**CONTEST**

Summary

OBSUDO is a multiplayer hacker game which provides you with an immersive virtual environment for which you play. This game is a perfect mix between Uplink, The Sims & MMORPG game structure. Bringing together a fully simulated metropolis, with full network structure, and a built-in progression system that is actually meaningful to players.

The artificial intelligence (AI) of the OBSUDO servers are highly advanced and built from the ground up specifically for the game. The way we have it laid out allows for 1 000 000 completely unique, low impact NPC's with fast lookups so you feel like you are playing with real people. On top of this, the state of the art AI is so advanced that the politics and economy of the game will continue to grow and evolve despite any player activity. Yeah, that's right, OBSUDO still plays itself, even without any players online.

OBSUDO is a virtual world with cities, people, companies, politics, hangouts along with a full economic and political system. And what makes everything better, just like the world today, everything is hackable!

Platform

At this time OBSUDO will run soley on Computers but is cross platform! OBSUDO is being designed to run on Windows, Mac OSX & Linux!

We have had fun developing our perk packs and hope you enjoy them just as much as we did. Our perks offer you one-of-a-kind merchandise and opportunities all directly related to OBSUDO.

**NOTE: Any and all customs fees are your responsibility as the receiver of the product. Also, for those pledging from outside of Canada and the U.S., shipping fees may apply to perks. 

What if we don't reach our goal?

If we don't end up reaching our goal we will still use funds raised for game development. Of course game development will be much slower as we will have to dedicate more of our time and resources to other jobs in order to pay our bills.

Stretch Goals

$45,000 ~ We Will Build It

This is the minimum amount we require to build OBSUDO. With this amount we will build OBSUDO to a fully operational state.

$50,000 ~ Custom Challenges

Most of the game is procedurally generated. If we raise this level of funding, we will manually go in and create custom puzzles to challenge the ambitious players and keep the game interesting.

$60,000 ~ More Game Content

We will develop much more "in-game content". This will include, but is not limited to, easter eggs, services, global companies, operating systems, hardware, software, and minigames.

$75,000 ~ Graphical Mod Support

Up to this point, the game is limited to what we as developers have decided the graphics should look like. If we reach this goal we will develop extra graphic options that will make the game much more immersive. We will also add the option to mod your operating system graphics with in game tools so that you can have a very personalized gaming experience.

$80,000 ~ Signed Copy of Game

If we reach this goal we will give everyone that donated from tier 3 ($50) or higher a promo code for the OBSUDO website. This code will, upon purchase of the downloadable copy, give you a free CD copy that has been signed by the lead developers.

$100,000 ~ Single Player Mode

We will develop a full single player campaign that can be played offline. This will be complete with as many features from multiplayer as are appropriate.

$110,000 ~ Request Based Extras

This is where the fun begins! We will take feedback from YOU and fit in as many realistic feature requests as possible to make the game more interesting and fun for you to play.

$140,000 ~ Expansion Pack

We have tons of ideas that just aren't economically feasible for the first version of OBSUDO if we want to get it to you in a reasonable time. At this level we will begin development on an expansion pack for OBSUDO as soon as production of the main game is completed.

? ~ Overkill Development

Anything over $140,000 we will use to add features, support, server improvements and anything else we can do to make OBSUDO a much more entertaining game for you to play!

The Impact

STEAM

Yes, we do mean the popular gaming community used by over 30 000 000 gamers worldwide. We have plans to develop into the Steam system to give you an environment that you know and love! You will be able to more easily chat with friends, get subscriptions, game vouchers etc. in the friendly and easy to use Steam environment. Due to the steam acceptance process we can't guarantee that OBSUDO will be on Steam at this time, but as game development progresses we will have a better grasp of whether it will actually be on Steam or not. We of course will keep you posted on updates about Steam and when we have it in the Steam consideration process we will need your help to get the word out so it is accepted for distribution by Steam.

Subscriptions

No, this is not a subscription based game! We are going to offer many opportunities in the game to add levels of immersion. One of which will be subscription packs. These subscriptions will allow for added functionality and convenience. One thing we do NOT want to do is to weigh the game in favor of those who are paying more money, so we are not adding advantages, merely conveniences. We have not fully laid out what our subscription packs will include as we will need a almost completed game in order to fully develop these packs but I have put an example of one of the features below.

In OBSUDO, you will obviously be able to log out of your game. The catch is that you will be able to log out in one of two ways. 

1. Disconnect your system from the OBSUDO network leaving your computer safe from attack while you are not physically there.

2. Leave your system connected to the OBSUDO network allowing for programs to continue auto hacks, password decryption, contribute to your clans network etc.

One of the features of the subscription pack will allow you to get a warning directly to your phone via SMS (text message) or to email in the event that your OBSUDO system is under attack while you are not physically there.

This is just one of the many features that will be added into the subscription packs. We will release more as it comes available.
