2023 video game

Meet Your Maker is a first-person shooter video game developed and published by Behaviour Interactive. In the game, players are tasked to build and raid user-generated outposts filled with traps and guards. The game was released for Windows PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X and Series S in April 2023.

Gameplay[edit]

In the game, players can build their own outposts and share them online.

Meet Your Maker is set in a post-apocalyptic world in which players must construct an outpost and infiltrate those created by other players. The infiltrating player must grab “GenMat”, genetic materials that are found in the center of each outpost, and escape the outpost with it. Players can raid an outpost solo or with another player. Players are equipped with a variety of firearms, grenades, a grappling hook and a melee weapon. Players are encouraged to leave words of recognition that describe their experience after raiding an outpost.

While creating an outpost, players must ensure that there is viable path for other players to reach the GenMat. A harvester robot will inform them whether the GenMat is accessible. They can then fortify the path with a variety of traps, as well as guards controlled by artificial intelligence to fend off other infiltrating players. Once the construction is completed, players can test and share their creations with other players online. They can further iterate its design by watching how other players attempt to raid it.[1] Both building and raiding outposts will grant players resources that allow them to further upgrade their traps and weapons in their own outposts.[2]

Development[edit]

Meet Your Maker was developed by Behaviour Interactive, the developers behind Dead by Daylight. Early previews compared the game to Doom, Super Mario Maker and Minecraft.[3] To ensure that the game is balanced, there is a maximum build capacity for each outpost, though this limit can be further increased through upgrades. The game was playable in first-person perspective as the team felt that it highlights the claustrophobic setting, making the experience more immersive. Traps in the game cannot fire at players until they are identified, thus giving time for the invading players to react.[4]

The game was officially announced in August 2022.[5] An open beta for the game ran from February 7 to February 13, 2023. It was released for Windows PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X and Series S on April 4, 2023;[6] it was made available on the PlayStation Plus subscription service as a day-one release.[7]
