Black Hole Gaming

Bringing the Future to Gamers

Project name:

The Dawning

Brief description:

The Dawning is a Space Sim with a
RPG story line and a FPS combat system. You might have noticed that all the
games that are being released currently are all mostly medieval based. Black
Hole Gaming feels that there isnt enough of the Space Sim/RPG/FPS genre and WE
want to bridge that gap.
The Dawning takes place in space
and on planets. The player will start off on their chosen NPC-Inhabited planet
and from there begin their adventures in the universe of The Dawning.
The player controls their chosen
character in a Third person perspective or FPP. As in other games, the player
can also hire NPC characters. But we have planned to implement a different
feature, the feature allowed in mostly single player games of switching between
your characters and your own main character.

Could we possibly get a bit more information on the game? I checked out your website, and there's basically zero information on what the game is about, even what genre.
