The Stomping Lands - Sandbox Open World Dinosaur Survival Game.

[Bsmunban]

I'm basically making this thread in order to raise awareness about a game that I've thought has been awesome for a little over a year now and that I've followed for a similar amount of time. It was firstly on kick starter and obtained a very generous amount of funding from the public and has been in production since last year with the beta soon to hit this month.

I was a prior Arma2/DayZ/Darkfall/Rust player and I really loved the different style of play it had. The sandbox genre is honestly one of my favourite genre's simply due to the amount of risk you carry when dying and having an open world to explore which isn't zoned felt so much more epic. Despite the point, if you were interested in any sandbox games, or even any games with an open world this is a multilayer sandbox game that you may be interested in and considering it isn't the most known game maybe this'll interest you!

So, it's a bit of an interesting route to take in my opinion, but if done right could be insane. A lot of developers have tried the zombie route and I don't really feel any of them have really nailed it on the head for various reasons, but having an open world with dinosaurs is simply something we haven't seen before and creates an interesting avenue to diversify the survival element of this game.

One thing I'm very excited about is the base building system. It's definitely in but due to me not yet playing I'm unsure how it'd work, but I'm fairly convinced they'll be allowing the building of bases anywhere. These are centre points for players where they can re-spawn, gain buffs for their tribe (or guild so to say) and feel a sense of security because there are huge things out there that see humans as their food source!

Along with that, the weapon system looks very unique. No guns will be in this game which for once will feel quite refreshing. Within Day Z I felt that the over usage of guns dampened the whole idea of an apocalypse considering everyone eventually became well geared with 50 cal's and such other items. You literally have a bhola/bow/spear and arrow meaning you have the barest of weapons to survive with. Poisoning is another thing which is in the game, having various serums which you can dowse your arrows in to offer various benefits.

I could go on for days speaking about this as I'm quite excited for it but I'll leave a few links below. I feel this could be a really interesting game and hope they execute it well! It's been green lit on steam so in due time will be around there. As I said, it's quite refreshing to see something different from the masses of developers who attempted to recreate the limited success of Day Z.

TLDR: It's an awesome game, check the links below!
