3 INTRODUCTION 7 billion people living on the planet today are citizens of 258 countries. These 7 billion people speak about 5-6 thousand languages, And these 7 billion people communicate, cooperate and coexist. And only in games people can communicate with each other despite being part of different nations and speaking different languages. There are 1.8 billion gamers in the world and PC gaming started to dominate the market. Every gamer has a different opinion about consoles and PC's. According to ESA studies - 62% of gamers prefer to game on PC. Especially shooter games are mostly popular on PC because of traditional controls with mouse for aiming and keybord for moving. Looking upon these facts, platform for our game was chosen without any doubts. First goal is to create a game where people can get to the different aspects of the game play and switch to other without any looses in gaming experience. We position our game as RPG shooter, at moment we can t find any competitor to our genre, our game content include open world experience, pvp and pve gameplay. Second important goal is to bring game to e-sports arena, beside pve and open world, pvp aspect of the game will have different balance for players abilities, weapon damage and gaming obstacles. Balancing pvp and pve aspect of the game at same time is hard and useless work, so we separate these aspects of the game. Professional pvp league that will include different game types at moment is under NDA to save interest of early investors. Professional PvP league will have same balance as Quick matches in pvp. 2

4 EXPERIMENTAL PROJECT. As an innovation-focused studio, we work on AI and its implementation it to the game. So far we achieved big progress in this sphere and are ready to present our innovation in a ZERA game. Bringing survival aspect to the game was our priority, when players wish to spend time outside of pvp battles and want to explore the ZERA world to learn story of its world, it won t be easy, beside main towns and small villages only protection that player can expect is its only himself. When player leaves the town he can lose everything he got, so better leave all unnecessary items in your stash in nearest city, all stashes are connected between cities. Hardcore aspect of the game is important to bring back old good memories to new gamers, and on horizon of nowadays casual games ZERA will take best spot under the spotlights. Main goal of our project is to create survival shooter game that will involve different hardcore game modes and give players opportunity to choose their next steps 3

5 ZERA Project ZERA is a survival MMORPG shooter that includes «free play open world», «Player versus environment (dungeon zones)», «Player versus Player(e-Sports)». The game takes place on island archipelago. Due to unknown circumstances people on islands do not communicate with the outside world, and the governments of the countries notice changes in the radiation background in this zone. Of particular concern is the absence of communication with the nuclear power plant. International organizations decide to send various groups, including troops, to collect data on what happened. Marauders and treasure seekers head there as well. City prototype is Volgodonsk Experimental game was secretly developed for last 2 years and finally we are ready to present it to community. We want to make this game not only commercially successful but also fun to play for our fellow players, casual or hardcore, professional gamers or not, we want everyone to have fun in it. E-sport arena: is our main goal to hit during summer 2018! Recognition among experienced players in the e-sports arena will be a sign that our sleepless nights were worth it. Project ZERA Survival open world MMORPG with different types of gameplay: «Free play», «Player Versus Environment», «Player Versus Player». Old school hardcore (if you are killed by other player in the open world you lose all items that you have with you at the moment) We heard you liked Ultima Online? We too! Project ZERA was created using Unreal Engine, which represents high graphics standards and performance of AAA projects. Including SpatialOS platform. 3 different game modes: Dungeon zone (Player versus Environment) COOP with your friends. We were inspired by such games as: left 4 dead, Warcraft mythic+, Destiny. Solo and team rating. Battleground zone (Player versus Player (FFA mode, team battle mode). E-sports (fair play and rating). We were inspired by such 4

6 games as: Battlefield, PUBG, DayZ. FFA / free play & open world (quest s, world discover, collecting). Features: Using AI to balance the game. Game affected by community decisions. Wide game customization including UI, characters, weapons, items, vehicles. Enroviment zone changes, like custom houses edited by players will be added later. Dynamic living world that has its own history, interesting for research. Session gameplay (fast battles starting from scratch) and the possibility of character growth without burdening routine. Monetization does not affect the game. Easy to play. Different factions, animals, monsters and anomalies, quests and zones, and of course "BIG BAGS OF LOOT"! 5

7 PLAYER EDITION. DAO. AI. We know that no matter how much time and opportunities any studio has, the community will always have much more. Therefore, we are the first studio that will encourage the development and editing of the game directly by players. Any participant of community can suggest a model / quest / game mechanic / some kind of game improvement, improvement will be tested by the community and added to the game, authors of new content will receive a reward (analogue of outsourcing). We introduce this to involve community in game development. All changes in the game will presented to community and followed by open voting. Decentralization of solutions will allow us to avoid actions that will cause dissatisfaction. CrowdDev Any participant of community can suggest a model / quest / game mechanic / some kind of game improvement, it will be tested by the community and added to the game, authors of new content will receive a reward (analogue of outsourcing). We introduce this to involve community in the game development. 6

8 Visuals The game is created on engine which provide the highest class (AAA) - Unreal Engine. With help of engine, the studio has truly limitless capabilities and a full set of tools to create delightful visual aspects of the game. 7

9 CHARACTER We present wide opportunities to customize your character. You can choose appearance, colors of equipment and accessories.

We do not have problems with developing AAA project, we are optimizing our game on every stage putting a lot of time and effort, that s why we using UnrealEngine. We will provide you a game with high performance. We won t be some forever early accesses overhyped game with low optimization level, if you know what we mean! AI We are first in the industry to use Artificial Intelligence to develope the game. Artificial intelligence has much more capabilities than any human being. AI help us with the balancing aspects of the game, models, mechanics, based on the collected data. For example, the ratio of kills to shots, damage inflicted and hits among weapons, to identify weakest or most powerful weapons and their optimization. 9
