Repeated intro
Hello supporters of CTF1. Thank you to everyone who has wishlisted the game so far. I want to start off by mentioning the game is finally about to start moving forward again. I want to apologize for anyone that has not received a reply from me in the last year. The game still needs some work but here's some information on what's to come.

Capture the Flag - CTF 1 changes
I am creating a Kickstarter campaign. Here's the link if you're interested in the kinds of rewards you can receive for donating. Show off your early support at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ripstargaming/capture-the-flag-video-game-feel-like-a-kid-again-ctf
Here's my game plan moving forward:
The plan to get things moving again is to first update the game to the newest UE version. Once the game is updated to the latest Unreal Engine, several bugs will need to be fixed & tested... and fixed. Once the game is running smoothly in full 5v5 games, it will need to be made available on cloud servers since it is currently only playable on local networks. Next comes multiplayer coding and integration with cloud servers. After multiplayer is setup, player stats, rankings and leaderboards will need to be added, tracked within games, and made displayable within player lobbies.
If everything seems to be working correctly, it is time to add minor details with design, music, sound fx, etc. It is also time for early access testing. Exciting! I will notify backers far ahead of time for when to expect an invitation email from me and when the game is ready for testing, an email will be sent with an invitation to the game.
After everything seems to be stable, it's launch time baby!
Note: Features such as tournaments may not be available immediately after launch but the game should function correctly for the most part on release.
The biggest risk to this project is that it may take longer to develop than planned but I promise I will keep everyone up to date with all of the upcoming changes as they happen. I also promise that I will be transparent with you through every step of the way no matter what happens.
Please consider taking a look at the CTF1 Kickstarter campaign titled "Capture the Flag - Video Game | Feel like a kid again (CTF)"
