Well Its quite a large project. Im not sure where to begin on telling you what Gameplay is like.
I would like to state that Player-Built Towns are The Main Peak Feature of the Game that creates a form of Hierarchy of what Actions players make below it.
I would see the Project as a social experiment. Providing the Tools for the Players to build their own environment instead of me having to make all of it is the main thing.
Let me Lay out a Scenario:
A Bunch of Friends decide to start their own player town. They Currently live out of a Single Desert Ranch, They dont have alot of resources but they have teamwork.
They Leave their house and enter a Random Encounter in which they can find the Resources to Build a Small Town, Mine Mine Mine, Cut Cut Cut.. Craft Craft Craft. Within about an hour they Have enough Resources to Build a Small Town. one of them with enough Repair goes and attains Architect Proffesion from an NPC
They Choose where they want to build their town. They Decide to build it near Adelaide as there is plenty of Good Encounters, and lots of the Population lives around there.
They Place their town. Store their Items inside their new City hall, And then One of the Friends with a few caps goes to the Local Town to look for a few players who are up for hire, He finds a handfull of Level 8-12's Who have decent weapons. He manages to offer them 1k each to Guard the Town for a few hours. ( They are n00bs, they see this as plenty of Payment )
They Activate World-Map Vision. So the Town is Visible if players wander within a few Zones of the Town
2 Hours Later. A Whole bunch of Players have found themselves in the town. Offering to pay Items/Caps to Buy Homes inside the Town. They wish to live here because the Mayor will be able to Hire plenty of Guards to protect from PVP Factions.
But Oh Oh! a PVP Faction has noticed a new Town on the World Map.. They have arrived and are waiting for orders on the World Map..
Without knowing it, this town is about to meet its doom. The PVP Faction breaks in. Blam Blam Blam, Wastelanders are allover the Ground. A few player Guards run out with Rifles and take a few shots... not enough to stop the PK Faction. They Stomp through the town and kill everything. Loot all the Bodies and Leave, For the PVP'ers it was a Successful Raid.
The Mayor and the Original Friends are using sneak in the mayors office. Hiding for their Safety.. They need to Hire more Guards, Or Build a more secure level of Craftable Town. Or Maybe Pay a Player who can Build Robots an exorbent amount of money to Guard the Town with his Robotic Army. Or Maybe they will leave the town.. Leaving it to sit in the wasteland gathering dust. untill somebody decides to inhabit it.. a few Bluesuits are always looking for vacant free homes.. Sure they aren't safe.. But they are Good enough for Now.
I Like writing stories like that, it might give you a bit of an insight into what the Players will be experiencing.. If you want more.. I can write more, I leave you with the WIP Features List, Alot of Features are probably missing. but still. here you go
