The core loop
Pick a class (Tank, Healer, DPS, or Chef); loot the Slums and augment your frame; group up and push the Industrial Basin; raid the Crown Ascendant for augments nobody else has. In v1.0 terms a player drops in, moves through 2-3 biomes, encounters NPCs and enemies, crafts, equips, and fights using world-streamed assets, with dialogue, inventory, combat, crafting, and networking all wired in BP/C++ and character progression kept across sessions through the backend.
Features
- Quest-first VR foundation with Meta Quest 3 as the performance baseline and SteamVR as the enhancement layer, targeting at least 72 fps
- Cross-platform MMO presence: a shared world with head and hand avatars, parties, proximity voice, emotes
- Server-authoritative gameplay — combat, damage, healing, quests, loot, progression
- Hybrid combat and classes: physical VR melee combined with button abilities
- Persistent resistance progression: players level up, equip gear, complete story quests
Direction
Desert-industrial, grounded and photoreal rather than sterile science fiction. The contrast is ‘engineered abundance versus improvised survival’: resistance equipment is repaired, repurposed, exposed, and personal, while Meridian Combine equipment is sealed, standardized, replaceable, and institutionally supplied
