Quick Arena (Early-Alpha)

Quick Arena is a multiplayer sniper FPS with a clean low-poly look, built around the golden age of quickscoping. Snap onto a target and fire the instant you scope in, spin 360° mid-air for a trickshot, line up three enemies for a collateral, and if you chain 25 kills without dying, call in the nuke and end the game.

Early alpha: things change fast and feedback is very welcome.

Features

• One-shot bolt-action sniper with real quickscopes (fire within 0.45 s of aiming), no-scopes and MW2-style scope sway with hold-breath.
• Trickshots: your mid-air spin is tracked, and a kill after 360°, 720° or more earns a TRICKSHOT medal.
• Collaterals: bullets go through bodies, so one shot can drop a whole line of enemies. 
• Pistol and lunge knife as backup, reload cancel, slide, mantle and vault over anything, ladders.
• Medals with their own sounds: HEADSHOT, QUICKSCOPE, NO-SCOPE, TRICKSHOT, COLLATERAL.

The nuke

• Get 25 kills in a row without dying and the nuke is yours. Press N.
• Air-raid sirens, a giant 12-second countdown, the screen shakes, and the last seconds slow to a crawl.
• White flash, mushroom cloud over the map, everyone goes flying. Match over: you win.

Online

• Dedicated servers (Only EU ATM) with matchmaking: Free-for-All, Team Deathmatch, Sniper Only and Trickshot (lunar gravity) playlists.  
• Rooms of up to 8 players; bots fill in when it's quiet and leave when people join.
• Private matches with a room code to play with friends.
• Killcam through the killer's eyes, with slow-motion ragdolls, plus a final killcam at the end of every match.
• Server-side anti-cheat (hits are validated by the server, with lag compensation).

• Refinery: an oil rig in the desert with a three-level drilling tower, perfect for trickshots.

Just to clarify: all sounds, models and other assets used in Quick Arena are either free or properly purchased with a license. Nothing was used without permission.

As for animations, I have no background in them at all: I improvised everything, so some may look a bit rough or unnatural. That’s something I plan to improve later, and if anyone knows their way around animation, any advice is very welcome!
