I would say there are plenty of things to hype about Fractured, and that should lead to further conversations.
-
The three planet system. Providing a multi-faceted play experience for many different types of play style. I fully enjoy the PV-Choice (PVP or PVE) as a leader of a community this allows all of my members to feel like they have something to play and their way.
-
The ongoing and obtained progress that is occurring in development. Spotlights, information drops, and updates.
-
Developer response on the forums and Discord. Fast, friendly, and informative developer response is amazing.
-
Milestones. They already hit Alpha 1, phase 1. They hit a milestone, something tangible. I can show my gaming community the skeleton of the product. This allows people to see how gameplay would be, even if it’s rough at this time.
-
NO NDA, allowing multiple conversations to actually occur about the product. This shows anyone that they’re not hiding something. It allows those without Alpha access to get involved with suggestions and comments.
In regards to fishing it does a multitude of things, imo. It provides a new way to generate resources. It shows that they are looking at ways to expand interaction in the world. Same goes for animal taming. To some it might not be that interesting, but to me it shows that their stretch goals aren’t huge scope increases, but are things people want and associate with games in accordance with MMOs and Sandbox games.
