Explore The Ruins Of An Abandoned World. Survive The Culling.

 
 

Innovative progression systems

  • Our philosophy

    We were certain from our conception that many existing RPG systems and designs were not right for Harbinger, and we worked hard to design systems from the ground up that suits our game and the experience we want you to have.

    We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel, but we will always ensure that our experience is handcrafted to suit our game and ensure that our experience is truly unique and genre-defining.

  • Character Progression

    We know how important it is for players to feel like they can express their individuality and uniqueness in-game, and we wanted to make sure that players can define who their character is and what they excel at in a way that has real gameplay value.

    In Harbinger, every player will have access to a general character tree with over 40 traits that define what your background and heritage are in this world of nomads.

  • Class Progression

    Harbinger features 7 completely unique classes that give your character unique skills and tools to survive and thrive.

    However, we didn’t want players to feel permanently fixed into clearly defined classes, so we designed our class system as a hybrid multi-class system that enables you to purchase into all 7 classes should you wish with periodic respeccing options.

  • Weapon Progression

    Our game features a unique weapon progression system that allows you to gain experience with each weapon and learn new skills and improvements to your handling of each and every one of them.

    We felt this was a feature that has been overlooked in FPS gaming despite being incredibly important to players. Want to use an old bolt action without feeling like you’re punishing yourself? Master it and make it shine.

Beautiful open world design

Our world is set in a fictional former USSR country that has been abandoned for decades following a global world war.

For over 5 years we have employed the best techniques and tools to achieve the absolute highest standards in our world design. From visuals and audio, and across multiple zones and themes, we aim to bring you a truly immersive experience.

A modern design from the ground up

  • Smooth motion

    We’ve had enough of clunky, unresponsive locomotion in games. Getting stuck on small objects, unbalanced inertia and many other aspects that leave the player controls feeling outright bad. In Harbinger, we have paid heavy attention to our character animation and code to ensure that you feel like you’re playing a game made today, not 10 years ago.

  • Engaging gunplay

    Harbinger is built by gamers, not suits, and we know that having clunky gunplay is a deal breaker. Alongside our character animation and code, we have also paid heavy attention to the feel of our weapon animation systems to ensure it delivers a modern and satisfying gunplay system that is both smooth and challenging to master. We have taken inspiration from a handful of our favorite FPS games to blend them into a unique style that fits our game perfectly.

  • Medcore survival

    We’ve played all of the major survivals of the past decade or more, and we have a very clear idea of how we want to balance the challenge of surviving with tedium. We feel many games have gone too far with punishing survival elements. In Harbinger we want to push players to focus slightly more towards exploration of the world rather than constantly focusing on their survival.

Compelling story. Fresh enemy.

The storyline of Harbinger centers around an ancient alien species that has arrived on Earth and has been attempting to exterminate humanity for decades.

You are one of the lucky ones, who has managed to survive this war on humanity, and it is your job to not only survive the culling and against other desperate survivors but to take the fight back to this aggressive invader of Earth.

Utilizing Cutting Edge Techniques

Harbinger has and will continue to be developed on the cutting edge of what is possible in video gaming and utilizes a variety of cutting-edge workflows and systems to deliver the ultimate immersion.

Our game is almost 100% photogrammetry, meaning objects and textures are captured and produced directly from real-life objects and surfaces, furthermore, we have been using Unreal Engine 5’s ground-breaking tools from the start such as Lumen, Nanite, and many more to help drive our photogrammetry world and produce the best experience possible.

Survival Basics. Done Different.

Harbinger is designed from the ground up with custom mechanics and features to ensure we are able to deliver a truly fresh vision and take on the genre. We aren’t trying to reinvent the wheel, but we do have a clear vision of what we feel would be a fantastic gaming experience, and we are determined to create it.

Indie development. Community care.

Above all, we want to remind you that we are indies, and we feel like that means a lot. We want you to know that you will be kept in the loop, as well as given the voice to influence development and direction of the project. Many of you out there will have great ideas and are extremely passionate about this genre, and we’re all ears! We have a clear vision in mind of what this game will become, but that dosen’t mean that it cant be even better with your support. Join us for the ride and get involved now!
