Об игре(инглиш)

 

As a contestant in the deadly game of The Culling, you must explore, scavenge items, craft weapons, and build traps that will enable you to slay your fellow contestants and emerge victorious before the end of the round. Only with cunning, skill, and a little luck will you be able to prevail and survive the match.

 

Unlike add-on modes in open-world survival games, The Culling redefines the battle royale genre by providing a tightly focused stand-alone experience that delivers incredible thrills and endless story-worthy moments.

 

 

Features at Early Access Launch

 

Game Modes

 

 

The core of The Culling is an online 16-player battle royale, played solo or in teams of two. Matches last approximately 20 minutes, with deadly poison gas slowly constricting the arena in the final stages. The winning player (or team) is the last left alive.

 

With no respawning on death, you have to make every action count. Play too cautiously and you won’t be prepared for the final clash at the end of the match, too aggressively and you might not make it past the first few minutes.

 

Weapons and Combat

 

 

The Culling focuses heavily on melee combat. Use jabs, charged swings, blocks, and shoves in a system that’s simple learn, but requires practice to truly master.

 

There are 24 melee weapons in the form of blades, axes, bludgeons, and spears. There are multiple tiers of weapons, which deal different levels of damage, from the lowly crafted stone knife to the mighty Katana. Different weapons types also apply different wounds, which factors into combat strategy. All melee weapons can be thrown, adding the potential for ranged combat in any encounter.

 

There is also a variety of ranged weapons, including bows, blowguns, and even highly-coveted firearms. A gun isn’t a guaranteed kill, however, as ammunition is in short supply and ranged players can be disarmed by melee strikes if they don’t keep their distance.

 

Traps

 

Players who thrive on outwitting their enemies can sample from a collection of traps in the form of snares, mines, remote-detonated explosives, caltrops, and punji sticks. Matches are fast-paced, so sneaky players must lay their traps in hot spots (such as near an airdrop landing pad) or use themselves as bait to lure opponents in.

 

Items

 

A wide range of utility items is at your disposal, with everything from backpacks to smoke bombs, run speed stims to stun guns, player tracking devices to bandages. You start each match empty-handed, so you must explore to survive. Inventory space is extremely limited, forcing you to think carefully about how you intend to play and what you want to carry.

 

Crafting

 

The Culling utilizes a unique crafting system that is very simple to use (no bulky UI-heavy inventory management) but still offers a wide range of recipes. Players can craft rudimentary weapons, a wide range of traps, and a handful of useful items, including bandages, satchels, and even body armor.

 

 

Perks

 

Each contestant chooses 3 perks before the start of a match. There are dozens of perks available, and they range from combat bonuses (increase the duration of bleed wounds you apply with blade weapons) to crafting skills (reduce your trap placement time), to general utility (begin the match with a tracking device in your inventory).

 

All of the perks are available to all players from the start with no unlocking required. You can use perks to define and enhance your personal play style, whether it be focused on ranged, melee, or trap-based strategy. Advanced players will find helpful synergies between their perk load-out and their airdrop selection.

 

Airdrops

 

Players select a personal airdrop to call in during the match. Air drops are deadly care packages containing a predefined variety of weapons, traps and items. Be careful, because calling in an airdrop draws attention to you and can be stolen by other players (especially if they manage to shoot it out of the sky before it arrives).

 

New airdrops are unlocked by opening the container, so finding a random airdrop during a match or stealing another player’s airdrop will unlock it in your list.

 

Game Show Events

 

The Culling is the most popular game show in the history of the world, and for good reason. The show’s producers have devised events that take place at random during the match. If you choose to participate in these events, the rewards can improve your chances of winning, but don’t be surprised when other players arrive to challenge you.

 

FUNC

 

Flexible Universal Nano-Compound, or FUNC, serves as the primary in-game currency. You spend FUNC to craft, call in personal airdrops, and open certain types of item chests. FUNC is gained through combat and exploration.

 

Character Customization

 

Players start the game with a variety of hairstyles, tops, pants, and skin tones at their disposal. Through playing matches, new customization items can be unlocked. There are over 100 items available to unlock, with many more planned.

 

Audio

The Culling places a heavy gameplay emphasis on audio. Making noise by sprinting through the jungle crafting items, slamming doors, and engaging in combat will draw the attention of other players far and wide.

 

Using audio cues to locate opponents and using the crouch mode to conceal your movements add tremendously to the game’s suspense and immersion.

 

Map Exploration

 

The Culling ships with one map set on a tropical island. The map size has been carefully tuned to provide just enough space for 16 contestants, but also to ensure than no one is safe for long. The map is populated with landmarks, buildings (full of lockers and crates containing items), hidden caches, and hazards.

 

Many of these elements are random, meaning map knowledge is important, but offers no guarantees. When the match starts, you can choose to immediately set about crafting some basic survival tools, or sprint to the nearest building in the hopes that it will contain valuable items.

