KickStarter INSOMNIA: The Ark - dieselpunk sci-fi action-RPG set on a decaying space station

Another trailer:

 

There will be more news today

 

I´m cautiosly optimistic about this game

 

How do you like the soundtrack for this one?

 

It's good.

 

When I backed this on kickstarter years ago I had a certain quality of game in mind -

I'll say the past couple trailers have really exceeded my expectations, at least graphically and effects wise. The animations are pretty outstanding too! I'm really excited to finally dive into this soon!

 

Well, this is one kickstarter I did not back up ... because I don't trust Russians with my money. At the time there were at least 2 scams from ex-Soviet space - they took the money and ran.

But I have to say that visually this game is porn and I will buy it 1st day (*even if I hate RT combat)

 

Like a release date? I have to admit I’ve been very skeptical about this project but that was a damn fine trailer. So in keeping with the dieselpunk setting:

Thank you people!

Release is planned for the end of Summer / early September. Other details I mentioned include something else. Will post on Kickstarter in a few hours.

 

I was a bit surprised by the use of old swing music over scenes of violence from the game - at what point does homage become sheer ripoff? - but I guess it's still better than edgy techno or something. Looks like it's really shaping up, glad I backed.

 

The guys at the studio wanted some country music playing in the first iteration of the video and it was far less suiting than this one.

 

If the gameplay and story are even halfway the level of the graphics and art direction, this gon be gud.

 

I really like the aesthetic of this game! Well done.

 

Come a long way since the vertical slice - looks mint

 

Thanks for this positive feedback! So, as promised, here is some additional info in our latest Kickstarter update.

 

Hm, the KS update says the new trailer was "shot using in-engine footage". Was the entire trailer 100% in-engine? If so, I'm even more impressed. INSOMNIA_The_Ark

 

Yeah we have no budget for Guillermo del Toro, so it's all good old Unreal Engine 4 and some nifty work with animations.

 

Closed beta end of the month for backers - this makes me happy!

 

Yeah, is it for all backers? I backed the first ks.

 

Well this depends on your pledge. I mean we would gladly give access to beta to all our backers (damn you've been waiting for so long after all), however at the same time this would be unfair for backers who pledged moe just to get that early beta access in the first place. So basically this first closed beta is for these backers exclusively while we can still do more beta tests for the rest of the backers a bit later.

 

I don't even remember, i prob. pledged just for the game tho, no early beta access.

 

I can check it for you if you tell me your Kickstarter name/email (you can PM me).

 

Holy shit. I never thought I would feel hyped about this game. I thought wrong. Looking great, INSOMNIA_The_Ark!

 

Thanks!

PS. apparently our game was picked as "Best Desktop Game" and also got "Excellence in Visual Art" at today's DevGAMM Moscow 2018 Awards event. Hooray to that!

 

Is this a real award or is Insomnia the best desktop game in the same way that Zinoviev was conspiring with Trotsky?
