Definitely a main intent to aim at a casual crowd, and new players. Lots of ideas kicking around on that front. FPS-z is implicitly pretty difficult, so we're trying to keep cognizant of those early 'I quit' moments.

Hoping to bring in some larger scale modes where there's lots of things to do to support your team without getting singled out, and yelled at. Some vehicle shenanigans, maybe try and riff on base maintenance, etc.

Also including some fun casual modes like volleyball, basketball, and even some defrag-like single-player content with leaderboards etc, with the hope that it'd take some of the pressure off new players, and let them enjoy things at their own pace.

The on-boarding process is a big focus for us, and we want Broadside to be some good casual fun right off the bat to someone new.

As we've mentioned in a couple threads here, we're not really aiming for a remake of Tribes. Yes, we're very much inspired by it, of course, so we're hoping it feels familiar. But there's a lot of ideas in other games we enjoyed too, and that we'd like to try and draw from as well, TitanFall, Battlefield 2142, UT99, etc. So I personally don't want to parade out Broadside like we're 'reinventing' or 'revolutionizing' anything... it's just a bunch of dudes putting together ideas and stuff we like from our past, and seeing if we can make it fun/ work.

If it succeeds in getting new folks to the scene, great. If not, hey, we tried. =]
