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

[circ]

@ Cynic, he will probably do some sort of fan-art for Project Eternity, like he did for Wasteland 2, so we can see what a fantasy RPG he did would look like. *holding thumbs*

@ circ, STASIS is a 'pure' adventure game. No RPG mechanics (but apparently there is some cool stuff like med kits and shit, so it may have some other genre's spliced in). I think if STASIS does well, he could probably be convinced to kickstart an RPG or something.

Hmm, if it's going anywhere near the game Blade Runner, I can live with adventure too.

No chance for a Codex interview?

If he does that cRPG oh hell yes. We would definitely interview him!

So... since Primordia is getting a Codex interview I see no reason why the Stasis guy shouldn't be interviewed now?

 

[Koplin]

New gameplay video.

 

[General Maxson]

Looking great, as always. Why doesn't Codex do an interview? I want more info.

 

[Aeschylus]

Probably because this is the RPG Codex and not the Adventure Codex.

 

[Jaesun]

Actually he is a HUGE fan of cRPG's like Fallout and Wasteland (IIRC).

 

[Outlander]

Looking awesome as usual. I wonder if that music is supposed to be playing through the PA system?

You do know we have an "Adventure Gaming" forum section that is pretty active? Or are you too drunk and/or retarded to notice you are posting in one?

I do would like to get an interview with the guy, so I'm pinging Crooked Bee - do the interview with this guy!

Im sure it is. You can hear it change when he goes into the sewers.

 

[evdk]

The game looks great (plus it's scifi and the last scifi adventure I remember playing is Mission Critical) but I am very butthurt about the cursor.

Would love to, but no time, sorry.

I may be drunk, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong. Point me to the last interview posted on the front page that is entirely unrelated to the RPG genre or any sub-genre and I will happily eat crow. I love adventure games, but if having a subform here = part of the main website content then I'd expect the WCDS folks to start posting interviews with coked-up neo nazis any day now.

Also, fuck you, guy.

 

[Koplin]

Why dont we all come up with a bunch of questions and email him? Ive mail him before, and he has replied.

Are we going to start an argument about how including the "I love PS:T" bits in the Primordia interview made it totally cRPG related?

Bloom - "Action adventure with a dose of RPG" on Kickstarter Not that much RPG in what I've seen.
[Quickie Nr. 003] Konjad and Pathologic
Yet Another Interplay Promo at GOG.com

All this only tangentially related to RPGs. In case of Pathologic - not at all! And there were news about Mass Effect on the front page and you won't ever convince me that this is an RPG.

STASIS looks awesome and atmospheric and seems isometric which is enough to make a lot of people here wet their pants. So fuck you, tranny, Aeschylus.

 

[Aeschylus]

I did specify interview (which none of those are), but since there was one for Primordia on the front page -- which I somehow did not notice -- I admit I was wrong and bow to Crooked Bee's power to diversify the Codex. I think it might be the first one ever though.

And fuck you... um... eunuch.

Not first one ever. Jason did an interview with Dave Gilbert of Wadjet Eye a couple of years ago, so there had been precedent.

On that note, if any of you guys should come up with a good list of question and get the developer of this game to answer them, we'll gladly publish your interview as official Codex content. It's just that no staff member currently has the time for it or wants to do it.

 

[Outlander]

Not even Jaesun?

 

[Blaine]

What I'd like to know is whether or not he'll have a grammarian proofread the text prior to release.

 

[A user named cat]

Killer visuals and atmosphere, looks pretty cool. First time seeing this. That cursor is pretty bad though and way too big. Also the damn "bloooop" + reverb every single time you interact with something seems irritating.

 

[Keshik]

Looks pretty good, never even heard of this before. Cursor needs to be a smidge smaller.

In my opinion, one of the most important things in building a really strong IP is to ensure that you don’t just focus on one aspect of it.
.
If STAR WARS just had the movies, it wouldn’t have been anywhere close to embedding itself in the consciousness of the world. The fact that it expanded to toys, novels, comics, animations, and games ensured that everyone, who had even a passing interest in the world, got to experience it.
If you think about the larger, more successful gaming IP’s, they have expanded into many different areas. I own toys from Bioshock, and Dead Space (2 of my absolute favorite universes), novels, comic books, and animated films. It forms a greater connection to the characters, the world, and their experiences in it.
.
But, as an indie, how do we take advantage of that?
.
Those companies have millions to spend on things. They can contract out novelists, artists, and entire companies to create extended media for them.
The difference is that indies have access to a WEALTH of resources that other larger companies cant touch. OTHER INDIES. There are thousands of comic book artists, film makers, game makers, and musicians out there. People that create for the sheer passion of creation. And I know from personal experience, that artists are always willing to help each other out.
One of the most terrifying things for an artist is a blank canvas. There are people out there who are staring at the blank sheet of paper, who WANT to produce content, but don’t know where to start. If you have a ready made world, it becomes A LOT easier for people to create inside of it. There is a reason there are more Star Wars fan-film projects out there than you can shake a wookie at. The world is there. The rules are there. Creative people actually ENJOY working within boundaries.
.
If you have an existing fan base, or you are looking for a way to expand your world, contact other independant artists.
If you are an artist who struggles lookng for inspiration, contact someone who is working on a project that inspires you.
With an ‘indie collective’ working on a single Intellectual Property, you can create a world even richer than those of Activision, and EA.

Could be pretty cool to get a STASIS movie, sort of like the Dead Space ones.

He also did some really cool wallpapers:
