Nebulex

Nebulex is a zero gravity space-themed multiplayer shooter.

We wanted to launch something new, something that hadn't been done before. Turns out it has be done before, so this game ended up surprisingly like Shattered Horizon.  

Play 5 game modes (Destruction, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Astroball and Meltdown). 

We have a variety of maps, from zero gravity space stations, to traditional in gravity fighting and even a mix of both on the spaceships we've got something for every space nut.

Share the love (and a little bit of the hate)! Join our Discord, it's a great place to find people to play with and also to let us know what you think!

Suggested price is free (I mean it, please don't pay us).

INSTRUCTIONS

Start Game>Multiplayer

To start a server:

Use the arrows to find the map you want to play, select a game mode. Then type a server name and click Start Server. This will load you into the lobby and active the server on your computer.  You may see a request for network permission from windows (port forwarding is usually not required, but if it is you may have to forward port 10235 -> let me know!).

In the lobby, click on one of the yellow squares. Step on the white platform with the blue smoke. This will load you into the match.

To join a server:

Use the arrows to select the map you want to play. Open servers will show on the right side, click the server to join. Follow the rest of the instructions above.

Basic controls:

Movement with WASD keys and mouse. 

"R" is to use items and reload. 

"U" is knife. 

"Q" and "E" are up/down jetpack. 

Use space to jump in gravity and to stick to things in zero-g.

Left click shoots, right click scopes.

ENTER to activate chat, Enter again to submit.

Esc opens pause menu

"z" is grenade

Scroll and "r" change weapons.

"c" to crouch.

MMB opens HUD 

and Shift sprints.

All of this is confusing. I'm working on it. If you get lost or want someone to play with, find me on the Discord.

WHICH VERSION DO I DOWNLOAD?

TL;DR Use Shackleton

If you're looking for a better supported and very similar game, Boundary is to be released this year (2020).

So Boundary was supposed to be released last year, then early this year (2021) and is still nowhere to be seen, so here I am again. Sitting in front of my computer. I've decided to fix a lot of the bugs in the 1.3a version so I am now recommending the 1.3b version to everyone (which will come out pretty soon). It has a lot more features than the previous version and plays a lot better.

I'm really more or less on my own working on this right now, so I can't get to adding every feature and fixing every bug I'd like to right away. However, I'd still love to hear what you guys think and what you'd like to see in the future!

Update 2022-03-29: To try to get rid of a lot of the bugs and make the game more manageable, we've taken out a bunch of stuff from the game temporarily. As we get problems fixed and more time, we'll try to add the ships, gravity and other maps back into the game.  This really isn't the game that we started years ago so this is really the beginning of a name change. Never really liked the name in the first place which is why you'll see a new file called Shackleton. This is the new version and you'll find that the gameplay probably feels a lot better and connects better (we're using a new networking system!).  Thanks for playing!
