Jump straight into pure action with Natural Born Soldier, an FPS that gives you the unique opportunity to personify a soldier and defend your homeland from your mobile device. Customize your 3D soldier's face with your own picture or avatar, select your homeland you want to fight for, and you are ready to go! The end result is pretty cool as other players see you transposed into the game itself. Just imagine playing against friends and peoples you know! You will have a unique and amazing experience which no other FPS on the mobile market provides. The goal is to bring into the mobile market a fun FPS that generates strong emotions and is really easy to grasp.

Natural Born Soldier has just entered closed BETA on iOS, and I’m inviting You to join in. You have a chance to try out Natural Born Soldier as one of first people, and give me highly valued feedback. I have a limited amount of slots available, so sign up quickly!



BETA details:

Yes only in America continent, which is a lot of countries . The thing is that I will run the BETA only using one server which is located in USA to minimize complexity. On release, multiple servers will be available. This is to bring good experience and minimal lags.

Where are you located exactly?

You might want anyway to subscribe your email into the game webpage http://www.naturalbornsoldier.com so you get notified when the game is released, up to you.

The game will be free at launch, and after having a certain number of download will be paid. Price is not yet define, but will be affordable. There will be no Ads or in-app purchase.

BTW the guys, this post is not only dedicated to BETA testing of Natural Born Soldier, but basically any feedback or comments on how the games look like from your perspective would be great .

Thanks!

Cheers,
Eric

 

Cool Terrence. Yes 2 months ago I figure out MFi support was a must for my game, as I was seeing many request for that feature on MC5 and gamers complaining, so I decided to put this in. So MFi controller is supported, I made the development with Mad Catz CTRLi, but all the iOS enabled controller on iOS should be working.

You can subscribe on my website so that you know exactly when the game the released .

Cheers,
Eric

Ok toucharcade FPS fans, the BETA will be on Thursday 8pm Central Time (GTM -5).

I cannot sent the TestFlight invite yet as tomorrow I will add another chunk of players from another site and I prefer to send the invite only once when I have all the players information.

Cheers,

Hello nxtboyIII,

Indeed, for the environments I bought it from the Asset Store, all my maps not only the Cave lol, and made modifications to them to suite my needs... Personally, I don't see why I should re-event the wheel or do stuff that I'm not expert at (3D modelling etc), that is why Asset Store exist right ? As a solo indie developer, on a mobile FPS project too (ohhh direct competitor, is it why you post this?), you should know that correct? The players doesn't really care where the map come from, as long as it suite well the game and it is fun.

Finally, I also prefer investing my time in original and fun features better then designing entirely a map myself which at the end will not be good anyway as what professional can do.

Sir nxtboyIII I see your post a little bit as trying to bash in some way or another my game, I know we play in the same arena, but next time try to be more professional and constructive, otherwise better to not post anything .

Good luck with your ZONA X project.

BTW, this post is pretty old, will be creating a new one pretty soon.

Cheers,
Eric L.

 

Good point, I miss my shoot a little bit but not that far lol as you are developing a FPS like myself, and can see you also use the same asset as I do (can appreciate Desert map in your screenshot), reason why I assume your post.

lol, as I was saying, I don't want to design my maps from scratch and simply buy some from professional artist and MODIFY them , which at the end are my own flavor of it. I mean we can debate this for while, if you believe you the contrary, it's your stuff mate, good luck with that.

For that first release, that will be it. Later on, I might modify the maps even more, but the fact is if player likes the map how they are in the moment (this is the feedback i received from 2 BETA test sessions by more than 20 external players), why I would invest more time in modifying them even more when i can improve other key features. The funny part is that from the trailer, you cannot really know how much I did modify the original scene but you seems to know more than me how much I did modify them lol.

Keep going bro. I have some development todo.

Eric
