We're Back! Stop the Planet has a playable demo and is on target for release.

22 October, 2015 - Roen

First thing you'll notice is a fresh new look. We also have a demo, and you can test the game right now. We are not entirely out of hot water yet though. Our kickstarter will help us with the few expenses we've had as the project was revived and our pockets melted.

But we still want you to be in the game with your ideas, weapon designs, and names where possible. Download the demo here: http://kck.st/1GX8yLt

The core ideas behind the game have remained the same or improved. Scavenge resources, make choices that really matter, a compelling (yet somewhat crazy) story, and find rare weapons and technology as an action shooter. We even have an RPG shop system :0

And yes, there are zombies (if you want them) What do I mean by that? A critical choice in the story may actually kill them all off. Time to move on from zombies, right? Too many zombie games! Aliens are the real threat, there deceiving and overly dramatic

Map Travel, Stronghold, & Scenario Choices

17 May, 2013 - Roen

Update #1 · May 17, 2013

I've also pasted this details on the kickstarter page as well. I want to go into more detail of how the game works and the type of experience I am creating. I made a video to go with it on the Kickstarter page.

MAP TRAVEL, STRONGHOLD, & SCENARIO CHOICES

Map Travel
1) Zombies slowly eat the game world and the last place they reach is your stronghold.
2) Once a map area is "consumed" you can no longer go there.
3) You can push zombie back by completing certain quests and killing mass numbers of them. This opens up new map areas to explore that were consumed.
4) Zombies will eventually eat the whole planet. Unless you find a way to stop them, you'll need to find another way to survive.

Stronghold
1) Given to the player during the story. It has alien tech and needs to be repaired and upgraded.
2) Won't do you any good unless you restore power and kill the bandits guarding it.
3) Discover new technologies and make the stronghold a powerful "Final Stand" base.

Scenario Choices
1) Choices include: What you bring into the event with you (learned blueprints), A or B options, and penalties and rewards.
2) Example scenario in game You come across a man alone in a field. It turns out he's trapped in the middle of a minefield and must have been going after the supply stock on the other side. A supply stock that looks to have some unique items.
As you talk to him, he must have been out there a long time, cause he's kinda crazy. He wants you to save him. There are options.

a) You can leave for now, and see if you can find or build a metal detector.
b) You remember seeing chickens earlier. You can catch and release them in the minefield.
c) You can tell him you already removed the mines, and he will walk out, die, and then you may have a clear path to the stock pile for yourself ha ha ha.
d) You "the player" use your own idea.

Consequence
a) You save him and he takes the stockpile for himself
b) He tells you the location of other survivors
c) He teaches you a new gathering technique
* You can write scenarios as part of the kickstarter

EDIT 3: Next update with be Crafting, Blueprints, & Base Building

Description

Release date: February (2016)

Were back!:

Stop the Planet is a simplistic game with incredible ideas, choices, craziness and puzzle solving. The story is so epic, you'll be blown away when you finally piece it together. I can't tell you the vision without spoiling the game sadly.

Your goal in this game is to get off the planet before it is destroyed. It is up to the player to figure out how to do that. We don't tell you where to go or what to do.

Your actions determine if you survive. You can harvest resources to build, trade, and form relationships. There are three types of currencies: Gold, ammo, and food.

FEATURES:
1) Exploration & survival- Survive anyway you can. You are not told what to do or where to go.
2) Resource gathering - There are 7 resource types in total. We have gold, ammo, and food for currencies. Metal & wood for repairs, building, and weapon making. Explosive ammo, and time.
3) Scenario’s - Scripted game changing events. Include player choices, such as, who lives and who dies. Use your skills to play out events in many different ways and difficulty levels.
*Help design scenarios & weapons as part of the Kickstarter

* Mac & LInux is possible with the engine, but I'm looking for support for those platforms before I fully commit

Glad to hear it! I'll give the demo a try this weekend!

Roen [author] 22 Oct, 2015 @ 3:27pm

@ Rolocke "The revival has happened."

@ Zarnovski "I appreciate that"

@ Randomdude "Ok I know your tired of zombies, but as part of the story you can wipe them out. If you make the right choice that is."

I'm happy to share that that game is back and you can play a demo. For those of you who have waited so long, I hope the demo does not disappoint. The game is meant to be a simplistic yet flexible action rpg shooter. Sadly not a AAA title. Our core features are story and choice, and leaving it up to you to figure everything out. Including how to Get Off The Planet!

Unforunantly, that means the game may seem difficult, you may get lost, or bash your computer in frustration. Be in known though...I beat the demo without shooting a shot. Ok, that's not entirly true. I didn't shoot a shot until the last segment which I made incredibly hard on purpose.

Unless you have every weapon, skill, and smart's at your disposal, it is realy hard to beat!

Very excited for this one to come out. I love crafting, survival, tactics and exploration, this looks like it'll have it all! Will it?

Rolocke 30 Jun, 2015 @ 7:59pm

Hey man these things take time. Especially if your on your own. Don't be afraid to be transparent and or lean on the community. We all love games and want to see you make a good game.

Zarnovski 30 Jun, 2015 @ 4:26pm

Good to hear, the revival bit, not the bit about it being a long way to go, but still, good to hear.

Roen [author] 30 Jun, 2015 @ 3:53pm

Revival sounds like the right word. There will be many changes, but the core ideas will remain intact. Don't hold your breath, still a long ways to go :(

Rolocke 30 Jun, 2015 @ 1:33pm

Somthing like a revival?

Roen [author] 30 Jun, 2015 @ 1:28pm

Something's happening.

Zarnovski 5 Apr, 2015 @ 4:16pm
