Project Description:

This is a mixed-reality game which players play as people came to Pittsburgh for settlement in history. The game loop contains two stages: (1) plays asynchronously on Discord between weekly sessions to gather resources, and (2) meet in sessions to discuss how they build their community with resources gathered.

The resources are woods, animals, stones...things supposed to be find around the place players live. There will be hints on how to find the resources but the information are based on the Pittsburgh in history instead of today.
