Started working on inventory/loadout. My profile is the only one with items set up, so you can see what I'm going for here: RPG Player
Also I'm not sure if @the-Pi-guy started working on lore or not, but while working on the map and items I've come up with a few ideas.
I absolutely love post apocalyptic settings, yet I hate how overused they've recently become. So what if we flip it around a bit? Game takes place on an alternative version of Earth, where aliens visited around 500 BC. These aliens were strong and technologically advanced, yet opted to use humans as a slave source. Their reign was cruel and long.
Around 300 AD, the aliens disappeared during the dead of night. Game takes place circa 1600 AD where their lost cities are nothing but ruins from another time. Society has moved on, humanity has healed. Most are still scared of the relics and the thought of the aliens returning one day, with these fears replacing religion and folklore in their communities. Some people have succeeded in using the remnants of alien tech, yet their understanding is like that of a baby with a smart phone. It's evolved into essentially magic, spells and all.
End result is ~900 AD technology and culture, magic, ancient metal ruins, and a whole lot of room to grow.
