Howdy!
My name is John Grisnik, I am the lead developer at Platoon Studios. We are a indie development company based in Redding, California, USA. We specialize in PC and laptop games for Windows (and eventually SteamBox). Our game, Bionite: Origins has just gone into BETA and we're finally confident enough to release it to the public. To say the least, the game was extremely difficult to develop and took over 5 years to get to BETA.
Bionite: Origins is a unique hover-tank based game that blends FPS and RTS elements in a Battlezone-type style. Players command units to construct bases and defend them in first or third person view. An additional satellite view (RTS) is used to command team defenses against attacking enemy, execute complex attacks on enemy assets, and deploy turrets to defend team assets. Tanks and vehicles are grouped into formations and squads to capture resources from the enemy. With missions on several planets, the goal is to destroy the enemy bases. Players need to manage critical resources such as BioOre and electricity successfully in order to triumph in battle.
Backstory Summary
BIONITE: Origins is the first in a series of games set in the future of mankind. The mysterious element called “Bionite” is accidentally found on Venus by a crew of prospectors looking for deposits of Helium3. They soon learn that Bionite has a very unique quality that has laid dormant for thousands of years. In order to extract the Bionite a massive mining operation is built on Venus. As the result of a minor disagreement with the military, a group of scientists are banished from Earth and form their own faction dedicated to stopping the military. Because of its nefarious uses by the military and the spread of mining facilities throughout the galaxy, the Rebel Faction has dedicated itself to stopping all Bionite production. Players can participate in battles on the Military Side (IMI) or for the Rebel Faction. Sniping an enemy vehicle for infiltrating the enemy base is a great way to launch a sneak attack…
