Hello Game-dev.net! I have been playing video games my entire life and I have recently decided that I wanted to design my very own game. I am 24 years-old, I am passionate about video games and also am a young entrepreneur. I recently got out of the military and moved to San Diego, CA to be able to pursue my dream. Before I start my official business and open my own studio, I want to have one release under my belt to gain funding and a good reputation. There will be 1 to 4 teams of 1 to 4 players, depending on the map and play style. When the game starts, each player will need to choose one of the 18 different characters to control for the rest of the game. Every single character has “pros” and “cons”. Whether one has more health or the other one has less, each of them will have special abilities bound to their class. The players will have to pick a good team composition to best the enemy team. Players must eliminate the enemy team while also focusing on their own survival by gathering materials. Your character must eat, sleep and stay warm. In order to do so, all the players within the team must build a camp, build items and hunt to be able to eventually knock out the other tribes. There are 6 different classes with 2 subclasses each. Will you pick the Warrior, a strong combatant that lacks inventory slots or will you play the Hunter, an agile character that can track and capture animals to make them his allies?

so far all user registration and multi-player and chat functions are working! We started working on the game world today. Also we have some models in the game fully animated and everything! We are starting to work on combat, path finding, and AI for the deer!

Inside the game it will be top down camera

I think it's a great concept.

It will be hard to balance the teams but doable.

Please do let us know as soon you have a playable demo (Even alpha stage).

I would love to leave my gameplay feedback.

As well... you should play the commandos series. It will give you some hints on AI and combat.

You have to make resources easy to find. Since its inspired from war craft i guess it may be a gameplay from 15 min - 3 hours gameplay. (Never played the island version that you ve mentioned)
This can be from REALLY fun to frustrated game if you don't balance the resources (Game progress) correctly.

Looking forward for more posts about it
