The Starving Tournament


will be a Multiplayer Survival Game, loosely based on the "The Hunger Games" movies. The open alpha version is already available for public access. Try our open alpha, report bugs or give us your ideas to make it the best game it can be.

About the project

Being fascinated of the "Hunger Games" arena idea and for the lack of a real game for the movies / books we wanted to start our own "Hunger Games" fan project. So we started "The Starving Tournament" - a tournament where 20 players will be put into differently designed arenas with traps, monsters and other dangers. But the biggest dangers are the other players and the HUNGER

Will you be the last one standing and win the Starving Tournament?

We are aware of the fact, that there have been other "Hunger Games" like games before, but we want to go a step further and take more features from the actual "Hunger Games" movie into our Game "The Starving Tournament".
You can help us to achieve this goal, by downloading and playing the alpha version of the game,
report us bugs, give us Feedback and help us to build an amazing GAME!! Feel free to share your ideas, wishes etc. in the comments or write a message.

New Update of The Starving Tournament Open Alpha - 0.77

Improvements:

Fixed Major Bug with combat in unlimited mode:

image007

What is the main camera? This can be an important question in a game especially when you're calculating combat hits from the camera position and direction. The unlimited mode had a major bug where after a respawn the menu cam wouldn't be disabled. The content of the camera was not rendered (Or overwritten by player cam) but the position confused the targetting system. With update 0.77 combat is working fine again and while fixing this bug we also added the option that different melee weapons have different range (based on their physical appereance)

Added betting system for specators:image008 1

The spectators now can place bets (with selected stake) to get more money. Bet types are PlayerX killes PlayerY, PlayerX survives for Y days and PlayerX wins the round. In later updates different bets will get different return, for now all bets return the doubled stake.

Added energy shield as level border:

image005 1

There were some new playtests on youtube appearing where the players where jumping off the arena which off course should not be possible. We added an energy shield which also looks very cool and creates a claustrophobic atmosphere.

Improved bots:

The bots were just too mean in melee fighting. Now they will also miss their targets sometimes.

Many more small improvements and level updates like better looking bushes, new swamps, fixed sleeping (player won't attack when placing tent and is now sleeping inside tent)

Have fun checking out the new version

Hi, the game looks really cool and stuff, but I can't play it in my 32 bit windows 7 PC.
Please, make it compatible with 32 bit in w7. Thanks! :D

Keep up the good work guys!
