Crafting a New Future in a Reborn World
Last updated
This free-to-play, massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) offers an unparalleled level of control and ownership, empowering players to craft their own destinies to shape the future of a reborn world.
Resurgence is a platform through which we channel the transformative power of these technologies, empowering players to participate in our journey.
Resurgence invites players to immerse themselves in a gripping journey through a post-apocalyptic Earth, a millennium after an ecological catastrophe. Survivors return from their cryogenic refuge to a beautiful, reborn planet in need of recolonisation.
RESURGENCE FOLLOWS THE JOURNEY OF THOSE CHOSEN IN 2034 TO EMBARK ON THE GENESIS PROGRAM — A SANCTUARY FROM CLIMATE APOCALYPSE.
Created by Vander Corp and overseen by Tech Billionaire, Dominic Vanderbrul, Genesis distributed cryopods to the fortunate lottery victors, ushering them into a millennia-spanning cryo-sleep, synchronising with Earth's anticipated rebirth.
Upon reawakening, survivors encounter an alien Earth—where nature has transformed, climates shifted, and a new human civilisation harbours suspicion towards the survivors and the fragments of a bygone era, sceptical of a world reshaped and unfamiliar.
Resurgence needs to find its own space in this already heavily depicted genre of post-apocalyptic worlds. It is not the future as in the Last of Us, it is close in period to Horizon Zero Dawn and explores some similar themes. Avatar’s planet of Pandora holds a lot of similarities to the world of Resurgence in its realisation of an Alien world.
The core gameplay loops in Resurgence encourage players to continuously engage in survival, crafting, exploration and progression activities.
By intertwining these elements, players experience the challenges and rewards of post-apocalyptic survival, while also building their character's abilities, uncovering the mysteries of the world, and engaging with a vibrant community of fellow survivors.
In Resurgence, the environment is more than just a backdrop; it's a dynamic force that shapes gameplay, challenges players, & rewards exploration.
Resource Abundance: The environment teems with vital resources that can make or break a player's survival. Managing these resources wisely is key to success.
Perilous Encounters: Resurgence's environment is a realm of both danger & wonder. Players will encounter exotic vegetation & evolved mammals, now larger & more hostile.
Hidden Treasures: Exploration is richly rewarding, as players uncover abandoned Cryopods & crates scattered across the world containing valuable items & insights.
Dynamic Landscapes: Through procedural content generation, Resurgence can dynamically create diverse and immersive landscapes.
Unique Avatars: Procedural content generation can be utilised to create a diverse array of avatars for players to choose from.
Flora & Fauna: With procedural content generation, Resurgence can introduce new properties and variations to the game's flora and fauna.
Evolved Animals: Procedural content generation can also create newly evolved animals within the game world.
Changing Game World: Dynamic events driven by AI algorithms can bring about changes in the game world.
Player Influence and Agency: When player actions can influence the occurrence or outcome of dynamic events, it gives players a sense of agency and impact on the game world.
Quests, Battles, and Challenges: Dynamic events triggered can lead to a series of quests, battles, and challenges for players to undertake.
Community Engagement: Players can join forces to face the challenges posed by these events, forming alliances and coordinating efforts.
A new human civilisation harbours suspicion towards the survivors and the fragments of a bygone era, sceptical of a world reshaped and unfamiliar.
In Resurgence, Avatars, play a significant role by providing a platform for self-expression and personal identity bringing hobbies, talents, & skills from 2035 into the future
Physical Appearance: Players can customise their avatars' physical attributes, body type, facial features, skin tone, & hairstyle.
Continual Customisation: As players progress they unlock additional customisation options, ensuring that the avatar can evolve alongside the player's journey.
Skills and Abilities: Avatars can possess a range of skills & abilities that reflect the player's choices and progression within the game.
Emotes and Gestures: Resurgence provides a variety of emotes & gestures that allow players to express themselves non-verbally, adding depth to social interactions.
Resurgence redefines NPC realism with the pivotal role of AI in crafting intelligent and lifelike characters within the game.
Believable Conversational AI empowers NPCs to generate contextually appropriate and coherent dialogue.
Emotional Modelling is a fundamental aspect of Resurgence's NPCs, enabling them to express a broad spectrum of emotions.
Adaptive Strategy empowers Resurgence NPCs to dynamically adjust their strategies and decision-making processes in response to changing circumstances and player actions.
Contextual Understanding & Situational Awareness allow NPCs to effectively interpret & respond to the game world.
In Resurgence, building structures goes beyond mere functionality and becomes a platform to express creativity and ownership.
Creative Construction: This method allows players to freely place materials such as sticks, logs, and even skulls to build structures. It provides players with a high degree of freedom and creativity, as they are not bound by specific recipes.
Recipe-based Construction: The second method involves using recipes shown through the user interface (UI) in the player's AR glasses. This mode presents players with a wide array of recipes for different types of structures that serve specific purposes.
The focus is on continually releasing features to create a fun, engaging, and scalable multiplayer experience, establishing the foundation for systems, the world, the story, and the economy.
