A Zymotic site has been added.

The site just gives some basic infomation on the project. I also updated the Alientrap main site.

I know that this thread is old now but I gotta say.. I for one love single player games, especially if the story is amazing. If you really think about it, playing multiplayer games all the time is not that fun. I love stories, big deep stories like Far Cry, Ground Control 2, Freelancer. And I hope the story for Zymotic will be just as good when it comes into the light.

And then, multiplayer based on the story would be nice, something like Aliens vs Predator.. there's a little story behind it though not much.

I love multi-player co-op games. When my friend and I tried out Return to Castle Wolfenstein, we were excited about the game play, but we were really disappointed that there was not a co-op storyline option. It would've been so cool to be able to work as a team to accomplish a goal, similar to CTF but much more indepth.

I have been a linux gamer for a long time now - and though I have found some pretty darn good open-source RPG's and RTS's - I am an all out First-person shooter. And there is just far too many multiplayer-only games out there -(AlienArena, Nexuiz, Enemy-territory, Americas Army, Quake3, Unreal Tounament francheise, etc....) It is time for a resolution. I have been playing quake4 for linux for a while now and it it beutiifull... but when I go online it is brutally disappointing - its like I am walking back into the quake3 servers with a graphics upgrade?! Halo for xbox did something revolutionary - CO-OP mode, I am not sure if they were the first. But it seems to be the best example I know of. Anyway, An online-team based single player game for Linux will certainly set a new standard for first-person shooters for the linux community. And even the commercail games are all going multiplayer now - (UT2007, ET:QW, BF2142) I just want to get that origional halo feel again. I loved it so much I played muliplayer for hours anyway. Just my two cents...

Quake1/2 already had a coop mode.. in fact quite a few of those old games did have it. Its just way harder to do in modern games as its hard to script all the events so its working right for two or more players. Thats kind of a shame but it would be much more cool if Zymotic manages to do better

How about the origional Unreal? Unreal Gold.

No idea.. i never really played Unreal

Unreal came out after Quake 2.

Also, if you want early multiplayer coop in FPSes, you gotta go for Doom.
