Null Grav is a modification of the Unreal Tournament 3 engine, and is loosely inspired by the book Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card. Null Grav features members of Mobile Armed Null-Grav Tactical Assault Corps, or M.A.N.T.A. Corps, an elite squad of soldiers that act as an orbital and sub-orbital police force similar to SWAT. Since its inception, MANTA Corps has neutralized countless terrorist situations, defused bombs, rescued hostages, and destroyed pirate and smuggler ships. When not out in the field, the soldiers of MANTA Corps spend their time training in a special zero-gravity chamber, located inside their space station headquarters, that gives Null Grav its name. This chamber is designed to train the soldiers for a variety of high-risk and dangerous missions that might involve space combat. To achieve this goal, the chamber is capable of being highly customizable, with the ability to swap out various structures inside the chamber to make for unique arena configurations.

A hello to the community, and a small status update on the project.

Hey ModDB!

Owen here, project lead for Null Grav. Just thought I'd give a shout out to the community!

We're getting really close to finished here. I'd say we're about 75% done. Our finish date is in February, so we're in crunch time now. The menus need about two more things tweaked before they're complete. Guns are mostly done. The major element left is the levels.

There's also a single player portion in the works. It may not be as fleshed out by February as the rest of it, but it's getting there. It will basically be the other half of our forthcoming intro video - where the video shows comparison shots between MANTA Corps training and actual combat, the multiplayer serves as the training aspect and the single-player will be actual combat. This may seem a little backwards, but the multiplayer focus is on user customization, as opposed to the typically static levels seen in other shooters.

Anyway, keep checking back - there's a lot more to come!
And have a happy holiday season!
