Sol Contingency - FPS Descent Clone (think Quake in a ship)

[hkopen]

it's finally almost here, the awesome 6DoF FPS...

...a PC game "Sol Contingency" out this weekend, and it's free

It's a game like Descent / Forsaken (think Doom in a spaceship)

Sweet. Is Sol Contingency the one with randomly generated levels? Because that would be a huge turn-off for me.

Hell no, all levels stay as is

The clips on youtube are from the closed beta running on Unreal Engine 3 (UE3). However, the devs have worked their asses off to port it to UE4.

Approx 4 years in development all in their spare time.


Here is the October 2015 full developer presentation of the game, note, this is the UE3 version of the game

Here's a screenshot from UE4 version, latest build:

Is Sol Contingency the one with randomly generated levels?

Nah, that's Sublevel Zero which was released a year ago.

Good, I prefer levels with more thought and care put into them. Will definitely check this out tomorrow.

Oh forgot to mention, the trailer is old, this game is being released in full on Friday (not closed beta).

This looks really cool! Never tried a 6DoF before, but it seems like something that would appeal to me.

Though it seems like this isn't a release of the full game, but rather a multiplayer only preview build; nothing wrong with that, but I'm not sure if I'm missing something here...

[hkopen]

This is the game as is so far in the development (it was closed beta before), the single player side will be worked on next. They need more resources really to proceed further (developers, modellers), hence they have released what they have done so far.

These guys have worked on this for free in their spare time, no funds have been used.


Here's some info from one of the developers themselves, a post from last year:
