Nuclear Eclipse Online | N.E.O -- FPS

Project Description

Hello all, my name is Steve and I appreciate you taking the time to read about my project. This is my first co-developed title for my platform called Nuclear Eclipse Online also known as N.E.O that takes place in a world envisioned to be Fallout 3 meets Halo. NEO is a Free-to-Play Sci-fi shooter that has been in development for almost 2 years.

NEO is being developed by my team here in the US under the name Boiling Core Entertainment and an outsourcing company in Beijing China that also worked on titles like Halo 3. The team behind Boiling Core has years of experience making and playing online games, and this project is the culmination of lifetimes devoted to online gaming. Other than me on the US side the team works part-time, around other jobs and our outsourcing studios work on milestone payments & future royalties. Since I am self-funding this project this causes a lot of delays, bottlenecks, miscommunication and stress. And that’s what has brought me to GameLaunched.

So, where are we at? We have been working on NEO for awhile now and it’s almost ready. We are shooting for a closed beta in May. The internal tests have all been positive, but the game needs a lot more polish to the Western version before we are ready to open it up to players. We need to rethink some things and fix some bugs. One thing personally is the art direction as far as character models. The mutant zombies just aren’t mutant-y or zombie-y enough for my taste yet.

Main Features at Open Beta: With your support we will be able to go to open beta with NEO this Spring with the following features:

• 8-10 Game Maps, that includes
• 2-3 PvE mission maps.
• Game Modes; like King of the Hill, Killing Machine, Capture the Flag, Zombie Apocalypse, etc.
• 8 Sets of mixable equipment that includes
• 7 pieces each (Avatar customization) 5 different basic Avatars to customize
• 16 Weapons with 22 weapon modifications 3-5 Vehicles.
• Mutant Form:    Very Unique to N.E.O  is your Mutant form.   Players will be able to switch between their normal soldier form and mutant forms in battle.   Each form of the player is fully customizable.  You can have a sniper soldier and a melee mutant, or a Gatling gun mutant form with a Samaria sword wielding soldier form.

I wanted a map that can have air combat, but that might be a Stretch goal. The PvE missions are unique, in that they have multiple difficulty levels with different rewards for each run. The PvE missions can be done solo or with a team.

Funding Purpose

This will go to server cost, but mostly the additional customer support staff to do a final polish to the US version.
