If you want to play a survival MMO, you can now support the financing of New Dawn through the Kickstarter campaign.
New Dawn places you in the 18th century. You are a native of a Caribbean island trying to survive. The harsh circumstances like wild animals and the constant search for food and shelter fade into the background as pirates arrive on the island. Now you must also defend yourself against these invaders.
Robinson Crusoe with Pirates
Like in other survival games, you start with nothing but a loincloth. You gather initial resources to craft weapons so you can at least defend yourself against the smaller animals.
You also craft your first tools to gather more resources. This way, you build a hut, gather food, and defend yourself against anything that attacks. You will also encounter other players with whom you can join forces to build entire villages. Or you can fight each other.
The idea behind the game envisions a culture clash: on one side are the spiritual natives, on the other the violent pirates. The latter have been inspired by “Black Sails” and “Pirates of the Caribbean.” The stories of the natives have been studied in books.
Kickstarter is supposed to do it
The development team wants to raise at least 70,000 euros to secure the financing of New Dawn. The Kickstarter campaign runs until mid-February. Early birds get the game plus early access for as low as 12 euros.
Those who contribute more money can receive the soundtrack, an art book, and exclusive in-game items. Stretch goals have also been announced in case the funding goal is exceeded. Then boss enemies, dynamic weather events, more animals, and support for Xbox One and Playstation 4 are planned.
But first, the 70,000 euros must be reached. If you are interested in survival MMOs and New Dawn, you can participate in the Kickstarter campaign.
