Description
Project Cybertronic is a zero gravity 3rd Person Sci-Fi online multiplayer shooter in the style of a battle arena game.
History
2014 - The Beginning.
Started as a solo study project, Cybertronic is still being continued by the founder Anton aka Spyjack, due to a lot of positive feedback. With the help of friends and without much financial help, Cybertronic is a kind of community development.
2017 - First Crowdfounding Campaign and still motivated.
To bring Cybertronic as a more serious Project, we decided to do our very first Crowdfounding Campaign on IndieGogo. We knew if it failed we would generate at least a higher puplic range. In the end it was not financialy successful.
After the campaign, a simple transition for Project Cybertronic from the abolished Steam Greenlight in to the current Steam Direct was given by Valve itself. But due private situation Anton decided to make a project break for undefined time.
2018 - Second Crowdfounding and a new Course.
To get more attention through Crowdfounding, we decided to do it on the big one, Kickstarter. The most of the content we had already and it was easier to start it this time. It failed anyways, but it was still good for Cybertronic to have more people know about it.
2019 - Early Access and a new Foundation.
Because it was still possible to publish Project Cybertronic on Steam without any fee, we did just did it to expand our public range. From then on it´s available now.
The foundation of the Game was built on a rather non-scalable basis, Project Cybertronic had to be rebuilded from scratch.
2020 - The new Game and his updates.
Due to the easier update functions on other plattforms, the new Version was also released on Itch.io, since then it has been getting new updates all the time. But not on Steam.
2021 - Bigger course.
After developing the new foundation, we saw the potential to take Cybertronic in an even bigger and more attractive direction.Now there are spaceships that can be controlled. You can walk now inside and outside of spaceships, asteroids or similar moving physical objects with the magnetboots. Large battleships are equipped with automatic turrets that can be controlled individually. Instead of one big hitbox for spaceships, there are many small, so it's possible to blast your way into the inside and reach their weak spots.
2022 - Life Mission.
To work on Project Cybertonic is still being irregularly. It´s still a passion project. A release of a finished version on Steam or other platforms can only be roughly estimated, according to the current circumstances probably in the year 2040.
