CPGN aims to be all the best parts of your favorite splitscreen multiplayers, in one package!

With heavy influence from.. GoldenEye 007, Turok 2, TimeSplitters, Rush 2, StarFox 64, 007 Nightfire, Stunt Race FX, Mario Party, Perfect Dark, Wave Race 64, Halo, and many more.

Gun mechanics (no "fake bullets" shooting from a magic ribcage-forehead instantly scanning hits)

Randomly generated maps (infinite replay value and no map memorization advantage)

1:1 button-to-action gameplay (no pointless delays between you and the game)

No loading screens (quality time for grandma to throw you through a window)

100% hitbox accuracy with 0 auto-aim (what you hit is what you shot at)

No pointless cut scenes to skip (you want a movie? watch a movie)

Currently we're in Early Access. Anyone can buy it, play it, and see what we've done so far, but the best has yet to come!

We've designed this game from the ground up, since day 1, to be modular. To be able to add onto with any genre or mechanic we wish to include. years of research and development has gone into this foundation. Many thought (understandably) that it was all just a fun dream, but I think they're finally catching on. I get it. People have short attention spans and there's no shortage of BS.

I'll say it again.. first person shooting (paintball, lasertag, military), racing (radio-controlled, full-scale), flying air-battles (helicopters, UFOs), and even mini golf and soccer are in the works right now, in some form.

There's also a ton of top secret stuff we don't want to talk about yet. Things that may even help change the state of the gaming industry. Which is so full of talent and artistry right now, yet so stale!

Games are more than sights and sounds! Where is the GAME in all these games?!

The gaming industry has no shortage of games, but what they are short on, is fun. It also feels like splitscreen multiplayer has been largely ignored over the years. Which is the most fun I've ever had gaming.

I know I'm not the only 1 who'd rather play with friends and family than strangers on the net. This is CPGN at it's core. That social interaction between people in the same room, eating, drinking, laughing, and yelling at each other, is something you can't replace with an internet connection.

There will be net games too though, later.

Since the core of CPGN is competition, it would only make sense that RGMs are the way to go. This keeps players from memorizing maps to their advantage, and instead, levels the playing field for all to think on their feet and engage each other armed only with skill and awareness.

Infinite replay value is also a plus.

A skill system keeps track of your performance and averages it from round to round. This allows for deeper challenge for those just starting out and those defending their rank.

This means that no one stays a winner for simply putting more time in. That's not skill. If you're a better player, it'll show immediately, both in game and on the scoreboard.

No pay-to-win bullshit here!

Behind it all, this project is really just an elaborate excuse to beat the crap out of your friends and family. It's 1 of my fondest memories growing up, and I think the same is true for a lot of gamers.

So help us help us all, reconnect with those special times, and create many more with a game that's very core is based around the love of gaming, and bringing people together, in 1 awesome package.
