[WIP] Northern Lights - Survival Game for PC and maybe Consoles

​

Hello,
We want to show you what we are working on, but first, a little introduction: we are MadGoat, a small hobbyist team of 6(two programmers, one 3D Artist, one concept artist, one soundtrack writer and one story writer/marketing manager ) , with high motivation to create a unique story based survival game with original gameplay elements and AAA like graphics quality.

​

The game environment is arctic and the open world level is based on a big (~8km x 6km) island from Siberia. It won't be just a regular survival game with infinite gameplay, it will actually be based on a storyline. More information on the story will probably come later, because now its still in the writing stage. One thing we can say now is that the character will have a dog companion.

Last image kind of reminds me of the environment in the movie The Thing.

 

Sorry for not posting here for such a long time. We were really busy with the project and also with our personal lives. There are some news, but the most important one is that our game finally got a name: Northern lights.

For more information on what we did since the last post here, take a look at our development blog
