IndiraLightfoot 5,713 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Brave of Augustín to jump another KS bandwagon, I'm still waiting for his Asylum, so I'll give this a miss. Overall, I have been much more careful with my money over at Kickstarter. Also, there haven't been any projects that really have wowed me enough as of late. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" *** Link to post Share on other sites

Total immersion is an understatement. The only problem is the motion sickness... Total immersion my ass. We won't have total immersion until they put out these: I keed I keed. I'm excited about Oculus too, but I'm waiting at least 2 more iterations before I even consider getting in on it.

rjshae 9,652 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Impact Winter "Impact Winter is a post-apocalyptic survival RPG that deals with the themes of leadership, teamwork, isolation and survival. You play the role of Jacob Solomon: leader of a group of survivors holed-up in a remote church. The game is set 8 years after ‘the catastrophe’: an asteroid collision that's decimated Earth’s population and triggered Impact Winter - a form of ice age that's lowered the planet’s temperature and buried it under constant snowfall. The game begins with Ako-Light - your android companion - intercepting a mysterious broadcast claiming that help will arrive in 30 days. Your aim is simple... survive!" "You play Jacob Solomon: team leader, decision maker and the person responsible for providing the group’s supplies and resources. Your team is comprised of 4 other survivors, brought together through circumstance and each with their own skills and personalities. Your NPC colleagues have automated behavior and will remain inside the Church, guarding it from threats and undertaking the tasks you assign to them. Each team member will be an asset to the group through use of their unique skills. If the required stats (and supplies) are high enough, these skills can be utilized to help aid your survival. Keeping the group alive will be crucial to your cause. If a team member dies their skills become unavailable. There's no going back!" Looks like it might be interesting. 1 "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats." Link to post Share on other sites
