The past days I have heavily invested in learning more about world generation with Gaea among others. I've also started looking at more tutorials for world generation. I believe I will need a lot of time getting acquainted to the engine to be able to make anything decent.
In the meantime I've also worked more on the Storyline which I think would work very well.
Storyline
It is the year 2061. The past four decades have seen improvements to human life in many areas. Closer symbiotic relationships with AI have fostered amongst others more effective labor, higher longevity and a massive amount of breakthroughs. Yet mankind's’ nature never changed. Where people found new ways to become wealthy, others suffered. Where earths natural resources were depleted and with waste handling never being a priority, greenery and animal life perished.
In 2061 a fatal accident occurred as trials in a secret facility on the Galápagos Islands caused a chain reaction. Toxic chemicals were carried on the winds, spreading to the far reaches of our planet as an executioners blade. Most of Earths surface was no longer passable, those that dared would see their lungs and skin burned and died within a few minutes. Survivors of this event are scarce.
Though people don’t always look after each other, they are remarkable capable of coming up with ways to survive. Discoveries on how to survive throughout the polluted wastelands were going around like a virus on its own. There is even different stages of protection based on the method used.
