'''''Installation 01''''' is an upcoming [[fangame|fan-made]] [[first-person shooter]] video game based on the [[Halo (franchise)|''Halo'' series]], developed by Soon Studios (previously known as The Installation 01 Team) for [[Microsoft Windows]], [[macOS]], and [[Linux]] operating systems in [[Unreal Engine 5]]. |
||
==Gameplay== |
|||
''Installation 01'' is a [[shooter game]] where players primarily experience gameplay from a first-person perspective. The game aims is to recreate the 'classic' Halo multiplayer experience found in the original trilogy created by [[Bungie Studios]], as per the developers, whilst still producing new and innovative content<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://installation01.org/about|title=About {{!}} Installation 01|website=installation01.org|access-date=2017-04-15}}</ref>. There are no current plans for a single-player campaign. |
|||
Much of the gameplay takes place on foot, but also includes segments focused on [[vehicle|vehicular]] combat - more information on the available array of vehicles is forthcoming at the time of writing<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://installation01.org/updates/1490820938|title=Super Ultra Extended Q&A Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX Plus Alpha {{!}} Installation 01|website=installation01.org|access-date=2017-04-15}}</ref>. The available weaponry focuses on the original trilogy armoury, but will include additions from the Halo modding community and several custom-built versions of later Halo weaponry. Players may [[dual wield|dual-wield]] some weapons, forgoing the use of grenades and melee attacks in favor of the combined firepower of two weapons. |
|||
The game is currently set to include all Halo 3 game types, with players able to create Custom Games of their own devising or play several Installation 01 original game types. It includes armor customization options similar to those found in Halo 3 and Halo Reach, with additional character armor models still forthcoming.<ref name=":0" /> |

Installation 01 has been in development since late 2013, as a hobby project for Alexander Rogic (TheChunkierBean)<ref>http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=44702</ref>. During 2014, a team was assembled for the project and a demo was completed for for the Halo: Custom Edition livestream known as CE3. |

The CE3 demo consisted of 1 multiplayer map (a remake of High Ground) and only had the option of Slayer for gamemodes. Each game hosted could support a maximum of 16 players. Only two guns were present in the demo: the Assault Rifle and the Sniper Rifle.

Installation 01 is an upcoming fan-made first-person shooter video game based on the Halo series, developed by Soon Studios (previously known as The Installation 01 Team) for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems in Unreal Engine 5.
Development
[edit]Installation 01 is a fan-made, multiplayer-only[1] project originally designed in Unity for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux by Soon Studios.[2][3][4] The intent is to replicate the multiplayer gameplay of Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 4, and Halo 5 as a tribute to the series of games—with a specific target of Halo 3—and to do so without re-use of Microsoft assets.[5] The game is named after the Halo ring created by the Forerunner race in the Halo universe.[6]
The studio planned to support some features from later Halo games, but only in custom game modes.[5][7] Game artist Seth H. described a tension in the art and game design of Installation 01 caused by the Halo series' individual game designs.[7] They plan to provide map-making tools.[7]
An extremely-early version of the game was displayed in August 2014.[3] In November 2015, the game was displayed with functional multiplayer in "very small counts" of players; Kotaku noted that the game had not progressed far since August 2014.[3] The team sought to have a playable version of the video game in Q4 2016.[2] The studio was composed of over 30 people at this time.[4]
A test for the multiplayer mode was scheduled for November 2016, with plans for a later single-player mode.[4] At the time, the studio had made a number of familiar game elements, as well as both refreshed and remade versions of certain game maps.[8] Animation polish and additional gameplay elements remained.[8] Kotaku said the game was progressing well in March 2017.[9] In May, a cinematic trailer was released,[1] which featured character and weapons models based on Halo 3 designs.[10] Animator Matthew Lake animated a trailer for both his final academic assignment and to generate excitement for the game.[11] The game's release date was still unknown.[10] In July 2023, the studio announced it would be switching the project to Unreal Engine 5.[12] In November 2023, an early development post was made on Twitter, showcasing a playtest in Unreal Engine 5. Some art assets have been used in the new engine, but Soon Studios clarified that they're doing the programming from scratch.
There has not been a publicly available build throughout development, and there is no release date.
Legality
[edit]Soon Studios approached Microsoft around August 2016 regarding Microsoft's intellectual property, but did not receive a reply at the time.[5] GameSpot also inquired, without receiving a response.[5] In June 2017, Soon Studios announced their ongoing communication with 343 Industries and Microsoft.[13][14][15] The studio has been transparent with 343 Industries regarding plans for the game. 343 Industries confirmed that the developers are "not under imminent legal threat".[6] Installation 01's development is covered under Microsoft's Game Content Usage Rules, as long as the game remains non-commercial.[13][16] He elaborates that they will never accept donations, or sell Installation 01 or Halo related merchandise as to keep a respectful distance between the studio and Microsoft's intellectual property. He also notes that these rules and assurances from Microsoft are specific to Installation 01 as a project, and do not apply elsewhere.[14][15]
