Deep Underground: Freedom and evolution in the MMORPG world

The video game industry is constantly evolving, and Deep Underground is proof of this. This MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) breaks with the traditional conventions of the genre, offering a user experience in which there is no set path.

Here, the player is the absolute protagonist, free to make choices that will shape their story, unlocking abilities and power-ups tailored to their play style.

The state of the industry

To understand Deep Underground's proposal, it is first necessary to analyse the current context of the MMORPG genre and the limitations it faces.

  • Tendency to follow the same formulaMost companies have opted for a safe approach, following a general pattern that has come to define the MMORPG genre. Predictable worlds, repetitive mechanics and linear progression systems are common in the most popular titles.
  • A small window on innovationHowever, some games have managed to stand out by introducing innovative mechanics that have made a difference, proving that there is still room for creativity and evolution in this genre.

Where is our video game set?

Deep Underground was born with the ambition to break the mould by combining game mechanics from different games and offering a dynamic class system together with a freer gameplay. Here, strategy and player freedom are the keys to a unique and unrepeatable experience.Our objectives

Aware of the challenges and opportunities of the genre, at Deep Underground we aim to achieve ambitious goals that redefine the gaming experience.

  • Unique and infinite class systemDevelop an unprecedented class system, based on combining core classes to offer infinite possibilities. This approach not only provides total flexibility, but does not limit gameplay, allowing access to all mechanics once unlocked.
  • Fun for all playersDeep Underground has been designed to appeal to all player profiles. An exhaustive study of each type of user has been carried out in order to implement mechanics that are interesting and entertaining, with the aim of maximising the target audience and offering an inclusive and varied experience.
  • A reactive and living worldIn Deep Underground, every action counts. The world evolves and reacts to the decisions of all players, creating a collective and dynamic experience where every event impacts the game universe.

Innovation and Freedom: The Future of MMORPGs

Deep Underground represents a new era for MMORPGs, where freedom of choice and mechanical innovation are at the forefront. By challenging traditional conventions and offering a dynamic class system alongside a reactive world, this project seeks to redefine the genre.
