Désilets focused on creating a toolbox for his new studio, which allowed characters to interact with the environment extensively.
The game was developed by Panache Digital Games, a studio opened in 2014 by game director Patrice Désilets after he left Ubisoft. Development Īncestors was directed by Patrice Désilets, his first game since Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (2010) The game is 40 to 50 hours long, and it documents the clan's evolution across eight million years. As hominids undergo procreation, unlocked skills are passed on to future generations. These skills, such as the ability to use both hands and stand upright, facilitate evolution. When an ape is sleeping, players can unlock new abilities by developing the hominid's neural system, which functions as a skill tree. As the clan slowly expands, the player character can perform social tasks like calling members of the clan to hunt and explore together, or migrating across the map to settle down in a new home. As the clan grows, players can switch to play as other characters such as an infant, an adult, an elder, and a mother carrying her child. The goal of the player is to ensure the hominid clan's survival as it slowly evolves and becomes a new species. If all clan members die, the lineage becomes extinct and players need to restart the game. If the player character dies, players will shift to controlling another clan member. As players continue to make new discoveries, the hominid become more intelligent and capable, and new skills such as using leaves to make bedding and medicinal plants to heal themselves are unlocked. The hominid can use its intelligence to pinpoint the locations of different items of interest and make new discoveries such as identifying new food or tools. While the world is dangerous, the apes can use their heightened senses to listen to various sounds, such as that of a predator, a lost clan member, or an outsider which can be recruited to the player's clans. When a hominid is exploring new locations or being hunted by predators, it will enter a state of "fear" which can be overcome by finding glowing orbs of light, or else it will descend into a state of hysteria. As players progress, new areas are opened up for players to explore. Players can climb trees, and will suffer injuries if they fall down or are attacked by predators. The game starts in a jungle in prehistoric Africa, an open world filled with threats including Machairodus, Metridiochoerus, Crocodylus thorbjarnarsoni, Adcrocuta hyenas, African rock python, giant miocene otters, African buffalo, and more. In the game, players control a member of a hominid clan and have to manage the player character's health by eating, drinking, and sleeping. In the screenshot, the ape is exploring the jungle with its clan members.Īncestors: The Humankind Odyssey is a survival game played from a third-person perspective. Would it be better to pass time and have my babies grow up, then look for outsiders? Any help would be appreciated.In the game, players guide a hominid from a third-person perspective. Should I even worry about this, or just go to the meteor? Also, what foods are best early game? It seems the food around camp has pretty much run out, so I am on borrowed time here. This leads me to my current goal of finding an outsider who is hopefully a fertile female.Īre the outsiders RNG, or do I need to venture to a specific spawn location? I have like nothing specced into my senses right now, so I’m having a hard time finding any. Curiously, I have an adult female who isn’t fertile and not family related to my elder male. I don’t want to check out the meteor till I have 6 babies, but I have no fertile females left to breed with. So I have a total of 4 babies including the two that were born without me needing to do anything. Now, I am left with one elder male, and one fertile female who birthed me two beautiful apes.
I got two of my males killed, then my third one died in the camp because he starved to death (I felt very stupid here). Anyways, I’ll cut to the chase.Īs a new player, I had no idea what I was doing. Hi all, loving this game so far due to the difficulty and confusion, to some extent.
