The Steam Ship

This press release announces retail plans for The Ship, the commercial release of a project that began life as a Half-Life 2 modification. The Ship Website is online with details on this "unique multiplayer PC game" from Outerlight Ltd., and while the press release mentions a September in-store date, The Ship FAQ clarifies it will also be out on Steam in May. Here's a bit:

Blending traditional first and third person gameplay with a Sims-style day-to-day needs system - including food, sleep and social interaction - The Ship offers exploration, investigation, survival, stealth, intrigue and murder across beautifully crafted decking and highly-polished interactive environments.

On the Poop Deck, The Ship proudly boasts a number of modes of gameplay including Arcade Mode offline and Hunt, Elimination, Deathmatch and Duel, all online.

The Ship's gameplay revolves around 'the Hunt'. The rules of the Hunt are simple. Each player is given the name of one of the other contestants on-board and must hunt them down and kill them with any weapon they can find. Depending on the game mode, either the last hunter alive is the winner or the one with the most money in their bank account wins.

I played the original mod for half-life when it came out. It was really fun, keeping yourself healthy while trying to murder somone without them knowing makes for some great gameplay. Looks pretty good on the source engine too.
