Project: ETProject Vision Lead: LiquidImagine being dropped, alone, onto a hostile island the size of GTA V, a place where the sun burns, the wind howls, and every living thing has its own reason to hate you.You are nobody here.This isn’t just another survival sandbox, it’s a living simulation. Every creature, faction, and blade of grass serves a purpose in an ever-moving ecosystem. What happens in the world doesn’t wait for you. It reacts to you.We’re taking the mechanical DNA of Kenshi and merging it with a deep systemic simulation, think Project Zomboid’s vision realism meets Elite Dangerous’ background sim. The world runs with or without you.🌍 Current Development Progress
Core Systems (Early Alpha):✅ Prototyping the player controller (in-progress tuning and plugin rebuild).🔧 Implementing vision limitation mechanics. What you can’t see can and will hurt you.🩸 Developing a full limb-based damage system, including early testing for dismemberment mechanics.🌾 Environment sculpted with base materials in place. Next step: populating the world with towns, ruins, and the remnants of something far older.🧬 Design Pillars
You Are Nobody: No destiny. No prophecy. Only struggle.A World That Lives Without You: Simulated economy, ecology, and warfare continue even when you’re not watching.Consequences Are Permanent: Every scar, every faction collapse, every lost limb... They’re part of your story now.We’re just scratching the surface of what’s possible here, a truly emergent sandbox where every story feels like your own apocalypse.

Project: No FutureWe’re beyond excited to finally lift the veil on our second major project - a hardcore, non-linear open-world survival FPS inspired by the unforgiving worlds of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and classic Fallout.☀️ The World
In No Future, humanity clings to survival under the scorched rays of a dying sun.
Civilization has collapsed. Desperation has replaced trust.
People shoot first — and ask questions... never.You begin as a lone wanderer, with no preset goal.
No quests. No markers. Just survival.
Your journey, your story, your choices - all are entirely your own.🧭 Current Development Status
We’re deep in early alpha and making great progress:🔧 Player Controller: Core movement is feeling great (Base movement, doors and inspection are already in.).🌍 World Building: The terrain is sculpted, and material work is complete.🏚️ Next Steps: Continue populating the map with props, towns, and desolate ruins.

Our Story

Shining Shores Studios began with a simple idea: that games should move people.We’re a small, tight-knit group of developers, artists, and dreamers brought together not by industry pedigree or big budgets but by a shared love for storytelling, worldbuilding, and the power of interactive experiences. What started as a side project became a calling: to make games that don’t just entertain but resonate.We believe that games are one of the most powerful storytelling mediums on Earth, capable of challenging perspectives, building empathy, and inspiring lasting change. Our goal isn’t to chase trends or maximize monetization. We’re here to create something meaningful: worlds players can get lost in, choices that carry weight, and stories that stay with you.At Shining Shores, we value community, creativity, and authenticity. We’re committed to building our studio in a way that reflects those values with transparency, kindness, and a long-term goal of giving back through initiatives like sustainable tech reuse and supporting access to gaming for those who need it most.We may be small, but we’re building something big...and we’re just getting started.
