WEEK 5 PROMPT:  "COLONIALISM"

FOCUS:  Strip down the sandbox survival genre and subvert it

Two Sides of the Same Isle is an attempt to strip down the core mechanics from sandbox survival / colonization genres and expose the repercussions of player actions as they relate to the exploration of a foreign land. For every colonist there is one native who must survive off the land whose resources have been depleted from the invader.  This prototype explores that concept by having the player take on the role of an explorer trying to "survive" off the land; however, once the isle is no longer needed by the explorer, the player then takes on the role of a native inhabitant who must then attempt to survive off what remains.
