New video - The Isle video essay
Added 2021-05-16 22:24:22 +0000 UTCGood evening folks. So the rendering took much of the weekend, with quite a number of failed files at the end of it. But I think I've got a complete version if you wanted to have a look at it - https://youtu.be/L0Vs_9hFAzY
Once again, thank you for your patience!
Feedback is very much appreciated. Be it good or bad. It'll better help me adjust content in the future.
The purpose of this video is purely to talk about some of the interesting design choices being made with The Isle, along with some of its competitors. Which all seem to focus on playing as dinosaurs in a very classic, non-basebuildy survival way.
But similarly, how interesting it is in the context of the wider survival market, which typically replicate many of the elements that have come before in other games (most notably Minecraft and DayZ due to their massive player bases), without really experimenting with them. Meaning that The Isle didn't need to do a lot in order to find fresh territory in the genre.
Also, let me know if you think any other major survival game influences should be added to that bubble map. I added as many as I could before it seemed impractical. But naturally there may be others with a sway you might be able to see clearer? It shouldn't be too difficult to add others.
I very much hope you like it though. Looking forward to hearing your collective thoughts.
