DUCKSIDE launches in Early Access on September 25
Final open beta test begins today, ends September 17.
Multiplayer open-world survival shooter DUCKSIDE will launch in Early Access for PC via Steam on September 25, publisher tinyBuild and developer tinyBuild Riga announced.
A final open beta will begin today and end on September 17, building on the feedback the development team has received from players over the course of past betas, and introducing many fan-requested fixes and improvements, including a resource balance rework, new weapons (traps, axes, and land mines), night-vision goggles, a mixing table, and colorblind profiles for greater accessibility.
Here is an overview of the game, via tinyBuild:
About
In DUCKSIDE, you’ll fight against feathered and featherless foes while gathering loot and materials to create a base, solo or with a flock. Other ducks may be looking to steal your items from under your beak, so protect your territory! Build a giant base, team up with friends to hunt, or simply steal from other ducks. The possibilities are endless in this persistent-world survival shooter filled with ducks, guns and never-ending quacking.
New in Early Access
- New Horizons – Ducks love migrating to new areas! To ensure our feathered friends have access to exciting new types of weather, desert and snow biomes will be added to the game.
- Dexterous Ducks – Updated animations for holding, shooting, and gathering will be added (at the cost of the ducks losing telekinetic control of weapons and objects).
- The Iron Age (for Ducks) – A brand-new, extra-large furnace is on its way, specifically designed to smelt large amounts of ore and create Chainsaws and Jackhammers, some of the new tools coming in early access.
- New Weapons – Our feathered physicians have told many ducks never to use alcohol while operating heavy weaponry. To ensure this never happens, a Distillery is being added to the game along with a recipe for Molotov cocktails, as well as Bazookas (a new raid weapon which will replace the old boring grenade launchers).
- Watery Resources – Platforms have appeared on the water’s surface. No one really knows where they came from, but ducks can gather supplies from them.
- Dynamic NPC Behavior – The human NPCs (Non-Plumed Characters) will become smarter, faster to act and more aggressive.
