Hi everyone, this is my first blog post so hopefully it will be a good one! For the past 9 months I have been working on a single player only post-apocalyptic RPG using TGE. I figure I'm about 60% done now, I was trying to get this game done by the end of the year but I doubt that's going to happen. I'm hoping for January or February of next year. I'll list some highlights and features and of course including some screen shots. I welcome any feedback, questions and comments.
Story
A large comet crashes in Asia and starts a chain reaction that effectively shuts down the human race. The comet itself didn't kill a lot of people but after the hit fuel and food supplies become very scarce. Shortly after the event, every major city in the world goes to war with neighboring cities to defend or take what little supplies are left. Within 1 year most of the human race is dead from war, starvation and the cold. Then for an unknown reason groups of mutants (some might even call them zombies) start to appear and feed on what's left of the human population. Small pockets of people get whatever materials are available and build small towns and try to start over. That's where The Ancient Equation begins.
Feature List
- Playtime will be around 80 to 100 hours
- Over 150 unique missions
- Control a party of up to 6 characters with each having their own special abilities and stats
- Over 70 feats and skills to choose from
- Over 60 ranged and melee weapons
- Dozens of unique items and enhancements
- Over 20 non-human enemies
- Over 30 mutant enemies with each having a special attack. For example, the Underwood mutant doesn't have any internal organs so it takes very little damage from bullets
- Dozens of places to explore such as old military bunkers, pirate bases, lost government labs, etc
- Over 100 items to use
- Turn based tactical combat
- Over 30 telekinetic powers to use
- Almost 200 different characters to interact with
This is the main play screen.
This is the inventory. As you can see you will have a good variety and weapons and armor to choose from
World map, there will be 13 cities to travel to and of course dozens of other locations as well.
This is just one of many buildings to explore
