About This Game

***PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN EARLY PRE-ALPHA***

Deep in Enemy Territory is a VERY early access pre-alpha game. PLEASE DO NOT buy our game at this stage unless you are okay with playing an early unfinished build and want to:

• Assist with testing

• Support our team

• Help shape the game with feedback

What is Deep in Enemy Territory?

Deep in Enemy Territory puts you in the boots of a United States soldier, stuck Deep in Enemy Territory.

Taking inspiration from the likes of Oregon Trail, and Organ Trail, with an all new perspective and take on the genre!

Deep in Enemy Territory is the next generation of Oregon Trail games, by adding new mechanics and more advanced, randomized scenarios.

If you love Oregon Trail, you are absolutely going to love Deep in Enemy Territory.

How do you win in Deep in Enemy Territory?

Much like Oregon Trail or Organ Trail, the player must get back to their main operating base safely.

Everything the player does is taken into a account to give you a score, which will be logged in your personal bests, and eventually we would like to implement an online leaderboard.

What I am asking from my early adopters

First of all, thank you so much for your interest in my game.

I want the community to be involved in making this a great game, and a worth successor of Oregon Trail. We will actively communicate together on the Steam Forums, as well as a Discord.

Pricing

We believe in fair pricing.

With the pre-alpha launch, we will release the game at a cheap introductory price.

As features are implemented, and the game is polished, the price will of course raise.

Use of AI

We currently are using generative AI for the pixel art. The model we use is Retro Diffusion, a high quality tool using art that is all legally owned by Retro Diffusion.

AI generated art will only be used for the advertising art, the landscapes, backgrounds, main menu, and cut-scenes.

The direction we want to go in is generated landscapes, with hand drawn animated basic pixel art for scenes, as currently there is no way to lock-down style using AI generated pixel art.

If the game makes enough money, we want to pay an artist to replace all the placeholder art!

We also used AI to help with the programming. Claude Sonnet 3.7 and some Claude Sonnet 3.5

Honesty is our policy.

What isn't AI

The actual writing, creative direction/planning, game design, and gameplay loops are all human made, for better or for worse!

Store Art, Art and Content May Change

Due to the pre-alpha nature of the game, art and content may change, hopefully to human made pixel art!

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Some in-game images are generated using AI. We would like to replace this images with an artist when we can afford it, but for now it is there.

Some of the code was assisted VIA AI for teaching and troubleshooting.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

This game contains, war violence. This includes explosions, blood, weapons firing, guts, gore, torture.

We are going to an accurate representation of the war, there will also be drug and alcohol use.

There is also the option to have sex or solicit a prostitute, but this content is censored. The option in a scenario/town will say something along the lines of, have sex, or solicit prostitute, but the visual will be of a hut or something with hearts coming out.

We will not have any actual nudity in the game.
