sWARm

Unreal Tournament 3 mod |

What is the game? The game’s title is sWARm and its core mechanics are built around the Real Time Strategy genre. It’s currently in design for the PC with future platforms including the Playstation 3. The total conversion is being developed using the unreal engine 3.0 for the www.makesomethingunreal.com competition. Where does the game take place? The Total conversion takes place on Earth, mostly. What is the idea behind the story? The story revolves around three races; Humans; Altorians and the SOT’s (Sons of the Terrimbiots). The game has a massive back story but the TC’s focus is on a central war with the humans on the back foot trying to move salvaged material around a partially destroyed city. The player will take the role of all three races though, with it progressing from one hero to another. What do I control? In the TC you control all three races. Each one will have strengths and weaknesses.

Post news Report RSS New sWARm Content

I am happy to announce new sWARm art content has been under development for the past few months, including characters (announced and unannounced), Vehicles, Weapons and of course special effects. We are also constantly working on the codes which totally convert UT3 into our new games type and the game play codes within the two new yet to be released single player maps. Multiplayer functionality is still yet to be implemented but we hope not to disappoint this phase with a massive release!
