A few years ago Iccusion Entertainment was working on a real-time strategy game. Due to limits in BYOND and lack of features to support RTS games, the game was put aside. With all the new features in BYOND 4.0, it is now time for Fray to come to BYOND.

What exactly is Fray? Fray is a real-time strategy game set in the future. There are not a lot of details to be shared at this time.

We would like to let the BYOND community follow the development of this game. So, this group will feature posts about the development of Fray as often as possible. Be sure to join the group to keep informed.

A few of the major issues BYOND had with RTS games, was the lack of full-screen, the lack of right-clicking for actions, the lack of alpha transparency, and much more.

Even after 4.0, one of the major issues was getting the screen to fit without all the blackness and still retain the art quality. Well, we have found a solution for this. The current build of Fray is very basic, it has been restarted from scratch. But most of the major hurdles of making a nice RTS game for BYOND have already been cleared. The game will start up in full screen and adjust to the screen resolution without losing any quality and without any annoying blackness. Other than that, the basic unit selection is complete.

Here is the very first screenshot of the new Fray (all of the art is temporary)!



We look forward to releasing more information about the development of the game. We are still seeking a pixel artist. If you are looking forward to being a part of this great team and this wonderful project, find out more information here.
Cool. I'll be looking this up when it's out, or when you have further updates. Good luck, have fun.
I've been waiting for Fray the first day Iccusion announced it a couple of years ago.

Good luck! I'm also working on a Real-time strategy game as of right now, but I don't think I'll be able to compete.
Invest in a good artist.

all I gotta say. =3
Cool. I look forward to following the progress.
What about your other games with those cool names?
Animosity, Abattoir, Contrivance, etc. etc.

There may be a future for them, we will have to wait and see. :)