 

Tutorials and Offline Training Mode

 

The Culling can be intimidating for new players, so we’ve included basic and advanced tutorials that will help you learn all of the game’s mechanics.

If you’re still not ready to face players online, there is an offline practice mode against basic AI-controlled bots that will allow you to practice in a low-pressure situation.

 

Steam Items

 

No contestant leaves a match of The Culling empty-handed. Cosmetic items (hats, hair styles, shirts, and pants) are awarded at the end of each round, with rarer items rewarded for better performance. These items are tradeable on the Steam Market.

 

 

 

Почему ранний доступ?

“Until now, battle royale has been limited to add-on modes found in various open-world survival games. We are building The Culling from the ground up as the first stand-alone entry in the battle royale genre. Our goal is to not only for The Culling to be the genre leader, but also to grow into a popular e-sport.

 

While those are lofty goals for a small indie studio like ours, our team is staffed with industry veterans and we know we’re up to the task. The initial heavy-lifting is already done. We are confident that we have a solid core game (we know because our whole team plays the latest build together for at least an hour every day).

 

Now we need to grow a community that will help us focus and prioritize our efforts as we move forward. There’s still a lot of room for new features, balance, polish, optimization, and variety. We’d like you to help us get there.”

 

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

 

“We expect The Culling to remain in Early Access for approximately one year, with a full release coming sometime in 2017.”

 

Чем планируемая полная версия будет отличаться от версии в раннем доступе?

“While the Early Access launch version feels like a complete game (albeit in need of some debugging, polish, and optimization) there’s a lot we intend to add. Our roadmap will be largely defined by feedback we receive from the community, but here are our thoughts as we enter Early Access:

Female character model

Additional character model heads/faces

New weapons, traps, and items

New maps

New game modes

New clothing customization items

New avenues for customization, i.e. custom weapon skins for personal airdrops

Localized languages

Controller support

Robust in-game team communication system

Additional map hazards

Additional game show events

Improved bot AI for offline practice

Support for custom servers

A robust metagame experience

”

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

“All of the features listed in the “About This Game” section are in an Alpha state or better, meaning they have been iterated to be fun, functional, balanced, and stable. With that said, we are constantly iterating further and trying out new features, which means new bugs will find their way into the build.

 

We also have ongoing work to do with performance optimization, network optimization, and hardware compatibility.”

 

Будет ли разница в цене до и после раннего доступа?

“It is possible that as we add content and features to the game we will consider raising the price. This is not something we can determine until we’ve had the opportunity to monitor our progress during Early Access.”

 

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в развитие игры?

“We intend to share our Trello roadmap with the community, with the ability to vote on which features you want to see us focus on next. We also intend to interact directly with the community via forums and publish detailed notes each time we release an update.

 

Updates to the game will be frequent and significant throughout the Early Access phase and we’re looking forward to having you along for the ride!”

пожзе должны сервера еу добавить енивей

 

вчера какого то задрота челика смотрел

 

что я более менее уяснил: партий примерно минут 15-20 (может меньше)

первые 5 минут парни ебашат деревья и камни чтобы закрафтить себе луки\топоры эцт

везучие могут найти гранаты\бензопилы

потом среди зелени и болот начинается рубилово, почти все отсиживаются на своих лагерях и ждут из засады

когда те кто к ним идут тоже в свою очередь пытаются напасть из засады

 

драка условными топорами довольно долгая

каждый удар вроде 10-12 дамага наносил, получается там чтобы убить кого либо нужно 10 раз точно по нему попасть!

плюс удар по блоку станит тебя на ~0.5 сек. ну и считайте там если два потных столкнутся, минут 5 бугут бегать вокруг друг друга и пиздиться.

но зато бензопила за секунду бошку срубает лол

 

немного дисбаланс как по мне

 

пока сыровато если честно, но если сделать как надо выйдет охуенчик

может у меня ложное впечатление сложилось по стриму, но тот парень хорошо играл, видно было что он прям не супер задрот, но примерно типичный парень из рейтинговых игр в ксе, или что то в этом роде.

0 лагов

какая то атмосфера в игре, знаете, играешь в батэл рояль армы 3 или хизи, хуйня по сравнению с этим

движуха постоянная

ну сам играл офк игр 20

имеются перки всякие ( в зависимости каким стилем игры хочешь играть) ловушки ставить, луком стрелять и т.д.

еще в голос короче с момента был, по своему скромному опыту, челик забежал в дом от меня, и ждет сидит ( рядом с домом стоят контейнеры с газом, которые можно активировать) , пока он сидел и ждал, что я якобы забегу, активировал контейнер и его убило там

+ можно наблюдать за игрой, если умер (удобно если играешь с друзьями или в тиме)

и графон топчик, ну офк мой комп изи ультра тянет, все красиво, гавно компы скорее всего страдают...

ну игра намного лучше, как по мне чем остальные батэл рояли

и да забыл самое главное, ТОПОВЫЙ ГОЛОС КОММЕНТАТОРА арены, это просто эпик
