![]() Originally known as Prey for the Gods, developer No Matter had to change the name of their game to Praey for the Gods due to opposition of their trademark filing by ZeniMax Media. The developers have stated in their newsletter that they are looking to minimize UI as much as possible and push feedback onto the player avatar to show player status. The player can locate and use campfires to replenish their health, and exhaustion. This in turn will lower resistances to hunger, cold, and stamina usage. The more stamina you use to sprint, or dodge the more it will impact your exhaustion. While running through the deep snow will speed you up. ![]() The snowy terrain will also impact the players exhaustion when they are walking through deeper snow. The player has an exhaustion system that reacts to the amount and times you use your stamina. They can also pull out arrows they shot previously. However, they can craft them from found wood. Weapons can break, and arrows are finite. Depending on what gear the player has, the battles can be fought in different ways. They will then have to find items, survive the cold weather, and defeat giants in the game. The player will arrive on the island with nothing to start with. Loot fallen heroes and equip their weapons and supplies.Non-linear game play where the player can choose which giant to battle and how.A large frozen world with dynamic snow terrain that players must traverse, survive and explore in.Battles with frozen giants where you can climb your foes.Prey for the Gods also features a large frozen island featuring dynamic weather effects, destructible environments, and epic battles with giants. Prey for the Gods, as described by the developers, is an ambitious attempt to combine the game play of Shadow of the Colossus, Deus Ex, DayZ, and BloodBorne. Press and fans response was strong and because of this they quit their jobs and have been in full time development since January 2016. They began development part time before releasing their initial trailer. It is developed by No Matter Studios, who are 3 veteran game developers. No Matter tapped Unity’s features for innovative artists and designers.Praey for the Gods is an action adventure survival game announced on October 15, 2015. ![]() Whether putting a monstrous giant/beast or unforgiving weather in your face, tiny No Matter Studios is building a big story with convincing material effects to match. This also allows action-packed interactions between the boss and any rigid bodies it encounters.” This “proxy” mesh allows No Matter to record the mesh animation and then translate it back into the physics system for high-fidelity output.Ĭhien and company are very pleased with the result: “The Animated Physics system allows players to climb and collide with our bosses as they are moving, while making sure that the collision on the boss is as close as possible to the visuals players see. ![]() The system works by having a slightly lower resolution proxy physics mesh – the same way you generally want to create lower resolution physics meshes for props. On a high level Unity allows animated meshes to have physics that move with them and interact with other physics accurately. As Parnell says, “Having players struggling in our extreme environment is a core Praey for the Gods gameplay mechanic, and tessellation helps us achieve it.” Setting up the snowy surfaces in this manner also enables No Matter to create areas of deep drifts where the player actually gets submersed, impeding their progress and heightening drama as they collide with the underlying terrain. So when the player or an object intersects with the snow we remove that section, giving the appearance that the snow has been pushed down, creating realistic footprints.” “Using tessellation, our snow tech pushes up snow based on the height we paint it on the terrain. “We wanted a solution that would allow characters and objects to push down the snow in a realistic way,” says Wiese. This allows designers to achieve far more detail on surfaces, depth and resolution to achieve ultimate fidelity. To achieve this, Chien and the team exploited Unity’s tessellation capabilities, which enables you to create geometry, such as polygons or closed shapes, that tessellates, or breaks down, into smaller and smaller geometries. And Wiese adds: “We could just have used footstep decals to fake snow but we wanted something much more interactive and realistic.” It’s so omnipresent it’s really like another boss,” says Parnell. “As well as creating some amazing epic bosses, we knew that snow would be crucial for us.
