Interstellar Marines Message Board

Indie Gala’s latest bundle looks a rather nice one. The IndieGala Intersellar packs in Cubicity, Interstellar Marines and Rush Bros. all for a buck, and then Beast Boxing Turbo, Sang-Froid: Tales Of Werewolves, Interstellar Marines’ Spearhead Edition, and PixelJunk Shooter for $6. Or more, of course. And they’ve just added in another game (although the website doesn’t acknowledge it yet), Finding Teddy.

Zero Point’s Interstellar Marines has a perception problem. I had a look at a bunch of comments people have made about it in the various news stories we’ve posted: some people are intrigued by the promised RPG shooter that’s been inspired by Deus Ex and System Shock; others decry it as ‘generic’, and failing to live up to its promise. I can see both sides. For all their promises, all that’s really been delivered is a multiplayer shooter and bits of admittedly impressive tech. For a game announced in 2005, that’s not a huge amount of progress. It’s something that the developers address a little bit in the trailer below, with a breathless narrator mocking the lead dev’s ambitions as he pitches the game to Steam Early Access customers.(more…)

Interstellar Marines is Now Available on Steam


Interstellar Marines resurrects the old school tactical FPS, offering a unique blend of co-op, role-playing and nonlinear gameplay. Set in a believable future, you take on the role as an elite soldier handpicked to join Project IM, a top secret military program being assembled to protect mankind from all dangers outside our solar system.

Interstellar Marines is inspired by Half-Life, System Shock 2 and Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield. Our game is all about evolving the FPS recipe with all the inspirations we've assimilated since the birth of the genre. Our goal is an evolutionary leap forward driven by our compulsive interest in science fiction, role-playing, military realism, and respect for first person immersion.

Zero Point, the team behind ambitious tactical sci-fi FPS, Interstellar Marines, have sat down to talk to you guys about their “Prologue” game. With just a few days to go on their Kickstarter they are still a long way from their $600k target, and they’re aiming to tell you enough to get you excited about their project. As they explain: “Since our Kickstarter campaign started it has been clear to us that our explanation of Prologue has been somewhat vague. So we decided to sit down in a cozy environment, with the limited time that we have, and go through the experience from A to Z, like we’ve never done before!”

Take a look at their ten-minute video below.(more…)

The devs of Interstellar Marines have indie madness, and are opening the doors to their Multiplayer game, Deadlock, during E3 week.

Interstellar Marines developers Zero Point have sent word that they’ll be making their proof-of-concept multiplayer game taster, Deadlock, available to everyone for E3 week, and the following weekend. It’s right here. The game is provided in a Unity plugin, so you can play it straight from your browser, into a multiplayer game.

Zero Point have also produced a rather heart-felt new trailer for the rest of their project, which you can see below. The glimpses of the game that are shown in there certainly look pretty promising, and it encompasses both a single-player campaign and multiplayer tactical shooter stuff. Ambitious indeed. Go take a look.(more…)

A year ago we spoke to Zero Point about their extraordinarily ambitious Unity-powered tactical sci-fi shooter, Interstellar Marines. They told us about how they were largely relying on the support of the community, and pre-order packages, to get the game made. To that end they’ve been releasing a few bits and piece of technology to their pre-ordering folk, and the biggest release so far appeared yesterday, and is detailed in a video below. Deadlock 0.3.0 is a multiplayer game mode that should, the devs explain, give players a better taste of the vision they have for the game. It’s also the first thing that Zero Point have released in some time, so it must come as a relief to those who have shelled out cash for the project. See below for more.(more…)

Earlier this week I took some time out of my merciless schedule of reblogging the trailers for the sequels to 2007 action games to have chat with Danish indies Zero Point. Game director Kim Haar Jørgensen told me about how Hired Guns, System Shock 2, and Deus Ex had all fed into the creation of their Unity-powered co-op sci-fi shooter, Interstellar Marines. You might have already encountered this “AAA Indie” project via Bullseye or Running Man, the browser-based mini-games that Zero Point have used to promote their title. The full game, however, is something much more formidable, as Jørgensen was to explain. It’s quite project for just a handful of devs, so I was keen to find out how they were getting on.

#pc Interstellar Marines is a video game unlike your standard sci-fi shooter. Instead of being backed by a publisher, its developers are instead taking money from fans now, who will get the game when it's done. More »

Season's greetings from the Interstellar Marines team!

The free-to-play online FPS Interstellar Marines has launched!

You wil believe.

Just when you thought the Vault couldn't be any more unlocked.

We're not gonna lie to you -- we take every opportunity we can to write about games involving landsharks. It shouldn't be a shock, then, that we're bringing you news on Interstellar Marines this morning, as the game's official website now allows for a much closer inspection of said terrifying creatures. Truth be told, entering "The Vault" allows for little more than an interactive, 3D, self-guided walkthrough of a single screen from the trailer we saw a few months back. It promises more, with three still-locked gates with timers on them (two for a bit under a week, one for just under two weeks) on the periphery of the "experience." Here's hoping one of those three will reveal a projected release date for the nearly four-year-old, still-in-development game from Zero Point Software. We'd really like to try our hand at some landshark wranglin'.

The next step on from videos and screenshots; you'll be able to walk around a snapshot of the game in 3D using the actual game engine--in your browser.
