Maneater FAQ

[Sinopia]

What is Maneater?
Maneater is a single-player action RPG set in the waters of the Gulf Coast. As a lone young shark, you will need to battle enemies, eat, grow, and evolve to survive in this massive open world.

How many playable shark species are there?
Currently, only the bull shark is playable. But other sharks are planned, including the great white, mako, hammerhead, thresher, and tiger sharks.

What platforms does Maneater support?
Currently Maneater only supports Windows PC.

Does Maneater have controller support?
Upon initial release it will not. But controller support is one of the future goals during Maneater's time in early access!

Will Maneater have Steam achievements / trading cards / backgrounds / emoticons / badges?
Yep!

Will the game be multi-player?
No. Maneater is exclusively single-player.

Is Maneater in VR?
There are no plans for VR at this time.

Who created Maneater?
Maneater is being developed by the team Blindside Interactive and the minds behind Depth and Killing Floor.

Is Maneater related to Depth?
No. Maneater is a completely different game created by a different development team, and the two worlds have no ties.

Why is Maneater using Depth assets?
Many Maneater developers were the original creators of Depth. Even after breaking off, both teams are still on good terms. The Maneater team still owns rights to Depth assets, but these are placeholder and will be replaced in the future.

Where can I get updates on the game?
There will be announcements in this community hub, however here are some links to Maneater's social media and websites:

I can only promise English for now, but supporting other languages is something the Maneater team wants to do. I'll update the post with new information whenever I recieve it. :)

I don't see using Depth assets, presumably the shark models, as a bad thing. :)
And that's just as the starting point? I say nice~

As I've said before, easily the most accurate 3D models for a Mako Shark in a game.
Hell, more accurate than the 'big budget' CGI ones from Deep Blue Sea.

The Great White is only slightly bettered by the one in PSVR's Ocean Descent, however, that's mainly down to how highly animated it is - flexing muscles, gills reacting to how much waters flowing over them when it open/closes its jaws, etc. All much easier to do in a scripted tech demo scenario that essentially has most of a PS4's processing power dedicated to it.
But the shaping is pretty close to spot on. Maybe the tail looks a little small in the renders, but that could have done for visibility in the 3rd person gameplay. Sometimes you just have to make those gameplay calls!

I'll be hoping you can top Endless Ocean 2's Tiger Shark when you get to it! ;)

(Can you tell I spent some time on the ArtStation pages of Alexandria Condon, Robert Fink, etc?)

Idk but I surely hope it is! :D

It is open world. It's not quite like Subnautica, which, iirc, is mostly completely open water with different biomes. There certainly will be a lot of open ocean in Maneater, but it will also have many paths that lead to unique places to explore.
