Hi dear sub-fans!
Abyss Crew is a multiplayer cooperative videogame where you play the crew of a submarine in a steampunk universe.
You can be the Pilot, the Radio, the Gunner or the Captain (optional role).
The pilot controls the submarine
The gunner manages torpedoes and external modules
The radio detects surroundings and get information about enemies
The captain tries to coordinate everyone to fulfill the missions!
We also released a few hours ago the teaser trailer of the game, we're very excited! You can watch it here:
(any of you know how to embed a youtube video in the post?)
The game can be played over internet, but we rather aim for plays locally, with friends, to give the feeling of participating to an adventure together.
We are mostly inspired by Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator for the bridge crew simulator. And by Jule Verne's 20000 leagues under the sea for the steampunk universe.
We also discovered Wolfpack/HMS Marulken last autumn, 6 months after development begun (and we're fan of this game, truly
), but Abyss Crew aims to be more an adventure game, easier to handle, in a fictive steampunk universe.
The development began during spring 2016. We had so much fun playing Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator with friends, we were dreaming to make a similar game in a submarine! I began the development alone, but then some people really liked the project and the team grew
Today the game still have a lot of development, so we're open to external opinions on what we should do. If you'd like to playtest it, don't hesitate to ask!
About the future news, we'll be at the CGX festival in Montreal this week-end, and at the Montreal International Game Summit the 11.,12. and 13. of December - if any of you is around at this time, we'll be glad to meet!
So, what do you think about this project?
