Stranded: Alien Dawn Developer Journal - Mastering Animal Taming & Training!
Exciting New Update for Stranded: Alien Dawn: Tame and Train Feature Announced
The gaming community is buzzing with anticipation as Haemimont Games prepares to launch the Tame and Train Update for Stranded: Alien Dawn, a simulation and strategy game that combines survival mechanics with engaging gameplay. Scheduled for release on January 24, 2023, this update introduces a fascinating animal taming feature, enhancing the survival experience for players.
In a recent developer journal, Bisser Dyankov, CEO of Haemimont Games, shared insights into the new mechanic, explaining that the decision to incorporate animal taming stemmed from a desire to reflect the real-world bond between humans and animals, especially in survival situations. This new feature allows players to tame wild animals, turning them into companions that can aid in various tasks.
To initiate the taming process, players will first need to research Animal Taming at the Research Bench and observe the local wildlife to determine each animal's preferred food. Successful taming attempts will depend on the survivor's Farming skill and the careful selection of food. Additionally, players will have access to a special tool called the Pacifier, which helps to tranquilize aggressive creatures, making them easier to approach for taming.
The benefits of taming animals are multifaceted. Players can utilize tamed creatures as resource providers, breeding them for food, or even training them for defensive support during base attacks. However, maintaining the well-being of these new companions is crucial; players must ensure they are well-fed and content to prevent them from becoming a threat to the survivor group.
The update also introduces a new character, Hugo Delano, an animal expert who will assist players in mastering the taming feature. His inclusion promises to enhance the gameplay experience for those eager to delve into this new aspect of survival.
As the launch date approaches, the developers are excited to share the intricate details of animal taming with the community. A live demonstration is scheduled for January 23 at 3:30 PM GMT, where players can see the new feature in action on platforms like Twitch and YouTube.
For those wanting to stay updated on the latest news and developments, joining the Stranded: Alien Dawn Discord server and following the game on its social media channels is highly encouraged. With the Tame and Train Update just around the corner, players are poised for an enriched gaming experience.
