Broken Shores

ended

Broken shores is a narrative driven 3rd person action-adventure game with a steampunk theme. The story will be about an out of the box tinkerer who seeks out help from foreign cities against a threat that looms over them all. The game will take place in a post-apocalyptic Europe, devastated by the effects of climate change. Mankind has survived, but lives secluded in city-states, distant and cut-off from each other. Compared to existing work our video game features an intriguing storyline combining 'hot' themes such as Global Warming and Grassroot movements. Another important part of the story, that sets it apart from most of the games currently in existence is its focus on Bottom-up thinking, and the power of the individual to start a change. Gameplay-wise, the game innovates and sets itself apart with its unique real-time strategy based combat system in combination with a story-driven open world experience, which is unique in the gaming industry. Visually the game will set itself apart by combining different art and architecture styles into one world. As the game is set in future Europe, various locations will be based on their real-life counterpart. The game itself will tell the story of a cast that represents the diversity seen in Europe. The game will have multiple mixed-race characters of different ages and backgrounds written into its story. It will also feature many characters representing different LTGBQIA+ groups. Then, within the game itself global warming and its consequences are the core theme. This in order to help educate players on the impacts of climate change on the world, its biodiversity, culture and its inhabitants, which areas are critical and that we can still influence to reduce the increase in temperature. Hoping that this will inspire and motivate players to take actions to support a more circular economy.
