This post is here for all the countless newcomers that always are asking me "What is this Project CORE?". Well for you I decided to clarify a few things. So at first the basics: Project CORE is an Austrian independantly developed game, whose first version was in development from 2021 to 2023, releasing on March 10th, 2023 on the Microsoft Store. Then development continued and eventually (in december) version 2.0 launched bringing new content. Development further continued and a new version (mostly performance related fixes were added) released then on March 10th of this year on itch.io. This explains the game's development, but what is it actually about? Well, it's gameplay is split in 2 parts: At first there's a story focused hubworld, which you can fully explore in thirdperson-3D in the players viewpoint. There you can talk to npcs and start the more important part of the game: The levels: There were 21 normal missions in the main campaign initially with 10 aditional ones being added in the december update. The game is all in all roughly 8 hours long, but boasts infinite replay value, as there's a global highscore leaderboard. The game in terms of story is about a future, 2053 to be precise, in which humanity needs to defend itself from an unknown invader force known as the "enemys" (you noticed it probably, but that's no spelling error, it's just how the enemys are called) Your task as a pilot for the organisation C.O.R.E. is then to pilot a futuristic ship to defeat these enemys, but fear not: this is just the surface level and over the course of the game you'll be able to experience a far deeper story and can even chosoe your own destiny... or not and only focus on the levels: IT'S ALL UP TO YOU. So if you're into action sci-fi games then this one's for you. That's all I wanted to say, thank you so much for your continued support!
