Ashes Of Creation Spotlights Animal Husbandry And Previews The Py’Rai Race

Intrepid Studios has just released their Ashes of Creation development update for February which shines the spotlight on several new features and updates coming to the sandbox MMORPG in its next alpha build.

During the livestream, the team put special emphasis on the game’s animal husbandry system which will allow players to tame and breed the local fauna. Real-world genetics based on Gregor Mendel’s principles of inheritance with a bit of magic and development pizzazz added to keep things interesting. Appearance, traits, abilities, and combat efficacy among others can be ed down to offspring with no two creatures being exactly alike. Rare mutations may even occur which will result in entirely new creatuers.

Aside from taming and breeding, the developers also gave the community their first look at the updated and reworked Py’Rai race and offered a bit more information on the antlered race. The antlers will help distinguish the Py’Rai from traditional wood elf races found in the fantasy genre and those in other games and can be tweaked and adjusted as part of the character customization process.

There’s still no word on when Alpha 2 will kick off but rest assured that we’ll let you know as soon as we hear something. In the meantime, you can find out more about animal husbandry and the Py’Rai in the full February development update below.
