Welcome to DUCKSIDE: persistent world survival… on QUACK Over 10 million ducks get killed per year by hunters, a statistic that would be much lower if ducks were combat trained. Enter DUCKSIDE, a persistent world survival game like DayZ or Rust… but you’re a duck, and so is everybody else!! It’s a hard Duck life Wake up at the quack of dawn and put those webbed feet to use or take flight across an expansive island, where valuable resources and egg-citing treasures await any lucky duckys fortunate enough to discover them. Are you a chicken? No, you’re a DUCK. DUCKSIDE isn’t just about surviving; it’s about getting into the mind of a duck. Being a duck. Feeling the cold steel of a machine gun on your feathers. The heat of a grenade exploding next to you. And the peace of mind that comes with settling down after a long day, in a house you built out of trash that you’d looted off some guy’s corpse. Don’t be a chicken, be a firequacker. Get your ducks in a row Harvest resources, craft weapons and tools, and build shelters to protect your loot and your life. How do Ducks even hold weapons and tools, you ask? Who cares silly goose? With a crafting system as deep and robust as this, they were wise to adapt, else they’d just be hanging around in ponds all day waiting to be added to that “10 million” statistic. The sky(box) is the limit Are you really a Duck if you can’t fly? No, you’re a penguin or something. So yes, you CAN fly ; we’ve introduced an egg-cellent player controller with sophisticated flight mechanics allowing you to glide, hover, accelerate and dive, even whilst shooting and fighting! A world of fowl play An alive Duck can keep his gear safe and his teammates alive.. A dead duck however, is much less useful. Afterall – birds of a feather stay together. Don’t be a duckling – get yourself equipped, build nests for safety, storage, survival, and strategic advantage, but be warned: nothing is truly safe. Every structure can be destroyed, every stash of loot raided, and every migration could end in death. There’s no such thing as too many ducks Play alone or create a flock with other ducks to build, explore, fight, and survive together. Ducks are fiercely territorial, so encounters with opposing ducks can and will often result in some feathers being ruffled. ARE YOU GONNA BE A SITTING DUCK, OR A BIRD OF PREY?
