Sneak Peek : Meet Your New Dog Companion!
Voidecho Studio
Hello survivors!
Here’s a small sneak peek (coming Soon) at something new I’ve been working on for Not Quite Dead a German Shepherd companion!
For the first version, I’m keeping the system simple and useful. Your dog will be able to:
- Follow you while you explore
- Stay in place when commanded
- Carry a small amount of gear in its own storage inventory
- Automatically catch up to you if it gets stuck or falls too far behind
- Remain your persistent companion through normal gameplay
- You will be able to pet it.
The goal for now is to make the dog feel like a useful travel companion — and basically a little mobile backpack with legs.
This is only the beginning. In future updates, I’d like to expand the system with things such as:
- More dog interactions and gestures
- Combat behavior
- Additional commands
- The ability to discover hidden or buried loot
The system is still a work in progress, so more testing and polish are coming before it’s ready.
Let me know what you think, and what kind of interactions you’d like to see with your dog in the future!
Thank you again for all the support.
— The Developer
