Ferocious Makes a Big Impression at Games Germany Showcase
– 1 min read
Ferocious made a strong impression at the Games Germany Showcase. The graphically impressive dinosaur game is being developed at Omyog and will be published by tinyBuild.
Omyog and tinyBuild used the Games Germany Showcase to unveil a new trailer for Ferocious. After a catastrophic shipwreck, players awaken on a fog-shrouded and mysterious island. Its shores and jungles are teeming with both prehistoric life and a shadowy private army intent on keeping the island's secrets to themselves - inspired by classic pulp adventure stories like King Kong and modern tactical shooters like Crysis. It has been described as an old-school first-person shooter.
Omyog is a small independent development team led by Leonard Saalfrank. When the announcement was made, Saalfrank wrote on Steam: "My name is Leo, and I started working on Ferocious as a passion project back in 2018. The very first thing I made for this project was the plants, and I had always wanted to make a cool dynamic vegetation system for Unity. This gave me the inspiration to add more immersive elements, and before I knew it, I had a prototype for a game. Things progressed quickly from there - I found a great publisher in tinyBuild and hired a team to help turn this prototype into a full-fledged game. It's my first time leading a project, so it's quite an adventure for me!"
On the IGN channel, where the Games Germany Showcase was broadcast, the Ferocious trailer was the most viewed video of the show, with nearly 80,000 views in 14 hours.
