'New Dawn' Launches Kickstarter Campaign - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Jan. 16, 2017 @ 1:47 a.m. PST

New Dawn is a survival based sandbox, open-world, multiplayer game set on an island in the pirate age.

Dreadful pirates landed on an unknown island of Southern America at the end of 1800, occupying it immorally and brutally.

These sea men are pitiless and killing them will be hard!  

A new dawn will rise for natives! Their life will change radically and they’ hide and find solution to survive. They will find new defending tools, new building techniques, weapons and tools useful to survive. New Dawn is a survival based sandbox, open-world, multiplayer game set on an island in the pirate age for PC Mac & Linux.

The player is a native who builds villages and uses natural resources to survive and learns how to defend himself from frequent attacks of pirates who landed on the island.

New Dawn is based on survival: Surviving hunger, thirst, adverse climate and wildlife. The stakes are high. The waters are rough. But they will find ways to survive…..

Italian based developer e-visualsoft has launched a kickstarter campaign, looking for $74,304, to complete the game.


The pirates are controlled by an advanced artificial intelligence. They go around attacking villagers with a motive of looting. The pirate is a non playable character. Learning from what sees in his lifetime creates a baggage of experience that will help him overcome the increasing difficulties (i.e. same kind of fight move will not work on him every time. He will defend better next time).

This feature is the result of an advanced Artificial Intelligence algorithm. The collection of resources will be needed to stay alive.  

Climbing a tree will be useful to spotting enemies from far away or to hide.  

Savey is a system to capture a pirate and make him your slave!. But you need to take care of his needs so that he obeys your command. A slave will require attention. It is necessary to equip him with weapons, ammunition, clothing and food.

There will be villages and camps of wealthy pirates full of recipes and weapons. Diplomacy between clans will help create alliances and barter items using the totem. The book building will help you build sophisticated structures necessary for survival. The game will be played in first-person and third-person. It will almost always move from one state to another, except when it is being used to select weapons where you will operate in first-person.

We decided to add woman characters and NPCs

We invested time in designing a realistic combat system. We added customization feature for the character’s facial expression, eye color, hairstyles, hair color and body muscles. This customization increases as the game advances. We have included women characters in the game as well.
