================================================================================

ABOUT THIS GAME

================================================================================

[p][b]You wake up with nothing.[/b] No shoes. No money. No friends. A brick in your hand and a whole city that does not care if you make it to morning.[/p]

[p][b]BRICK 2: Rags 2 Riches[/b] is an open-world survival game about starting at the very bottom of Brick City and taking your way to the top. Food, water, a roof, a gun, a car, a crew, a name people know: you take it, make it or steal it.[/p][p]Play alone, with friends in co-op, or on online PvP servers that keep running when you log off. Every base you can see is one you can raid, and every one you build has to hold while you are gone.[/p]

[h2]EXPLORE[/h2]

[p]The island is big and it is not empty. Downtown towers and traffic lights, two favelas stacked up the hills, quiet suburbs, highways out into the forest, rivers you can swim, snow on the high ground and dust on the flats. Day turns to night, storms roll in, and the cold is something you dress for.[/p][p]Ride the bus, hail a taxi, take the train around the city, or take a car that is not yours.[/p]

[h2]GATHER. CRAFT. BUILD.[/h2]

[p]Chop trees, break rocks, mine ore, scavenge bins and dumpsters. Smelt at a furnace, cook on a campfire or a stove, and work your way up three tiers of workbench and the tech sheets that unlock the best gear.[/p][p]Then build: a foundation, walls, a door with a code on it, a second floor. Claim the ground with a tool cabinet, keep the upkeep paid, upgrade wood to stone to metal, wire up a generator and a Powered Smelter that works four times as fast. A base is a home until somebody brings C4.[/p]

[h2]MAKE IT YOURS[/h2]

[p]The Furniture Store on Broad Street sells everything a base needs to feel like yours: sofas, beds that become your respawn point, fridges and safes, a hot tub, darts and a pool table, arcade cabinets that play real games, and TVs with channels of music videos and news.[/p][p]Put security cameras round your base and watch them on your own TV. Hang your guns on a weapon rack, dress an armor mannequin in your best gear and swap into it with one key, light the yard with spotlights, and turn the boom box up.[/p]

[h2]HUNT AND SURVIVE[/h2]

[p]Health, stamina, hunger and thirst all count. Hunt deer with a crossbow, fish the lakes, grow your own crops and dig them up for seed, and dress for the weather, because the highlands will kill you in the wrong clothes. Get sick, get hurt, get patched up.[/p]

[h2]THE CITY NEVER SLEEPS[/h2]

[p]Brick City runs without you: traffic, people on the pavements, food trucks, buses on their routes, the train on its loop. Hustle on a street corner, sell to the pawn shops, take out a loan you might not pay back, buy a car at Big Tony's, put a song on your phone. Your contacts text you with jobs. Some of them are even legal.[/p]

[h2]RIDE[/h2]

[p]Steal a parked car or take one as it drives past, search it for what the last owner left, and drive it on real physics with a speed limiter, a horn, headlights and the radio on. Or take a mountain bike: ride it, hop kerbs, fight from the saddle, and chain it to a post at your base so it is still there when you come back.[/p]

[h2]TAKE WHAT YOU WANT[/h2]

[p]Rob Summit Bank: blow the door, crack the vault, and get to the car before the stars stack up. The police come in waves, SWAT follows, and the helicopter does not give up until it is on fire.[/p]

[p]Enemies see you, hear your footsteps and gunshots, and come looking. The military airbase has soldiers and the best gear on the island, the army comes out to raid, and the prison has its own problems. Bullets drop and take time to arrive, so line up the shot.[/p]

[h2]GANG WARS[/h2]

[p]Four gangs hold turf across the city, and two of them live in the favelas up on the hills. Take a flag and the turf pays your crew. Then keep it: pay for guards, traps and turrets at the flag, because the gangs and the rivals want it back.[/p][p]Cargo planes drop airdrops over the island. Everyone hears the plane. Get there first.[/p]

[h2]RUN A CREW[/h2]

[p]Start a crew with your friends, or hire recruits at a Clubhouse, arm them, and give them jobs: guard the base, farm, mine, cook, smelt, hustle, or repair your walls and cars. Build your crew's rep, fill the crew treasury, take turf, and raid the people who raided you. Other players are the most dangerous thing on the island. So are you.[/p]

[h2]DA BRICK PHONE APP[/h2]

[p]Pair Da BRICK on your phone with your game or your server and keep an eye on things when you are not playing: the live map, your crew, your security cameras, your messages, the server's news, and a raid alarm that wakes your phone when someone hits your base.[/p]

[h2]COMPETE[/h2]

[p]Leaderboards for cash, kills, hunting, fishing, cars stolen, longest life and turfs taken, for players and crews, this wipe and all time: in the game, on boards around the city, posted to Discord every day, and on . And 41 Steam achievements to earn along the way.[/p]

[h2]ON THE ROADMAP[/h2][p]This is Early Access. These are the plans for what comes next (not things in the build today), and the order is decided by what players ask for:[/p][list][*][b]Something to spend a fortune on.[/b] Property and businesses to own[*][b]More of the city.[/b] More places to go into, more jobs, more to steal[*][b]Server tools[/b] for people who run their own servers: wipes, rules and admin controls[*][b]Steam Workshop[/b], so modders can keep it alive[/list]
