Quick overview: A small open sandbox with survival elements and collectable creatures, a jetpack, skateboard, flamethrower, and more.

What is Capybara Game? How was the development process behind it?

Capybara Game is a once-in-a-lifetime project forged by the hands of a single developer all-powerful video game engineer.

 It all started with a Capybara model I found online, all thanks to obliviist. I messed around with it, added controls, tricks, eventually I added all sorts of mechanics. But then it hit me: This was my calling in life, developing Capybara Game. 

I quickly began adding enemies, houses, trees, and a way to eat all of them. It grew into quests and dialogue, day and night system, a hunger bar, I began 3D modelling for the first time. It was an educational experience, and Capybara Game was my teacher.

How long did it take to make Capybara Game?

It took approximately the lifespan of a house fly. It isn't complete, but it's a true product of time.

What animal in Capybara Game is the most fun? 

The mountain goat, because you can walk on walls and hit enemies a distance away. It also has a unique dash animation, which is nice.

What tool or item is the most fun?

Definitely the Skateboard. I like to combine it with the Beacon Cap and the Jetpack, so I can pretend to run away from my problems.

What is the game inspired by?

Goat Simulator and the Hungry Shark series. I like to think I made a mix between the two. They were my childhood growing up!

Is every animal that ends with -bara just a failed model that ended up not looking like the real animal and more like a Capybara?

What is your final statement to the readers before they leave forever?

Try it if you feel you like the idea. The main reason it is released in the state it is in now is because I am seeing if there's a point in adding more content like Mayhem Mode and new regions of the map - I also recognize that in order to create the best experience, I need feedback and critique. So if you try it, bring a comment my way! And thank you for reading!
