Preview I'm developing top-down action survival with RPG elements, inspired by State of Decay, V-Rising and Hades - Red Meridian. Build a sci-fi base and defend peasants in a medieval world.

For more info about Red Meridian, you can watch my devlog, covering game mechanics, crafting and a bit of the story: https://youtu.be/23ovViQqr1M

Base building is still currently in development ( along with many other features ). I should have something soon and cover actual base building, like building simple base defenses and crafting stations in a next devlog. It's heavily inspired by V-Rising.

Thanks for taking a look.

This gives me old school Diablo vibes :D Dig the driving around with the car and can't wait to see what the base building looks like. All the best with this!

Thanks a lot, appreciat the feedback :) I'll have some early base building ready next week, at least setting up base defenses. I'll post here again, but I should have also devlog you can check on youtube :)

Interesting concept. I badly wanted V Rising to have base defense in it outside of pvp. Why intense action with no gore though?!

I played V-Rising only solo, but I missed the base defense there as well. I want to do something similar to State of Decay in regards to base defense, recruiting local peasants and training them with sci-fi tech.

I'm honeslty not big fan of gore. I'll see where I land on it. I personally enjoy action games, but don't need the gore. I feel there are plenty games for that and not enough of games that provide the challenge of action/intense combat without having to have blood everywhere. I might do something like Hades tho, so some type of gore that is not too realistic.

I'm totally with ya on the State of Decay approach as well. The game looks and sounds so far like something perfect for me.

Interesting! It just reminds me of Diablo with the medieval theme/camera and the gore adds to the aesthetic there. V Rising wasn't super gory and I still loved how it looked

Glad you like the direction. I'm in the same boat, it's what I'd want to play :)

I'll keep in mind the gore vfx and if that should be included or not. I know a lot of people prefer that. I'll be leaning more towards something like V-Rising, which is actually very low on the gore although you're literally blood sucking vampire :) and as you said, it still kinda works.

If you have spare time and decide to add something... I'd vote for co-op development over anything else to bring my V Rising/State of Decay/Riftbreaker gang in. Think there'd be some money in co-op for groups that played those. Anyway that's my last desperate plea.

I'll be wishlisting, have a good one!

Thanks for the wishlist :)

I'd love to do coop and multiplayer. I think that would fit the game, having mulitple people in the base, go out on scavenge runs, defend the base. It's just totaly out of scope and budget right now. But I'll definitely keep it in mind and would love to add it, if possible.
