UPDATE
The playtest has officially concluded, thanks to everyone who joined us! Remember, you can still try out the demo in the browser or locally on your computer yourself! Just check bots or create an Internet Game and blast away!
We'll also be addressing more bugs and issues found, which you can beta test live on the web port, but things have already improved greatly since the last test! See you this... Christmas perhaps?
Ahoy shipmates, and Happy Halloween!
We're sorry for the radio silence the past few months, after the wonderful playtest we had a lot of work to do, bug fixing, asset touches, engine fixes, etc. Not to mention we all manage a game studio, build our own SDK, and coupled with real life responsibilities... we needed a bit of a summer vacation.
Ivan shows off on the beach.
But we are not abandoning ship, don't worry, for today we have a surprise Treat for you all. For now, you can play Overturn in the browser! Yes you heard that right! No more fiddling around with binaries and patches, play the latest and greatest version with just one click!
Overturn's brand spanking new Frag-Net page!
But that's not all, our retro game service, Frag-Net, has recently announced it's Arcade, where you can play other mod classics in the browser for Free! In addition to Overturn launching on the Aracde today, we are also hosting a play session of the classic Zombie Panic! We have faithfully recreated it on our Nuclide SDK so you can see how simple it is to port a beloved mod. For example, most of ZP is just interpreted script files (decls) with some QC for the gamemode.
The event will be at 1 PM PST for Zombie Panic!
Overturn will launch later at 3 PM PST
We'll be keeping tabs (heh get it?) on both games and join you when we can.
Simply visit arcade.frag-net.com and click on Zombie Panic! or Overturn when they go live!
You can also go to bloodbathsoftware.com/overturn as well and click the "Play" tab if you want to just play Overturn.
Remember, you must be of 18 years of age to play.
One last thing, we want to reassure you that we will not stop releasing downloadable patches and builds, and we released a downloadable version of this web update so you can join us without a browser. And sometime soon, we'll release a big binary patch that should allow auto-downloading from within the game itself, so get psyched!
This patch requires the demo, just place "pak001.pk4" into your "overturn" folder and make sure it sits alongside "pak000.pk4". It's that simple!
If you want to talk to the developers or other members of the community, then visit us via Frag-Net:
