They knew about DayZ, of course, and other titles, but until it came to testing them to see what the competition was like, they approached the genre with fresh eyes. That might explain why they’re bucking convention, even if the familiar elements of struggling to survive on a hostile island by hunting, looting, and killing are still present. The pair noticed that, while DayZ helped to create a trend, things have started to change in the survival genre. A lot of the big survival games still haven’t left early access, while battle royales like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds have been stripping the genre down to the barest of essentials. They think that there’s room for a new, ultra-detailed survival sandbox that places a great deal of importance on its dynamic simulation.Ĭharacter creation, metabolism, combat, and exploration are all interconnected, where one change can have a significant knock-on effect. If you make a character with very little body fat, for example, you’ll need to find food more often. If you don’t, you’ll start to starve, making you weaker and tired. That, in turn, will make your hands shake, so you’ll be less effective if you need to shoot other players, NPCs, or animals. Being a little bit on the chubby side, then, can sometimes be helpful. “People ask us what the point of selecting a character with bad muscle and fat ratios is, and why they shouldn’t just make a character that looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger,” Pongrac says.
