The Promised Eta Carina Leak

I promised to leak a bit of info about one of my projects, so here goes...

ETA Carina

is a game I am working on in the source engine. It will be a Sci-Fi FPS with some RPG and RTS components and an emphasis on Shipboarding and Planetfall actions. In addition the game will be vehicle heavy, where both sides will have access to tanks (not grav-tanks, more like the Landmaster from Star Fox Assault but with a railgun instead of a laser), fighters, everything up to light transport gunships. In order to balance this out there will also be areas where such vehicles can't be used.

I again won't give too much info, the game is still early in development (it's not even working yet, much less at a playable state), but I can tell you that the game will be competitive multiplayer campaign based, with the default campaign being the war for the Eta Carina, named after the star of the same name, Eta Carinae (Astronomical designation η Carinae HD 93308).

I won't release any more info unless I can be sure that it won't be stolen.

Definitely sounds interesting...looking forward to seeing some screenies.

As I said before, the game doesn't even run yet. That will take a while, and I believe this will be a long term project, like TF2 was for VALVe.

Sounds like a smoother version of Halo/Star Fox Assault. ME GUSTA.

Did either Halo or Star Fox Assault have a multi-player campaign mode where you could play on either side of the conflict? I can definitely answer no about Star Fox Assault.
