Introducing Surviving Titan – Action packed, open world survival sci-fi adventure game!

User Posted Image

I have been wanting to make a development thread for a while but the game wasn’t quite there yet. Finally I think I am at a good point to start logging my progress! So without further ado I present to you Surviving Titan, an open world, randomly generated sci-fi survival adventure game.

You crash land on the planet Titan, suffering from amnesia and with the ships scanners unable to detect any signs of civilization you begin the task of exploring the planet looking for any signs of intelligent life. You are accompanied by a survival droid, standard issue for any escape pod. Their job is to keep you alive.

The game features a completely randomly generated open world to explore, with 7 core biomes that piece it together. Each biome has it’s owned unique landscape, resources and inhabitants (friendly or otherwise). Some crafting recipes require item’s that can only be gathered from specific biomes so exploration is key.

Here is a rough image of the current world biome map, it is still actively being improved but getting there –

This game has a much large scope than anything I have ever made before, but also is alot more complete as I have iterated and improved mechanics from previous games. There are several tiers of crafting, with one of the final tiers giving you the ability to create a teleportation pad that allows you to move across the map almost instantly –

The game currently features several skills for you to level up, including –

Mining
Smithing
Woodcutting
Farming
Fishing

Leveling up these skills grants you points that can be spent to unlock perks or crafting recipes as-well as other things. The system is not fully fleshed out yet but here is an example of what the final skill tree system might look like –

What is Amethlion. new features, quests and development log!

Hiya guys,

I have been developing Amethlion for just over a year now and thought it was about time I started updating you on the state of Amethlion, what the game actually involves and new features have been added in the past few months.

In a nutshell Amethlion is a mix of open world survival game play and classic RPG questing with some rogue-like elements and mechanics thrown in for good measure. Soon to be avaliable for IOS, Android and Windows the game features a central story line that will have you exploring several different regions throughout the games large open world to complete. About 50% of the games world is randomly generated, giving a new experience each time it is played.

There are three major cities in Amethlion, each of these cities are hotspots for collecting quests and performing various tasks. Here is an image of a currently unfinished area called ‘The Citadal’ –

You are free to explore the world of Amethlion at your own pace. The game is packed with unique NPC’s to interact with and there are lot’s of secrets to discover.

Here are some of the games current features –

Randomly generated open world to explore
Over 75 quests and counting
Unique abilities and spells
200 unique items to use
Farming, fishing, cooking, woodcutting and mining skills + more
over 35 unique monsters and bosses to kill
Player owned housing and customisation
Pets
And a huge amount more!

Over the next few months I will be adding as much content as I can into Amethlion. I hope to consistently update the community of it’s progress too.

That is all for today. Thank you for reading and subscribe for more news! Please leave a comment with any suggestions,

Zeso.
