Feardemic today released a developer diary video about the lightning fast development of its dystopian FPS with hacking mechanics, 2084that launched on Steam Early Accesslast week. The game was fully developed during a 72-hour internal game jam organised by Feardemic and Bloober Team and the video showcases commentary by the team members behind it expressing the struggles and victories they have had along the way.

We were so impressed with the level of quality of this game jam title that we’ve put all our energy into sharing it with the world within a few weeks,” said Martin Kawa, CEO of Feardemic. “This video is a tribute to the whole team acknowledging their extraordinary effort that went into the development, and also to the 2084 community, which will decide the future of the game.”

Watch the 2084 Developer Diary here:

2084 casts players into the role of Laura Lofi, a junior researcher at Chiron Incorporated, sent on a mission into a horrific post-apocalyptic labyrinth full of deadly hostiles. In order to eliminate her adversaries and, ultimately, escape, Laura must utilise an array of computer hacking commands on the fly while engaging in combat. Set 66 years into the future, 2084 makes good on its bleak, cyberpunk vision. The dystopian Fifth Polish Republic is in turmoil after a deadly infection has been unleashed which has left infected citizens delirious and aggressive. With over 85% of the population equipped with cyber body augmentations, humans — infected or otherwise — are more deadly than ever before. Laura must utilize not only her cybernetically enhanced armor but also a gun that can hack electronic devices, all in a bid to survive 2084’s blighted, roaming foes.

About 2084

Fully developed during a 72-hour internal game jam, 2084 is an intense first-person shooter where player success is dependent on their skill as a hacker as much as a marksman. Only by hacking the network for perks such as ammunition and augmented health stats will players stand a chance of escaping the mysterious cyberpunk chamber while under the constant deluge of mindless, murderous creatures. The Early Access version includes two game modes: a story mode where players must kill enemies and level bosses before facing off against the game’s final, most challenging adversary, and then an endless mode where gamers face wave after wave of enemies, killing everything in sight to gain top ranking on the 2084 leaderboards.
