First Terra: Formations Screenshot from the UDK (Unreal Engine)
Description
Release date: Winter / Christmas 2013
Unique New First Person Shooter & Real-time Strategy Game

In Terra: Formations, players have the freedom to select their preferred style of game play, ranging from high action First Person Shooter (FPS) to more strategic Real-Time Strategy (RTS) in an online multiplayer team-based Solar System warzone. It’s the clash of the titans when it comes to game genres; FPS with RTS – all tied together in this awesome looking, fast-paced, action packed title. In short, Terra: Formations will appeal to every hardcore gamer!

In the future mankind has depleted most of the resources of planet earth with his lust for power, technological advancements and greed. Ironically, the very machines that played a role in mankind’s irrevocable position were the only chance of survival! After several years of uncertainty, hope was reborn with the efforts of the Global Military Alliance to terraform one of earth’s celestial neighbours, Jupiter’s moon called “Europa”. It wasn’t until the excavation of the satellite’s icy crust that mankind learned the truth; he was not alone.

As a player in Terra: Formations, you join the ranks of an elite military force with the objective of reshaping the environments of inhospitable worlds, experience the evolution of a developing planet, and take command to become humanities only hope for survival in an epic struggle for control of the solar system.

The key concepts of Terra can be summarized by the conflicting species, player classes, life forms, technology, locations, and gameplay that are designed to make a genre hybrid, player driven world possible.

  • Global online points & stats system

Learn More About the Game-Play

Terra: Formations puts you in the heat of the action of an First Person Shooter with everything you would expect but all within an Real-time Strategy game. The blending of genres is the most attractive to Terra: Formations and an experience unlike any other game, as we were the original concept of such a title dating back to early 2006.

First Person Shooter
Play the game in FPS Solider mode (default) with fast paced action in team base battles. Secure and build Generators to mark your progress to capture the enemy teams HQ. Use various high tech weapons, ground and air vechicles. Team tactics and strategy with other player classes will ensure your survival and winning chances.
You can pick different classes within FPS mode such as Researcher and Engineer. As Researcher you can discover new material resources for the Commander to mine and as Engineer you help extend the building bases with the Commander.

Real Time Strategy
As RTS Commander you can play the game just like any popular RTS style game-play. Use your Droids to garther resources, construct buildings to enhance weapons and technology. Get into the action with Droids to defend Generators built or attack the enermy. The Researcher & Engineer classes will help you source new materials to resource and construct extensions to your buildings. While there is one Commander, when more Generators are built then players can join as Sub-Commanders and play in full RTS mode assisting the main Commander.

Terra-Forming
Two Teams, up to Eight Teams will battle it out to control each multi-player map and to win you must capture the enemy HQ or terra-form the world around you. Build Generators on highlight team colored beams and capture your enemy Generators to advance forward. The Terra-Forming process will allow your team to not take any damage when outside of your atmospheres and new resources appear as the environment around changes which each Generator built.

There would be more support if you had even a small demo like even a character generation and or simple run around and shoot things environment. The proof is in the pudding as they say and people want to see a GUI and feel the physics.

There have been too many slick trailers that have realy weak games to back them up lately and peoples faith in new games is at an all time low. please please throw out a demo, and if your game is as sick as it looks then you will have all the support you crave.

I vote for games bringing something beautiful or new to either their Genre or the industry as a whole. From one dev to another, well done, keep up the good work.

Looks nice, and hopefully you can differ this game from others in the genre and make some cool and unique +1 :D

Skyliner01 Apr 7, 2013 @ 1:27pm

Thanks Skyliner01, we are not showing all the FPS / RTS parts yet of the multiplayer - it really kicks off in the coming months as we invite dozens of testers to jump into it as balance the gameplay of it. We don't want to create another cloned FPS or RTS, we want to give you an experience with this game you will not forget :)

I think its too ,,crazy,, and unrealistic maybe the multiplayer is better but in the trailers you cant see this

There are two HUD's, on for the FPS play and the other for the RTS play. Still working on upgrading the HUD's with new improvements & visual style

is it just me, or does it seem like the HUD display wcould possibly get in the way ocassionally?
