The Remaining - A post apocalyptic survival game.

Hello everyone! My name is Logan, and I’m relatively new to game creation, and to Unity.

Now, as uninteresting as that intro was, I’d like to get your attention on my game - if I can call it that at the moment.

“The Remaining” is a post apocalyptic survival game set in the US after war has destroyed most of the nation. You must survive among the Interior West of the United States, in states such as Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, and Arizona. Instead of going the common route and fighting, zombies, monsters, etc., players will have to deal with other players, possibly NPC’s like bandits, and nature as well. The main point of this game is to have fun surviving in harsh environments and dealing with tense situations with friends, or maybe even alone

The game is planned to be completely non-linear, free roam. Just a wide open map, and whatever you can scavenge among it. (i.e. guns, ammo, food, supplies, etc.)

I understand this project is a HUGE task for someone with so little experience, so help is welcome!

(Official Website for “The Remaining.” Pictures will most likely be posted here.)

*Update 1/7/2013
Mad World Interactive is now the game studio I have created to publish this game under. The site is still under maintenance, but you can check it out at:

*Update 1/8/2013
As many requests/offers I have received, I’m still looking for modelers to get the baseline for animators and texturers. As soon as I receive the models and are happy with them, I’ll be on the lookout for animators, texturers, and possibly coders as well!

*Update 1/9/2013
Due to popular demand, NPC’s will be added to The Remaining. A new poll will be added to decide what type of NPC’s they should be. Thanks for the input!

*HUGE Update 1/9/2013
On an accident moving files, the current map was deleted. There’s no way of getting it back, so I new map will have to be created. I will work on that later, but for now, I’m starting coding and other main parts of the game. As upset as this has made me, I’ll continue to work on the game, it’s not like it’s a huge deal, and be more careful next time.

*Also, here’s a schedule for my availability.
Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, ~5pm US Central Time - ~9pm US Central Time.
Sat - All day.

Thanks!

Are these the same projects? http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/165154-Map-for-a-game-I-m-working-on.

Yes! This is just the thread for everything about this game.

Okay, keep all of your game related content in this thread.

In the rules posted here: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/120566-WIP-RULES-Updated-July-Read-or-have-your-threads-closed

It states:

In reference to your previous post:

Just trying to be helpful here. I wouldn’t want to see your threads get closed for something as insignificant as this :wink:

Thanks so much! I’ll fix it as soon as possible!

Hey Logan, I am new to this industry as well, and am currently undergoing my Bachelor in Animation. With what little free time I have available, I’ll be more than happy to try and provide you assets for this project :slight_smile: Whether it be 3D Models, Voice acting, music, concept art or a story line. Ask and I’ll see if I can do :wink: Give me a message if you wish to undergo this :slight_smile: But furthermore, Best of luck!

7

That would be absolutely wonderful, I’ll message you as soon as I require work on such pieces!

So what exactly are we going to be surviving against? Bandits? Zombies? Any mutants? A government and it’s sadistic army? If we were to play this game, what would be some of the key points in the “survivalist guide”?

Alrighty that sounds like a pretty good concept. I think it would be important to have NPC bandits to “fill out” the game a little bit :slight_smile:

Hey Logan, I’m a published short story author, I could help with a story for your game.

12

Wow, that would be awesome! PM me when you’d like to discuss it!

13

Just PMd you.

14

Logan,i think you could work first on the gameplay and characters and then on a decent map,just put a terrain and test the characters!

15

The building is coming along nicely :slight_smile:

16

As for the characters, I have a model from the first trimester of Uni that I could send off to a rigger and animator. He’s a bit crap though, so I’d probably have to redo him.

17

Hmm, your tumblr account doesn’t seem to work

The latest render of the shack :wink: It’s a bit late due to my birthday being this weekend so I’ve been away.

Still to do: Texture skirting, inside walls, add a bit of dirt, wear and grime to floor, texture windows/door frames :slight_smile:

Heya Logan,

A friend of me started a year ago also a project and maby you like to check it out.
He is just as you new to the scene of game creation but the progress is going great.

You can find the WIP i made for him here.
Within a few days there is also a new update. The update also contains NPC characters.

Here is my latest update :slight_smile: I’ve been busy lately so the progress is slow, but it’s coming along.
