Direct Quote

"It has a really historical... it is really historical so this game is very concerned with historical accuracy and with simulating the life of... a squire to a knight."

Market Gap

Lack of engaging historical games in the market.

Many games set in historical contexts often focus on fantasy elements, neglecting the rich narratives and realism found in actual history. Gamers interested in more authentic experiences often find themselves frustrated by the lack of games that explore these themes in depth. As a result, there’s a demand for historical games that offer not just accurate settings but also engaging gameplay that immerses players in historical events, community dynamics, and the complexities of daily life during different eras. The current gaming landscape does not adequately cater to those looking for a deeper connection to real historical contexts.

Summary

The idea centers around creating a historical adventure game set in a specific period, focusing on community dynamics and real-life events rather than fantasy elements. This game would allow players to navigate the complexities of life as a squire in medieval Bohemia, engaging with the social structures, politics, and everyday challenges of the time. Players would undertake quests that reflect the struggles and interactions of historical figures, building relationships with NPCs that influence the storyline. By emphasizing realism and historical accuracy, this game could attract a niche audience yearning for depth in storytelling and gameplay. Similar to what Kingdom Come Deliverance offers, this game would allow for a rich narrative experience while simulating real-life scenarios that require players to make choices impacting their community.

Interactive Historical Narrative Experience

This idea proposes developing an interactive historical narrative experience where players embark on quests that are deeply intertwined with the social and political dynamics of a specific historical era. As players navigate through the story, their choices will impact the community and the outcomes of various quests, making for a unique storytelling experience. By integrating character development and moral dilemmas, this game would challenge players to think critically about their decisions in the context of an authentic historical backdrop. The focus would be on creating a narrative that feels alive, where the player's actions significantly impact the world around them, similar to the quests seen in Kingdom Come Deliverance.

Community-Driven Historical Simulation Game

This concept revolves around creating a community-driven historical simulation game where players work together to build and maintain their communities within a richly detailed historical setting. Players would be able to collaborate on quests, share resources, and navigate the complexities of living in a historical era, all while influencing the game world through their collective actions. The game would feature a variety of roles that players can take on, from builders to leaders, allowing for diverse gameplay experiences. By emphasizing community and social interactions, this game could provide a unique twist on traditional simulation games, encouraging players to engage with one another and shape their shared history.
