A self described “tweedpunk” videogame. You play a human character stuck on an archipelago being hunted for sport by tea-drinking English robots and their dogs. Your objective is to escape. It’s primarily a stealth and survival game. There’s the standard light-based stealth as well as a custom foliage stealth system. All the levels are procedurally generated.

It’s been worked on for quite a while but they’ve decided they need a bit of money via Kickstarter to finish the game off.

Out of all the indie games I’ve seen in development this one is the most exciting for me. I wish the Kickstarter donations weren’t in pounds though because it’s so expensive.

Reminds me of the Futurama episode 31st Century Fox.

#3

Wow, this actually looks pretty awesome.

#4

Alpha gameplay.

Edit: Also

:awesome:

I had my doubts about the procedurally generated terrain, which in my experience tend to be inferior to hand-built levels, but after watching that video it seems like it could actually be perfect for this game.

#6

I’ve been looking for a STALKER-esque game to play, and have been following this for a while. Good to see they’re nearly at their goal, I’ll definitely be picking this up when it comes out.

#7

When I looked at that screenshot, I instantly thought “OBLIVION!!!”.

#8

Oblivion had a completely different inventory system from that.

#9

They’ve made their goal and have made a couple of stretch goals.

And the next stretch goal will add balloon spotters/snipers.

#10

So, is there a way to win this game, or is it just a case of holding out for as long as you can?

#11

As far as I know you have to survive while trying to find pieces of a machine that will help you get off the island.

Four thousand more pounds until the final enemy addon and another ten thousand after that for multiplayer. I don’t care about the multiplayer but I at least want that final enemy. So get to pledging people!

#12

So, did anyone else think of this game while watching Skyfall?

#13

$80,000 stretch goal was reached, so multiplayer will be in shortly after the game’s release. Final stretch goal is $100,000 and adds full character customization for both single and multiplayer as well as a third person option. Don’t think we’ll get there though it would be nice to.

#14

So the game was funded and there have been a few updates. Most recent update is some new animations for the robots. Regular updates from now on too which I hope means weekly at least. Here’s the video

Fantastic animations, can’t wait for this game.

#16

:lol:

Still waiting for another major update though.

#17

Those animations are fucking great! I wish they had nicer models though :T

#18

New update.

Mostly about the procedural generation stuff including tailoring it to how you like and trying to make each island feel different. Ax combat is good apparently too and there’s some concept art for different enemies at the end. Some screenshots throughout too.

Sunrise looks pretty nice

#19

this thing sounds fun but the whole aesthetic with the guns and robots and shit is so horrid

#20

I’m not sure if it’s the aesthetic or the execution.

If they were high quality assets using these designs, I’d be more for it… these kinda suck.
