Hi everyone! We are currently considering making Mac builds, but as the current development team doesn't have ready access to Macs, we can't really evaluate how much work needs to be done for Mac support in the future. Fortunately, Unity supports making Mac builds regardless of what platform is doing the building, so we would like to invite a few people with Macs to check the build out and see how playable things are. If it's anything like the current Linux version, the game should be able to link up with sessions created from other platforms, but would have some problematic graphics. If you are interested in having a look, please reply to this announcement, and I'll contact you when there are a few people available.

The Flock

The Flock is a first-person asymmetrical multiplayer thriller for 3 - 5 players. You get to play as one of the agile monsters that make up the Flock. Competing against the other monsters, you need to find and claim the Light Artifact. The player that finds the Artifact transforms into the Carrier, a slower and vulnerable humanoid. Only the Carrier can win the match. The game will feature three distinctive maps with their own tactics and level mechanics.

As the Carrier you need to fend off the Flock by shining your light upon them as they are attempting to gain the Artifact for themselves! The Flock are vulnerable to the Artifact's light, but turn to stone when they stand still; rendering them immune to the power of the Artifact.

When you are one of the Flock you must use your increased movability to find the wandering Carrier. Stalk it, frighten it, and pounce when the moment is right.

Population

Unfortunately the game didn't do well enough for the population to decrease in any way worth mentioning. Vogelsap ran out of money a long time ago, and therefore the server that keeps track of the population run out too. We said we would rather go down then change our philosophy for this game. Well.. it became the first thing; we went down.

Please read our FAQ regarding the population to learn more about what it was that we were trying to do.
