Yet another team that started our making a mod is trying to join the ranks of the professional game developers. This time the team is called Spiral Game Studios who announced last week that it would be releasing its first game, the sci-fi multiplayer shooter Orion: Prelude, in early 2011.

The team has already released a free Source Engine-based mod (you need an Source Engine-based game to run) but Orion: Prelude will be using Unreal Engine 3 as its base. The team is promising seven multiplayer levels, drivable vehicles, 30 weapons and items, two gameplay modes and best of all, dinosaurs. Yep, T-Rexes will be in the game and the development team is promising "plenty of ways to interact with them, them to each other, them to structures and plenty more." A teaser trailer showing off Orion: Prelude in action is promised for September 4.
