We have an IndieGoGo campaign coming up September 1st to help continue development and finish the game. You can Like BIONITE's Facebook page if you want and get the Multiplayer game free, when it's finished. If you have any questions about the game, I'd be glad to answer them for you. :)

We will have a new trailer, screenshots and a lot more to show everyone September 1st.

Platoon Studios sent over a press release unveiling a new IndieGoGo campaign for BIONITE: Origins, a futuristic, first-person shooter and real-time strategy hybrid for the PC and iOS platforms. The core gameplay consists of piloting hovertanks in first-person, destroying other tanks or structures, commanding your squad to attack/defend certain targets, and a full strategy mode with base-building in the Strat game-mode.
Powered by Unreal 3 Engine, BIONITE: Origins will be released digitally through Steam and other distribution sites.

BIONITE: Origins is a reinvented genre - eFPS, or "extended FPS". A hover-tank video game created by hybridizing two of the world'smost populargaming genres - First-Person Shooter & Real-Time Strategy.

We are reinventing the FPS/RTS game genre and creating a newgaming experience in the video game world. The concept is to reintroduce the FPS/RTS genre in a more simplified & refined fashion to reach out to a wider audience, while still staying true to the hardcore FPS/RTS gamers.

To do this, we have to maintain a perfect balance of first-person shooter with a simplified real-time strategy HUD, so that any gamer can pick this game up and not have assteep of a learning curve as previous illustrations in this genre.

BIONITE: Origins will be release on Steam for the PC, but the possibilities could be endless with the Game on other platforms.

Here is a demonstration of the upcoming App we're going to have. Still much more work to do--that is why this is for demonstration purposes. Still some minor design work left too that I have to finish tonight. :cool:

Just to give the guys who don't want to or can't go on our facebook page or twitter (which is tempoarilry down)--I'm going to show everyone some of the hard work that's already been put into this game by a very passionate team. We started a content countdown over on facebook leading to a surprise we have for everyone. Also, we want to make this game about the public. We're really confident in our game so we're going to be having public betas that people will be able to sign up for on our website--which is due to come out soon as well and help us build this game too.We like to think of this game as a community game.

Anyways, enough talking.
