Freedomware Gamefest 2007 presents: Tremulous

Tremulous is probably the biggest among Freedomware Gamefest 2007 tournaments. It is a rather unique kind of a Free first person shooter (FPS) as the game involves a war between two races, humans and an alien race whose name still remains unknown. The alien race is quite different from humans, and reminds quite a bit of aliens you could see in Alien vs. Predator movies and games.

In Tremulous a player can choose to play either of the two. The experience of both is quite different and requires whole new skill sets. Aliens attack mostly with their paws, as daggers or poaching, but they do have lethal weapons to throw at you too.

Humans, on the other hand, are much less organic. They equip themselves with a horde of guns, light and heavy armour, turrets which can even throw lightning bolts at the approaching enemy.

Tremulous requires deep team play and an amount of strategic thinking. We have enlisted a number of experienced clans and are forming a few new teams to participate in the Tremulous Tournament as part of Freedomware Gamefest 2007.

One of the clan readers, CY, had this to say about the game when asked why does he love to play it:

"Well, it's free, it's open source, it's innovative, plays well, looks good, downloads in 5 minutes and takes no space on my computer.
I play mostly with my clan, against another team of players. So we all know each other, and we communicate through a vocal server, the games are much more organized and therefore much more interesting. This is what the Game Fest is preparing for you and if you've never tried Tremulous, or if you've never tried playing clan matches, here's a chance to rapidly dig into the game and discover many pleasant aspects involving teamplay and strategy."

With less than a day left before the registrations deadline, time is ripe for you to come in!

Thank you
