Our inspiration to create A Long Survive
As a study group composed of video game enthusiasts, we have immersed ourselves in the genre throughout our lives. We spent our childhood and teenage years (and why not? adulthood too) playing video games, often the idea would arise: “What if I made a game…“
And that’s how the idea for A Long Survive was born.
One of our major sources of inspiration has been Gears of War. Its horde gameplay mode has been absolutely crucial in shaping how we wanted to approach our video game. The mere idea of experiencing the Gears of War hordes through virtual reality goggles filled us with excitement. So, after considering it, we dove into building a video game based on that concept.
As VR enthusiasts and professionals, we have thoroughly researched and immersed ourselves in the sensations of other virtual reality games. Games like the well-known After The Fall, which perfectly capture the essence and pressure of the moment. Or The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners, which, thanks to its level design and atmosphere, instill tension in the player. These titles have been our inspiration and instrumental in helping us find the path we were looking for in A Long Survive.
Of course, we bring our essence and story to A Long Survive to make the gaming experience unique. We focused on the concept of going beyond, with a possible storyline that could explore the universe we envisioned: the Lerp invasion, the unity of the human race, and its expansion into space. Additionally, we expanded the game modes and opportunities given to players to make our video game long-lasting.
Being aware that we are a small team, we have organized the development of A Long Survive into sections that will gradually expand. All the while, we wait and have faith in a community that, fingers crossed, will grow alongside us and our video game.
So, we hope that this adventure that originated from the classic “What if I made a game…” reaches many players, and who knows, maybe the same phrase will arise from one of them.
