Hey everyone.

Check it out in the downloads section.

The more feedback on performance/bugs etc., the better.

Koth Demo out for Windows and Mac!

DALO — 2008-04-27T06:46:08+00:00

Hello Everyone.

Go to the quickly assembled version of our website, www.chaoticstudios.com, to
download the Koth demo. It's available in Mac and Windows versions.

We'd appreciate comments in this blog post on how it runs or any bugs/crashes you encounter.
The more details about the settings or circumstances of a crash and the more comp specs you
provide the better. We're trying to get a good idea of how it performs on a wide variety of
computers.

*There is a known bug related either to the Invisibility coin or the AI (we're not sure)
that will cause the game to crash.

**There is also an OpenGL issue with the fading in and out of objects w/ transparent textures.
If you see white appearing around orbs or other objects when they fade in or out, we know
about it already and are looking for a solution.

We really hope you enjoy the demo, and look forward to your feedback. :)

More Koth Gameplay Vids

Hey guys.

Thanks for all the great feedback we've been getting. We really appreciate it. :)

Here are some more gameplay videos from Chaotic Studios Inc.'s upcoming first title Koth. Again, no sound and not the best quality (these are from the same batch of captured videos as the other ones). The first batch were from the 'Spirit' Transcendence mode, but this group of videos depict the 'Time' Transcendence mode, in which the player moves through 5 realms representing the progression from the ancient pre-inhabited world to the dark synthetic future. Enjoy.

Some Koth Gameplay Videos

Hey Guys.

Here are some gameplay videos from Chaotic Studios Inc.'s upcoming first title Koth. Sorry about the poor quality. Our videos were only 400x300 when we captured them, and YouTube isn't the greatest. Also there's no sound in these videos, but I assure you that the sounds and music are great!

Anyways, at least these give you a feel for how the game moves and plays. Enjoy. :)

Hello fellow Torque users and indie developers.

Our team has been developing a game using TGE for the past 18 months for our recently founded indie developer Chaotic Studios Inc. Currently we are in the final testing and tweaking stages of our game and the demo should be out very shortly. It is a 3d multiplayer 3rd-person shooter (with single player capability as well) called Koth. It is a game in which the goal of the players is to move through five realms of existence and transcend the cycle of death and rebirth by killing their opponents with a variety of unique magical orbs and absorbing their spirit energy.

The game is somewhat dark and surreal, borrowing heavily from Mesoamerican and Eastern mythologies
and art, while injecting it with a unique creative sensibility inspired by people like Tim Burton and the primitivist art movements. The game play and name of the game are basically abstractions of the popular style of first-person shooter game play called "King of the Hill" (KoTH for short) in which the goal is to hold one's position on the top of a hill without being knocked off or killed by opponents.

Below are some screenshots from ShowTool and in-game. Hope you enjoy them. :)

Here are the models of the three playable characters: Coa, Cacu, and Ozo.

This is the model of the bot character, called a Spectre.

This is a screenshot of the main game menu.

Here are screenshots of the five realms in the Transcendence 'Spirit' mode:
The Abyss, the Wasteland, Limbo, the Sacred Plateau, and the Celestial Temple.
There is also a Transcendence 'Time' mode with five other realms which will be
in the full version, as well as four unique Arena levels for those of you who
just want to play death matches.
