Dead by Daylight (opens in new tab) studio Behaviour Interactive unveiled a brand new “first-person constructing and raiding sport” known as Meet Your Maker that challenges gamers to construct and raid sprawling, fortified outposts within the horrific wasteland of the longer term.
The Earth is dying, you see, and relatively than addressing the basis causes (that is already not sounding like fiction), humanity’s overlords determined the factor to do was to create a synthetic being known as the Chimera, which is in some way going to avoid wasting what little life stays on the planet. However as a way to make that occur, the Chimera should evolve, and as a way to evolve, it wants pure genetic materials. That is the place you are available.
Utilizing a system of customizable digital constructing blocks, gamers will create their very own distinctive outposts and inventory them with traps and guards whose behaviors are managed by a easy AI recording system. These imposing, post-apocalyptic outposts are the place you will extract and defend that candy, candy genetic materials—GenMat, within the sport’s parlance. However after all, survival is a zero-sum sport—for me to reside, you need to die, or one thing like that—and so together with nurturing your individual GenMat, you additionally have to get on the market and steal everybody else’s, and smash up a few of their stuff when you’re at it.
Constructing and raiding in Meet Your Maker could be finished solo or in groups of two. Raiding is fully asynchronous, however the built-in recording system will allow gamers to see assaults on their outposts of their entirety, and to iterate their bases and modify their guards in response. Together with the genetic materials required to improve your Chimera, profitable raids can even grant new constructing assets and upgrades, permitting for extra (and extra harmful) base-building choices.
“The sport is constructed on UGC [user-generated content] and creates deep social connections, whether or not you play alone or co-op,” inventive director Ash Pannell mentioned. “As a builder, share your meticulously constructed Outpost and watch different gamers take them on through our replay system. It by no means will get outdated to observe others die. You’ll reap rewards and discover ways to strengthen your creation. As a raider, you’ll strive, die, retry, and finally acquire the information to extract that Genmat and exit victoriously. In each instances, it’s extremely entertaining and all the time enjoyable to observe.”
Meet Your Maker is anticipated to launch someday in 2023, however the first closed playtest is ready to start a lot sooner—on August 23. If you would like to test it out for your self, you’ll be able to join to participate at meetyourmakergame.com (opens in new tab).
