This is Jade, Sons Of The Forest update Yes, people are disappointed that the game has been delayed several times, but remember, this is a small studio, not very big, I believe 20-25 people, and they are making a sequel to one of the best survival games ever made, selling millions of copies on PC and consoles, so let’s give the developers a little slack, we aren’t actually owed anything, no one has put any pre-orders down, and no money has been lost. We’re not owed anything and no one has lost any money The developers like many game studios have been influenced by Kovid, which means they really want this game to be of the best quality before it actually launches Anyway, we’ve got a Sons Of The Forest steam page and are reading a whole bunch of new content I’ve been on twitter to announce that it will launch in October.
Interestingly enough, they’ve got a new publisher, a new night, and I’m sure they made it up.
So we’ll dive into that stuff too, but let’s take a look at the steam page with new screenshots and everything you need to know Searching for a missing billionaire on a remote island You find yourself in a cannibal-infested hellscape, crafting and struggling to survive, alone or with friends in this terrifying new open-world survival horror simulator with straightforward new sentences that give us so much of the story Who is the missing billionaire, it’s old Timmy, it’s his dad, it’s everyone else, it’s totally like this Don’t cry over spoilers Forest has been out for seven years and apparently had its last update four years ago, so I think we can now move beyond it and have total freedom to handle the world as you want, you decide what you do, where you go, how best to survive, no Npcs barking orders, you give your tasks you don’t want to do, you give orders, you choose what happens next fighting demons into a world where no place is safe against a mutated creature, some of whom are almost human armed with pistols, axes, stun buttons and more weapons to protect yourself and those you care about, make fires with sticks, chop up windows and floors with axes, build a cabin or a compound by the sea, the choice is yours in your hands.
Collect and store meat during the cold winter months You’re not alone on this island, so when winter comes and food and resources become scarce, you won’t be the only one looking for food Survive alone or share items with friends, build defenses together Bring back above and below ground to explore There are no system requirements listed yet for single player online co-op I think the most interesting thing is how they really market the complete freedom to do what you want to do in the forest The complete freedom to do what you want to do in the forest.
A lot of survival games have tried to do this, but none of them have done it, and it would be a good idea that come winter, you might be attacked by more cannibals because they’re just looking for more food than usual. But we can only presume it’s similar to what we’ve seen in the past, which is four people, unless you have a dedicated server, but I know in the past, dedicated servers could run it through mods and other things, but yes, I imagine it’s only four people at most. The new screenshots, the world looks absolutely amazing and the photos are very realistic, check out the state of this new tree mutant, Holy Shmoly definitely looks amazing, we already knew about this guy, but yeah, seeing it like this, of course, we have this and the typical weapons that we’ve seen, but it’s much more detailed, the leaves, the background, it’s just of course , there’s also some screenshots that we’ve seen before on twitter showing more cannibals being stalked and using the heads to scare them, hunting turtles, good old fashioned weapons, we’ve seen a huge selection of things shown on twitter, the look of different guns shotguns and stuff. And of course the taser, the dynamite and the typical stuff that you might expect in a forest game, it’s crazy, look at this little cross, or even this will be some kind of weapon or lucky charm, all kinds of different axes and of course the shovel, which will be the new mechanic, digging into the ground for another picture.
