[2022] [Suggestions & Feedback Request] Ashes of Creation Desert Biome

Hello glorious community,

Making sure that each of the biomes on Verra feels unique is something that matters to us, and we want you to let us know in this thread what you’d like to encounter in the desert biome.

If you haven't seen the Alpha Two desert biome preview we shared during the July 2022 Development Update, you can check out this three-minute video here.

To help guide this conversation, here are a few thought starters:

• Are there certain aspects of deserts that you like from other games?
• What deserts in games stand out for you?
• Are there certain points of interest you would like to see in deserts?
• Are there desert tropes you would like us to include or avoid?
• Which unique creatures do you think should be found in deserts?
• What kind of desert weather and seasonal effects do you wish were found in more games?

Please don’t feel limited by the thought starters above. Feel free to share any suggestions you have for our desert biome.

We’ll be compiling a report for the design team on Friday, August 12, 2022, so please try to get your suggestions into this thread or over on our forums by then! In addition, this will also be the topic of this week's Community Office Hours in voice chat in our Discord on Thursday, August 11.

Everyone here at Intrepid Studios looks forward to reading all the feedback you have to share regarding things you’d love to see in the desert biome!
