Conscript Game Revival

[Cvoxalury]

After a 9-year hiatus, the fan game Conscript is being brought back to life by the original developer.



Lead developer Biodude posted a new media update talking about new plans, content development, PSP build and change of focus for the project.

Conscript is still being developed by a small team on the FTEQW engine (a feature-rich modded version of QuakeWorld). The game supports better quality models with skeletal animations, hi-res textures, and better effects.



Originally, Сonscript was being developed for PSP, but now the PC version is the main focus.  The old PSP developer build should be released soon, for preservation.

The game will have several separate episodes with its own conscript protagonist in each. The gameplay is fast-paced, reminiscent of Quake itself. The arsenal will include Pipe Wrench, USP Match and Desert Eagle, AR2 (OICW), Immolator, Displacer Cannon, Cremator Head grenade, Tau Cannon, and more.

The new content shows updated Combine units (Trench Cops and Overwatch snipers), the Alien Assassin, Citizens, Bullsquids, and Scanners. Promotional media includes high quality renders, and the showcase teaser has many glimpses of other enemies, weapons and mechanics.

Conscript at its core is a Quake 1 Mod, running on an advanced modified quake 1 engine (FTEQW).
The game went through several transitions on different engines in the past, and now we're back to where we began and sticking to it.

Thanks Cvoxalury for posting this here! Glad to be back
