Upcoming Systems & Additions

Elder System

Elders are larger, more powerful variations of the adult stage of life. They are only accessible by following certain diet/perk pathways. Elders start off stronger than the highest tier adult of their species. After completing their reign, they depreciate. Embracing death willfully, leaves you with a bonus you can apply to a new life as that species. But dying in any other fashion... 

Ptera Tree Burrowing

Changes to Pounce & Latching Mechanic

In Dev Blog #51:

"As for pounce, the new slot swap system is finished which allows players to manually swap slots when latched to a target by spending some stamina. It can be used to better coordinate with other pouncers or simply be used to avoid being knocked down when the target uses nearby trees or objects.


Along with that, pounce now has some incoming manual control to attack while latching. Latching on to players only causes a small amount of consistent damage, but allows players to tap/hold the primary attack button to do extra raw damage, or also tap/hold the secondary attack button to deal no raw damage, but high bleeding damage. Both actions spend stamina, but allows for more dynamic combat giving players more control over what type of damage they’re dealing to pounced victims. With this bucking has become significantly more important for the victim and it has received some major attention to prevent it being an unfun war of attrition."
