Project Dissonance

Project Dissonance is a game that takes inspiration from Bioware's Anthem's flight mechanics, and I aim to bring these mechanics to life in a passion project developed by just myself! This game will not be as large, or as detailed as Anthem, but it will include what I and many others love from the game, with its own spin.
Current Development Tracker

The Current Build is just a  Multiplayer Flight Test, and contains a few bugs! Feedback on the movement feel is greatly appreciated.

I have current plans in motion and part of that is the design goals:

All is Work in Progress and I would appreciate feedback and suggestions!

Enemy Design

• Base Types: Flying, Ground, Titan

• Sub classes will be diverse based on types

• No enemy health bars, Instead I'm considering Limb based health with dismemberment. (Option to toggle bars will be available)

Class Design

• Behemoth: A tank, slow moving, can absorb damage and repel it, scaling it's abilities based on damage taken. Will be the focus for aggro.

• Stryder: Agile, fast moving, damage scales based on successful dodges.

• Monsune: Jack of all trades, the go to shooter class with increased reload speed and increased weapon damage which scales on suit temperature.

• Mechanist: Creates Turrets, Flight Coolant Zones, and Can Repair teammate suits.

These are subject to change but I want your opinion on design!

World Design: Tall, Dense, Layers. Focusing on the flight mechanic for traversal and how to get around. Some areas are inaccessible on foot and vice versa.

Game Loop: Open World exploration: Find dungeons accessible from the world, some hidden, some more obvious.

Storms: Remember the Cataclysm from the E3 Demo? I want to incorporate this concept into this game. These Storms will wreak havoc in an area, increasing hostile density and if you fly into it, you and your group will load into an instance based mission, with more favorable rewards. The catch is to get into the core of the storm, you will need to avoid obstacles flying about that if hit you will send you hurdling to the ground.

Mission Types: I want to avoid a go here kill x. Mission ideas are being planned but suggestions are welcome.

SCOPE and LIMITATIONS: As a 1 man team I will be limited on how fast I can get things completed but rest assured I am motivated to bring this project to reality with the support from you all! This is just the beginning and I will be keeping yous updated along the journey. Currently the design document is what I will be forming while also setting up this early multiplayer prototype! With costs being limited it will be closer to a 1-6 man coop game for you, your friends or random people together to play.
