Description

In Bootleg Systems, you play agent Logan Blake, a member of the dystopian society our world has become at the dawn of the 23rd century. In a time where humans can no longer conceive and maintain their corporal envelopes, humanity is forced to transfer their knowledge and conscience to machines. A worldwide artificial intelligence program is put in place to preserve our ideas and legacy until a solution to humanity's subsistence is found. One day, a breach in the system occurs, allowing rogue agents to clone its data and create new systems used to serve alternative purposes. Your responsibility is to investigate these illegal systems, take possession of their intel, and shut them down to restore order.

History

Development of Bootleg Systems began in June 2015, but it all started as an idea on February of the same year. From June to August, the team developed the first playable prototype. Despite the first version being able to successfully showcase the impressive cloning powers of the Clone Gun, the game lacked depth and polish on every aspect. The team decided to sleep on the idea for a while and come back to it later with a fresh new perspective.

In March 2016, the team got back working full-time on developing Bootleg Systems. At last, the game has reached a point where it starts to feel like what it was meant to be. To celebrate the progress that was achieved in bringing the game closer to its release, the team is proud to launch the Bootleg Systems Pre-Alpha Demo on December 1st 2016. The team is eager to start connecting with the world's gaming communities and engage in discussions, gather feedback, and co-create with them in order to (hopefully) release the full version of Bootleg Systems in 2017.

"Overall, the game mechanics are simple, but the kind of simple that I quickly became addicted to."
- Will Morin, indielove
"For whatever reason, there’s not as many indie developers looking to create FPSes as there are creating puzzle, platformer, or even adventure titles. [Neonable] is looking to change that with Bootleg Systems."
