Intruder is a tactical First-Person-Shooter being developed by SuperbossGames. It is heavily influenced by the SWAT and Metal Gear series, as well as Deus Ex and many others. Development is discussed on their Intruder Blog and they have also released a series of videos about the gameplay and development on their Youtube channel.
History
http://superbossgames.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/field/image/Screen%20Shot2.jpg
The first ideas for the game were realised as a mod for Half-Life 1. Later, prototypes were made using the Unreal Tournament 2003 and UT 2004 engines. Rob and Austin met in Uni and after some time decided to switch to the Unreal Tournament 3 engine, which they used to create the first truly playable version. In early 2012, the first blog post (by Austin Roush) on superbossgames.com announced the complete remake of the game in Unity. The game now runs fully on the Unity Engine, and has been updated frequently throughout the years.
The developers have stated the following design goals: [1]
- Highly detailed world interaction in a multiplayer setting
- Stealth and cunning over rapid firefights
- Emergent gameplay through giving players many options, gadgets, and tools by which to craft their tactics
Overview
This FAQ is a list of the most frequently asked questions about the SuperbossGames release Intruder.
What is Intruder?
Intruder is a team-based stealth multiplayer FPS, utilizing unique weapons and gadgets (like mirror cameras and sensors). Gameplay is in the vein of the SWAT series, Metal Gear, Deus Ex and many others.
Can I buy the game yet?
The game is currently in limited access, and copies are regularly released in batches. When there are copies available, you can get the game for a minimum of $10 here. You have to sign up for the official SuperbossGames Forum in order to get it (be sure to read the article about TMC before registering), since the purchase will be tied to your account.

How will I be able to buy it?
The current payment options are Amazon Payments and Paypal.
Who is SuperbossGames?
Rob and Austin, the two-man team of Superboss Games responsible for Project Stormos and Intruder.
Gameplay
There are two teams; Guards and Intruders. Guards are identifiable by the purple goggles and black helmet on their heads, Intruders by the simple balaclava they wear. Using your camera-stick, sensors and leaning around corners, you must complete your objectives. Don't forget to use your radio and fingers! Finger-snapping is a team-only audio signal, so it is great for identifying teammates.
Guards, as the name implies must guard the computer-systems and/or the package(s) located within the map. To win, they must kill the entire opposing team.
Intruders must hack computers or capture the one of the packages to win. Optionally, they may kill the entire opposing team.
Guard tips:
Stick with your teammates, and occasionally check the objectives for signs of tampering;
- Opened doors
- Missing Package
- Broken or opened windows
- Computers with any number other than 0/10, 0/7, 0/5, etc.
- Dead Guards
A common strategy to secure objectives is to apply sensors to entrances, and C4 charges nearby, detonating when a sensor is tripped. Doors and other physical objects can trip sensors!
Intruder tips:
If possible, avoid direct conflict with the guards, using flanking routes such as:
- Vents
- Windows
- Backdoors
Use smoke grenades to cover your entrance and exit of rooms, CS gas to debilitate enemies, and C4 to ragdoll enemies. Using V, you can pick up sensors without tripping them!

Cliffside

In Cliffside the goal of the Intruders is to hack 3 out of 4 computer networks being guarded by the Guards. However, although unintended, this map often times turns into an elimination round, where each team kills all other members of the other team to achieve victory.
Mountainside
In Mountainside the goal of the Intruders is to hack four computer systems, or capture a Briefcase and bring it to an escape point.
Custom Maps

Last Man Standing (or LMS) is a free-for-all gamemode where the player starts with no weapons, and must instead find gadgets and items in locations around the map. Items spawn in seemingly random locations. Guns must be reloaded, ammo must be found, etc. The player must also reach a specified "Safe Zone" within a certain amount of time, or else will be eliminated. The player does not have to remain inside the "Safe Zone", but only has to touch it once during that cycle. If players remain after the timer runs out, new "Safe Zones" will appear. The number of safe zones decreases with the number of players alive. The last player alive wins after both touching a "Safe Zone" and eliminating the last player.
