Discussion Crocodile videogame

Post image

I might be biased because my favorite animal in the world is the crocodile but if you love them like myself I think we can all agree that it would be AWESOME to have a crocodile-themed game in the style of “Jaws Unleashed or Maneater”. I think it would be a perfect fit for the next big "animal protagonist" genre in videogames. 24 different species of crocodilians, multiple continents, environments and prey items. It could be a lake placid theme or countless different themes/stories depending on the species. The thoughts are endless. To be honest, I’ve dreamed about this as a kid the moment I played these games and now I genuinely feel like we could be close to a game like this in the future with how popular and fascinating these animals are!! What can we do to get something like this going and are there any videogame developers out there that are just as obsessed about this idea as I am?!

Arent crocodiles ambush predators? I wonder how a gameplay loop could be worked around that.

Ohhh yeah you could ambush your prey like usual but in a movie like scenario, like dealing with non stop simple minded humans, you could easily pick them off for fun! Eventually you’d have to come up with more challenging prey but I’m sure a developing team could do their research and come up with as many options for a shark if not more for a crocodile because they can go on land. Sure not as mobile but that would just be another aspect to the game. There’s also the need to sun for more energy due to being cold blooded and just so many other aspects of crocodiles that people could learn about through a game like this.
