Survival Island is a top-down 2D adventure survival game. It has a quirky and simplistic feel and features pixel art. The game has a resource collection system aswell as a crafting system. There will be AI such as dears and bears that can be killed for food. There will be a thirst, hunger and health bar.
The game will have a big emphasis on story and will feature a daily multiple choice interactive story of the character's past. Based on your choices your character might have increased or decreased skills. The characters skills are customizable at the character creation screen. They are skills such as agility, intellect and strength. Also on the character creation screen you can choose a special ability which could be something like faster regenerating health or bigger stomach to go longer without food. There will also be personality trait. This is changed by the interactive story choices and will determine what actions will make you happy or sad. For example if you are sadistic then you get joy from killing animals whereas if you are creative then you get joy from crafting things.
The programmer must know how to script basic AI aswell as everything mentioned above. The game will be built for single player although we may expand into multiplayer in the future. The game will be either coded in C# or C++ depending on the programmers choice. I live in Britain and so ideally I'd like to have a programmer in a similar time zone although it is not a necessity. We already have a writer, artist (myself) and composer.
