Open World Sci-Fi MMO Unearthed gets Indiegogo campaign and shows off amazing pre-alpha footage.

Since a lot of people are unfamiliar with this title and the story behind it I decided to shed some light on it because I think this project is amazing. The biggest reason for that is because the whole game was developed by one single person - Ragel Alheit. It took her about a year of programming and hard work to create Unearthed in its raw form and she now needs our help as backers to support this project and make a dream come true.

In her own words - “Unearthed is a game which evolves. It encourages exploration from its inception, both in the literal and in the figurative sense. I want players to expect only the unexpected and retain their excitement about the potential and possibilities the developing game holds. They should always wonder: What will happen next?”

The game, as the title says is an open world sci-fi MMO that should exceed our expectations and judging by the screenshots and the pre-alpha footage it will provide a unique experience for gamers.

I was personally stunned by the looks of the pre-alpha footage because I know that everything is written and designed by one person. The amount of work required to make a game look like this is just insane and I am sure most of you reading this will realize that.

The press release for the game does a better job at explaining the game than I do so I will quote some important parts:

"Server-wide events will unite players in immersive scenarios which expands and contributes to Unearthed’s lore and the mystery surrounding the setting. Such events can come in the form of, amongst others, a new environment, a blight altering a familiar one, or an incursion of hostile forces. Players will need to work together to face the challenges, or try and brave them on their own.

Unearthed’s environmental sectors is the heart of its multi-layered worldscape. Dynamic elements such as flash floods, forest fires and blights, toxic vapors and sandstorms, as well as many other unique components add to the player’s experiences in the fight for survival.

The game defies the traditional and offers players the chance to pursue what they wish to, without restricting a player to a specific style of play. Neither are players restrained by limitations imposed by skills or levels. Whether it is exploration, trade, earning prestige in arena battles, crafting, gathering, defending outposts or investigating the mysteries of the world they find themselves on, players will have the opportunity to focus on what they love.

While Ragel has been developing and funding Unearthed herself, a larger team is now essential.

A successful Indiegogo campaign will ensure that a team of talented individuals can be hired and added to the ranks of Mad Matter. This will shape Unearthed into the game it is meant to be."

The goals for this title are set high because a project like this one deserves a big team to add a finishing touch and shape it to look as good as possible. If you have the same opinion as I do, consider supporting the campaign and help bringing Unearthed one step closer to a worldwide release.
