Photo-main

A modern FPS set in photorealistic London locations such as Leicester Sq., Tower of London, Piccadilly Circus, London Eye, Westminster

Platforms: Windows, Linux, Apple Mac

Locations
The game is set in famous locations around London such as Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus, Tower of London, Trafalgar Square, Westminster, St. Paul’s and King’s Cross St. Pancras.

Game Modes
The game features an array of traditional FPS game modes such as Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture The Flag. The game also has innovative new modes such as Sniper vs Sniper, Sniper Team vs Sniper Team and Against All Odds.

One of the most exciting levels is the historic Tower of London which houses England’s Crown Jewels. In the game mode, Against All Odds, a small group will defend the tower against a much larger group consisting of dozens of players. The objective of the attacking group will be to steal the Crown Jewels.

The Tower of London map will be able to host up to 200 players simultaneously.

Game Release Model
The game will be released as individual episodes, each containing a unique location inside London. Based on player feedback, there will be regular weekly/monthly updates to all episodes including new weapons, playable characters and other game features.

Dedicated Servers
Windows and Linux-based dedicated servers will be available after the release of each episode.

Community Features
Blood Guts & Glory will offer players a comprehensive suite of community features including Lobby, Buddy Lists, Voice Chat and Global Leaderboards. The game will also be playable inside a browser via Facebook and Google+.

Game Status
Episode 1 is set in Leicester Square. It is nearing art complete status (see video). Game programming is in progress. The level art for other episodes such as Tower of London, Oxford Street and Westminster are also in progress.

Company Background
Candella Software Ltd has been developing and publishing videogames for more than 10 years. In the previous years, we have worked on PC, PS2, Xbox, PSP and Nintendo DS games. These games include AAA titles such as Juiced, and The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift. In recent years, Candella Software has directly published Pyroblazer (PC), Cargasm (iOS) and Alien Avenger (iOS).

Risk Analysis
Strengths
a) Candella Software Ltd has a proven track record in developing and delivering AAA games on multiple platforms including legacy platforms such as the NDS, PlayStation 2 and Xbox. All the key team members have over 10 years' experience in the games industry.

b) Blood Guts & Glory is already in production and is art complete for Episode 1. Multiple levels from the other episodes are also in production. The game programming is now in progress and the company expects to deliver Episode 1 on the PC on schedule.

Risks
a) Blood Guts & Glory is the first FPS being created by Candella Software. In the previous years, the company's expertise has been in racing games and this is the company's first foray into the FPS genre.

Mitigation: The game is already in production. As mentioned previously, Episode 1 art is complete and the game programming is already in progress.

b) Blood Guts & Glory is the first game being developed by Candella Software which has multiplayer combat. Although the rules of some multiplayer modes such as Deathmatch and Capture The Flag are well known, the game also features innovative new multiplayer modes such as Sniper vs Sniper and Team Sniper vs Team Sniper.

Mitigation: The game is designed from the outset to be released episodically. The release of each episode will be quickly followed every week/month by free updates which will include new game modes, game levels, weapons and bug fixes. Therefore, it is possible to spend the required amount of time fine tuning each game mode before release to the gamers.
