Maze Slaughter - roguelike FPS from ex-Piranha Bytes devs

[toro]

I guess the competent guys from Piranha Bytes decided to try gamedev on their own

God this looks awful. They should have never left the PB mothership.

30 second gameplay without sound

They already have an inside connection. The UI designer is a former Epic Games employee

I found an executive summary detailing their budget and monetization plans. Microtransactions are confirmed.

Imagine investing 2 million into what looks like a cheap unity asset flip roguelite

The graphics are obviously pre-alpha. Sascha Heinrichs is a very talented 3D designer that teaches professionally in colleges, so I can't imagine the final product looking anything like this.

Maze Slaughter is developed in Unreal Engine 4 by the way, not Unity.

Fuck Twitch integration.

 

[Carls Barkley]

Huge improvements to the graphics

There's also an optional Doom mode in the settings

The developers reaffirmed they would take EGS exclusivity if offered.
