# 🐘 ELJ Arena: Battle of the Tusks

> *A prequel to City of Brains. A spectacle for the masses. A meat grinder for the unlucky.*

## 🎪 Welcome to the Greatest Show Before the End![alt text](elj_arena_cityofbrains_BETA_access_2025.07.30-21.13.39.png)

Months before the outbreak, the region’s biggest attraction wasn’t a concert—it was carnage on four tusks. ELJ Arena, built in the chemical-drenched shadows of the mountains, offered “family-friendly” entertainment with just a hint of irreversible trauma.

Now, you can ride the line between glory and processing in *Battle of the Tusks*—a 3v3v3 elephant-mounted multiplayer battleground where each team is a trio of specialists riding a single elephant into chaos.

## ⚔ Pick Your Role. Ride or Die.

Players form three-person teams atop war elephants, each member taking on a distinct role: the fearless Mahout (driver), the agile Howdah Warrior (combat specialist), and the all-seeing Luminary (tactical commander). Victory means fame, fortune, and maybe a hot meal. Defeat? Don’t ask what’s in the concession stand...

Every team needs a:

### 🐘 Mahout (The Driver)

Steers the elephant, controls charges and dashes, and can go anywhere on the map—immune to ground damage.

### 🏹 Howdah Warrior (The Fighter)

Grabs victory points, boards enemy elephants, and fights with a mix of ranged and melee weapons. Vulnerable on the ground—agility is survival.

### 🧠 Luminary (The Commander)

Sees from above with a top-down view, commands team strategies, drops AOE attacks, and keeps the squad alive with buffs and heals.

Each role plays totally different. Each has a voice, a view, and a reason to panic.

![Take a break from the city](elj_arena_cityofbrains_BETA_access_2025.07.30-21.02.43.png)

## 💀 This Isn’t Just a Game. It’s a Grinder.

On the surface, it’s all neon lights and animal-themed merch.

Look closer.

- Meat trucks leave every night.
- Grandma Liu’s kebabs never quite taste the same.
- The stables echo with elephant cries that sound... off.

There’s something glowing in the waste barrels, and it’s not love.

![More than meats the eye](elj_arena_cityofbrains_BETA_access_2025.07.30-21.13.40.png)

## A Spectacle Built on Secrets

The arena's dazzling glow masks something darker. Street vendors sling mystery meat with suspicious enthusiasm. Old champions hobble past on crutches, muttering about “retirement.” The green glow in the elephants' eyes? Totally normal.

![WafflesWafflesEverywhere](elj_arena_cityofbrains_BETA_access_2025.07.30-21.03.40.png)

Explore the concourse between matches: grab tactical waffles from WWE (Waffles Waffles Everywhere), test illegal sonic weapons disguised as guitars, or chat with nervous janitors who know *way* too much about what's under the arena. Victory points earn glory. Coconuts revive your team. Everything else... gets recycled.

### Teaser Quotes from the Arena:

**Jumbo Jack, DealMart Vendor**
![JumboJacks DealMart](elj_arena_cityofbrains_BETA_access_2025.07.30-21.01.13.png)

> Step right up, future champion! Jumbo Juice or escape map—your choice! Just don’t ask what’s glowing in the stables. 😅

**Grandma Liu, Kiwk Kebab Matron**

> Today's meat is REAL goat. Yesterday's losers? That’s someone else’s problem. 🤫

**The Ringmaster, Arena Overseer**

> Our retirement program is industry-leading. Competitors go out on top... or at least in one piece. 😏

## Gameplay at a Glance

- ⚔ **Three Roles, One Elephant:** Every team needs a Mahout to steer, a Howdah to fight, and a Luminary to command.
- 🎯 **Victory Points Decide the Match:** Grab objectives, survive, and outwit rival teams across dynamic 3v3v3 arenas.
- 🐘 **Coconuts Revive Elephants:** Use them wisely... or turn them in for more firepower.
![Arena Grandstands](elj_arena_cityofbrains_BETA_access_2025.07.30-20.58.10.png)
- 🔥 **Arena Zones Include:**
  - Flex Appeal Gym (training + addiction!)
  - MegaSports Gift Shop (rigged odds, rigged merch)
  - VIP Lounge (rewards for winners… and subtle foreshadowing)
  - Food Court Buff Zones (consume with caution)

## 🎮 How to Win (Or At Least Not Get Processed)

You don’t need the most kills to win a match. Victory is earned in multiple ways:

- 🏆 **Victory Point Collectibles**: Spawn around the map—some only visible to Luminaries.
- 📦 **Cargo Raids**: Destroy enemy elephant cargo to weaken their team’s standing.
- 🧠 **Survival Bonus**: Stay alive longer than the others, and the crowd loves you more.
- 🎯 **Objective Control**: Seize control points in unique battle zones (The Ruins, Jungle Circuit, Desert Fortress).

