J.A.C.A.L.S.

JACALS starts out as a simple military first or third person shooter (I vacillate), with industry-standard moves and game mechanics in an immersive and non-cartoon setting based sometime in the future. Enough scenarios, weapons, and opponent types will be provided that it can be replayed at this level forever.

But when you want to add some thought to your carnage, advanced optional missions will highlight the game's unique features, style and complexity.  Highlight is he multi-character feature. Not multi-player, but the ability to hotswap from one team member to another.  You don't just lead your team, you are your team. On their own, your jacals have about enough sense to follow where you move, and maybe shoot at whatever's in front of them. For anything more complicated, you have to take manual control. Most maps are open enough that either leading from the front or micromanaging should work; nothing here is a linear dungeon crawl.

The current demo has one scenario, and the bad guys have really wild aim.  The UI is hosed.  But its still kind of fun to just run around and shoot at turrets.  Support me on Patreon and the upgrades will continue for much longer.

Basic play

Mouse and keyboard, WASD to move, mouse to shoot.  Mouse secondary to aim.   '=' key to quit.  Other standard moves: Q to roll, R to reload (not the chain gun, all you have for that is all you get), Space to jump, C to crouch, X to crawl, same again to get back up.  N to go to the next guy, P to go to the previous.
