Facepunch Studios behind Rust and Garry's Mod have acquired an indie title in development, Before.
Before, the previously upcoming survival game by Facepunch Studios, has officially been cancelled. Sad news!
OnlySP: Bill Lowe, the developer of Before, has posted a blog update revealing new details about his latest game. Working with developers Facepunch Studios, Lowe describes what they’ve achieved since their last update earlier in the year.
I was wondering what was happening with this game - nice to see things are progressing... I think I'm ready to add it to my 'Indie games that won't suck' list, alongside Below, Cuphead, the Long Dark and No Man's Sky.
The Prehistoric Era has become a rather popular setting for games - Far Cry Primal, Wild, even Horizon: Zero Dawn has a 'caveman' vibe - but I think Before's social component, combined with the focus on survival gives it a more 'authentic' touch... The cartoony presentation is basically the opposite of 'Rust', but it has a similar level of depth with regards to the gameplay mechanics - the crafting system looks legit, there's a seasonal weather system, permadeath, breeding, the works!
Apparently Facepunch are working on getting their latest build ready for the public, which they want to have done by June... here's hoping they show some footage at E3.
Announcement Trailer of Before.
Agreed, this is one of the coolest ideas shown at TGA ATM. It has me curious in much the same way Wild (I think it was named that) from earlier this year.
I just want to see more and know where its going but it quickly got on my to watch list.
Now this looks cool! Love the style and the concept. Hoping it will be released for ps4 otherwise I may have to look into pc gaming
It really did, made the VGAs worth staying up until 5am
Love the music
Needs a PS4 release so I can play it
