About this project


Like Dinosaurs? Like Mechs? Like Jetpacks? Read on!


ORION: Prelude is a fast-paced Sci-Fi First-Person Shooter. It features a retro-vibe, addictive gameplay and insanely awesome features such as jetpacks, dinosaurs and vehicular combat.

ORION: Prelude pays homage to other classics that we grew up on that entertained us as gamers and inspired us as developers. You will see insipiration from classics such as:
-Unreal Tournament ('99)
-Quake 2 CTF
-Starsiege: Tribes
-Counter-Strike

We've taken those elements and put them into a blender and mixed in our own unique takes and twists in the design and mechanics department. With only a first glance at ORION: Prelude, you will know that this is a game being made by gamers.


ORION: Prelude will have a TON of content and a large feature set. We've stepped up on the technology front and ORION: Prelude will now be powered by the Unreal 3 technology. We have also announced that the first 3 packs of DLC for ORION: Prelude will be plentiful - and FREE!

SECURE KEY DEVELOPERS
Right now all of us are working for free and pouring as much time as we possibly can into the game. The funds received from this event will attribute in a variety of ways. Most importantly, it will lock and secure key developers to continue developing at the momentum we are. This will allow for more content, more polished builds, and a quicker release.

MULTIPLAYER BETA
The funds will also secure and lock the Multiplayer Beta. We've opened registration and are currently cranking away on the game build to have it ready for a Summer launch.

GAME DEVELOPER CONFERENCE 2011
The funds will allow us to bring a polished build to this years Game Developer Conference, where all developers, publishers and investors come to talk, mingle and release new announcements.


Spiral Game Studios features a rich history and is compromised of some of the industry’s most exciting and creative talent. We house former developers of major corporations such as SEGA, Electronic Arts and a variety of others. I had spent a year creating the ultimate game development “dream-team”.
