_About

What is it?
“Around The Ground: Kish” is an indie driving simulator video-game. Which means it is designed for driving dream cars, buy luxury houses and condos, chillaxing and living in a summery island. There is more to that, lots of cool ideas may be added to the project.
The island is Kish, a luxurious island of the Persian territory which has never been ever simulated/used in a video-game/sim-software before.

When will it be ready?
That is not planned!! I may never share it or maybe I do, so stay tuned if you like.
How big is the map?
The island is somehow two times bigger than GTA V’s whole map. And it uses 100% GIS real data provided by Nokia, Microsoft, Yahoo, and Google.

How is the gameplay?
There are no story modes, no ragdoll animations and no multiplayer. This is a simulator software not an arcade video game. However, nothing is pre-planned as it is just a passion-project.

Where will it be released?
If I ever release this software, It would be Steam. It is primarily for PC with some plans for adding an additional android app (something like iFruit for GTA V)

How much does it cost?
Although I payed for premium plugins and the web-hosting bills And I can’t pay for them anymore, I currently decided to make it free to play.

Who can enjoy playing it?
I think younger people are not the target audence because I planned to design it be realistic.

Why this project is made?
I was a computer software engineer student at the time of devising the project, designing the game was my hobby and still is. For more info about why I made it, please visit this link.

Which innovative features are in this project?
I have planned lots of innovative features for this project, from online marketplaces to XR and so much more which I will publicly share them on its website and also here, when possible.

How come the logo looks like that?
Here is why! Here is why! Here is why! Here is why!

Is this a final version project?
No, Everything is either alpha or beta.

Is this a sponsored project?
No, it is a “passion-project”. I emptied my bank account for this project!

That is quite wide ranging.

I’d suggest an spiral approach: make a game that works in its most basic form, and then come back improving it.

Good luck!
