New Game - Run for your life

...Ive been thinking












New game idea,
while pondering how to get out my own living hell, as no one like to help,
(read my other blog on how to help https://myechoingheart.blogspot.com )
so while suffering might as well write and let some creative steam off.

Imagine,
as the damp dusk settles in
a thundering storm brewing over every horizon
the humid fog slowly starts to cover an immense wet wild wheat field
Hundreds of torches starting to get lit, rising up from within the fields
(customized players)
From the deep black forest lines behind and at sides of them
 you can hear monstrous gutter sounds as war drums starts to echo out over the field
Ahead of them is a 3 stages survival course that stretches for miles
The forest starts turning red as flares shoots out in every direction
battle horns prompt you " Run for your life " as the skies lights up
in a barrage of fire-arrows raining down ahead of them.

First stage (about 15-20 min game time)
on this map its open terrain with spars trees and rock formations
high grass and bushes builds up over time and distance,
terrain, formation and ground gets thicker and more intense,
turning into at thick cavernous and lethal jungle type of forest.

The players can not kill each other, only trip one another, slow them down.
After them is the war-machine of mad-max buggies, motorcycles, dogs, npcs etc
all depending on the current theme that is set for this map, updated regularly
with different sets of war-machines by updates and DLCs. (inc maps)
Intensifies kill rate and numbers the closer you get to stage 1's end.
(goal would be have 50% killed by now)

Entering stage 2,
the player gets into heavy jungle with caverns and grotto's for 15-20 min
this is the equipment stage, free for all, find weapons, kill or get killed
while the war-machine is short after-them on foot only.

If a player dies stage 1 & 2, its not the end

You become a equipped hunter of the current themed war-machine,
get to select another character (which of-course can also can be customized)
You may now have your revenge, placed in the back and can start hunt players.

Stage 3,
entering suburbia of a big run-downed town ending with a harbor
There is 3 boats between 4 spots on a timer awaiting one player
You dont know if a player took it or which one is left.
Now its only PVP no NPCs, with the once choose to continue as hunter.

Within the town is divide and conquer, spread around is
wealth, prizes and loot, if you die you drop it for others to take.
3 Players gets to keep there loot, xp and unlocks to advance
where number one player significantly gets the most.
Also number one player on the war-machine wins awards.
Hunter or player who dies here can not come back.

extra for Servers offer open/priv customized maps and design,
for example someone chooce only have stage 1 over the whole length map,
and it gets procedural generated to accommodate just that.
with modes like king-of-the-hill , free-for-all , group vs group
In essence cover a long range of different play styles, apart from official modes
where you also can change theme as updates and DLCs comes.
(would suggest does not count into regular character xp)

Example different themes would be: aliens, vikings, zombie, cthulhu, mad max etc
