DUCKSIDE, a persistent world survival game with PVP, PVE, crafting, and base-building elements that is basically DayZ or Rust but with hat-wearing ducks that wield weapons, is currently in development, publisher tinyBuild and developer tinyBuildGAMES have announced. It’s unclear when the game will take flight, but sign-ups for the beta are now live on Steam.
Announcement trailer:
Game features:
- “Harvest resources, craft weapons and tools, and build shelters to protect your loot and your life.”
- “…sophisticated flight mechanics allowing you to glide, hover, accelerate and dive, even whilst shooting and fighting.”
- “…build nests for safety, storage, survival, and strategic advantage, but be warned: nothing is truly safe. Every structure can be destroyed, every stash of loot raided, and every migration could end in death.”
- “Play alone or create a flock with other ducks to build, explore, fight, and survive together.”
- “…humans stationed around the island that don’t seem to think it’s as fun being shot at by ducks as it is shooting ducks, you’ll need to deal with them too.”
tinyBuild on its new game:
Over 10 million ducks get killed per year by hunters, a statistic that would be much lower if ducks were combat trained. Enter DUCKSIDE, a persistent world survival game like DayZ or Rust… but you’re a duck, and so is everybody else.
