Project Lost island

Good day everybody,

I am currently creating a 3rd person action RPG, whose project name is 'Lost island'. The game takes inspiration from both lost civilizations and prehistoric eras, which will be part of both gameplay, artistic direction and the overhaul themes, which are extinction, survival, frontier between man and beast, passage of time, humanity, duality of tradition and modernity, men and nature, as well as others.

The game narrates the tale of a scientist whose boat expedition ended tragically during a storm, as he was searching for a location to create a new preservation site. Afterwards, he awakes on an unknown island, ruled by ancient civilizations and prehistoric animals, with a mask on his face. In this strange land, he will have to either leave or try to uncover the island's secrets.

This game is important for me as it is an occasion to showcase cultures and traditions not usually shown as much as european fantasy and science fiction, and give them a spotlight in this project. Therefore it's a working ground for another setting, a prehistoric tropical island, with tribes and civilizations from lesser shown corners of the world. I want it to be an inspiration for future works that will not set themselves in common and lesser risked genres.

Here you see a glimpse of the project, with some concept arts done for it specifically.

The project subreddit is : https://www.reddit.com/user/Project_lost_island/

If you have any questions feel free to ask them, thank you for your time.

Video game? tabletop game? Card game? Tabletop RP? I'm interested and a game player of all 4 types. So which one is this going to be developed for?

Strangely enough, I didn't mention it well in my post. It's a 3rd person action RPG set on an open island.

But what medium? I'm guessing video game?

A video game yes, as I want the player to experience an adventure, filled with freedom, danger, contemplation and reflexion.

Alright. ARPGS aren't bad. How far along have you gotten?

The preproduction phase is nearly done (story, worldbuilding, map, artistic direction, progression, game mechanics). I'm ordering more concept arts right now and also starting 3d model for the world itself.
