Project Nyx is an experimental sci-fi multiplayer shooter that merges frenzied ground combat and chaotic zero-G space battles into one seamless experience. Warp reality. Defy gravity. Push the limits.
## About This Game
Project Nyx aims to offer shooter fans something a little different. Dash
between fast-paced ground combat and frantic zero-G space battles as you blast
your way through diverse environments and game modes. Master the different
classes, each with their own unique gadgets, abilities, and playstyles, and
grow your reputation from space pleb to galactic celeb.
## Chaotic ground and zero-G gameplay
Experience unparalleled freedom as you fling yourself into space and engage in
frenzied zero-G dogfights, or come crashing back down to the ground to conquer
spaceships and special zones.
Become acquainted with Nyx’s out-of-this-world style by jumping into fan
favourite game modes such as Deathmatch, the zone conquest mode Control, and
high-octane Capture the Flag to prepare for our unique take on a Battle
Royale-style mode and further experimental additions.
## Play your way
Work together with friends to make stylish plays, stalk the battlefield as a
lone wolf, or sow chaos throughout the map using your wits. No matter the path
you choose, you will learn to revel in the insane moment-to-moment gameplay.
Switch between the various classes to find the one that resonates with your
preferred playstyle. Whether you’re the damage dealer, tank, assassin, melee
expert, agent of chaos, or support, you’ll find one that you love.
## This is just the beginning
Join the project’s development journey today as it evolves from a humble
prototype into the kind of game you won’t want to put down. The first couple
of milestones will see the introduction of a few basic game modes, the various
classes, and the backend systems that’ll run the whole show. Once we establish
the foundations, you can expect development to ramp up!
## A universe brimming with potential
Project Nyx has more depth than initially meets the eye! Rich worldbuilding
and tons of personality await. We’ll reveal more about the world as the game
develops!

## Classes
*It’s important to note that the information provided below is a conceptual overview of potential classes. They are yet to be fully implemented. Like all aspects of Nyx, classes are subject to change dramatically based on numerous factors, such as playtesting feedback, logistics, balance, and so on.
Hunter
You’re no stranger to battle. You know that fancy tricks and bulky armour mean
nothing to a well-placed bullet, especially if that bullet brings friends.
That’s why you lean on your collection of weaponry, trusty grappling hook, and
scanners to win the day. Good luck out there, space cowboy.
Survivor
When a job comes up, you always know exactly what to wear — enough armour to
put a dropship to shame. With the addition of a larger power cell, you can
shield a whole squad, charge around the battlefield with an ally on your back,
and easily become any foe’s biggest problem.
Explorer
Every squad needs an agent of chaos. Light armour doesn’t make you weak, it
creates opportunities. You rely on your speed and wits to outmanoeuvre or
outsmart opponents. Holograms, disruption tools, and hacking abilities give
you everything you need to make proper big-brain plays.
Assassin
Speed, agility, and precision are your tools of the trade. Intricate training
has forged you into an elegant weapon, striking foes with ruthless efficiency.
You’re more difficult to detect, which gives you time to stalk and pick off
weaker prey. Your energy bow, assorted arrow types, grappling hook, and
inherent mobility make you the ultimate predator.
## Future Classes
Marauder
Do you consider yourself a space viking? Marauders live for the thrill of
combat. You collect scars like they’re medals. You have a small personal
shield that can be thrown to assist allies or smash enemies in the face. Every
hit your shield takes empowers your abilities. Smash through enemy lines, soak
up damage, and expunge your collected power to wreak havoc.
Technician
You’re a tech wizard who knows a thing or two about medicine. When someone
takes a hit, you have the power to patch them up. Your multi-use drone can jet
around the battlefield assisting your squad, collecting pickups, and running
interference. Combining high mobility and nano-swarm healing abilities, you’ll
be the true hero behind any victory.
## Planned Features
* Seamless transitions between ground and space combat.
* Multiple classes with varying abilities, characteristics, and playstyles.
* Exciting game modes that offer unique twists on fan favourites and pave the way for numerous experimental additions.
* A universe brimming with personality, stories, and fascinating technology.
* Mod support (still in the planning stages, release date unknown).
