Our first video game, Fortune Favours the Bold, is currently under development in Unreal Engine 4 and slated to be released in the next couple of years.

 

The game is set in mid-15th century Europe, in the wake of the Hundred Years' War. The protagonist, a survivor of the last battle of the said War returned to home in England, broken and traumatized, only to confront a new turbulent reality of the bankrupt nation. England's economy, as the fallout of the lost war and the rapidly changing socio-economic stratification, is suffering the worst downturn in centuries, known as the Great Slump in history. Law and order start to break down, and local magnates become increasingly reckless and take matters into their own hands to settle household vendettas. Two of the most powerful houses in opening feuding for the supremacy in the region where the protagonist lives, are the Percy and Neville families.

 

Players must make difficult choices to navigate the local politics mired in violence and intrigues to secure his or her own fortune. Sign up to be a retainer of a rapidly expanding house that has become increasingly militaristic, or stand on the sideline watching the countryside burns. In the wars to come, whose side to join, or to betray? Soon enough the entire nation is engulfed in a series of civil wars, known as the Wars of the Roses. Leverage your capitals gained in the hard fought victories during the Percy-Neville feud to quickly elevate your status by amassing favours among the mighty English peers. Or, spit in the face of loyalty, to become a solider of fortune, fighting his own war and selling the service only for the highest bidder.

 

When the dust of the civil war settles, you must continue on with open-world gameplay with the wealth, influence and military assets you have accumulated. Become a venture captain and enrich yourself beyond imagination and break free of the shackle of the feudal caste system, in the numerous succession crises around Europe and the feuds among Italian city-states. Wage open warfare or make shady backroom deals with rival mercenary bands such as the condottieres, landsknechts, gallowglasses, and free companies. Court local noble lords and ladies, and elevate your status through romance and marriage. Impress and befriend contemporary fencing masters, or engage in bitter rivalries with them, to have a chance at going down history as a legend of martial arts. Tutor nobles' sons in martial prowess, and train them for duels. Traffick in lavish and exotic goods such as spice, silk, wine and porcelain. Deal with influential professional guilds and prominent armourers such as the legendary Lorenz Helmschmied and Antonio Missaglia. The sky is the limit. Fortune favours only the bold!

 

Customize your character, from the appearance, physique, to personalities and social background. Don immaculately re-created historical arms and armor, and fight in historically authenticate techniques with motion-captured animations, inspired by Historical European Martial Arts following the teachings of period fencing masters' surviving treatises.
