ABOUT

OUTCLASS is planned as a multiplayer 2D shooter. currently the engine of this game is in development (very early stage), so there is no playable version yet. however there is a first release that contains a menu system test. to see how it works please see the screenshots below or download a working version, which is also available (only for WIN32 platform).

you can also view the source code. it's written in C/C++. to compile it yourself you'll need the MINGW compiler and the ALLEGRO and BASS libraries installed on your system.

sorry, but there is no more info yet available about this project, as it is in very early stage of development.
