Alien Arena: Warriors of Mars - Steam Greenlight

[Irritant]

Hey guys, we are finally getting the new version of Alien Arena close to release, and hopefully on Steam!  This is pretty much a complete reboot of the game, very streamlined and compact as well.

Alien Arena was Greenlit after just 2 weeks, and since then we've been in super-ultra crunch mode.  The integration with Steamworks is completed, and the game itself has undergone several once-overs in both content and code.  The animation of both players and weapons was heavily targetted, and we wound up adding around 50 new frames of animation (297 total now) for players, including 6 new animation groups(step left, step right, sneak, swim, dangle, backpedal).  And because we use skeletal animation, players bend at the waist, not rotating the entire model, etc(though we've had this working for many years).  The visual improvement of having these animations, plus the new weapon animation sequences is really fairly stunning, and adds so much more immersion and fluidity to what you see. 

October 6th, 2017 is the target release date on Steam.
