APG is an FPS focusing on simplicity of function and complexity of interaction. APG has a fair Free-To-Play model that gives all accounts the same gameplay options.
We are making this game because we want to improve the FPS genre and we want your help.
The areas that APG is focused on include:
1. Multitude of ways to play
We empower you to control your own objectives through the challenge system. Create more unique game play through tons of asymmetrical accessories, weapons, and weapon mods. Highly customizable loadout options.
2. Strategic Decision Making
We employ lots of risk-reward mechanics such as capturing: gain an enemies bounty and destroy their market access and weapons. Take on someones challenge; first to the objective wins. Spend credits on getting the best of items and placing bounties on enemies, or save in case you need to refill and heal.
3. Development with Player Engagement
Most of our player engagement mechanics are still in development. However, we currently have an external voting system to allow players to influence development choices.
At the end of the day, we're trying to make a really fun FPS that pushes the boundaries. We hope you join us and help improve this genre together.
