Kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/858695532/space-shock-0
http://indiestatik.com/2013/01/03/space-grimrock-has-a-name-space-shock/
I was alerted to this gem in the stickied Indie RPG thread here. It looks amazing. A couple of things:
-It appears to take place in a spaceship, like system shock 2
-It's a real time blobber. Grid Based movement.
-Appears to have horror elements like System Shock 2
-Party based, full char gen
-Unlike Grimrock which had traits for pcs only at char gen, Spaceshock seems to have have many traits to choose from at level up. This is great, and something sorely missing in Grimrock
-Lots of Psi powers.
-Weapons include guns, rifles and ofcrouse futuristic weapons. no mention of melee yet, but I bet they are in there. I'm already thinking about making my Psi guy a melee warrior as well. (aka Jedi!)
-Ability to split the party up, so It's definitely possible to do stealth and possibly stealth kills.
-Greenlit on Steam
-Will be entering Kickstarter soon (will be backing this for sure.) 99% confirmed to reach it's goal whatever that may be.
Looks so sweet. The Kickstarter pitch video should have glimpses of gameplay, so I am amped for that. Only issue I have is that you have a 3 person party instead of at least 4, if not 6. But looking at the screenies and the small hallways, I suppose it makes sense as more than 3 people won't fit abreast. Plus is means all 3 can be in the 'frontline'. But I do wish they had the option of at least one more PC, even if he/she was in the backrow...with mostly guns and ranged weapons everyone should be able to attack.
One negative kind of thing I note is it appears rules light stat wise: There are only 4 attributes for instance. No mention of any skills. Also, there is apparently some movie coming out also called Spaceshock (www.spaceshock.com) so they may have to change their name. I hope they do...spaceshock gives the impression of some type of arcade game (system shock was a great name for a game though)
If anyone knows anything more about this post here. I don't think there is even an official website for this yet. Would also love to know who is making this, Kwans or someone else.
