We're not trying to "milk" our player base. We want to extend our deepest gratitude for participating in our early stages of development. Your time, feedback and support mean the WORLD to us. Really, thank you so much! About the team: We're a small indie dev team (100% gamers), aiming to develop a fun and competitive FPS game without useless and overwhelming mechanics like sliding while shooting and "abilities". We believe that a much simpler gameplay is the way to success, as games need to feel fun, enjoyable and not feel like another job unless you aim for that. We are currently developing the game in Unreal Engine 5, using both custom and paid customized frameworks to achieve our goals.
