'Nakwon: Last Paradise' Reveals Development Roadmap After Pre-Alpha Playtest

by Rainier on Jan. 29, 2024 @ 8:58 a.m. PST

Set in Seoul, Nakwon: Last Paradise is a 3rd person PvPvE zombie apocalypse stealth/survival game, in which players must use their wits to avoid detection, loot items, and escape to survive.

Nakwon: Last Paradise is a PvPvE game for up to 16 players from MintRocket, which most recently introduced Dave The Diver.

Experience a new form of 'Post-Apocalypse Life' that you've never seen before. Explore Extraction Survival and gather resources from the PvPvE city, where Zombies and Survivors coexist to survive in this new societal structure.

The sub-title "Last Paradise" holds a profound meaning, signifying that 'Yeouido' is a restricted Quarantine Zone, where Survivors are gathered to evade Zombies—it’s the last region where hope of survival remains. The teaser video featuring actual gameplay from an early game build showcases various ways to survive in Seoul, a city filled with tension and silence.

Meanwhile, in line with its commitment to player-centric development, MintRocket plans to hold a pre-alpha open test of Nakwon: Last Paradise for players later this year.

Following Nakwon: Last Paradise's first public playtest in December, MINTROCKET is revealing its first priorities for ongoing development.

1) Strengthening Infrastructure:

  • Improving Game Service: Strengthening anti-cheat measures, minimizing server lag, UX redesign
  • Adding Basic Features: Character appearance customization, in-game voice chat, matchmaking based on MMR

2) Reflecting Playtest Feedback:

  • Combat Overhaul: Separation of upper and lower body combat, improvement of impact/contact, separation of left/right-hand slots, natural movement
  • Zombie Enhancement: Adding new Zombie types, enhancing the satisfaction of killing Zombies, increasing Zombie threat level
  • Scouting Rule Improvements: Starting point selection, Exit rule improvements, removal of toxic gas leak that shrinks map

3) New Content:

  • Main Quests + Side Quests
  • New Game Mode: Adding PvE Co-op mode (up to 4-player parties, multiple parties can join)
  • Exploration Content: Adding difficulty selection, map changes based on difficulty, applying random weather
  • Farming Content: Adding equipment grades and options, adding equipment skills
  • City Content: Adding costume shop, hair salon, plastic surgery, etc
  • New Items: Installable consumables, shield equipment, etc

The items mentioned above are major components, and there may be less major tasks not listed here (e.g., sound improvement, mail system, etc.). 

Key Features:

  • A Realistic Zombie Survival Set in the Backdrop of Korea: Seoul, the city of scarce guns and plentiful hiding spots within its clustered buildings and alleys.Survive as an ordinary human, relying solely on your senses and keep yourself safe from Zombies.
  • A Life-and-Death Extraction Survival within the PvPvE World: You must infiltrate the city full of Zombies (AI) and other Survivors (Players) to collect useful items and sell them or make money by completing missions.Be cautious as you'll lose everything you have once you die.
  • A Stealth Survivor TPS Consuming Audiovisual Elements and Strategy: Zombies are drawn to sounds, and upon spotting human beings, they chase after them. Cover yourselves and move in silence.Lure Zombies, disrupt their attention, and run away. A single gunshot will draw all nearby Zombies, so please act with caution.
  • Cruel Revelation of Human Greed in a Multiplayer Setting: In this world with no laws and rules, human beings are the last ones you can trust.Survival hinges on murdering others and plundering their belongings. Be cautious about everything, and trust no one.
  • Life in a Citizen Class Made by Survivors: Your Citizen Grade determines privileges and access levels. You need to make money for rent and better equipment. Ownership of higher Citizen Grades will grant you access to more and more.
  • Blend of Simulation and Extraction Survival: Every single day unfolds within the Safety Zone.You must decide yourself what to do and eat for survival.
