Assembly

Assembly is a fps game with a big focus on handling the guns. Aliens have invaded the earth 50 years ago and finally earths resistance has managed to get hold of alien technology and learned how to use it. The only problem is that it is very difficult to do so with only two hands.

In Assembly the player must clear a bunch of levels on one of the aliens military bases on earth so that more weapons can be distributed to the resistance. The twist comes from the complexity of the guns themselves. The alien guns were design to be operated with four (or in some cases six) hands and so they require a greater level of mastery, and are operated with the 1-4 keys above the WASD keys.

The guns are aimed aimed and shot with the mouse like any fps. However each of the 1-4 keys controls a different piece of a weapon and to perform an action outside of shooting will require the player too press these to do that. e.g reloading, changing ammo, scoping, activating a rapid fire mode etc....

Also each weapon will give the player a couple abilities that they can use in the same way. Small weapons like pistols will only need the 1-3 keys to use, while the bigger ones will need to use all four.

Other than the gun mechanic, Assembly will play similarly to and old school fps like Blood or Doom. It will be fast paced and action packed with lots of gore and violent dying animations. The player must also free captured humans that are being experimented on in the military base. The boss battles with be either high ranking alien soldiers or mutated humans who have been stitched into abominations.
