Tech Age Rebellion
About
"What's outside of order, always threatens order! Always!"
You are the leader of a runaway group of civilians, escaping the claws of a planet-spanning empire that does not welcome dissidence. As the escape plan nearly fails when the group steals an empire-owned vessel and is pursued through the seas, they find themselves shipwrecked in an uncharted island. They're left with no resources, no technology, and no knowledge of how to fight monstruous regimes.
Civilians turned Rebels. Leader turned Commander.

The team first met online Early-2018, when Gabeux contacted Kirthos to request permission to use his mods in a modpack of a sandbox game. Mariana, Gabeux's sweetheart, assisted them with art and feedback in their modding efforts. Kirthos soon introduced his childhood friend Liolilol, who had studied and worked with him in past videogame projects and prototypes.
After months of joking around the idea of going indie and making a game together, by the end of 2018 Kirthos and Lio silently started work on a prototype named TownCity. One month later, after inviting Gabeux and Mari over to aid with development, TownCity soon became Tech Age Rebellion and development continued in the spare time of the team's members - with Kirthos leading the technical development full-time.
