Greetings!
I’m thrilled to provide you with an exciting progress update on the development of my passion project: a first-person shooter (FPS) game inspired by the adrenaline-pumping action of different movement shooters.
A Vision Takes Flight
It all began with a spark of inspiration drawn from the fast-paced gameplay and innovative mechanics of Titanfall 2. Set in a futuristic world with ordinary soldiers thrust into extraordinary battles, our game combines the thrill of FPS combat with the freedom of movement granted by advanced technology. Picture this: jet packs propelling soldiers through the air, double jumps defying gravity, and wall runs adding verticality to the battlefield. This is the heart and soul of our game.
From Passion to Progress
What started as a passion project has blossomed into a fully-fledged endeavor, fueled by dedication and a love for immersive gaming experiences. Milestone after milestone, I’ve tackled challenges head-on, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in game development. One of the most formidable hurdles I faced was the implementation of multiplayer functionality using Photon. These issues really had made developing the game so far difficult, as it was a new challenge.
Mastering Movement
At the core of our game lies its unique movement mechanics. The jet pack empowers players to soar through the skies, granting unparalleled freedom of movement. Combine that with the ability to double jump and wall run, and you have a recipe for dynamic, adrenaline-fueled gameplay. Each leap, each dash, allows the player to get closer. Another big aspect was emphasizing the importance of actually using the jetpack. In playtesting players would often just camp on a building, not moving anywhere and sniping everyone. To fix this, more emphasis was placed on improving the close range weapons and melee, so players were punished for camping.
A Universe of Customization
I understand that no two players are alike, which is why we’ve placed a strong emphasis on weapon and character customization. Want to wield a plasma rifle with pinpoint accuracy? Or perhaps you prefer a shotgun for up-close engagements? With our extensive customization options, players can tailor their loadouts to suit their playstyle, ensuring every match feels uniquely their own.
Looking Ahead
As I march forward on this exhilarating journey, our sights are set on a monumental milestone: uploading our game to Steam by the end of the year. But the adventure doesn’t end there. I’m constantly striving to enhance the game, listening to feedback, and implementing new features to elevate the player experience. If you have any suggestions for any features, ideas please let me know!
Join the Adventure
To all those who have supported us along the way, whether through feedback, encouragement, or simply sharing in our excitement, I extend our heartfelt thanks. I invite you to continue following our progress, sharing in the excitement of each new breakthrough and triumph. Together, let’s embark on an unforgettable adventure through the stars.
Stay tuned for more updates, until next time!
Kind regards,
