FAQs

When is a 2v2 coming?
To be honest - we're not sure. The logistics of it have been quite a challenge as we need to handle multiple disconnecting users, exponential lag increases and about a million other things.

We know you want that and yes we're working on it!

Barrax and Malcx - you have green text? wow cool how do I get it?
We developed the game so to give us the edge and some authority in the forums we've got green text - at the moment it's just us and no we won't program the game so you can have it as well to play a joke on your friend.

We have started an interface though so that you'll be able to customise the chat, although this has taken a back seat to the 2v2 game development.

I've an idea for a cool feature!!!
Well post it in the forum, unless it's about a 2v2 player game - see above.

How come you strafe only (can't turn your head)?
This custom 3D engine was developed with one goal in mind - allow people on public/work computers to play FPS. To accomplish this, we've produced a very limited but fun 3D environment. Although Flash has inherent game performance limitations, we have actually implemented camera rotation in an earlier test versions. The problem was that it caused more confusion for the player than fun.We havent completely dismissed camera rotation, we're just trying to find the right balance that satisfys frantic game-play and low-spec hardware. Of course we'd all like to play Halo in our flash players, and one day we will, but for now just enjoy dodging rockets and exploding into giblets.

Can I become an Admin?
Maybe. We have some friends running things at the moment - people we know and trust. Eventually we'll get to know you as well. At that point we can have a chat about adding you as an administrator.

Can I distribute your game?
Afraid not. Ultrakillz.com is the only place we'd like to see the game played. One day we'll make a single player game that can be made available for distribution.

What 3D engine did you use to make this?
Its a custom 3D engine that uses FlashSandy's distort image class for the wall projections.

What Socket server did you use?
Its a custom made JAVA socket server built specifically for realtime multiplayer gaming, this has it's own page at yoctoverse.com and may one day be distributed for other developers to use for online gaming.

Can I advertise on ultrakillz.com?
After all the money and time we've spent on building and running this project, we'd certainly like to see some return to cover our costs. Send us an email and we'll have a chat about it! ultrakillz@googlemail.com
