has announced<\/a> that the FPS spin-off of Hypnospace Outlaw<\/i> has a release date. Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer<\/i> is dropping on June 1st.<\/p>\nHypnospace Outlaw<\/i> was an extremely special game. While it took place in a fantasy reality, it created a loving time capsule of Web 1.0. The developers created various fictional characters to present a very accurate depiction of the internet in its awkward adolescence. It was rather spot on, and I know this because I lived Web 1.0.<\/p>\n
One of the characters was this edgy teenager called Zane Lofton. Like many teenagers, Zane lived in a self-centered fantasy land where he was the king of cool. Slayers X <\/i>is a further exploration of that character, this time through an FPS that he and his friend developed. It looks to drag us by the hair right back to 1998 when teenagers tinkered with Doom <\/i>and Duke Nukem 3D<\/i> modding tools.<\/p>\n
I also did that, but I wasn\u2019t a teenager yet, so nothing ever came of it aside from a few poorly textured rooms.<\/p>\n
