We approach the original book by Daniel Defoe with great respect and want to recreate the story for players of all ages to enjoy.
We try to achieve as much of a cinematic atmosphere as possible using realistic mocap animations and the state-of-the-art Unreal Engine. The main story will be interwoven with lots of cutscenes that will immerse the player into the character of Robinson.
We know very well that gameplay makes fun, so we put a lot of emphasis on combat mechanics, which combined with mocap animations from experienced actors are very natural. We didn't forget the build system and the possibilities of human or animal companions.
Thanks to years of experience in professional game developement, we know that optimization is important, so we designed the entire project from the beginning to run smoothly on as many devices as possible. Also, the game has full gamepad support, which we would like to use for distribution on modern game consoles.
When creating the island, we made sure that the player always has the feeling that something interesting is happening. We tried to achieve this by approaching the level design very thoroughly and by drawing on extensive research into the fauna and flora of similar climates. The land area of the island is 36km².
A big part of the game are the animals that live on the island, over 50 species in total. Throughout the game, they will pose both a threat and a support to the player. You can be the best hunter and hunt down all the trophy pieces or you can try to tame and domesticate, for example, a wolf, a tiger or a parrot, which will be very helpful in combat or when occupying bases.
We currently have all the game mechanics programmed and plugged into the game, we are still optimizing them. We have a very detailed island with enemy bases and main temple. Also majority of the assets are game ready, so now we're focusing on tweaking the mechanics and finishing the story.
The vast majority of the animations involved in the game come from a professional mocap studio with experienced actors. For an even more intense game experience, we would like to film all story animations using this technology with realistic facial capture.
There is currently a team of two people and a few freelancers working on the game. Our goal is to grow a bit more and still keep the indie philosophy, showing that modern looking games don't have to be made by big studios.
