Indie Game Developer solo's an open-world project and shows progre

[Slaya101]

"-..and shows progress for it!"

 

So here's the story.

I've been developing a project alone for the past few months while trying to seek support and help from various developers, artists, and so on. I never managed to persuade them into helping me however. Due to the lack of funds that I have or had, I was unable to even hire them. I offered royalty, even when I mentioned the game was near it's Kickstarter phase.

I sacrifice my sleeping schedule to work on something that is a big undertake for me. Might I add, I have the knowledge, and skills to the game's production. That doesn't mean I'm proficient in all of the areas I develop the game in, my Kickstarter even shows that. I've documented the game, did a roadmap, spend hours to days planning on how to execute it.


Without further ado; here's what's been worked on.

The whole idea is to portray the real life of things. To put it into words, the game will feature an immersive world in which players run. Both illegal and legal factions will also play a role in this game and they're dynamic. Some of the legal factions aren't such as the government faction in the game. There will also be dynamic server control that could affect the game's assets or it's values to separate itself from a default server.

 

Customization in the game is one of the major key elements as well. For player's properties, factions, vehicles, and even player themselves. But there's more to it that I'd like to go into depth with.

or you could take the easy way and turn it into open world zombie survival game lmao. Are there gonna be pedestrians?

Not to dumb it down but it's going to be a immersive, violent, sims type game, or a MGS 5 type concept? I like the idea of it, I'm just kinda confused by what you mean. It looks like there is going to be driving, please make it solid. Bad driving physics can partially ruin the game for some.

My intentions are to make something that I drew inspiration from. Not implying that I took some from a few zombie games but Liberty (the game's name) is solely focused on being an open-world MMORPG. There won't be pedestrians but you can expect NPC's occurring around the game's map. Only for uses for side task, quest, or business placeholders.

Going back to the previous post, the game's inspiration is indeed taken from "The Sims" but with a more mature and strong tone to the game's vibe. Liberty also takes inspiration from Ark Survival Evolved. The game however, is in third-person.

 

Driving physics are being worked on, the camera perspective you see in the screenshots pretty much gives the concept on how the camera "might" be in the game. And the physics are gonna be simulation based, rather than arcade based. That may or may not change in the future though.

Looks cool man. Good luck with your project.

[ROCKSTAR MANIC]

Where is this based on? What is the purpose of the game? apart from what you mentioned in previous posts. What is the point of the game. This will have a single player? multiplayer?

[Slaya101]

"Did someone mention vehicles?"

[Franceska]

I wish you a lot of good luck with the project. I wish I could help you develop it, but I can't because I lack the necessary skills unfortunately, But it looks very good so far and I'm excited for its release. Do you have any idea what you'll make it? Pay to Play or Free to Play with Micro transactions?

Micro-transactions won't be a thing in Liberty. Players will be able to host their own servers on the game instead. And it'll be a pay to play.

Cool. Is the PC only male, or can it be female too? Most games don't do female PC for whatever reason.

Both male and female player characters will be in Liberty. Along with a variety of races as well. Customization will be a major factor in the game.

[Franceska]

Are you sure you'll be able to do everything you say without additional help though? Because I'd hate to see your ambition being stopped by lack of time / resources.

[dudclub55]

This looks incredibly cool.

[Lubas]

What game engine are you using?

 

This looks cool. I hope you could get a helping hand.

I could help to give concepts, but that's all, lol.

[DERGaming]

I feel it will be hard to make on your own but I had a dream onece that a game came out like this and my friends and I have been talking about it for a while seems you beat me to it but I can give you some of the things I have been thinking of but other than that I don't know how I could help you.

Anyway, I thought I'd show you guys my quick GIF that I made.

Ideas, suggestions or feedback is much appreciated and welcome. The only thing I'm trying to achieve at the moment is awareness. I'm not the best when it comes to marketing but I've looked up the dos and don'ts. All that I ask is that this game is shared to the mass. Friends, family, so on..

And I'm using the Unreal Engine, 4.14.

Why don't you hire more people? Start a fundraising thing with Kickstarter or some.

 

And what is your current needs for the development other than marketing?

I don't have that much funds to hire, and a Kickstarter was already started, unfortunately it's not reaching it's goal so I'm unsure to declare it as good as dead, miracles do happen. Alone, just a programmer would be enough to get the project pushed through. But I can still "try" to get the project through at least the open beta stage..

 

I'd also like to announce I will be trying to release two trailers to end this year off, I'll release details later on as we reach close to 2017. Be on a lookout!

You're talking about a kickstarter, but I don't see a link anywhere in this thread, and if I search Liberty Game Kickstarter, I don't get the results I want. Putting your Kickstarter link in your signature is perfectly within forum rules, and it'll create more exposure to it for free. Free advertising, and without breaking the rules. I'm sure there might be a person here or there who can donate some, or showcase their friends and they might want this to become in their library sooner than later and donate as well. Just a tip!

[D9fred95]

This game looks nice so far, quite ambitious. It's description reminds me of APB. I hope your game goes through a better testing phase than APB did.

I'll place it in my signature, but I'll more than likely do that right when the first trailer releases. But thanks for the heads up!

Thank you, I suppose you can say it draws some similarity from APB but inspirations are drawn from other games, one of them being Ark Survival actually..

 

Also here's Beetle Street! One of the game's concept art and locations.

If this is going to go anywhere, I can give you some old suburban-looking buildings of mine from an old GTA mod that never went anywhere. Most of it is suburban sh*t so you can easily copy/paste it around and it'll look pretty.

 

 

 

[Oldsport]

I should invest in a pc, damn near all the good games are on pc

[D9fred95]

What will the map diversity be like? Is there a beach region or suburbs and stuff? Good map diversity is a nice plus.

Those models are really great! However, I intend on having a little more complex models in the game. I really appreciate that you would be willing to pitch in though!

The map will be made up of two islands that are separated by two counties.

 

Besides the countryside of the game, there will be at least 3 towns that will be very dense and one city. The city being the capital point of the map. There are some small beach areas but for the most part, one island will mainly consist on just being a mountain range and a country side with a small town to it. (This portion will actually be featured in the open beta.)

 

While the other island will pretty much feature the city, a suburban neighborhood and a portion being the country side. The map won't be massive, the idea of the map is to also host a great amount of players in a very close space so that way players aren't too divided. That concept work piece references one of the city's locations; Beetle Street. (Based off of Beale Street in Memphis.)

I used to design alot of emergency vehicles skins.

 

Once you have templates, I'm willing to do it for you.

And maybe some rough ideas.

[Slaya101]

During the past few days, I've managed to stumble upon some help and had a few people reach out to me, which I'm really grateful for! I took the time to reply to those who wanted to contribute to the project's development.