Killing’s great, sure. But the best teams out-strategize, not just out-slaughter.

---

## 🧃 Coconuts, Contracts, and Consequences

You start each match with a **coconut**—it’s your team’s one shot at reviving your elephant. Use it wisely... or trade it for firepower.

And don’t get too attached to that shiny new weapon you just bought from HuntingZone.
![RetroVibes at HuntingZone](elj_arena_cityofbrains_BETA_access_2025.07.30-20.55.04.png)

> If you die, you drop everything.
> If another team loots your stuff? It’s theirs now.
> 💼 **Inventory is persistent**—until it’s stolen.

---

## 🛠️ Built for the Hardcore. Balanced for the Insane.

ELJ Arena was built from the circuit board up in **UEFN**, with a custom-designed inventory and currency system. Every item you purchase, every buff you apply, and every victory you earn is tracked.

> Lose a match? You lose the loot.
> Win a round? Your base gets new gear.
> Trade your coconut for a bonus slot? Hope you don't need it later.

ELJ Arena – Battle of the Tusks


## 🎬 Welcome to the End of the World (As We Kinda Know It)

You’re a teenager from a quiet town with one goal: get to the city concert before the eclipse ends. Instead, you’ll uncover a secret sauce-fueled apocalypse, sneak through faction turf wars, and maybe find your missing dog.

![Nothing to worry about](cityofbrains_alpha_HighresScreenshot_2024.10.21-07.47.34.png)

Welcome to **City of Brains – The Outbreak Begins**, a stylized multiplayer survival adventure where 90s nostalgia meets neon horror. What starts as a quirky coming-of-age story turns into a full-blown outbreak — and you're at the heart of it.


---

## 🏡 Chapter 0 – Prologue: Suburbia Isn’t Safe

The game begins in your small hometown — seemingly untouched by chaos. Pools glow slightly green, payphones buzz with strange static, and your parents are just... gone.

Your goal? Do a few odd jobs, save up some Gold, and catch the **last bus to the concert** downtown. You can go solo, or link up with friends. The path to Central Nervous Park is open — if you survive the tunnel.

---

## 🎪 Chapter 1 – TotalDarkness at Central Nervous Park

The concert kicks off. Lights, fireworks, footlongs — and a rare lunar eclipse. Unfortunately, those “Joust Dogs” sold by vendors? They're made from processed ELJ Arena losers. Mix that with **Double Dip Dog Sauce**, and you've got a recipe for disaster.

As the blood moon rises, the crowd turns green, groans... and goes for your brain.

![City of Brains Waiting to be explored](cityofbrains_alpha_ScreenShot00037.png)
---

## 🧠 Chapter 2 – There’s Something in the Dip

You wake up trapped in the city. Roads are blocked, corpses don’t stay down, and rumors swirl about factions forming on the fringes. It’s time to find allies, fortify a safe zone, and figure out just how bad this outbreak’s going to get.

This is where **true survival begins**.

---

## 👥 Play How You Want

City of Brains supports multiple styles of play:

- 🤝 **Co-Op** – Team up with friends (best in groups of 3, like ELJ, but no hard cap)
- 🧟‍♂️ **PvE** – Explore at your own pace, face NPC zombies and city events
- 💀 **PvP** – Fight other survivors for loot, zones, or just because

You can travel together to the concert, split off to search for Sparky, or go full lone wolf.

---

## 🧭 Chapter-Based Release Timeline (Alpha)

- ✅ **Prologue** – Suburban jobs + bus to city
- ✅ **Chapter 1** – The outbreak begins at the concert
- 🛠️ **Chapter 2** – Survival systems, factions, and loot loops
- 🔒 **Future Chapters** – Full map unlocks, faction wars, endgame chaos

Everything you do carries over. Dead civilians stay dead. Zombies remember.

---

## 🏙 Factions of the Apocalypse

Each city district is controlled by one major faction — pick one, or navigate the chaos alone:

- **🐻 Team Bear – Northside Tech Bros**  
  Crypto-pilled drone operators with flamethrowers.

- **🐙 The Krakens – Westside Trailer Parks**  
  Outlaw engineers and swamp bombers with hot tempers.

- **🐉 The Dragons – Eastside Influencers**  
  Weaponized glam and weaponized gossip.

