ORION:Prelude Developer Using KickStarter to Fund Completion
ORION: Prelude is a fast-paced Sci-Fi First-Person Shooter. It features a retro-vibe, addictive gameplay and insanely awesome features such as jetpacks, dinosaurs and vehicular combat.
ORION: Prelude pays homage to other classics they grew up on that entertained us as gamers and inspired us as developers. You will see insipiration from classics such as:
- -Unreal Tournament (’99)
- -Quake 2 CTF
- -Starsiege: Tribes
- -Counter-Strike
The developer has taken those elements and put them into a blender and mixed in their own unique takes and twists in the design and mechanics department. With only a first glance at ORION: Prelude, you will know that this is a game being made by gamers.
ORION: Prelude is currently targeted for release on STEAM, Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network.
It looks to be an ambitious project for a first attempt.
Kickstarter is powered by a unique all-or-nothing funding method where projects must be fully-funded or no money changes hands. This means that we need to at least hit our pledged amount ($10,000) in order to receive any funds. We are of course looking (and crossing our fingers) to blow past that amount, as it is an absolute minimum.
What makes ORION unique?
- Awesome back story - over 12,000 years of already developed lore for the ORION universe.
- Dinosaurs (and Pterosaurs) done right. Few games have had them - and none have done them right. We are here to remedy that.
- Retro inspired. We give you tons of customization and options - ranging from servers, to controls, to player options.
- Free DLC. Do you know who thought of charging $15 for 4 maps? I would like to kick them in the nuts.
- Longterm Support. We will have weekly “Play With Dev” matches. Here developers, fans and gamers can all play games together. We will play all sorts of games with you guys - in fact, right now StarCraft 2 is the fan favorite. If you own it - we’d love to play with you.
- Art and color. Some of you may not appreciate this, but for those that do - you probably have noticed how grey and brown the games have become lately. We wish to destroy this notion by infusing ORION with tons and tons of color.
If you want to stomp on your opponents with some more fire power - we’ve thrown in some vehicles. We’ve goth everything with a wing or a wheel. Most of the vehicles offer at least two spots inside to encourage team work.
What vehicle types are in the game?
- Buggies
- Mechs
- Hovercraft
- Jets
