There is a deep void gnawing at the heart and soul of every human – a longing for love that cannot be satisfied in this world. And when this yearning is left to fester and rot, it will one day blossom into the purest flame.<\/em><\/p>\n

A rebellion, a thousand years in the making, overthrows the Twins – the god-ruler of the world-city of Vigil. Through the development of the enigmatic Animus Engine, humans were able to create a conduit of unlimited arcane power that permitted the production of Eschaton Units; enormous, mobile war machines powered by unfettered magic. Humanity took to battle riding these weapons of mass destruction and waged an apocalyptic war against the Twins.<\/em><\/p>\n

Now that they are defeated, humanity must face its brave new future on its own. Amidst the chaos and turmoil of the post-war climate, once tenuously allied factions become embittered rivals in a bid for mankind’s destiny. Should we, under the banner of the Humanists, slay the Twins once and for all and broadcast to the galaxy that we are merciless and strong? Or should humanity, as per the Moderatists, spare its life so that we may be known as temperate and rational?<\/em><\/p>\n

Tensions rise and, before long, gun shots are fired. Nobody really knows which side made the first move – but Eschaton Units are taking to the devastated streets once more. Can you bring peace to our beleaguered race? Or will you plunge us into further chaos?<\/em><\/p>\n

Eschaton Doctrine<\/em> is a very rough, early prototype of a turn-based online multiplayer skirmish game, developed by 5 BTS students at the Lyc\u00e9e des Arts et M\u00e9tiers in Luxembourg.<\/p>\n

\"EschatonDoctrineScreenshot\"<\/p>\n

\"\"At its core, the idea of the game was to build a turn-based, competitive strategy game set in an urban world recently upheaved by civil war. Players are put into the role of Eschaton Pilots who commandeer extremely dangerous, science-fantasy mecha. Competing in small-scale online matches (+\/- 3v3), players move their unit around a square grid battle arena to outmaneuver and defeat their opponents in short, tactical combat engagements. Turns function in a semi-simultaneous fashion: players issue their orders simultaneously but, once everybody is ready, actions are then executed sequentially in a second phase of the round.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While the prototype only shows a mock-up of this, the intent was to have players be able to pick between different mecha before the match launches and pair with with a pilot of their choice. This type of mix- and matching would provide players of different styles and inclinations a way to customize their experience and permit new interesting strategies with each new unit or pilot that is released down the line.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It was one hell of a journey. While our intentions were grander than what we ultimately were able to deliver in the time given to us, we are nonetheless content knowing that each and every one of us pushed themselves to the limit. We are proud of the things we did manage to accomplish and learn through this experience.<\/p>\n

On this note, we would like to thank everyone involved who made our lives a little easier. And thank you<\/strong> for checking out our work!<\/p>\n
