A testbed shooter built for networking
FPS Game: Dev Test is a first person shooter made from development assets, intended to test and showcase networking features and other advanced Steam systems. It is functioning and playable, but it is a development project first: it will change fairly regularly, with new mechanics, testable features, more game modes and different weapon systems added over time. Expect a moving target rather than a finished, polished product.
Playing with your group
The game is set up for multiplayer PvP combat. Online sessions currently run on a listen server, which suits a small private game with your friends. You can create a session for your group, or use the server browser to find and join games with other players. Bots can be added to multiplayer matches, and you can also play single player against bots.
Classes, loadouts and modes
Before spawning, the loadout screen lets you pick a Class, Primary Weapon, Secondary Weapon, Perk and Grenade type. The class system is basic and gives you a skill based on the class selected, such as an Ammo box, health box or explosives box. Weapon types on offer include Assault Rifle, Shotgun, Machine Gun, Sniper, SMG and Pistols.
Game modes currently include Capture the Flag, Team Death Match, Free For All, Confirmed Kill and Conquest/Domination, with more planned as development continues.
