Protoxide Racing

It’s been quite a time since our last post in the blog, but trust us – it was worth waiting for. We are almost done working on this game and the time has come to reveal some details of the world which player is going to visit.

The first chapter shall tell about the events preceeding to the events of Protoxide.

The game actions take place in the streets of american city Steelers at 2068. As a result of fast industrial expansion, the resources quickly run out and the atmosphere gets polluted. Meanwhile the technological level allows the humankind to control neighbour planets. The inhabitans of Earth leave their planets in order to colonize the new worlds and start their lives from scratch. The corporation start their production at the remote colonized planets, totally abandoning their outdated actives on Earth. In but a short time some cities became totally abandoned.

Steelers city is exactly an example of such a place. Once an industrial megapolis, nowdays abandoned by the majority of citizens. Only the small group of people who didn’t manage to leave Steelers due to some reasons remains. Although, aside from the common citizens there appeared the bands of criminals. They seized the remains of corporations and power and started the illegal production. Of course, a part of devices was left to rot, but the other one daily and nightly produces weapons, drugs and wargliders (the jet battle machines). What they are unable to produce on their own they just buy or steal from the military or from the other bands.

The goods from Steelers are smuggled to the remaining survived cities where live the majority of illegal products consumerists. There are “mules” in the band – those who carry the stuff with the heavy cars – and “hawks” which engage into battles with the police or competetors, if they do not let caravans go.

Of course the government pays little love to the current order of things, but majority of police and army ensures order in colonies so the smugglers rarely face resistance.

The gangs compete amongst each other but they made an agreement to avoid the needless skirmish. The spheres of influence are decided in the Big Race. The best hawks of all the gangs compete in speed and might, and the winners win title, power and respect.

In the next chapter we shall tell about the Steelers gangs and main characters of the game.
