12" Productions proudly peresents: "What if Meteors Prevail"

With so many cookie cutter, realism CS clones flooding the modding scene, 12” productions has decided to break away from the tried and tested and take a gamble at something different and unique.

“What if Meteors Prevail?” is a sci-fi based first person shooter that combines elements of a horror survival game and a team based multiplayer experience.

While it has some similarities to other games in the FPS category it is aimed to be an innovative take on the genre. 12” productions hopes to bring players into the world of W-I-M-P and create an exciting and memorable experience through refined gameplay in great contrast to today’s one dimensional twitch fests.




Setting

In the far reaches of space, a lone prison station lingers among fields of asteroids. This is the Deep Space Authority Penal Colony K4N545, reserved for the most violent and hardened criminals. As part of their punishment the prisoners endure forced labor working in all aspects of mining, processing, and storing the asteroids around them. With the resources obtained from their labor, the station is able to sustain itself without any government support.


Story

W-I-M-P will follow the experiences of the Aggression Rangers as they try to salvage their penal colony while fighting the unworldly horrors brought on board by an unusual meteor storm.


Gameplay

The basic gameplay driving the What if Meteors Prevail is a struggle between two sides.

The Marines - A contingent of Aggression Rangers placed on the station as an additional security measure. Awakened from their deep freeze only to find the station near total destruction. Their main objective is to repair the most critical systems of the facility. (These missions will be randomly picked out of a possible 20+ giving the players a almost limitless combination to play with. Thus assuring that each game of W-I-M-P will in fact be totally and unquestionably unique.)

The Monsters - Grotesque creatures (straight out of the cheesy 50’s sci-fi movies) subject to the mysterious meteor. Their only objective is to protect the meteor from the invading marine team and that means only one thing; kill the marines before they can accomplish their objectives.

Zombies - A subclass of the monsters, and the weakest of the three. They are there to act as cannon fodder for the marines and as a way for all dead players to remain in game.( all dead players can assume control of zombies.)


Features:

  • Two radically unique sides - Experience the game as either the team oriented Aggression Ranger or one of the lone-wolf Monsters, each providing drastically unique gameplay.

  • You know them and you love them! – The monster team is composed of some of the most recognizable 50’s sci-fi creatures including but not limited to:

    • The Zombie – Might be stiff, might be dumb, but he wants your CHOPS, and he wants them now!

    • The ROBOT – not your everyday kitchen appliance, this one is armed with two supercharged plasma cannons and hes tired of taking out your trash.

    • The Insect – Daddy-Longlegs? Lest just say that you're going to need a bit more than just a broom!
    • And many more to come…

  • Life after death – Who said its all has to end when you pass on? In W-I-M-P dead players can be just as important as those left alive.

  • Single player – A full seperate experience that will act as a prequel to the multiplayer component.

Hey, I was just asking. I was calm, just curious. See, your post, I can tell you're not serious, Captain's post on the other hand, I'm still not sure if he was serious or not. Your post though, nice sarcasm throughout ;)

So does this game play a bit like survivor in Aliens vs Predator, where when one member of a team is killed they become the other (except a zombie in this case?). Do zombies attack everyone or just marines or ?

o_O Not sure how this works from your description really.

Yes, exactly like that, each time a marine is killed and left untreated by his teammates he joins the monster team, he can than inform his new teammates (the mosters) of the the marines plans, he can obviously attack the marines on his own and has the ability to command other zombies (create ambushes and such).

Firse slasher, well kinda hars i suppose, but infact what you said is basically the theme we are trying to achieve, if you read the description closely you will surely notice that its says 50's cheezy sci-fi. I chose this theme because i think the whole modern thing is a bit overdone.
