In this article I will tell a little more details about the project codenamed The Island. The genre of the project is 3D action adventure with open world. I put the main emphasis on the realism of the environment and the behavior of game characters. The game will be interesting to players of GTA-like games and appreciating the exploration of the game world, a variety of game situations, super-realism in the environment and the living world. Events take place in a modern city on an island in the Pacific Ocean.

Protagonist
The protagonist is a young boy, 17 years old, who comes with his family to the city on the island where the game will take place.
He will have to find friends and a girl and explore his new habitat. Not everyone will be thrilled with the newcomer, so there are those who will want to show the protagonist his place.
