About this game
Open Mod is an entirely free to play, niche, tactical, extreme hardcore first person shooter with immersive aspects that may not have been seen before. Open Mod offers a big set of features unseen in any other fps game, and overall, combined with aspects that can be found in other fps games, provides a unique and unprecedented first person experience. Open Mod is being brought to you by only 2 developers with a great passion for FPS games. Open Mod is not a complete game but more of a demonstration of what only 2 developers could do with no decent budget, just a big passion and crazy ideas! Instead of asking you to pre-order or sell you deceptive videos of our progress, we've developed this game on the go, while being public Early Access, so you could actually download and play with the features we are showing you, instead of having to just watch them on social media. In short, we at Hyper Gamey Studio came with this game upfront and proved to you, the player, what we could achieve and that we are capable of creating an unprecedented first person shooter, even with a low budget, and we are inviting you to imagine what we could achieve together, with your financial support! The gameplay should be on point. This game is addressed to players that like immersive tactical, extreme-hardcore, round-based no-respawning competitive game modes and want to get immersed fully into the battle. Our primary focus is on the Defusal (Demolition) game mode, since it's a 'standard' competitive esport game mode and we, among other objectives, want to become an esport. But our approach to it is rather harder than traditional Defusal game modes, the player has to enter a planting/defusing code manually using the numpad keys after memorizing it during the round. This, combined with the aspects of our gameplay that will be mentioned below, we believe make for an unique immersive fps tactical experience that has a real chance of becoming something. However, we've recently added casual PvP game modes such as Domination but made it in our own way, using the tablet to hack objectives, TDM and DM along with a PvE Zombie Wave survival game mode and a PvE Extraction style game mode with cosmetics looting so that our players can have fun on various levels, not only competitive. We recommend watching the entire Open Mod #3 Devlog to see details about the defusal game mode, domination and the zombie wave survival game mode. Link to it HERE Core features of Open Mod: - There is no in-game HUD, we've moved everything except the crosshair to a tablet that is a core element of the game. The tablet will be used to check the minimap, text chat, see equipped loadout, see objectives etc. There is much to say about it but to save you the reading of a lot of words you can simply check THIS short video which shows an overview of the tablet. - There is proximity voice chat and an animated radio voice chat that players can use to communicate. But with caution as the enemy could hear you talking if you are in their range. So when the player is in enemy area they can use the Left hand animations to communicate or the text chat from the tablet. Those mentioned features of the gameplay have been showed more in-depth in Open Mod #2 Devlog HERE - There is no scoreboard or killfeed during the round, only at the end of a round and at the end of the game. This should cause the players to get immersed into the battle and communicate via radio when they took somebody down, since there would be no other way of knowing how many enemies are alive unless the player calls it out via radio. There is also no hitmarker on HUD or hitmarker sound so you wont really know if you hit the opponent, enhancing the realism of the battle, - Our new mag system was rewritten from the ground, the player can carry only 4 mags per weapon, we've added a mag check system and animations and a reload type that keeps the mag so you can use it later, that takes slightly more time to perform. To save you the reading of a lot of words you can simply check THIS short video out, which shows you an analysis of how the new mag system, mag check and reload keep mag works. - There is a decent Tarkov-like weapon customization system as well as some cursed attachment setups available for you to play with. - We've recently implemented the attachment skin system which allows the players to equip a different skin for any part of the weapon or match the attachment skin with the gun skin. This new system is presented in Open Mod #3 Devlog from our youtube channel HERE, timestamp included. Please check it out to see more. There is also THIS, shorter video which shows how the inventory works. Later edit: there are 2 additional systems for the weapon customization system: -custom local skin system, unprecedented in any fps game, this system allows you to load textures in the game by URL for any weapon and any attachment! Video HERE -attachment moving on rail system, this should make our customization menu complete! There is freedom to do anything now! Video HERE - There are quite a few first person experience customizing options, such as the custom weapon positioning, custom and independent fields of views, dual render and non dual render scopes, preference options such as "should sprint override aim", minimap being static or follow the player and many more preference/personalization options to get the best skill out of you! - There is also the ability to pick from a variety of weapon animations, such as reloads/draw/inspect. There are not too many weapons that have more than one reload/draw/inspect animation currently, but some do, such as the AKM, Scar or the pistols. There will be many more added in time. To learn how to switch your weapon animations watch this video HERE, timestamp included. - There are 12 slots where you can equip left hand signal animations. You can either toggle them by the F keys (F1, F2, F3 etc) or by holding the middle mouse button to select from the wheel, then…
