It's like they made this into a game.

Incredible. Very techy, currently lacking in a cohesive design both visually and gameplay-wise, but that's alpha for you. High hopes, it's look incredible.

Elements of FPS, RTS, Minecraft, Day Z (multiplayer procedural survival and persistent characters) and still looks like it's own thing rather than a clone. Combining/ignoring genre. Wow.

Oh and the Free to Play this is a bad sign. Hopefully they mean expansions, and not DLC... eh, it's still a terrible idea. Let us buy your product.

I've tried and this game seriously needs some optimization. I can easily run a game like Hard Reset at max specs and res in a reasonable speed, but even at 800x600 and the lowest spec possible I get below 30fps. It's a nice concept and the game looks nice in max settings, but I hope they make it faster.
(oh, and the initial loading time is about a minute or two for me)

@mooosh on the same boat here.

I'll give my specs as well.

it appears to be using Crytek's engine, so yeah not surprised it's not going to run well on a lot of machines. probably not going to bother downloading it, Crysis 2 didn't run so well on my (quite old) pc.

looks nice though.

It was made in Unity, not CryEngine. (since the .exe icon is the Unity square and the options' popup is the one found in most Unity games)

So someone beat me to my dream game that I've wanted to make since I was in 7th grade. Not sure if I should be happy or sad

Also the fact this was made in Unity is awesome

My PC isn't a netbook imo (not high end, but it's not a netbook either). I just don't think there's anything on that game that should make my computer lag, specially when playing it at lowest specs possible and at 800x600.
