Hi everyone, I'm Oscar and have been working with my team on this game - sharing this in hopes that you'll play and share your thoughts!
In Project Genesis, space combat means simultaneously battling ships (in 3rd person) and close quarters (in 1st person).
We wanted to fly ships without missing out on action aboard. Something closer to the shooter genre than flight sims. So we discovered “Breach and Board” where you fire an “assault pod” into a capital ship or space station, sending the player from flight into FPS combat.
Game loop summary:
-
Elect spawn as character avatar (FPS) or warship (TPS)
-
Defend base structures or attack enemy defenses
-
Breach and board enemy strongholds
-
Clear objectives once onboard for victory
Still early in development but with more core systems in place, we just added:
-
Turrets aboard capital ships for player controlled defenses against combat ships
-
Three character-classes
-
New FPS weapons, throwables and a melee option
-
Multiple modes: “Dominion” where you hold objective locations and score according to time versus “Detonation” where you infiltrate and bomb a capital ship’s reactor room
Game development is hard. You know that! And when developing a multiplayer PVP, it’s equally challenging to find enough participants to playtest your work.
Thanks again for checking us out and especially thank you for playing our work. It’s why we do this. And building on player feedback drives us.
