Project Description


Hello everybody, welcome to Project Tasmania, an open-world multiplatform game built on all the real-world open data of Tasmania, the front and centre of national conversations in Australia.

Why an open-world multiplatform game? Elden Ring has sold over 16.6 million copies worldwide across all platforms, Genshin Impact has consistently brought in $1 billion every six months on average, and most people who have access to the internet are most likely to know these super popular video games.

Video games are good at telling stories and the player loves good stories. If you search for the story of Elden ring, there are About 8,480,000 results in just videos, and this game was just released on 25 February 2022.

This project will be an open-world third-person video game. Players can explore and experience the historical geological, cultural and natural history data of Tasmania while playing the game.

This means that the player around the globe can walk on a 3d Virtual Tasmania that is built according to the different temporal LiDAR datasets, in knowing Tasmania without actually travelling in this real world of Epidemic and save guard the biosecurity of the land.

players can jump between the different timelines. see the Coastlines, the South- sea Cliffs that are 200 m above sea level. the ancient forests with Plants since Gondwana.  the Cool and quiet rainforest with mosses, lichens on the floor and on tree trunks, see and listen to the streams and waterfalls

Players can become wildlife according to the area: Shorebirds, humpback whales, Australian Fur Seals, Tasmanian Devils, Pademelons, Wombat, Bennett 's Wallabies and Cape Barren Goose, and even the extinct Thylacine, and interact with other objects in the game.

This project will remind the world of the land of Tasmania, brand awareness will bring funding and opportunity. And who doesn't love Video games?
