    Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine last edited by franzlska on 06/05/21 09:17PM View full history

    Overview

    Monaco is a co-operative game for 1-4 players where the goal is to sneak into a building and steal specific objects, be it money, jewelry, or high profile documents, in the style of heist movies. There are eight different classes, each with their own special abilities and weapons, and all the players have to work as a team to finish the objective. The game is playable by up to 4 people both offline and online, and was released on PC & Mac on April 24th 2013 and XBLA the following May. The game was made using XNA, and has also been ported to a multi-console engine by Empty Clip Games, meaning it works on many consoles and handhelds, but whether the game is released on these platforms is still undecided.

    Awards

    Before the game was even complete or publicly released, it won two awards at the 2010 Independent Games Festival Awards: the Excellence in Design Award and the Seumas McNally Grand Prize. It should also be noted that at the time, the game had only been in development for roughly five weeks. The prototype submitted for the IGF, then titled Monte-Carlo, was made available as a pre-order bonus for the PC version of the game.

    Story

    Set in the titular micro-state of Monaco, and the story involves a group of criminals who escape prison and decide to pull off some heists around the country. Narration will unfold as a series of voice overs at the beginning of each level, told by a member of the crew.

    Classes

    The eight classes in Monaco each have their own set of passive and active abilities. Before the game's launch only four classes have had their specific information shown, with the rest to be revealed when the game is released.
