Alright!! Just got started setting up google docs pertaining to the my new game project, The Converted! Which will begin production as soon as I finish writing up the first part to a three part series, get a few concept artists to draw up a few pictures to show off to possible candidates, and then assemble the team of awesome individuals who would like to work on this project. All in due time!
It's an action survival horror sci-fi 3rd and 1st person shooter game that will be available for PC, most likely, and the current gen of consoles. I'm hoping to get this game to run at 60FPS and still be chock full of amazing content from single player to multiplayer!
The story follows Tikvah Ashkenazic, former professional super hacker, and his team of other talented individuals as they run, jump, fly, boat and other means of travel their way through California and a few other states in an effort to survive long enough to get the answers they need to the burning questions they have. "Why is this happening?" "Why are people turning into bloodthirsty monsters?" "How did this happen?" "Is there a way to stop this?" and much more. Tikvah and the gang must outsmart their horrific and hostile oppressors, The Converted, if they plan on getting those questions answered. Tikvah is also looking for his wife and daughter whom we prays are still alive.
The Converted were all originally normal people like you and me as well as normal animals and insects, however after coming into contact with an "infected" person, animal, or insect's bodily fluid that contains, what survivors are calling, AlterFluid that person, animal, or insect will then be (painfully) Converted. The Converted all have a unified goal "To change the minds of those who are worthy." What this means exactly has went under much speculation. From babble to controversy no one who is not converted can properly describe what this means, except for one person. However, that person has yet to be found.
Players will be thrusted into an enthralling single player experience learning about the game's story and attempting to solve this horrific mystery all the while trying to survive against the Converted threat. Players will also enjoy the both cooperative and competitve multiplayer modes. I plan on creating a survival mode heavily based on Gears of Wars's "Horde" mode in which the player must survive wave after wave of incoming Converted. As the rounds go on the onslaught gets more and more strenuous and difficult. Will the player's be able to hold out long enough to be evacuated or will they succumb to their Converted attackers and fail? I would also like to have a PvP game mode to allow players the chance to play as a few selected Converted affixed with their strengths and weaknesses against human players in a deathmatch kind of setting but with a twist. That's yet to be fully fleshed out as at the moment my focus is geared towards single-player.
I am the lead Director in charge of everything, I'm also the writer, and I should be doing a little bit of composing, however I will most likely be hiring a composer to take care of the music since the sound I perceive to be in this game, I cannot compose myself with the libraries and computer that I have currently. All of this will be done using Unreal Engine 4!!! YAY!!!! This is because UE4 has always been my favorite engine since I played Gears of War!
Once all the necessary google docs are up and I have an adequate amount of art for the game, the hunt for talented team members who have plenty (or enough) free time to devote to the project will begin!
