Information

Arcadia at War

Players fought for control of the map using futuristic vehicles and weapons, including helicopters, tanks, rayguns, and a massive space frigate.

Setting

Human Colony Planet

Cyrus VII took place on Arcadia, a human colony planet caught in a conflict between humanity and the Covenant Empire.

Objective

Point Control

Victory was determined by whether the United Nations Space Command or the Covenant Empire secured the most strategic points on the battlefield.

Sandbox

Vehicles and Weapons

The game supported large battlefield moments built around vehicles, futuristic weapons, air combat, armor, and a capital ship presence.

Outcome

Public Release

The project eventually shut down because sustaining the experience required too much workload for its limited profitability.

Drop Pod System

Orbital Deployment

The drop pod system was the largest personal build in the project, developed over several months as a Halo-inspired orbital deployment feature for soldiers and Spartans.

Solo and Team Drops

The system supported both solo and team drop modes. In team mode, a custom UI displayed up to 10 players and their avatars before deployment.

Drop Pod #1 acted as the team leader with authority to release every pod from the ship. Triggering release played a cinematic cutscene with music, then handed players control of their descent so they could navigate the landing location with the mouse.
