Overview

Host is a FPS mod with a strong emphasis on puzzle solving using our unique firing system. This involves Controling the Elements (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_element), to solve puzzles and fight off enemies. Set in an apocalyptic future where war is raging between 3 forces on Earth, you are thrown into the middle as part of a Special Ops team to retrive some vital technology before it falls into the wrong hands.

History

The mod started life as a Year 1 University project in which we had 12 weeks to design, build and pitch a game.
