Shattered Dreams
The game is set in a futuristic post-apocalyptic Earth brought about with magic. It contains elements from popular games of
similar genres: exploration, adventure, shooting, and magic. It will be in multiple perspectives, making it more versatile than
most games. The game is based around the life of an apocalypse survivor trying to live in the wastelands and flying cities,
gathering supplies to survive for longer. The survivor is customisable, making it easier for the player to connect to: facial build,
body build, gender, etc. All that is set out for the player is the survivors recent past, leaving the future and pre-apocalypse life
entirely up to the player to determine (or not).
The gameplay is straight-forwards at first, but becomes more challenging and complex later on as the player is met with
harder/longer tasks to complete. The game is a one-off payment, with no hidden costs; all players will have access to the same
content, nothing can be purchased with real currency. An internet connection is required for updates and patches – there is
free DLC for the player to download/enable once they have completed the initial game.
Early game
Early game is relatively simple; the player only has to deal with a few elements of survival: food, drink, sleep, HP, MP. A lot of
the world is already open to the player, with only a little area denial for the hardest areas in the world to prevent the player from
wandering into a quick death. The spawning/close areas are peaceful, and transition into passive, then aggressive with scaling
difficulty the further the player travels into the aggressive area. Fast travel is enabled by default, but can be disabled for a more
immersive experience.
Late game
Late game becomes much more of a dangerous beast to tackle; temperature and sanity become a survival factor, as well as
2. health and illness’ appearing now and then to make the player by medicine and anti-bacterial to not get de-buffs from attracting
illness’. Enemies appear stronger and in greater mass, as well as surprise attacks and ambushes to throw the layer off from
time to time.
???
Who are they? They could be someone you know; they could be a goblin, they could be Gandalf for all you know… but you do
know. The character looks like the one that comes to mind, or the closest thing to it. The character is entirely customizable,
and all I’ll tell you is that they have wound up spending all their money to sleep for 3 nights in a decent hotel in the floating city
known as “Brass Vegas”. What happens next is your own choice.
