Post apocalyptic full open world survival game.
This is an early access version of my game Ruins, and is my first game I have ever worked on. I am a solo dev who has been working on this project for 8+ years now and is not finished, but would like to get player feedback for what I have so far and will continue to post updates frequently as I get more done. I would love to hear player feedback or what they would like to see in game and let me know of any major bugs and I will patch as quick as possible. Thank you for checking it out and I hope you enjoy it!
Survive in a post apocalyptic world where you and everyone else got left behind as demons begin to rise and take over the landscape. Scavenge leftover goods to help you stay alive, find vehicles to move around faster and carry more, and find weapons and ammo to defend yourself with, and try to survive as long as you can.
Explore a full open world, no waiting or loading when traversing areas. Player can climb anything and is not limited to ladders or certain objects, most things react to being hit at high speed (Breaking/Simulating physics). Hundreds of locations to loot, dozens of POIs like military checkpoints, campsites and more, with many more being added in updates.
Grab a vehicle to move faster and get more loot across the vast map, vehicles include cars, helicopter and boats. Watch your gas! Vehicles use gas and take damage, so keep an eye on it so you don't get stranded somewhere you don't want to be.
Find loot to help you survive, from food to medical aid, to guns and ammo, things can be found everywhere in random storage, some items are based on player level so the player will find better gear as they level up.
The world is dangerous but you can find plenty of guns and ammo around the map to fight off the monsters, or sneak to conserve ammo when needed. (Monster variety is currently limited, will be focusing on adding many different unique monster types with variations in future updates).
Grab a gun and some ammo to hunt animals around the map or find a pole to catch fish. Fish spawn in every water source but can move around, so try and find a good fishing spot.
Explore with a friend on split screen or fight them for what loot they have. Players can have deathmatches around the map while trying to survive the harsh world, race each other, destroy each others vehicles and more. (Currently no tether distance, so player 2 can go anywhere they want to go without being tied to Player 1).
