Intro 

The “Road Warrior” is a multi-platform action-adventure game based in a post-apocalyptic setting where Earth’s dwindling resources will prompt mankind into a war that will destroy all he has built, and only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage will survive.          

Background 

Over 20 years ago, moviegoers were introduced to the world of Mad Max. It is a post-apocalyptic world of despair and violence that speaks to our basic fears and impulses, pitting morality against survival, crushing the souls of ordinary men.  For more information see: Research Page.

Description

     As a new scavenger to the futuristic wasteland, you have to learn to survive.  The world based on the Road Warrior, TM (Warner Bros.) series is an abundant world full of items you can scavenge, buy, sell, trade, use, or transform.  You can access this world in either a single/multi-player console platform, or you may co-inhabit its levels with thousands of other people simultaneously in an online, networked, multiplayer platform. In the multiplayer networked platform you enter a persistent world, which exists independent of your presence, but is permanently shaped by your actions.  Existing communities are a last-ditch attempt to maintain a semblance of civilization in a world gone mad.

     You take the role of one of the many playable characters from Road Warriors to Nomads, and advance your skills needed for survival.  For example: scavenging for fuel or weapons, mechanical engineering, foraging for food and water, etc.  While traveling through the desolate country you meet up with other players and non-player characters, that may perceive you as a friend or a foe, in a world that is constantly growing.  You can choose your level of participation in the events, which occur in the world around you. In example, the inhabitants of one place are under siege by a gang of crazed nomads and punk rockers, with a crossbow by your side (or any of the available weapons of choice) you may enter the combat and either choose to fight against or along side the Nomads.

     You will be able to drive a varied collection of vehicles from motorbikes to armored big wheel trucks, dune buggies, and helicopters.  In this strange quasi-apocalyptic setting, defined by the absence of law, the scarcity of gasoline, and the physical bareness of land, you create your own path or die at the hands of other Nomads.  The fact that you exist with other real people from around the globe adds a level of immersion that must be experienced to be believed.
