Scratch-Pad: Concept
Core Concept
I really like the idea of Hunting, gathering, building and farming with the occasional fight with the natives. I don't want a full fledged, first-person-shooter game. The combat is really secondary to the other aspects of the game.
Our game is set in a medieval setting with the in-game story being that the character needs a fresh start in life. A “Restart” (Reboot or Reset is a possibility) if you will.
The character sets sail for a newly discovered, uninhabited island (perhaps as a stowaway), an true island paradise. The character has very little in the way of provisions and must live off the land in order to survive.

A more Modern Twist
The Player is a burnt-out business person, drowning in debt, who is offered a chance to erase all debt and start life over.
The player is approached by a mysterious man who offers to payoff all creditors PLUS give them a $10 million dollar payout if they agree to spend 1-year on a deserted island.
The player must survive off the land by foraging for food, water and shelter.
The Pitch
The setting is a beautiful tropical island paradise overrun by degenerates. Restart is an open-world game that combines multiple game genres including first person shooter, survival horror, tower defense, and role-playing games. It presents combat, crafting, looting, mining, exploration, and character growth.
Game Play
Throughout the character's stay on the island,
