Dystopia is a [[Half-Life 2]] modifcation which places the player into tense combat situations in a high tech world spanned by computer networks. As either Punks or Corp Mercenaries the player will fight through the physical world to gain access, via jack-in terminals, to cyberspace. Cyberspace is a three dimensional representation of the world's network. Inside cyberspace players will launch programs to hack into systems linked to the physical world, fight off enemy hackers or defend critical systems. Gameplay progresses through inter-linked physical and cyberspace objectives, some are completed in either the physical world or cyberspace, others only by a well timed combination of the two.

A few quick points on this:
Blade Symphony, Dystopia and Galacide development have effectively stopped. I'm working on investigating selling intellectual properties (likely Galacide,) and open-sourcing others (likely Blade Symphony and Dystopia.)

However, I will be supporting all titles as best as possible, by keeping websites and services running. I'll also be supporting any community tournaments or events that go on, by serving as a social media force multiplier for you. Just reach out to me directly!
