Hey everyone, thought I’d share what I’ve been working on in s&box.
It’s called Aether Island Duel, a first person shooter set on floating islands with stone ruins. It started as a sniper duel project and has since grown into a 3v3 game focused on attacking and defending flags.
The objective is simple. Reach the enemy base and hold the capture area for five seconds without getting killed or stepping out. First team to three captures wins, with quick respawns so you can get back into the fight.
Everyone spawns with a knife, Glock, MP5, M700 and mines. There’s room to hang back with the sniper, push through the ruins with the MP5, or leave a few surprises for anyone coming after your flag.
You can play solo with bots or create a room for up to six players, filling any empty spots with bots. I wanted it to be something you could jump into even without a full group.
I’ve also been putting time into the atmosphere, especially the wet stone, lighting and clouds around the islands. Still a work in progress, but I wanted to share where it’s at.
Would love to hear what you think, especially about the map and the move to team matches.
