Kickstarter of Note: ATOM RPG

Hailing from around the world, AtomTeam are an indie developer keen to look to their heritage. Taking inspiration from the games, books, and films that have inspired them over the years, they’re in the process of creating ATOM RPG a classic RPG set in a post-nuclear Soviet Union.

The team told us: “We try to put as much detail as we can into our world, our stories, and our characters. Our main goals include creating unique portraits and dialogues for each NPC. The role-playing process is skill-driven, meaning dialogue options and ways to solve a quest depend on the set of abilities the player has. Making the game non-linear is a priority to: you can visit any location on the world map at any time. You can even kill key characters, and still have the possibility of beating the game.”

ATOM RPG is on Kickstarter as we speak, with the team hoping to raise $15,000 before the end of the campaign in June in order to make their vision a reality. The current alpha version includes: 21 quests, 37 characters, 16 kinds of random encounters, five major locations, and more than 2000 lines of dialogue.
