Description
Floatlands is a lowpoly survival-exploration fps game where you play a robot as the main character. Game is currently in early development with set goals. We will strive to make regular updates for players and listen to their feedback, because we think that only this will make the game relevant and exciting to play.
History
The idea for a low-poly game came from our project manager Domen Koneski. He was having fun creating some floating islands in Unity3D and the colored only models really looked good to all of us.
The train of thought naturally went to jetpacks and flying around, defending each island from enemies (mobs in the shape of a helicopter). Andrej, our 3d artist, quickly created a helicopter, a main character for a first person shooter, with a cool looking double-barrelled shotgun, a few animations and other assets.
We shared a few screenshots of the scene on Instagram and Facebook, the feedback was well beyond our initial expectations, since we immediately got offers for beta testing, requests for PS4 version and suggestions for further concepts. We’re really enthusiastic about this project and looking forward to working with our community!
