ScrapRoad
Open World Survival Environment
ScrapRoad is set after the collapse of civilization in the pits of Shioc, dangerous canyons with old-world locations full of valuable scrap material.
Dive into the pits and tunnels underneath in a procedurally generated environment facilitating up to 16 players. Find and deposit scrap, loot items and weapons, and engineer modules for stat-boosting effects. Food is scarce, so grow your own in a safe location you can fortify and lockdown. Other scrappers can be a lifeline or a flatline; pick your fights carefully.
Raid secure locations defended by CCTV, guards, vaults, and hackable autodoors. The loot is always proportional to the risk.
Enter the tunnel system to find a maze of sprawling corridors littered with valuables. What you encounter down here is well adapted to the dark, so bring a flashlight.

Pre-Alpha Notice:
ScrapRoad is a game about open-world decision making, looting, and progression. We provide tools to facilitate roleplay such as trade, or give you the option to go full-bandit. We want there to be freedom of choice and to provide the baseline system for you to apply your own strategies and creativity. With that being said, the game in its current state is still bare-bones hence the pre-alpha nomenclature.
As it exists currently, the game provides a stable economy and loot system for you to engage with. It is challenging to aquire high-tier components and weapons which is intended, but once the late-game arrives there is potential for very large scrap high-scores. This can either be game-breaking or functional, depending on how harsh the lose-all-scrap-and-inventory mechanic is in testing (note that modules in a module slot are never lost). Passive income machines can be sabotaged and disassembled which provides balance to the long-term economy, resulting in significant losses if heavily invested in a machine's module system. Again, hard to tell without intensive multiplayer testing.
