Gaianaut

Gaianaut is a made-up word which is a combination of the greek words "Gaia" and "-naut" which means Earth and Traveller respectively. In similar fashion, the term of astronaut should well be established as being an explorer or voyager of the stars.

This project is part of an innovation project (143601a) by the HdM and supervised by Mr. Sven Kirsch. The innovation topic is the 'Gamification' of locale factors which tries to explore the possibilities of a player's locale circumstances that could influence the game, game progression and game mechanics.

Project Gaianaut is first and foremost a videogame set on a dystopic and futuristic earth which is mostly devoid of life and civilization but filled with pollution and monsters. It will be a survival, dungeon-exploration and action-RPG game that can be played on a smartphone.
