Hello there,
I would like to introduce you a game that is being developed by my friend. Any feedback and support is appreciate!

Hypersomnia is a fast-paced top-down arena released as free software, with an aspiration to one day become an MMO with elements of RPG.
Set in a hypothetical afterlife reality, it shall provide joy through altruistic behaviours, fierce fights, exploration, fulfillment of elaborate social roles or sowing panic as a traitor to benevolent ones.
Declare allegiance to one of the three factions whose apple of discord is a disparity between prevailing notions of moral excellence. Metropolis. Atlantis. Resistance.

Yesterday, a developer added bullet penetration.

The game is good, but it would be better if you could make the game brighter since it feels quite dark, and adding some shadows would enhance the overall experience.
I played this with the dev team and friends yesterday, it was loads of fun - wicked cross of Counter-Strike with something like Quake. Looking forward to their progress.
I code, therefore I exist.
Lately the game getting a lot stars on github and new players appears https://youtu.be/CHLPzZqANlM
It's a pretty interesting game although I didn't see any options to add in bots but maybe I'm just clueless
eitherway it looks promising

Update #1
Update #2
October 2023's Linux Magazine (Issue #275) presents an review of Hypersomnia
BTW I'd like to clarify that I'm not the game's creator; I mention this because some Discord users have asked. My aim is to support the game's growth and increase its popularity because I genuinely believe it has great potential. You can check out the source code on GitHub, and I must say, Pythagoras, the creator, is incredibly talented

Update #1
Pythagoras has written:
**Hypersomnia now comes with a complete in-game Tutorial!
The **20 levels** will teach you EVERYTHING you need to start kicking ass of the experienced players!
Just open the game as usual - the Tutorial will launch on its own.
It has never been easier to introduce the game to your friends!

Is there modding support planned?

Yes, (Client+Server)-side gameplay map-specific scripts using luau.
