Otherness! - 6DOF Arena Multiplayer FPS

Otherness is a project Cody Morgan (famous for Questica) and I started in January. We’ve been working hard crushing bugs and fleshing out the details so I feel it’s time to start a thread for it!

The game in a sentence takes gameplay inspiration from many games. The best way to describe it is Halo’s Custom Games + Doom’s Pace + GMod’s Customization. This is what we’ve been preparing for and are striving to hit!

Art in the game is centered around maps and packs. Packs define the game’s look with textures, models, and other assets while Maps define the battlefield.

Gamemodes will vary from a simple game of Soccer to MLG Team Deathmatch, each with their own optional items, sounds, and looks. Currently the game has Death Match and Team Death match, but 3 more fundamental game mechanics are planned to be implemented before alpha (Including infection, assault, and King of the Hill style custom games).

Anyway here’s some screenshots of what we have done so far
