So excited to finally announce SPRAWL zero!

We've been working on this in secret for the past couple of years! We're taking a leap forward to the 2000s, inspired by the era of classics like Halo!

// Y2K is back //

IT'S TIME!

Today we are proud to announce the next chapter in our universe: SPRAWL zero.

Inspired by classics like Bungie's Halo and Marathon, as well as Half Life 2 and anime from the era, this is our love letter to the golden years of FPS.

Y2K is back.

[SPRAWL zero @SPRAWLfps]

I’m looking for players who have:

• A love for Y2K era shooters.
• Vibes for 2000's breakbeat, trance, and DnB music.
• The strength to survive in a broken cyberpunk dystopia.
• And strategy to use cybernetic enhancements and gravity manipulation.

This is SPRAWL zero!

@Maple___s2 @chhopsky We've mitigated almost all of the shimmering issues with careful material authorship.

There are a couple of scenes in the game that suffer but 99% of the experience is CRISP.

@LoomingColumn Oooh I saw you post in our discord I think! Nice work!

[@embyr.bsky.social @EMBYRdev]

@jnvcia @SPRAWLfps If it wasn't Unreal we'd probably be on Godot.

Consoles are still a pain over there but I've got a decent amount of experience with contributing and modifying Godot.

@cholibaby @SPRAWLfps Maybe one day 👀

[@embyr.bsky.social @EMBYRdev]

@jnvcia @SPRAWLfps All consoles supported for free...

And nothing I'd write would rival what @kronok has pulled off with the Scythe plugin. The freedom it gives the level designer & artist in-engine is only really rivaled by Hammer 2.

I'd love to write my own engine, doesn't make sense here.

[@embyr.bsky.social @EMBYRdev]

@BrickBruce67460 @SPRAWLfps You'll get to experience it for yourself soon 👀

[@embyr.bsky.social @EMBYRdev]

I put a lot of effort into making sure we cooked with this one!

[SPRAWL zero @SPRAWLfps]

Some people have asked if SPRAWL zero is on the Source engine. We tuned Unreal to give the most authentic Y2K experience we could.

[@embyr.bsky.social @EMBYRdev]

@Average_Kishuu @azschizophrenic I'm crine 🤣

[@embyr.bsky.social @EMBYRdev]

If you're wondering why trans people are so "whiney" this is what we have to deal with on a daily basis.

[SPRAWL zero @SPRAWLfps]

Stealth enemy phenotype confirmed.

A city choked in ash and smog.

@KirkWoodes VTOL F-18?

[@embyr.bsky.social @EMBYRdev]

@UnrealPaulo Why not use Scythe ATP?

[@embyr.bsky.social @EMBYRdev]

@paripy140 What would you say is missing before it actually becomes usable? Starting a new project and trying to decide which direction to take things.

[@embyr.bsky.social @EMBYRdev]

We put @SPRAWLfps on the Switch before GTA VI...

[SPRAWL zero @SPRAWLfps]

Arkane's games like Dishonored and Prey are huge influences on our dev team, and we wanted to capture some of their emergent gameplay in our world design.

[SPRAWL zero @SPRAWLfps]

I'm making Half Life 2, except you are a cybernetically enhanced super soldier in a brutal cyberpunk city collapsing under military rule and cult fanaticism.

[@embyr.bsky.social @EMBYRdev]

@LUXSYS @AbysmalDweller There are a few ways you could implement something like this. What did you peeps go for with this one?
