What is Martial Law?Right now its the framework of a single and multi-player survival game. I emphasize the word "framework". As of now it has the basic functions and mechanics developed over months upon months by a one-man development team. It is *not* I repeat *NOT* a complete game. If what you want is a complete game DONT buy it.What you are doing by purchasing is supporting an indie developer who has built a mechanical framework and core that will be continually expanded upon in constant cooperation with the community. What you are doing by purchasing is guaranteeing that Prophet can continue to work full time (actually significantly more than "full time") on the development. What you are doing is funding the continued expansion of the game whether that means actual additional paid staff or new equipment to build and test the game or just keeping Prophet from having to split his time between multiple jobs.Who shouldnt purchaseSomeone who is looking for a finished gameSomeone who doesnt want to help grow and develop a true indie titleSomeone who really cant afford the price for something that isnt a finished productSomeone with no patience for the unavoidable bugs and delays in WIP softwareWho should purchaseSomeone who wants to play a role in building a real non-zombie based survival gameSomeone who can afford the price without raiding the piggy bankSomeone who is patient and understands the pitfalls and tribulations of a one-man dev teamSomeone who really is passionate about indie gamesSomeone who just wants to try something completely newI urge you to think twice and think deeply before you purchase this game. I believe we are being completely up-front with what it is and what it isnt. If you have *ANY* doubts we would strongly encourage you not to buy it now and instead wait until more features you want have been added. However if you like what you have seen so far I welcome you to help Prophet out with a purchase so that the game can proceed at pace to its eventual full implementation. The more purchases are made the more resources can be put into speeding up the development hiring staff paying artists for contributions et cetera. So whats working? As of release the following things (we will update the description as more features are implemented)Current FeaturesMatch Mode Arena based jet-pack having super jumping fun or more realistic CTF Team Deathmatch or FFA matches.Level Editor The level editor is meant to be a simple yet powerful editor that will allow the community to build content and tell their own stories in the Martial Law universe. SinglePlayer This will be the strength of Martial Law compared to most other survival games. Right now the framework is a good portion of the way to completion with (mostly) working inventory a large open world (not yet really populated) functional AI (limited) and vehicles.planned FeaturesBuilding Building in Martial Law will be a simple process of collecting the items you need to craft the object you want to build or place the random pieces of debris you have collected from around the world to build your own survival shelter traps or works of art. Crafting Crafting at first will be a basic recipe system. You can find recipes by exploring the different areas in the world meeting people that have already learned the skills that are willing to teach you or research the craft-able items that you find steal or trade for in the game. Bartering Trading is important to secure your survival and so there will be a simple system giving players a secure place to trade buy or sell goods with other players. There will be no "Store" to exploit or pay to win and all items will need to be found or created in-gameAgriculture Just like in the real world an area can be over hunted very easily and so learning how to grow and raise your own food is important.Exploration Sometimes it is nice to be able to give your legs a rest. Players will be able to travel by multiple means on land air and sea.Thank you for reading this and thanks for your interest in Martial Law.
