Hey Tigsource!

After 3 years of development, I'm bringing STASIS to Kickstarter!

Please also click the link below to get the demo!

The campaign will be launched tomorrow, but until then please try the game out and let me know what you think!

John Maracheck awakes from Stasis on the Groomlake, a seemingly derelict spacecraft.
This repurposed mining ship, conveniently outside of the jurisdictional influence of Earth, is in a decaying orbit around the gas giant – Neptune.

Cayne Corporation is a trillion dollar, multinational company which has played a pivotal role in human technological, medical and scientific advancement for decades. The Groomlake is operated by this conglomerate and provides a secret platform for horrific experimentation and illicit research.

John is in tremendous pain, his wife and daughter are missing and time is running out as the Groomlake plunges further into the swirling blue methane clouds.

Taking control of John, the player must interact with the environment and complete puzzles to progress further in the story and explore the Groomlake’s mysteries.

The graphics are created from highly detailed, two-dimensional artwork that is drawn from an isometric view point.

Inspired by the adventure game Sanitarium and the art of Crusader No Remorse; Stasis has a unique visual aesthetic that brings this horrifying tale to life.

Stasis delves into the struggle between good and evil while delivering a fun and challenging adventure experience and an epically engaging story.

The world of Stasis harkens back to Sci-Fi classics like Alien, Event Horizon and Sunshine.
It is set in a time of blurred morality, where corporate pursuit of profit outweigh the rights of the few.
In this dystopian future, an ordinary man must make the best of an extraordinary situation and save his family.

nice pictures you put togethre in photoshop with some gui elements to trick people on kickstatrer

i see this guy appears to be a troll. (not op, the guy above me)

I gathered from his previous posts!

I'm getting a "The procedure entry point FlsGetValue could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll" when trying to run it on my WinXP setup.

Also, the comments section on your blog is messed up for me. All comments are in plain text and there are no fields to submit new comments. This is both in Firefox and Explorer.

Hey Christian, that seems to be a common issue when running newer software on WinXP machines. Thanks for the heads up! I have adjusted the requirements accordingly!


I checked on my office PC's and my iPad, and it seems to be working this side. Perhaps the issue is in DISQUS compatibility?

Guess I'll have to play it on my wife's Windows 7 machine then. ;)

And you're right, I just checked some other sites that I know use DISQUS and I'm getting the same issue there. I guess they must have updated their client recently.

Looks awesome. Baldur's Gate + Monkey Island + ... space.

I think your screenshots look very great. Looking forward to some gameplay.

Here's a couple of videos playing through part of the demo:

Hey guys,

I think I have a fix that works for the XP Bug.

Head over to http://www.stasisgame.com/getstasis/ and check it out. There is also a new version ( alpha 1.002 ) for you to try out!

MARK MORGAN


The unbelievably talented composer of FALLOUT 1, FALLOUT 2, FALLOUT 3: New Vegas and Planescape Torment joins STASIS.

Fallout... I still remember the very first time the vault doors closed behind me. A rat ran across my path, I pulled out my pistol and watched with glee as my bullets ripped through its ribcage.

Fallout was a seminal gaming experience for me and made me instantly fall in love with the Role Playing genre. But, in all honesty, what really shaped the Fallout world for me was the music. The sounds of the wasteland will always stir a very special feeling inside me. You could hear the wind of the desert blowing through each note. Each town had a unique sound and as I listen to the soundtrack now, I can feel the emotions I felt when I first explored the California wastes.

With that still in mind, I am extremely proud to announce that STASIS will be scored by composer, Mark Morgan; whose unknowing influence on my game was evident from the first time I sat down to create this world.

Mark Morgan has musically illustrated so many of the worlds that I have been lost in: Zork Nemesis, Zork Grand Inquisitor, Planescape Torment, Fallout 1, Fallout 2 and Fallout: New Vegas (to name but a few). Now with future work to look forward to - the soundtracks of Wasteland 2, Project Eternity and Torment: Tides Of Numenera.

Mark Morgan says, “At my first glimpse of STASIS, I was completely blown away by its Deep Beauty. This is destined to be EPIC!"

BETA ACCESS (LIMITED NUMBER AVAILABLE)

If you would like to participate in the final Beta of STASIS, now you can!
At our limited $59 tier, you will be able to play the final Beta of STASIS, at least a month before the full release.

All tiers above $59 will automatically be entered into the Beta. You will also be listed as a Beta Tester on the website and in the STASIS game credits.

This is a LIMITED Kickstarter Exclusive Offer and will not be repeated after the Kickstarter Campaign, so if you want Beta access, please pledge now.

MAC OS X SUPPORT

One of the most requested Stretch Goals has been Mac support.

We know that other Kickstarter campaigns have added this as their Stretch Goal, and we definitely want as many players as possible to experience what's lurking in the bowels of the Groomlake. Therefore, we aren't adding Mac support as a Stretch Goal - we are committing to bring Mac gamers the world of STASIS as soon as we are fully funded.

You can head over to www.stasisgame.com/getstasis right now and try out the OSX Alpha demo immediately!

DELUXE BOX

An extra pretty version of the STASIS box design is now available at reward tiers $99 and up. This Special Edition box has a foil design, embossed logo polished high gloss surface. The Deluxe Box design is Kickstarter Exclusive and won't be available after the campaign ends, it is also LIMITED at the $99 tier.

BACKER ONLY WALLPAPER

Tomorrow the Backer Only wallpaper will become available. I have spent several days crafting this image and you will not be disappointed. Pledge $5 or more and this beauty is yours at HD and larger.

Finally, I want to say thank you for backing STASIS. Keep the adventure alive.
