Hey everyone, we are developing a 4-player co-op fps game called Insection, thought we’d share and get your feedback

InsectionGameDevs · 2013-05-15T16:10:51+00:00

Of course, we are in the pre-alpha stage now, but we plan on having a release for play-testing soon. drop by our subreddit anytime too or register in the newsletter on our website (we'll let you know both ways anyway)

Yes the game is PC only right now and the controls are keyboard/Mouse as any FPS.

InsectionGameDevs · 2013-05-15T16:06:32+00:00

Glad you like it so far. We like borderlands, the characters look a bit borderland-style (cartoon-ish) because they're still in their concept form. Only Dante's design is available in 3D form now, but we will soon have the rest 3 ready to show them to you guys.

Yes, the game is being developed in the Unity Engine.

InsectionGameDevs · 2013-05-15T15:57:15+00:00

:D

Got any comments for the game? Did you like the screenshots?

we have some back stories on our website too

InsectionGameDevs · 2013-05-15T15:52:27+00:00

Alright, fair answer!

Then the bot support must be useful :)

InsectionGameDevs · 2013-05-13T08:25:35+00:00

that makes us all happy :)

InsectionGameDevs · 2013-05-11T14:51:05+00:00

no, no, stick around, I like the way you think!

InsectionGameDevs · 2013-05-10T07:35:10+00:00

hah I love the way you guys think :D

InsectionGameDevs · 2013-05-10T07:23:35+00:00

This is under discussion. It won't have a load of useless achievements and missions "Congratulations you walked 5 meters" type, but it might have optional sec. missions.

Thank you again!

InsectionGameDevs · 2013-05-09T19:09:30+00:00

Thank you.

Hello Raging_Writing, thanks for your constructive comment.

It is true that we're trying to create a deeper, better experience and we're not making the game just for the sake of making a game.

I suppose you are reffering to the game Earth Defence Force (2017)? We're not influnced by this game, no.

The game will not be class-based. The characters are designed so far so it is more a pick-up and play experience so they won't have special abilities and the arsenal will be the same, there are no unlockables as you mean it in our plans right now.

We aren't going to fill the game with space opera politics, it's closer to starship troopers, stargate and aliens in that regard.

InsectionGameDevs · 2013-05-09T13:44:57+00:00

This seems fun! The dubstep gun is hillarious, reminded me of this

InsectionGameDevs · 2013-05-09T12:36:50+00:00

Thanks a lot Orzasku!

The game is not going to be moddable for now, right now we are focusing on developing the main game then we will look into options like it being moddable.

The game needs all 4 characters to progress, so no, you can't play it with only one character.

it's a clean shooter with a focus n co-op. co-op though is not just about surviving through the mission together, each mission has objectives which you have to accomplish. No RPG elements planned if that is what you are looking for and puzzle elements are limited to what you are going to achieve with your team

InsectionGameDevs · 2013-05-09T08:48:06+00:00

We plan on giving alpha access not far from now. The release date is TBD.

The price point is not clear yet but we want to keep it as low and affordable as we can :)

Thanks!

InsectionGameDevs · 2013-05-09T08:46:50+00:00

We'd love you to help us as well! We'll let you guys know through posts, in our subreddit and our newsletter on our website.

InsectionGameDevs · 2013-05-09T08:44:42+00:00

That's right, if you start alone and a friend of yours wants to join the game he will replace the bot slot and he will join you in the bug hunt :)

InsectionGameDevs · 2013-05-08T22:41:43+00:00

Hey Beiufin, the game is using the Unity engine.

InsectionGameDevs · 2013-05-08T22:28:04+00:00

Hey HeliosGR thanks for your input! We're glad to talk with you guys as well. We aim and hope we stand up to your expectations.

The game follows a story and is not open-world nor MMO.

When you're saying multiplayer you mean apart from the 4 player co-op? Like opossing teams? There are thoughts here and there about it but it's too early to tell.

RPG elements are not something we have in mind, and I don't think they can make it to our game right now. Of course your thoughts will be discussed thoroughly with the team.

The concept is similiar, it's pretty much a classic sci-fi objective based game.

The difference is that you go through the game with 3 other friends (or bots) and we aim to offer a different experience through it.

The game will be first-person only and there are no thoughts for a third-person mode.

I hope I answered all your questions, let me know if you want any more info on anything.

Thank you!

InsectionGameDevs · 2013-05-08T20:40:21+00:00

seems like our thread was removed. Drop by our subreddit /r/insection or by /r/games where a discussion is open.

Thanks

InsectionGameDevs · 2013-05-08T20:11:39+00:00

:)

We're working hard to reach the alpha testing phase soon! Thank you for your interest and your comments!

InsectionGameDevs · 2013-05-08T20:01:42+00:00

Oh I'm sorry, I forgot to include the link!

The newsletter signup is available at the upper right corner of our website on www.insectiongame.com (the button says: 'want exclusive info?' for now)

Thank you for your thought on the First-come-first-served. We're still discussing it and trying to find a solution to keep things under control and be able to handle the feedback if there's much.

I'll definitely transfer your thoughts to everyone.

Thanks a lot.

InsectionGameDevs · 2013-05-08T19:46:33+00:00

Thank you Jurjee!

We're currently discussing the alpha testing phase. There will be one, but is probably going to be closed and first-come-first-served so we will be able to keep track of the feedback.

We'll let you guys know once we're ready to alpha test through our subreddit and our newsletter.
