WHAT WE DO

We are working on an action-adventure / survival video game based on Unreal Engine 4. "Darco - Reign of Elements" is an open world survival game, where steampunk elements meet dragons in a beautifully unique environment.

GAMEPLAY

When you arrive in the world of DARCO, you are given a choice of which elemental dragon you would like to start with. This starter dragon is your companion, never leaving your side throughout the game. Your life will be hard; as you fight starvation and dehydration, you will also need to combat the hostile wilderness filled with unknown predators.

As you build your tower, it gets easier to defend yourself against other players and the threats of the world. You can't hide away in your fortress forever, though. You will need to travel to other ships to gather, survive and improve. Play solo or team up with a friend to survive together. In order to place workbenches, you will need to build a base big enough to support them. Gather experience to unlock recipes and collect enough resources so you can craft tools, weapons, armor or upgrade your tower.

STORY

After the invention of the steam engine, humanity was at the height of its ingenuity, being able to create all sorts of technical wonders. Then, however, a horrible disaster struck, that flooded the earth and rendered the few remaining patches of land uninhabitable. Foreseeing this tragic event, the greatest engineers built habitats with ecosystems to their liking in the form of huge, flying ships, which would become the peaceful home of mankind for centuries.

This changed when the dragons appeared; they began attacking the ships, and thus the Dragon War began. Through the ingenuity of humankind, mechanical monsters began to be built to combat their new foes. This wasn't enough, though: humanity fought until no warriors were left, and the few who survived were left to one basic principle: Every man for himself. Humanity was defeated, the fleet scattered, but the automated factories inside the ships continued producing monsters. With no continued maintenance, errors in production were bound to occur. The machines malfunctioned and began attacking everything living and breathing.

You are one of the few survivors. As your day starts and you are out gathering food, you come across a young dragon, which becomes your new companion. Take care of it, and you will grow stronger together.

WHO WE ARE

About two years ago, TP-Studios came together with a wild idea. The team grew and so did our ideas until the concept of DARCO was born.
The development started back in May 2016 and we are planning to go Early-Access (p2p) on 1st May 2018.

We are the DARCO-crew, 14 people from Dresden, Germany trying to establish the gaming industry in our beautiful city!
We are young, dynamic, and sometimes a bit silly with big dreams that we come closer to reaching every day. Our love for gaming, dragons, and game development brought us together.
