The team at Distinct Possibility Studios are seasoned veterans, with deep roots in MMORPGs and other top-tier shooters. Game veterans John Smedley, Matt Higby, and Trammel Isaac have worked on some of the biggest titles over several decades. They are channeling that experience into the future of top tier shooters.
“We are moving toward the next level of persistent FPS combat. Players want a world they can live in and build upon. Having a solid base is only the start in Reaper Actual. Once faction missions interweave with PvP combat, the world becomes a swirling battleground of options for players. Mix that with a full crafting system and Reapers will grow every time you log in to play,” said Chief Creative Officer Matt Higby.
Together, with a core team in their San Diego offices and co-developed with Big Moxi Games, one of LATAM’s premier studios, Distinct Possibility Studios plans to lead the next great generation of Open-World Persistent Shooters.
“Our studio has been working hard for two years on Reaper Actual. We like to make big games and our goal is to build a dynamic world where every battle matters. Our team is excited to show what we have built to the fans who have been with us for decades, added” - Distinct Possibility Studios CEO John Smedley.
Distinct Possibility Studios has successfully raised over $30.5 million in funding led by Bitkraft and Brevan Howard Digital, with participation from the Tezos Foundation, Hashed, Delphi Ventures, Shima Capital, North Island Ventures, Decasonic, and others to launch Reaper Actual.
“We believe that often in games the magic happens at the intersection of two genres. We think Distinct Possibility Studios is a great example of this thesis. We see that magic happening with their Open-World Persistent Shooter Reaper Actual which mixes the MMORPG and FPS genres in a truly unique way. We couldn’t be more excited than to back veterans of franchises like EverQuest, PlanetSide and H1Z1” - Carlos Pereira, General Partner at BITKRAFT Ventures.
Key Features:
- Persistent World - Victories and defeats reshape the island’s control between PvP fights and NPC factions in real-time. Players will have a progression and crafting system to build the best gear, all of which stays in the world.
- Player Bases - These strongholds host crafting, weapon production, and the ability to defend your home turf. Fortify your position, because both NPC factions and other players can raid your base. If it goes bad, do not worry, gather your allies and seek revenge with your own raid.
- Dynamic Narrative Progression - Hand crafted story arcs seamlessly merge with an in-game mission system. Players are constantly drawn into conflict, not just against each other, but against the island’s relentless native factions. You may get a mission to capture an enemy leader, while others will get a mission to defend them. This interwoven story network gives Reapers their own personal story.
- Combat and Skills - Precision gunplay, cover systems, and squad coordination are critical for battles. Reapers can also unlock and craft land, sea and air vehicles to make the world of REAPER ACTUAL fully traversable.
- Player-Driven Economy - Craft, trade, and influence a dynamic in-game economy which puts creativity into the Reapers hands. Reapers do not just build guns, but gear as well. Night vision goggles, comms devices, and vehicles may hold the key to victory.