- **🦩 The Flamingos – Southside Factories**  
  Fashion-forward, factory-tough — they know the streets.

Joining one grants storage access, perks, and safe passage. Betraying one? Good luck.

---

## 💾 Save Smart, Or Die Trying

- 🔐 Save manually at beds, tents, or faction shelters
- 💸 Bank Gold at **BrainBank ATMs**
- 🧳 Store gear in team caches or personal stashes
- 💀 Die with valuables = they’re lootable by others
![This Underpass looks like a great place to save and sleep](cityofbrains_alpha_savepoint_2025.04.14-14.25.55.png)
---

## 🐕 Sparky: Good Boy. Great Companion.

Complete the flyer side quest to reunite with your dog, **Sparky**:

- Sniffs out buried loot  
- Alerts you to infected threats  
- Unlocks hidden events and side missions  
- Can bark, distract, or even fight if leveled up

He might just save your life. Or help you uncover the truth.

---

## 🎮 Core Gameplay Loop

- Explore abandoned rooftops, arcades, parking garages
- Level up your real-world skills: Plumber, Electrician, Mechanic
- Rebuild vehicles, generators, or blocked paths
- Interact with NPCs who remember your choices
- Escape via the Battle Bus... if it still runs

---

## 🌕 What Comes After the Show?

This isn’t just zombie waves. It’s:

- Environmental storytelling  
- Reactive factions  
- Persistent decisions  
- A corrupted system trying to clean itself… violently

And it all began with a hot dog.

---

## 🧪 ELJ Arena – The Prequel Drops First

Before the concert, there were elephants.  
**ELJ Arena** (launching next month) reveals how the “Joust Dogs” were made — and who didn’t make it out of the ring.

![ELJ Arena - Opens Labor Day 2025](elj_arena_prequel_2025.03.25-web.png)

Ride the bus or walk the tunnel.  
Save Sparky… or become someone else’s undead sidekick.

The world’s ending, but you’ve got options.  
Let’s see how you handle the sauce.

City of Brains – The Outbreak Begins

## Welcome to the End of the World (As We Know It)

In City of Brains, players step into the sneakers of a teenager whose concert plans go horrifically wrong when the zombie apocalypse crashes the party. Set in a vibrant metropolis where the dead are rising and the living are trying their best to keep their heads (literally), this multiplayer experience combines dark humor with survival horror in a way that will keep players coming back for seconds... and thirds... and brains.



## A Living City (Before it Wasn't)

Our world pulses with life through the voices of countless NPCs, each with their own story to tell before everything goes sideways. From the sassy barista who's seen it all to the street vendor who might just save your life with that hot dog, every character adds depth to our urban apocalypse.

### Sample Character Vignettes:

**Coffee Shop Barista - "Perky's Place"**

> "Hun, I can make your drink so strong it'll wake the dead... Oh wait, too soon?"

**Street Vendor - "Hot Dog Harry"**

> "These wieners are so good, they're to die for! *nervous laugh* I really need to work on my timing..."

**Gym Rat Outside Fitness Center**

> "Bro, I'm telling you, these gains are apocalypse-proof. Zombies can't bite through these guns!"

![A quiet city night](cityofbrains_alpha_HighresScreenshot_2025.04.14-14.06.26.png)

## Background Ambiance & City Chatter

Our city breathes through carefully crafted ambient dialogue that brings the pre-apocalyptic world to life:

- "No, Mom, I won't be late for dinner... unless the world ends or something!"
- "Did you see that guy stumbling around? Must've had a rough night at Toxic Tuesdays..."
- "I swear, these dating apps are full of nothing but braindead... Oh god, they're actually braindead!"

## Key Features

- Dynamic NPC interactions that evolve as the zombie outbreak progresses
- Rich character backstories that unfold through environmental storytelling
- Voice-acted dialogue powered by ElevenLabs AI, delivering emotional performances that range from humorous to horrifying
- Mature themes and clever wordplay that keep the tone playful yet edgy

## The Perfect Storm

City of Brains captures that precious moment when normal life transforms into chaos, when a teenager's biggest worry shifts from "Will I make it to the concert?" to "Will I make it, period?" It's a story about growing up fast when the world goes down slow, told through the eyes of characters who keep their sense of humor even as they lose their sense of security.

![Will prayer save you](cityofbrains_alpha_HighresScreenshot_2024.11.04-18.40.55.png)

## Join the Apocalypse

Ready to experience the end of the world from a fresh perspective? City of Brains awaits, where every NPC has a story, every corner holds a surprise, and every zombie was someone's barista just five minutes ago.
