Ultima Online: Stygian Abyss

2009-09-08T11:05:00.000-07:00

An entrance to the Stygian Abyss has been discovered upon the world of Sosaria, hidden in the seething caldera of a newly-risen volcano. At first glance nothing more than a colossal web of dank caverns and oppressive dungeons, it houses an ancient temple that acts as a barrier between the worlds of Sosaria and Ter Mur, home to the Gargoyles. Masters of Imbuing and Mysticism, these clawed and winged creatures find themselves forced to delve into the ancient secrets of the Abyss, and venture forth into the strange lands beyond. This is their last hope, for the very existence of their world is at stake...

Darkest of Days

2009-09-08T11:00:00.000-07:00

In Darkest of Days, the action begins with the player being ripped from his period in time by a mysterious organization moments before his grisly death. In order to ensure the future of mankind, he is then tasked with the mission to travel back and forth through time – to famous, turning-point battle campaigns in world history – acting as the organization’s agent in a larger, seemingly otherworldly, battle between good and evil.

Using a combination of both futuristic and historical weapons, players will be immersed in a world where in one instant they will be fighting against the Huns in World War I and the next find themselves battling at Antietam in the U.S. Civil War. A variety of combat missions, such as stealth, artillery assaults, and sniper attacks will keep players on their toes through dozens of levels spread out over five historical time periods – all while discovering the secrets of the mysterious organization for which they have been working. Fighting on one side of the action, then sometimes coming back to fix mistakes on the opposing side gives the player a chance to experience conflicts from both sides.

Section 8

2009-09-04T03:04:00.000-07:00

On the war-torn planets of tomorrow, mankind's greatest battle is about to begin. With its frontier colonies devastated by a growing insurrection, Earth dispatches the elite 8th Armored Infantry (nicknamed "Section 8™") to repel the coming onslaught.

The nickname refers to an old United States military regulation where a soldier would be dismissed from service through being mentally unfit for duty. The near-suicidal missions that this division volunteers for brands them as insane by other military units.

Section 8 deploys by 'burning in' from their orbital drop ships tens of thousands of feet above the battlefield, utilizing the most advanced arsenal of military hardware known to man. Their mission: to scout and secure difficult objectives and smash enemy defenses in lightning-quick assaults.

An intense first-person shooter, Section 8 allows players to dynamically alter the flow of combat as they see fit. Employing tactical assets and on-demand vehicle deliveries, players are given unprecedented strategic control over epic sci-fi battlefields.

All Aspect Warfare

2009-09-01T09:16:00.000-07:00

An elite strike team – with a thermo-nuclear weapon. Stranded. On a hostile and near desolate planet. Left for dead. What else could possibly go wrong?

The Terrans had been at war with the Gammulan race for years. In an attempt to change the tide of war and take the battle to the enemy, Galactic Command, the Terran military body, launched an all out attack on the Gammulan homeworlds of Gamma-1 and Gamma-2.

Deployed in a distant hostile territory on the other side of the known galaxy, GALCOM forces were met with repeated defeat and unprecedented losses. GALCOM deployed another fleet along with a decoy, the GCV-Excalibur, carrying a devastating orbit to surface weapon. The R.A.N.D.O.M (Random Access Nuclear Destruction of Obsolete Matter) weapon, otherwise known as the “planet killer”. A weapon which had only been used once before.

After an intense battle, a badly damaged GCV-Excalibur managed to slip through the Gammulan defenses and attempted to land on the nearby Gammulan planet of LV-115. Engaged by undetected planet based Surface To Orbit weaponry, the all but destroyed craft crash landed on the hostile planet. But not before deploying the devastating weapon.

Badly damaged, ninety percent crew loss and with the R.A.N.D.O.M weapon deployed and ticking, the intense planetside battles that ensue tell the story of a surviving group of four combat veterans stuck on a hostile planet, believed dead, hunted by the enemy and in a race against time to either locate and disarm the weapon or get off the planet before it detonates. Problem is, the only way off the planet is through an overwhelming enemy force.

Massive. Open World. Mayhem.
Several first person character classes with various strengths, weaknesses and restrictions.
Over twenty-four first person weapons of varying types which range from pistols and sniper rifles to machine guns, rocket launchers and various grenades.
Various advanced first person inventory items such as cloaking devices, shield enhancements, sensor jammers etc as well as various deployable assets such as gun and rocket turrets.
Ability to build various in game units such as vehicles, fighters etc based on Experience Points, rank and other factors.

