I am an artist and game designer trapped in the frozen wilderness of St. Paul, Minnesota. I have a cat named Milo. He is a good cat, but I think he is trying to kill me. He is our inspiration for Miasmata.
Damn this looks like an awesome project. The visuals shown are gorgeous and for once, a truly unique gameplay idea. I love it! I gave all I could. I really hope this gets funded.
This looks great, I get a strange Myst-vibe from it almost. No objectives or quests or rules to follow, just clues throughout this world that you the player need to decipher on your own. All the while exploring and staying out of harms way. Looks great!
Sort of in-between. You have to find water to keep you hydrated and you fever at bay. You forage for plants and synthesize them into various medicines like anti-hallucination, stamina boosts and mental stimulants. You have to sleep, otherwise your illness will overtake you. Shelter and fire protect you from the creature, so you have to discover cabins and campsites where you can find beds and torches, as well as lab equipment to synthesize your medicines.
As far as exploration, you use triangulation to find out where you are, and also to draw to your map. So, if you can see 2 known points of interest from where you are standing, you'll know where you are, and you'll be able to add info to you map.
I've been waiting for a game like this: a game that revolves around exploring and survival.
Is it realistic (as in foraging for food and shelter during the night) or more game-like, focusing on just exploration of the environment?
Both would be awesome, just curious.
