Get excited for NZ devolopers Living Dark

New Zealand gaming dev Rocketwerks has been working on something special, and this week we started to get a peek into what that is.
Lead by Ex Bethesda & Crytek environment artist Rashid Redic with a team of hand picked Ex- Bethesda and Dice staff, Living Dark is a procedurally generated story line driven title where every action you make in the game affect everyone else.

a near-future city straining under tensions it can barely control…

Fight for friends, factions or your own future, but survive at all costs in a society where justice is only for the powerful.
Explore dense, diverse open environments in a myriad of playstyles. Forge critical bonds then confront demanding choices – against the darkness of the city, your decisions make all the difference.
A neo-noir adventure driven by a procedural narrative, Living Dark is yours to define.

The key features shard on livingdark.com about the game so far that we find interesting are :

  • Navigate an interconnected faction and relationship system that drives the behaviour of every character in the city.
  • Gain allies and make lasting enemies as you claim your place in the social strata.
  • Find your own path through procedurally generated storylines.
  • Explore a rich open world of districts and neighborhoods with unique social and cultural identities.
  • Extend your skills, enhance your gear, acquire new abilities, improve your chances.
  • Discover where your loyalties lie as your relationships change and grow, and your goals begin to conflict dangerously with your allegiances.
  • Grow your city heritage; your choices shape the history and future of the city and its people.
  • See the world anew: replay from another direction within the city you helped shape or reset for an entirely new experience.
