The initial target goal will include a main hub, and three mini-games to play; the shooting gallery, the mini-cart race, and the motor stunts challenge. Players can win exciting prizes and share achievements and high-scores with friends. No theme park is complete without social interactions. In Atom Universe, players can express emotions via gestures and effects, and perform series of fun actions such as shaking hands, striking a pose, kissing, holding hands and even dancing with other players. Groups of players can execute synchronized moves in true gangman style. Stretch-goals for the game includes exciting events, bumper cars, adrenaline-rushing rollercoasters and the ability to drive vehicles around the park.
Indie developer Atom Republic has launched a kickstarter campaign, looking for an odd $29,487, to finish up development of Atom Universe.
Initially Atom Republic will produce all type of content for this environment. Then, third-party developers will help increase the content exponentially, releasing their own clothes, vehicles and accessories. Finally, Users themselves will be given tools to create their own content, like a ride editor to make their own roller coasters.
Atom Universe is the most persistent, engaging and immersive virtual fairground of its generation:
- Persistence: Atom Universe is a persistent game where you can chat, play rides, and show off your latest purchases and rewards. Being free-to-play, there will always be plenty of people around to interact with. Atom Universe is cross-region, cross-platform: this means if you live in the USA and use a PC, you can play with another user in Europe, who plays on a PS4. Multi-platform, Atom Universe will not die with the PS4: we can port it to any high-end hardware, and it will out-live the current generation of consoles.
- Engagement: Atom Universe has lots of games, daily quests and challenges to keep you engaged, with something to do, even on your own. You can come back each day to chat and play with friends, attend events and get rewards.
- Immersion: for a more immersive gameplay, we will support virtual reality hardware: namely the Morpheus on PS4 and Oculus Rift headsets on PC.
Atom Republic is powered by Unreal Engine 4.
