After his escape Adam finds himself on a foreign island, far away from home. In story mode, players experience the story of Adam, a little Nicheling cub that is captured by a bird of prey and just barely escaped being eaten. In the sandbox mode, players can create their own kind of challenges with a variety of custom settings.
Niche features a breeding system, based on real genetics, 5 different biomes to explore and procedurally generated worlds and animals with over 100 different genes to shape your own species. This is no simple feat, since the game world is crawling with dangers, such as predators, sicknesses and changing climates. You become the leader of a pack of mammal-like animals and try to survive against all odds. Niche – a genetics survival game is a single-player simulation/strategy game. And now Niche is finally coming to consoles. After it’s initial release on PC, we kept improving and expanding the game for several months. With the help of our community and coverage from various science websites, we managed to surpass our funding goal and started to work on the game of our dreams together. Cat, horse, and dog breeders joined the game’s community and made sure to scold me if I got the game’s genetics system wrong.Īt the same time a development team started to form around Niche and we decided to try our luck and launch a Kickstarter. After starting to post about the project, I soon realized that there are many gamers who share my interest in biology, animals, and evolution. And since I decided to study game design, but was always a bit sad that I didn’t choose to study biology, I decided to try and mix both of my interests and attempted to make a game about population genetics. With Niche, my goal has always been to try and see if biological principles can be turned into a fun game.
Niche – a genetics survival game started off as a university project which I kept working on after graduation as a hobby. It’s honestly very exciting for me, releasing a game on consoles for the first time.
