Deus Ex Machina in an exploration into a fan remake and modernisation of the original in Unity, redesigning systems and game mechanics to conform to modern iterations of the franchise and the genre as a whole. Not designed to be an exact remake of the original but instead and evolution of it with the intention being at this early stage to produce a reimagined Liberty Island as a portfolio piece.
Policing in America has become significantly more dangerous, with many criminal organisations fielding powerful weaponry as well as the continually increasing presence of perps who have been outfitted with augmentations. Violent riots are also a regular occurrence nation wide.
To an extent, the police forces throughout the country have been militarised to a point where they are comparable to their military counterparts, in part to the heightened threats of terrorism following the bombing of the Statue of Liberty.
They most often field exo-skeletons and high power weaponry to surpass the most effective weapons made available to criminals and terrorists through the black market.
