love that venom is a resource you have to manage, but it only draining stamina or ability meter is....really underwhelming for that. It makes it so snakes are only really a threat in swarms, and snakes aren't really swarm animals.

[@CarnotaurusEnjoyer]

hehe they litterally just took down the public testing branch ):

[@kelpstorm]

that movement is soooo good i love it!! worth the time it mustve taken to get it that good. also the concept of body contact to the tree affecting how well youre holding on is so cool and a great way to implement the natural behaviour of coiling around trees to climb them!! i dont know much about this game but i gotta check out more this is awesome :D

[@atomictraveller]

there was a snake game someone made in dreams ps4 where the point of the game was being able to stay attached to ropes and branches, movement was slow and difficult and iirc correlated with contact. it looked better than the climbing i see in the beginning here. i'd like to make a snake game since i write my own physics and just improved my rotations, so i'm interested in seeing what's been done ot see if i'd offer something different. it looks like this game is going more for simulation playability than ragdoll physics fun.

If these guys can make a snake, then PoT and Isle have no excuses to not try.

Rather than dry bite dealing more damage, venom should just be a limited resource that slowly regens.

[@Saved2_447]

[@Shy-kthxbai]

Thinking about buying this game just for the snake.

[@BOOGERking007]

A snake horror game like man eater will be an awesome idea

[@ghoste3991]

The best thing about snakes is that the only thing you have to work on to get realistic movement is the side to side flow of the body. Snakes run, swim, and fly with the same movement (they technically glide but yk) and their muscle mass is so insanely powerful that real life snakes actually do climb trees Just like in the game! They can also stand, again like in the game. I think that side winding (fastest snake movement, goes up to about 15mph if iirc, and used by desert snakes such as the aptly named sidewinder) and blue (cloudy scales and blue eyes before shed, indicating loose skin to lose) would be good features to implement to flesh out the gameplay. The only gripe I have with this showcase is the fin. Sea snakes dont have fins. You were right about the land speed. Its the same stuff across all snakes, with size and strength factoring in, of course, but its relatively the same. Wish there were multiple different snakes other than sea snaes, grass snakes, and Burmese pythons. At least that's what was shown in the video. A hormone or a water moccasin (cottonmouth) would be cool.

[@ghoste3991]

Also, most terrestrial snakes aren't all that good at climbing. Its entirely in the arboreal ones skillset

[@ghoste3991]

Also, it might be unfair to gameplay, but it would be really nice if the snakes didn't eat too much. In real life, they only eat once a week, any more than that and they get fat and unhealthy. Low metabolism n all that. I feel like the tradeoff would be that the player lowers their guard about eating, and doesn't check the hunger only to starve? And more predators.

[@ghoste3991]

1. snake venom does not effect other snakes. Seeing as these creatures are so the same species (and the no aquatic ones aren't even fucking venemous) you shouldn't be able to die from snake venom in this game as a snake. 2. The blinking effect in The game ANGERS me so. Snakes do not have eyelids. They have a clear scale over their eyed that comes off when they shed, and it protects the eye from dirt and water. The do not blink because they cannot blink

[@irish_warrior]

if they were to use this system as a mod in POT, they should probably make it so the crouch keybind makes you coil up into a defensive position

Dondi teasing this for years but BoB gave us the "impossible" snake

[@Vektor-Gaming-and-Design]

What's the difference (other than appearance) of the 3 subspecies?

[@mysterykit6893]

Terrestrial snake can Coil up + spit venom and climb better and just faster on land and can lay boreal nests in trees etc. Semi-Aquatic is decent on land and in the water it can dart but not coil nor spit venom lays nests on land but has boreal as well with 3 points in it. It can climb trees but not as good as terra. Fully Aquatic is the fastest in the water has more HP and more venom and gives life births. The 3 snakes also have their own different talents trees. And they can mate with any type of snake the offsprings will always be like the mother.

[@Gore-Labs]

I think the snake’s pitiful heath should either be buffed, or hits should only count when you hit the head. It feels kinda unfair to die because your tail is too long.

[@mysterykit6893]

You forget about the parts that terra snakes can coil up moving their body under them and they can climb trees to escape. Semi-aquatics can escape in trees + in the ocean. And Fully aquatics they do have more HP and more venom then the other 2 snakes can prob easily hide away as well (haven't touched any aquatic snakes yet only terra lel)

[@Nugnugnug]

8:16 actually, sea snakes are completely useless on land. Helpless as a fish. So you're actually much better off than a sea snake when on land in this game.
