Why Early Access?

“Early access allows us to put the game in the hands of players much earlier, which can help gather important feedback during development. We're planning to release the game episodically, each level at a time as we expand upon and improving the game. We plan on each level releasing as a major content update, alongside fundamental updates to the game itself.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Approximately a few years, but we're intending to release each level every few months to allow non-stagnant content flow.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“It will be the same game, just more content. As each level is released, we plan to include new gameplay mechanics, enemies and puzzles to continue to provide expansive gameplay.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Mantra is a FREE project, being developed by a large cast of talented developers who are looking to get a foot in the door in this industry.

The current state of the early access version will include the first level, playable from start to finish. This first level sets up the store of Reed (The protagonist) and Tenso Corp, the company behind the near total destruction of humanity.

Set in the near future, a growing force of robots controlled by a corrupt AI is hell-bent on destroying humanity. Humanity is on the brink of extinction. Corrupted AI code caused thousands of industrial robots to turn into human-killing murder machines. As the former lead developer for Tenso Corp, you feel it's your duty to right the wrongs that brought chaos to the world.

Mantra is a sci-fi FPS inspired by the likes of Doom, TitanFall and Halo taking you through an expansive world where robots have gone corrupt and are seeking to take over the planet. Throughout Mantra, you'll encounter a healthy mix of action-packed combat, swift traversal spaces and puzzles you'll have to complete in order to progress.

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Users can join our discord community to engage in conversation with all of our developers or participate in our organized community events. We have also discussed the idea of releasing a modkit that our players can utilize to create their project while using ours as a base.”
