::::NEW VERSION EDIT:::::
I posted about this new game in the soldat thread.. but it was suggested that it deserves its own one.. so let me introduce to you a game many of you will no doubt enjoy.. Subvein! Yay, hooray!
Subvein is an online action game that's been in development for over a year now and has only just been publicly released. This is your chance to be at the very foundation of a new game and community, where your personal input can change any aspect of the game. I have already made a few suggestions on the forums and seen them realized in subsequent versions. Most of you know how hard it is to find cool casual games where you enjoy the rivalry and get caught up in the passion, Subvein is a game that does exactly that.
Subvein is a top down shooter just like CS2D. Each player plays as a mutant. He has the opportunity to join the Scientists(Yellow), Rebels(Purple) or go solo as a Mercenary (Dark Red). The player earns cash, experience and reputation. Cash is gained through killing. You get extra for kill streaks and also through completing missions (deal 300hp worth of pistol damage, knife 4 people in a row, etc..). Cash allows the buying of weapons and vehicles. Experience is gained through killing pure and simple, the higher the level of the opponent killed, the more experience gained. When a new level is reached a skill point is given and the player can invest that into a wide variety of skills (Invisibility, Regeneration, Bullet Time, etc..). Finally, you can earn respect for your team, which unlocks new and powerful vehicles, more missions and special team-based abilities.
In terms of game play think of GTA2, a game that was absolutely fantastic to lan play. Now imagine GTA2 with an evolved weapon and physics system that incorporates cursor aim and smooth strafe movement. The game also adds a whole new dimension by involving a leveling system that unlocks skills that evolve the game play strategy to all new heights. Weapon and skill combinations are endless and become even more crucial in team play, making this game not only rely on instinct and reflex but also the strategic foresight and brain power to know how to evolve your skill set in certain situations. When thinking of the skill set it is best to think of games like Deus Ex, as both active and passive skill can be acquired.
Subvein is a new and exciting game that I am positive a lot of you will enjoy. Try this game, and support this new game designer who has put a lot of time and effort into something which he hopes you will enjoy as much as he does. It's great that guys like him and DC are prepared to put out quality games for us and not ask for any money in return.
Thanks for your time guys. I really enjoy this new game and hope that some of you do too. The more players, the better!
Please feel free to leave comments here if you have it or have tried it. And if you do like it, let people know, pass on the word.
