KickStarter STASIS - An Indie Space Adventure Game - now with CAYNE DLC

This may be cruel...but as a bit of viral marketing...:
*The Fallout 4 we'll never have*

That's fake, there's not enough bloom. Plus everyone knows that turn-based combat was a limitation of the past. Lastly, the dialogues are too well written.


Anyway, I managed to complete the bloody surgery sequence.

What kind of sick freak makes the patient operate his own damn spine by himself? That surpasses even Umbrella in levels of hostility towards their own workers. Changing the topic, I'm now stuck at Hydroponics (which once again reminds me of System Shock 2 when the elevator fails). I have the Queen's pheromones after using the Vaporizer and everything, but I don't know what to do with it. I tried to throw the item against the insect swarm, but they eat me anyway the moment I get closer no matter what. Dunno if it's a bug (pun not intended), or I'm missing a previous step. Also, it seems you can keep milking the Queen indefinitely, but for some reason John can only carry one copy of the Queen's Milk item.

Lastly, sometimes when I open the inventory, the objects here disappear. Exiting and entering the inventory again fixes the bug though.

So you know you can attract the insects somewhere with the pheromones...where could you attract them that would kill them?

Correct me if I'm wrong, AFAIK the pre-rendered static backgrounds are in 1280x720 or some similar lower resolution, and upscaled to the user's actual resolution, hence the blurriness we experiencing. If this is the case, would it be possible to offer "HD-packs" as a separate download, that would contain the backgrounds pre-rendered in a higher resolution? Maybe in 1920x1080, 1920x1200 and 2560x1440 which are the most common resolutions used these days. What do you think?

Finished the game. 11h on the clock - 5h of beta, 6h for full game, breezing beta content really fast. So I think you can get solid 10h of it. Have got all but 2 achievements: Gassed and Mercy. I really thought I tried to kill John in all possible ways.

Game is would buy again!

you posted the pictures 40 minutes after the artist himself

 

[Islet]

Man, great game, dense and honest.

 

[Pyke]

Hey Owl - Thats not a bad idea. I will talk to the VIS guys and see if there is a fast way to increase the resolution scaling with all of the hotspots.

 

[Daedalos]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand finished !

8 hours clocked in steam says. What a ride! I reaally really enjoyed the game. It was not without a few flaws here and there, but overall a great adventure sci-fi horror game, best of its genre, really!

I rate it 5.5/6.

Some of the more detracting stuff was things like pathing for John that seemed wonky and off several places. Some of the objects were hard to spot and interact with, while others were really easy to spot and highlighted.

The resolution and rendering of the game was not optimized for higher resolutions like 1080 and beyond, which is really a shame. This means, that the game in windowed mode looks its absolute best with clear cut crisp graphics, that
really highlight how beautiful this game is.

I played the game at 1900x1080 (eventho I have a 1900x1200 monitor) and sometimes the text and textures could become abit blurry. I would sometimes switch to windowed mode just to see the contrast, and man, there is quite a difference.
Maybe someday we get a HD re-render of the scenes

The sound, music, story, graphics, presentation, puzzles, all top notch.

Can't wait to play more of Chris' games and the bonus chapter to the Cayne Corporation story!

 

[Pyke]

Thanks so much! I promise you the next game will be even better. :D

This is a great game, and I hope all the enthusiasm is translating into lots of sales. I will definitely support future projects. Will you be returning to Kickstarter?

One small problem that probably won't affect many people: When scrolling deep in the credits, with thousands of backers listed, there should be a stationary exit button, or the ability to press ESC or something, rather than having to scroll all the way back to the top in order to return to the previous screen.

With your work ethic in pulling this off, you must be some kind of posthuman game development algorithm. You should sell a webinar series: "Develop Games – the Chris Bischoff Way!" w/ headshot holding your chin in your hand…

 

[covr]

Great game Pyke, congratulations!
Now it's time to do your Codex duty and confess... how are the sales? Are you swimming in money?

Stuck at the flesh lagoon spot, I pushed the electric pole into it and there's some exposed wires but I can't find anything else to do.
