The core concept of the game is the circle of life and how we are all a part of it, due to that the game will heavily de-incentivise direct confrontation with the creatures, with the player needing to learn how to use the flora and fauna around him to effectively navigate and deal with the beasts

I'm currently working on some creature models and environment block-outs to test out the basic mechanics:
Creature and Plant Behaviour
Traversal mechanics for the main character
And a system where you can grab certain parts of a creature to temporarily use one of their abilities.
