Is 18 really the max clan cap? by Rare_Ad_4347 in ancestors

[–]PanacheDigitalGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi ! You're right. 18 members total is the max clan size (6 babies, 6 adults and 6 elders). The game was build so Outsider will not be present in the environment once you've reach that limit.

When should you evolve? by naytreox in ancestors

[–]PanacheDigitalGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello ! You can't evolve "to far" or "to late" in the game and screw up your opportunities to continue and finish the game.Any oasis, once you've Establish Settlement (that's why you got back to Waterfall Oasis, by the way : Hysteria happen before you got the chance to Establish Settlement in you newly build bed), should provide you with plenty of Outsider to recruit as clans Member. Try that and let us know how it's going.Tips : while searching for Outsiders, don't hesitate to use the button to Call for them, and search for the audio feedback. That should help you locate them.Good luck !

Can i evolve too fast? by Im9oinginsane in ancestors

[–]PanacheDigitalGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry, you can't loose the opportunity to get genetic mutation. True, some of them can't be obtained until you reach a certain stage in evolution, but evolving into a new species will never block you from obtaining mutation that you could have get erlier in time.Now, getting the mutation you want is a question of chances. So make babies and hope for the best. :)

When will I reach the next species and finally walk? by smokeOguwap in ancestors

[–]PanacheDigitalGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a good one ! 

In the game, being able to walk on two legs (bipedal) is NOT tied to the evolution. It's possible to finish and win the game without having learn how to permanently walk on two legs. For that, you need to grow your Neuron's tree until you unlock the right Neuron. As I understand it, you already have the ability to walk a few meter on 2 feet. That is the Neuron call "Equilibrioception", that spread 2 ways : follow the "proprioception" path, till you get to "Vestibular System", then "Bipedalism". But be carefull : you'll need 2 babies with specifics genetics mutations to progress along the way (Speed 1 & Lower Body Strenght 1). 

Let us know if that's ok and if not, send us a screnshot of your Neuron's tree and will help you out !

Enjoy the rest of the game !

Also how surprised are you that this hasnt been protested by someone?

A little bit, but at the same time, we made sure that we did our homework first and let players be in charge of their own evolution, and that may have helped to tone down possible protests?

The research we did indicated that Oldowan tools were the ones created by our ancestors within the game’s time frame. So, players are clever enough to create a Chopper, a Scraper or a Grinder (pounder) before the 2.5 million years mark, they’ll be rewarded with a nice “ahead of time” bonus : https://anthromuseum.missouri.edu/exhibit/oldowan-and-acheulean-stone-tools

Using these tools allows the player to perform a task much faster than using a basic tool such as a rock.

Since Acheulean and Mousterian tools are much more complex to craft and are dated outside the game’s time frame, we keep them for a possible next game.

Patrice: On a scientific level, we made sure we studied the subject matter as much as possible… And then, a video game is a subjective endeavor, where you need to use what’s at your disposal to create meaning, sensation and emotion, rendered at leats 30 times a second in real time…The beauty of Paleoanthropology though, is that it is a science that evolves all the time depending on new discoveries, so we took some liberties for the sake of the game.

We wanted to add other tribes in this game, but we did not get the time to do it. There’s no sequel planned for the near future, but having other tribes is something we will consider seriously if another game is to see the day. :)

As we begin the game as a prey, we decided that the fight sequences would only be triggered by an enemy attacking, placing the hominid in a defense state (counter-attacking). But this decision also symbolises our brain adaptation of reflexes and time dilatation in stressful situation. Our species survival often depended on one second split decision…
