Project Title: B-36

Genre: Sci-Fi Action / Survival / Exploration

Engine: Unreal Engine 5

Project Summary:

B-36 is a sci-fi survival game set in a massive underground research facility (Bunker 36), where players uncover unethical human experiments gone wrong. The game emphasizes exploration, combat, environmental storytelling, puzzles, and creature encounters. The universe expands to multiple bunkers and abandoned towns, allowing for sequels and spin-offs.

  • Full credit in-game, and potential revenue share if monetized later.

Current Status:

  • Complete blueprint-ready game design document.

  • Creature list, lore, mechanics, and bunker universe fully designed.

  • No coding or asset work done yet — opportunity to shape core systems.

Roles Needed (Volunteers / Hobbyists):

  1. Programmers (Blueprint / C++) – player mechanics, AI, combat systems, puzzles.

  2. 3D Artists / Animators – creature models, environment props, textures, lighting.
