First I would like to start off by saying that the purpose of this game is to gain a better understanding of 3D game development as a learning and applied knowledge process. I may or may not actually finish this game and if I do the game will likely be limited in features, and progress will be slow due to funds and time constraints; if I do manage to finish it, then it will be free and open sourced for Windows, Mac, and Linux and will be designed as a possible template for this community. For gameplay, I plan to create an openworld 3d action rpg with sidequest and scoreboard style challenges, (level based/floor zombie style fps, 3d platforming elements, and an achievements menu), as well as a fps to 3rd person wheelscroll feature, and a toggle able survival mode similar to fallout meets farcry, (if I can manage it); the plan for the theme so far is a mid evil fantasy style rpg, and other traits are still to be determined and added, as well as crowd funding like patreon or kickstarter as production goes on.
Development will likely be made with (*= what I currently own): -AGF Pro*
-Blender*
-Substance Painter
-Fuse*
-Source Film Maker*
-Audacity*
-LMMS*
-Gimp*
-DP Animation Maker
-Unity Engine*
If You have any of these programs or any compatible with these programs and would like to contribute to this project, PM me or comment in the forums and I will add you to the dev team. I'm currently in the process of a multi-platform AMD Build for this project, so the game will likely be optimized for AMD hardware with support for Mantle and Vulkan API's, true Audio, VR, and support up to 4k textures. It currently Doesn't support Mac, even in hackintosh solutions sadly; rumors claim that Apple may include the ryzen 7 series for specific builds due to parallel computing potential. Here are my Specs:Spoiler (click to show/hide):
