The Game
Outback (working title) is poised to be a highly replayable, VR supported, 1-4 player cooperative horror survival title set in a unique location. It will bring the immersive and truly terrifying experience of a high fidelity single player horror game to a multiplayer audience.
Our Progress and team
Our team is comprised of people from across the globe working in unison towards one clearly defined vision. Everyone involved has been selected based on the high quality of their work, proactive attitudes, and friendly personalities. We’re a truly passionate team about this project, and we’re really excited to bring it to life.
We’ve already completed a lot of our concept art, our lead environmental artist has completed modelling the geography and texturing of the map. Our Lead 3D creature artist has begun work on our first antagonist as well as our playable characters ready for our lead animator to begin. Our talented UI/UX designer and graphic designer are working together to build out all the menu systems. Our very accomplished spatial audio engineer has started recording and designing our soundscape, and our advertising creative team is building out our marketing and crowdfunding campaigns.
If you’re looking for a project where you can hit the ground running, this is the one for you.
