Aderyn's Cradle - Indiegogo Updates

Several updates for Aderyn's Cradle have passed since the last time we reported about the game, that has a hard time reaching it's stretch goal on Indiegogo.

The most recents ones are about the Bayou.

No environment like the Bayou’s exists on Earth. The Bayou’s wilderness is a marshy fungal forest, where mushroom stalks grow as tall as trees, and mycelial lattices grow so large and sturdy that entire villages can be built among them. Before the Soulfire Crisis, the Bayou attracted many explorers of all sorts, from the curious to the profit-seeking. Unusual species of bugs, the size of mammals on Earth, populate the Bayou as well. Some were domesticated by humans, and used as mounts, companions, or even livestock. Aderians built many villages and towns here, including Hercynia Silva, known throughout the Cradle for housing the most ethnically and economically diverse population witnessed in any of the four regions. Early in Aderian history, Hercynia, a port city, became an important center of both cultural and mercantile exchange; in no small part thanks to the incredibly versatile and valuable nature of fungal wood.

The wilds of the Bayou are filled with exquisitely unique and complex life forms, each containing many useful qualities. Enormous insects, used as mounts, grant a variety of useful byproducts for use in the game’s crafting systems. As everywhere in the banished Cradle, the natural world here not only presents new challenges, it becomes a living tool to overcome them.

...

The enemies you’ll encounter in the Bayou have all become victims of the altered evolutionary processes caused by Ostia. They’ll be seen in varying states of mutation from Life force, whether that has caused them to accelerate in growth, or cling to a haunting existence in the face of decay. Each humanoid monster represents a warped version of their own greed and insatiable appetite for natural resources to harvest and export for profit. Meanwhile, other native species will have adapted independently of Ostia’s direct touch, each one developing new features to fit among the new niches left by their smote cohabitants.

Thanks Eye.
