Let's face it, we've all been getting more and more tired of first-person-shooters, and with good reason; there hasn't been much real change over the past decade! Shooters have been getting better graphics, and occasionally a new feature or two, but it seems like everyone is neglecting everything else that makes a game fun.

Tell me about the game already!

RS Flux is here to change shooters forever. Too often I've seen people turning down the volume on their game, and then cranking their own music. When players get in this mode, you often see the music reflected in the game; the character's reticle bounces around to the beat, the weapon fire pulses along with the music, they weave in and out of hallways almost as if the music is controlling their moves, but more importantly you can see that the player is more immersed in the overall experience. Why should we have music separate from our games? Why should music games be about conforming to preset songs and tunes? Why can't we integrate music into the gameplay of shooters? Well I say we can, and that's exactly what I'm doing with RS Flux.

RS Flux combines the action-packed, fast paced, immersive gameplay of a First-Person-Shooter with the music and rhythm of a Music Game. In RS Flux, everything in the game has musical sound; weapons, actions, movements, enemies, objects, effects, scenery, and just about every last thing in the game has sound or melody that flows seamlessly with every other sound, making each and every minute of the game a unique musical experience. RS Flux is as much about playing an FPS as it is about creating and enjoying music. Musical experiences will vary based on playstyle, location, genre setting, enemies, weapon usage, and the level of action occurring around the player, so players will never be left experiencing the same tired music over and over.

While the campaign mode offers a beautiful plot and challenging bosses, multiplayer is where this game really gets interesting. In a multiplayer match, players might simply follow their objectives for a swift victory, or they might get more creative, and collaboratively make interesting music. RS Flux will feature the ability to record matches, then play them back in a number of ways, and even upload them to YouTube, allowing players to share their unique musical creations. RS Flux will also feature the ability for players to upload their own samples and make custom sound presets, for an entirely customizable experience.

RS Flux is already playable, but lacking a lot of art assets; a large majority of the funds we are asking for will be going towards paying artists for the assets we so desperately need! Since every person who pledges will get Beta access, you'll all get to play the game from the get-go and see all of our art as it gets implemented!

Where are the pledges going?

In short, to pay for art. Art doesn't come cheap, while we've had a lot of inquiries since the announcement of the project, very few have been okay with working for anything other than up-front compensation. Thankfully we've gotten two new artists since launching the kickstarter for RS Flux, but unfortunately we can't lower our goal once it's set.
