Awards - "2009 Make Something Unreal Contest" [Best FPS Mod Phase 4 Honorable Mention]

Version 102 (75.3 MB)

MOD Description - Reaper's Curse can be described as a two phase game type. In the first phase, all players are in a "every man for himself" deathmatch. The first player to attain 10 kills initiates phase two and becomes the "Reaper". Everyone else is forced into teaming up and hunt down the Reaper. If they are able to stop the Reaper from surviving the 60 seconds then phase one returns and the race to 10 kills continues. If the Reaper survives the "Reaper's Curse" then he scores one game point. It takes a normal match 5 game points to win a match.

Reaper's Curse with Relics builds on top of the existing gametype with strategical elements. This time through the weapons are randomly spawned & the armor, special powerups have been removed. In their place, 5 new Relics are thrown into the mix. Four of the five Relics give you a significant advantage as you collect your 10 kills & also helps you survive longer in Reaper's Curse senario. The final Relic by itself serves as a double damage or couples with other Relics to enhance the effectiveness of their functions. Each Relic posseses great strenghts & weaknesses which can, and should be exploited. :-)

Version 1.01 (stand alone game) (15.7 MB)

MOD Description - SliderZ is a stand alone puzzle game built with the Unreal Engine 2 Runtime based on the minigame found in Capcom's Onimusha 2. It has a full 3 tier unlocking game system with a puzzle randomizer & original sounds. We never really gave this project the polish it could use but it served its purpose as an R&D project to explore the functionality of the Unreal GUI alone.

[2003] Conquest

MOD Platform - Unreal Tournament 2003 then converted to 2004

Credits - Joe Andronyk (scripting/concept) & Jeff Plamondon (art/concept)

Version 318 (16.8 MB)

MOD Description - Conquest is a mountain fortress custom map with a few additional features. We added a four barrel shotgun called the "Quadros" and a new 50 health pickup item. We also added three new speciality items called health chargers. They come in three variations; Flak, Rocket, & Sniper. Once you've picked up a health charger, you get a HUD icon which displays the remaining healing amount from which ever health charger you have. If you take damage from that weapon, you will be healed instead and you will glow blue temperarily. That is a clear indication for other players to switch weapons unless you are inclined to signing your own death warrent.
