On August 31, 2007, podcasts by Max McGuire and Charlie Cleveland were released. A video containing an example of Dynamic Infestation was posted on the Unknown Worlds development blog. On Decemthe first major announcement of a possible feature was announced, named 'Dynamic Infestation'.
Charlie ‘Flayra’ Cleveland will continue his work on the game and Cory Strader (concept artist from Natural Selection) will also be contributing concept artwork.
It was to be developed by the Natural Selection creator's newly founded company, Unknown Worlds. The game was officially announced in October 2006. Physics support is provided by several third-party libraries. The game engine utilizes the Lua scripting language for game logic, allowing for easy expansion of the game's mechanics. The Aliens also have the option of eliminating all infantry portals (Marine spawn structure) and any alive Marines, however because eggs (Alien spawn structure) automatically spawn around hives (unlike Tremulous) Marines cannot do the same.Ī game engine originally dubbed "Evolution" was developed specifically for the game. Buildings in Natural Selection are designed to aid players in their offensive, defensive, stealth and speed capabilities.įor a team to achieve victory, they must eliminate all of the opposing team command structures ( Hive of the Kharaa, Command Station of the Frontiersmen). The commander can place buildings, research upgrades and has a number of abilities to support their team (dropping health and ammo packs, using certain support units to aid in combat or building, or erecting walls to block enemy movement), at the cost of resources. Both teams may have one player act as a commander, who is given a top-down view of the map and plays the game in a Real-time strategy perspective. The primary feature that differentiates Natural Selection 2 from others in the FPS genre is its strategy component. Players also have a currency system which they use to buy better equipment or evolve into higher lifeforms. Certain alien lifeforms can walk on walls, fly, and even dash forward in the blink of an eye. Aliens, however, rely primarily on melee attacks. Marines largely rely on guns and other pieces of technology to annihilate the alien presence. While the two teams have the same essential goals, gameplay for each team varies drastically. Like its predecessor, Natural Selection 2 features two opposing teams of players, Kharaa (Aliens) and Frontiersmen (Marines), seeking to destroy the other's respective base.
