2. High Concept
Deserted is going to be an
action role-playing survival
game. It will be a non-linear
open world game, with an
objective of finding your way
back to civilization after being
involved in a plane crash on an
island.
3. In order to survive the player will
have to complete tasks and learn
skills. For example, you will need to
gather resources such as wood, and
learn how to conduct your own fire.
A key element of our game will be
character development, and the
player will be able to level up
different skills by using them, such
as fire building, hunting, stealth, and
electronic repair.
Fire could be a useful tool to warm
you while in the snow, provide light
at night, and even could be used in
defense. Be careful though, the light
and smoke it emits could also attract
other predators!
4. Open World
This game will have an open
world design, with nonlinear
game play. The player can
travel as they wish
throughout the land, and
discover different locations
and climates as they travel.
In areas of snow you must be
careful not to contract
hypothermia. If you are at a
high altitude you will need
to travel slowly to acclimate
or you might be forced travel
back down the mountain to
regain your energy.
5. Survival
In addition to having to cope with
elements of nature, it will be essential to
find nourishment to keep your energy up
as well. Players can opt to kill animals for
meat or pick berries- but beware of
poisonous species!
6. Enemies
In addition to finding
basic necessities such as
warmth and food, you
must also watch out for
predators! You must
decide whether to use
your stealth skills to
hide from wild animals,
or to create strong
enough weapons to fight
them.
7. Getting off
the Island
Your ultimate goal of the
game is to find a way back to
civilization. There are
different paths to doing this,
including crafting a boat,
finding parts and repairing a
radio, or finding flares and
signaling planes.
