[WIP-GAME] Groenland

Welcome to Grœnland, a viking age survival-horror game set in the harsh and unforgiving landscape of 15th century Greenland.

As the player, you will assume the role of Astrid, a skilled archer of the Southern Norse settlement struggling to survive in the midst of a mysterious and deadly infectious disease. This disease has swept through the land, decimating the population and leaving you and your fellow villagers to fend for yourselves against the dangers that lurk within the icy wilderness.

In Grœnland, you’ll need to use all of your skills and cunning to gather food, keep warm, and find your father and sister, lost from a recent trading voyage, all while defending your settlement against the greatest threat you’ll face, the disease itself. An unknown disease, which can strike at any time and claim the lives of even the strongest and bravest among you.

As you progress through the game, you’ll uncover the mystery behind the outbreak and discover the ancient secrets that lie hidden within the frozen land. But beware, for the disease has also awakened ancient horrors that have long been buried beneath the ice. The ships cannot leave in the midst of winter, safely. Can you survive long enough to unravel the mystery and find a way to stop the disease, or will you fall victim to the frozen plague?

Groenland combines survival gameplay with elements of horror, set in a unique and fascinating historical setting. The game will be available on PC, with potential to expand to console platforms, and will feature stunning graphics, a nordic soundtrack, worthy of Odin himself, and terrifying enemy designs that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

We need your help to bring Grœnland to life. By supporting our Kickstarter campaign, you’ll be contributing to the development of this exciting and original new game, and helping us to create a truly unforgettable survival-horror experience.

Thank you for considering supporting Grœnland. We can’t wait to share this terrifying new game with you!

Hey @TheVikingOne, I hope all is well with you! I am really digging the first gameplay trailer and these incredible screenshots of “Grœnland,” and thank you for sharing it with us in the forums! The in-game world, characters, and story look awesome. How long has your team been working on this project? Also, is there any chance you could give us a sneak peek at the combat system? :eyes:

Hey there @TheVikingOne,

Hope you’re doing well!

The ambiance of this game seems to be both beautiful and eerie. Playing a survival game that has a main character and story is something I’ve only ever seen done once or twice before so I’m stoked to see more from this. Out of personal curiosity, will there be base building or anything similar?

Thanks for the positive replies. For the combat system, it is currently semi-functional. Still in development as we have many unique systems at play for this. It will take a while, however, there will surely be some combat gameplay trailers coming up. This has been in the works for quite some time actually. It started as a solo project, and recently (within the past 2 months), gained an experienced programmer, which pushed this to the next level, and making the gameplay explode, which became a huge drive for myself to push the art to the next level.

As for the base building, I do not think we will be going quite in that direction for this, as it’s set a bit more at the end of a season, when the player is just trying to make it to the spring to get off the island safely. However, there will be “safe-zones” and various ways to keep yourself safe during gameplay for short durations. As said… lots of different systems at play and in progress currently. Surely hoping for a unique, one of a kind experience on this one.

I agree entirely with @PresumptivePanda’s statement! I definitely can’t wait to see more, and thanks for the insight! :grin:

well, apparently, we can’t edit our old posts anymore in UE forums. So, I guess I’ll have to update with a new post each time.

There is now a dedicated youtube channel for 2MM: 2 Mad Monkeys - YouTube

Which means the video link has now switched to the new location (old location should still function though):

In our discord channel we are holding polls for decisions to allow the viewers/gamers to make some decisions on what they would like more. Current poll is the banner.

Progress with the combat system has been steady, as have a number of other areas within the game. A new intro has been developed and just needs a few tweaks. A new fire system for arrows has been developed along with accompanying AI for the zombies.

I would expect a new (higher quality) video showcasing more action and AI elements to be available within a few weeks.

Greetings, @TheVikingOne; I hope you’re having a wonderful Monday! I’ve gone ahead and subscribed to your dedicated YouTube channel for 2MM. I can’t wait to see all the upcoming updates for Groenland! :star_struck:

With that said, I appreciate you continuing to update us here in the forums, and I’m definitely casting my vote for the Red Groeland Banner! :red_square:

haha. Thanks :smile: . I will be trying to keep this up to date as much as possible. I focus on our discord a bit more for updates as it’s a bit more used. I recently did a little shift in scope… Now instead of solely basing it on realism, there is a slight fantasy touch to the level design. Nothing else will be affected much. Just the overall village and world design will be a little more creative. I actually think this shift will be a good one, as the strict guidelines for realistic viking age structural design will likely get dull over time. This new change however will bring the game to a whole new kind of monster!

New screenshots will come in a few days, I’m sure. And thanks for the support :slight_smile:

The pleasure is all mine! Adding a smidge of fantasy to Groenland is genius, and it will only make your game better in the long run! Keep these awesome updates coming; I’m rooting for you. :grin:

Alrighty. As mentioned. Here is a bit of an update for everyone. Firstly, I will mention that we have now completed some big strides in just getting things set up for the business side of things. Dang, what a pain, and it’ll be more to come I’m sure. But, all in good fun.

We now have:

Website
Discord (as before)
Youtube
Facebook

Please join us. Our website even now is equipped with a forum/user accounts. I advise to even just take a look at our site, join us on discord, and keep an eye on our youtube.

Now that I have that small message asking for you all to follow/join out of the way… on to the goods!

I will start this off with… NEW TRAILER VIDEO! In full HD glory! Sorry for the last one’s quality… this should make up for it and then some though.

Now on to some screenshots.









I so wish I could edit the top post to update instead of updates being buried
below. Sorry about that.
