Hello! Just finished watching the Text101 Game Design video and thought I’d share an idea for such a game I had bouncing around in my head afterward.
The theme for the game is a far-flung post-apocalyptic future - the feel I’m going for is similar to that of Code Vein, like in the attached image:
The player takes on the role of a former coma patient, waking up in a distant future that is a far cry from the world you knew. Ominous, jagged spires dot the landscape, piercing through the old remnants of civilization, and the survivors of what appears to be a related, calamitous event struggle to survive amongst the ruins.
The goal is to learn more about the world around you, find out why civilization fell to ruin, and seek out a place of safety away from the groups of raiders and bandits that have formed in the aftermath of the calamity.
