E3 2012: An Abandoned Soviet Lab 20 Light Years from Earth

very interesting

Spaaaaaaaaace

Neat

looks cool, very atmospheric

Very Journey like

That logo

I can dig it.

Is the astronaut River Song?

Welp, I'm keeping my eye on this one.

that's true. i loved the part with the soviets on mars. oh.. and the sand.

Love atmosphere-centric games, hope they nail it.

Also, needs a motocross bike secret/unlockable.

Definitely looks weird but I'm intrigued.

Spoilers: The planet turns out to be Earth.

This was the first Kickstart I backed, and I am super excited to see the results.

Visually underwhelming, conceptually interesting. India Games!

cool to see stuff like this getting made

@mortal_sb: good for you

damn commies!!!

Will be interesting to see where this goes. Any making it with commie alien women?

Looks neat. Kind of makes me want a Twilight Zone-esque game for some reason.

We need more stuff like this, as a nation, to get us enthusiastic about space again. I mean, fucking government slashes more NASA funding, retires the Space Shuttle fleet - and yeah, perhaps they were spending too much money doing things. But we should fucking have a colony on the moon by now, and solar farms! Yet, if anything, our country has gotten dumber. Tea party idiots and creationists are at least getting louder. Makes it seem like there are more of them. We need things to remind us of how awesome technology and space is. We can't depend entirely on SpaceX and their awesome Dragon capsule. Okay, done with my rant now :)

Super, super happy to see this. I heard of it, then forgot about it - so I'm relieved to see their Kickstarter was successful!

Seems to have the spirit of an old-school, 90's, "Multimedia CD-Rom" adventure game. But y'know...with actual gameplay instead of just pointing and clicking around lovely static screens, like in Myst or Journeyman Project. Seems really intriguing.

"I understand that, even at twice the speed of light, your journey will take 15 years."

Shouldn't that be 30 light years, then?

Space Journey.

one way trip to a desolate planet where there is likely no life or sustainable atmosphere?

And this motherfucker signed up for it?

Usually I don't really care about indie games, but this one looks interesting. 

Don't they mean it's Red planet?

Maybe there are a few years of acceleration and deceleration?

I'm definitely intrigued. I'd love to go on a space Journey.

Colour me interested. That's a promising start. I hope to hear more about it in the future. However...

IT WAS EARTH ALL ALONG!

OK keeping an eye on this.

Darn, the Russians got ahead of us in the space race.

I got in on the Kickstarter. Plenty of potential but they still have to prove themselves to me. Too many mysteries end up as stupid plot twists, so hopefully they can abstain from those.

Damn them all to hell!

Pre Alpha mean anything to you ?

I enjoyed the little bit of dialogue I heard. Sounds natural...

The story got my interest.

Fake russian on the book is a bit of a bummer, but I hope they'll give more attention to details. This does look like early footage but it also looks interesting and a little bit like Colobot. No programming in this probably though.

This definitely looks interesting, but I can't help feeling it would be infinitely better if it was made in eastern europe or Russia.

Looks like an exploration heavy game. Exactly my kind of thing when done right (sadly it rarely is...). Will keep a hopeful eye on this.

HOLY SHIT!

THIS IS MY MOST EXITING GAME OF E3!

WHAT THE FUCK? I WANT THIS GAME NOW!

HOLY SHIT!

THIS IS THE MOST BORING E3 EVER, NOTHING LOOKS GOOD, ONLY LIKE 2 INTERESTING GAMES--BUT THIS? OH MY GOD! GIVE IT TO ME NOW! HOLY FUCK!

Really neat concept. Got my eye on this.

Looks like it holds some promise. Wish these guys all the best with making their game.

This looks great.

Cool, I'm interested.

Depending on the direction they go with this, it could be an amazing game. I love games like Journey and the post-apocalyptic stuff (ala Fallout and Rage and even I am Alive) so this fits many of those stereotypes. Doesn't seem to be a combat game, rather an exploration type.

Light year is a unit of distance. She is just saying that the journey will take 15 years.

Yeah, but at twice the speed of light, you'd travel 30 light years in 15 years. In the description it says the planet is 20 light years away.

Not that travel at any velocity faster than the speed of light is physically possible, anyway.

@SmithCommaJohn: you need to account for acceleration and deceleration

Wait, did I back this? I remember seeing it, but I don't think I did. That's a shame.

Lemme guess. The planet is Earth in the future, and he actually time traveled somehow.

Looks good, Im interested, although I hope it isnt too predictable and just turns out to be earth.
