zeroXgen

Welcome to the first public release of zeroXgen!!!

zeroXgen is a fantasy underwater sports game , requiring accuracy, nimble controls and an inclination towards fantasy sports.

zeroXgen is inspired by Blitzball, which is a mini-game featured in the popular RPG Final Fantasy 10. The main difference in zeroXgen to its inspiration is the 360 degree freedom of movement and the reliance on realtime action gameplay, to convey a feeling of freedom and flexibility.

Update 2020 08 11

Ive updated the downloads with a version of zeroXgen that should be easier to run on Onboard gfx and slower performance pc setups. Im not guaranteeing a flawless performance of the game , but I have tested it on an Intel i3 with dedicated gfx : HD 2500. Option to turn off bloom is available for slower pcs.
