Dystopia is a is a total conversion of the Source Engine that places players into tense combat situations in a high-tech world spanned by computer networks. As Punks or Corporate Mercenaries, players will fight through the physical world to gain access, via Jack-in Points, to cyberspace. Cyberspace is a three dimensonal representation of the world's network. In cyberspace, players must fight off enemy hackers and launch programs to gain control of critical systems and to affect the physical world. Gameplay progresses through inter-linked physical and cyberspace objectives, and players must work together to achieve victory for their team. Players will be immersed in action-packed battles, whether as a heavily augmented combat mercenary armed to the teeth with the latest in firepower and cybernetic implants, or as a twitch-reflex cyberdecker racing to infiltrate a cyberspace node.

By far the most common question Team Dystopia has recieved during development has been; "when's Dystopia coming out?" Right up until today the answer has always been "when it's done". Well, the last week of testing has made the team very confident that the Dystopia demo is indeed done.

We are aiming to release the demo before 11:59pm GMT on 9th of September 2005.

Here's a few time zone conversions:

23:59:00 Friday September 9, 2005 in GMT converts to:

It's been an incredible 2 years since the Dystopia project was kicked off and as you can imagine everyone who's played a part is extremely eager to see what the gaming public's reaction is to it. You can help us out by spreading word about the imminent release, especially to server admins.

We'll be spending the next week continuing to heavily test the release candidate, finishing off the new player guide and organising mirrors for the demo installer. If you know anyone who can help out with a mirror, please have them email me on mirror@dystopia-game.com

Be sure to join us in our IRC channel leading up to release: #dystopia on the irc.ausirc.com network.
