Big thanks to everyone for helping me along with this. It's nice to have a project to work on through the Pacific Northwest rainy season :thumb

If you have ever played PUBG or seen any of the YouTube videos then you'll recognize everything pretty quick. UTBG is King-of-the-Hill with the added twist that a zone slowly closes in that forces players together, nullifying the 'hide and wait' players who can slow down the gameplay. Weapons require multiple clear hits to kill a player so you do have time to try to evade someone shooting at you. Emphasis is always on healing and finding boosters to improve your health profile.

Core gameplay elements are coded, pickups are nearly done. I'll be working through the weapons this next week and getting those added in. The mod will work on any DM map with more than one playerstart but works best on larger maps that give you more time to loot weapons and pickups.

I'll have the entire mod done and in testing by early Spring and I do plan on having a separate version that utilizes only the zone mechanics so it can be added to other non-UTBG mods that want to use it.

Small teaser vid. The pickups you see are fully functional and work like their PUBG counterparts. More to come in the next couple of weeks.

Adding a new update video. It will make a lot more sense if you have played PUBG but you'll still see where this is going

You're really going balls to the wall with this, very nice indeed.

I know it looks disjointed but this is very much one of those "wait till it comes together" projects. Because I have a good template to follow with the already existing game it makes decisions pretty easy and straightforward. I think the very quick nature of the games as well as the high stakes of winner takes all will be compelling to play especially since you can use almost any DM map and having knowledge of the map beforehand won't help all that much once the shooting starts.

And it's a fun way to endure the rainy season.
