The Ship : An interesting use of Valve's source engine

[datter]

I just happened across this and thought I'd share it here since it sounds like a rather neat idea. Second post on B3D... hi all.

The Ship is a unique multiplayer PC game developed by Outerlight Ltd., created using Valve's Source engine. Set on a luxury 1920's replica cruise ship built by Mr X, this devilish game challenges you to kill or be killed. Once you're on board you're given the name of another passenger whom you must find and secretly murder.

Watch out for security unless you want to do some time in jail and keep looking over your shoulder because somewhere out there is another hunter looking for you!

sounds interesting.

so i suppose you'd have to acquire intel (passenger registry, etc) to find your target, then ID them, track them, do the job?

as opposed to running around the ship looking at head tags (ala battlefield 1942)

I'd hope it would be like that, rather than just everyone running around like lunatics trying to kill each other. If that's all they do then you've basically got Doom/Quake/etcetc on a ship. :)

If you are interested, you can always check out the original HL version of the game.

When I first read about it I thought lame. Now that it sounds like they will charge you for the pleasure :p Well whatever to each their own.
