<h1>Project introduction, May 2021</h1>
<p>2021-05-07</p>
<p><strong>arena</strong> (working title) is a multiplayer old-school arena shooter being made
with the Unity game engine. It's a hobby project that I have been working on
since 2016. It started as a <em>warmup</em> project before jumping into developing an
MMO, but I have since learned how much work goes into making just a multiplayer
fps. Especially as a solo project. </p>
<p>At it's core, <strong>arena</strong> is supposed to be my attempt at recreating a mix of
Quake 3 / Quake Live along with whatever else I decide to add. </p>
<p>Main features (so far):</p>
<ul>
<li>p2p multiplayer</li>
<li>support for custom maps</li>
<li>vq3-like movement</li>
<li>rocket launcher + rocket jumping</li>
<li>health pickups</li>
<li>3 gamemodes (FFA, TDM, Race)</li>
</ul>
<p>I'm in the process of rewriting a lot of systems in the game at the moment
because I'm switching from janky p2p multiplayer to an authoritative server
setup with client-side prediction
