Project Anansi
Description:
Project Anansi is a coop first person shooter about realistic, strategic and cautious heisting. The players are confronted with constant pressure from security mechanics and they are required to extensively plan their approach. If the crew fails to keep it silent they are confronted with the law enforcement or rival gangsters causing waves of heavy as well as difficult gunfights. Mistakes are punished hard in both playpathes.
I’m currently finalizing the major parts of the game design document but obviously there is room for changes and feedback! The project is currently a free time / hobbyist state until the prototype with a demo level to play and all core mechanics is finished. If the prototype shows potential: A Kickstarter campaign or search for investors is totally possible on my end.
I have set up a base infrastructure ready to go with a perforce server, a vpn network, jenkins automated build server as well as a file share server. The engine of choice is Unreal Engine.
