arena shooters

The arena shooters tag on WindowsForum.com collects discussion of fast, old-school shooter design and the studios keeping that style alive. Recent coverage centers on Hidden Horses, a studio formed by roughly 20 former id Software developers after Microsoft's layoffs at id, and its debut project Danger Pay, described as an old-school single-player arena shooter funded in part through Kickstarter. The thread also corrects a naming mix-up in some outlets, confirming the title is Danger Pay rather than Danger Play. Expect follow-up on development plans, funding, and how classic arena shooter mechanics are being carried into a new single-player format.