Gamers are free to play any aspect based on their strengths. Not a first/third person shooter fan and prefer the exhilaration of aerial combat? Then take on various aerial sorties including escort, SAD, SEAD and CAP missions while supporting ground troops. Not an air combat jock but prefer the immediate threatening presence of hand-held weapons of mass destruction? Then you’ll feel right at home with various weapons and toys including jetpacks, target laser designators (so your air combat friends can easily id targets) etc.
Full squad command of NPC team members with an intuitive orders interface system.
Engaging campaign storyline switches player from one character class to the next as the story moves forward. e.g. carry out a mission as a marine to destroy a hostile surface to air site so that in the next mission, as a combat pilot you can then engage the primary target without being shot down.

Comprehensive in-game tutorial teaches various aspects of infantry weaponry as well as use of vehicles, gunships and fighters.

Raven Squad: Operation Hidden Dagger

2009-09-01T09:08:00.000-07:00

"It happened two years after the collapse of the financial markets. Our world changed. While the more advanced countries managed to handle the situation, life in third world countries became even harder, even more unsafe. Local warlords built up their own little "kingdoms" and fought against each other for what they thought valuable, while the governments tried in vain to stabilize these conflicts. Brazil was an exception. There were signs of warlords building up their strength in the deep Amazonian jungle, but the country at large lived in relative peace. One day, however, a plane crashed in Amazonas State, and we were called in to rescue the survivors and find some precious data, which in the wrong hands, could become extremely perilous to national security. We were mercenaries, and the NSA offered good money, so we accepted the job. We shouldn't have."

The game's story follows the path of a mercenary unit sent to the Amazonian jungle. They were sent there to complete another mission (finding a missing plane a retrieve a valuable package from it), but their plane is getting shot down by enemy troops. Some of their comrades are dead and most of their supplies are gone, but they have to find a way out from the jungle alive. A young archeologist locates them and manages to persuade them to rescue her. From here on the mercenaries fight their way through Juarez's soldiers toward the archeologist, who is the only hope for them to escape. On their way, they find themselves in situations where they help the inhabitants and the loyal government military and, with their actions, they change the outcome of the civil war. For more detailed information, see the storyline appendix of the design document. The Game World: Setting The story takes place in the last month of 2011. The world is recovering from a large scale economical crisis. The crisis made life in the third world countries even harder, and much more unsafe. In South America, huge territories are under the control of local warlords and guerilla organizations. They built their own "kingdom" in these places, and the government has little or no power in these separated areas.

Brazil was an exception until now, its political integrity remained fairly strong, but there are several organizations and individuals in the background who want to change that.

The location is the Amazonian rainforest in the Brazilian state: Amazonas. The area is far from civilization and seldom populated. Most of the population is concentrated in the city of Manaus hundreds of miles east of the game area. The local civilization lives mostly near the rivers and on the few plantations. These plantations generate most of the state's income and their owners are considered the most powerful men in the state, and in the country. Technically they control the state together with some local warlords. They are not only growing coffee however. Some of them make a living from selling arms to the guerillas in Colombia and Peru, while others are growing coca leaves to produce cocaine or destroying the rainforest and selling the valuable trees.

One of the most powerful plantation owners in the area is Juan Pablo Juarez. In the civilized world he is a recognized and trusted businessman and a well known and generous patron of ancient native arts and archeology. In reality the source of his fortune is the huge amount of weapons he sold to the guerillas and tons of arts illegally smuggled out of the country.

He built an impressive satellite system near his hacienda where he employs skilled archeologists to look for ruins hidden deep in the jungle. The construction of the satellite control complex was big news even in the foreign media as it was said to be the newest and best archeological research center.

But in reality, the complex's real objective is to support Juarez's plan to create his own country in Amazonas. There are state-of-the art satellite, communication and radar jamming equipment in the complex, which can render every such system above the state useless. He also created a whole army of soldiers trained and supervised by experienced foreign mercenaries. He also created a hot situation in the state, which he could make even hotter and create a civil war, and as its leader, create an independent country in Brazil. To make it easier, he bought some leaders of the military and allied with several warlords.

Not long before he initiates the civil war he employs a young female archeologist to the satellite archeologist team. Not long after began working, the archeologist discovered that the satellite system has hidden abilities, and there are strange things happening in the area. She thought about resigning from the job and leaving the country but she thought that Juarez won't let her. She decided not to say anything and find a way to escapee. It is not an easy task however: the satellite control center is surrounded by the jungle and Juarez's soldiers. Even if she somehow manages to escape from the facility, she would die in the jungle long before she can reach the civilization.
