Here follows a short booklet sample:
The actual setting of the game, will probably have changes here and there. Plans are to have many available locations, starting from Naples and Milan, to London (the steampunk city par excellence) and Prague.
The first and main character of the game. Meant to be start as the classic factotum, he'll develop much during the story. He's meant to not be a classic hero but a more grey character.
A short example of basics weapons that will be available through the game.
A commands explanation. This will surely change in the future, with further analysis of movement, playable characters and enemies, and the feeling we want the game to give.
Short credits to Red Vodka.
This game takes inspiration from steampunk and dieselpunk genres, books like Leviathan trilogy from Scott Westerfeld or movies like Mortal Engines.
Plans are to render pictures of famous places to 2D stunning backgrounds, working with Unity as main framework.
From a gameplay perspective, the objective is to mix the classics feeling with modern elements and basics like a story molded by the player, a quest system to engage further and non-linearity.
We want to blend the warmth given by old school games, both in gameplay and aesthetics, and the awe given by modern masterpieces.
Thanks for your time,
Red Vodka team.
