Amalgamation is a multiplayer spaceship shooter where a group of 2-8 players battle each other in asteroid cavern networks, randomly generated from various hand crafted chambers and tunnels, in rounds of roughly 10 minutes.


The game is set inside an asteroid, in an old forsaken colony. The various caverns of the asteroid, laid out in a network like structure, each hold their own unique story and culture which influence their design and atmosphere; from moody prison dungeons to weird alien ruins. The design of the machines and structures that inhabits this world are heavily inspired by the dieselpunk genre, art deco design style, mixed with various classic sci-fi elements and environments, and something that just might be a hint of surrealism.

Our goal with this game is to create something unique that mixes competition with creativity.

Build

Each spaceship sports a series of connection points and can be built upon using special modules that can be found throughout the world, or shot off and stolen from other players. Each module grants some kind of feature to the ship, whether it be greater firepower, boost in defense or speed or extra connection points for further expansion.


Steal

The players can use weapon modules to shoot away modules from other players’ ships and steal them, thus robbing them of not only the module and its features, but also some of the score it would have given to the player at the end of the game. These desirable ship modules will also spawn all around the level, giving rise to action filled dog fights.


Hoard

Victory during a round can be asserted by collecting and using as many modules as possible and preventing your opponents from doing the same. The player with the most modules collected at the end, most opponents shot and/or with the most modules used throughout the entire round wins the game.

Today we released a demonstration video explaining various gameplay elements in Amalgamation. We also released a trailer video showcasing a multiplayer match with seven players.

Without further ado, here's the demonstration video:


So, as you can see, there are quite a lot of interesting elements to keep track of while playing. With the previous demonstration fresh in your memory, the scenes in the following video might be a tad easier to comprehend. ;)

Seeing that they're early in development it's probably just intermediate work on the weaponry.
