'Into the Stars' 90% Funded, Stretch Goals Unveiled - Trailer

by Rainier on Jan. 12, 2015 @ 1:21 p.m. PST

Into the Stars is an Unreal Engine 4 powered open-world space survival simulation.

We’ve been under attack for 10 years now. Every 6 months a new group of them arrives set on destroying our planet and now few of us remain to defend what’s left. The massive ships we’ve built in hopes of escaping them have all gone, save one. As the captain of our final vessel, you must guide an inexperienced crew on a journey fraught with mystery and danger. The fate of the fleet is uncertain and you could well be our last hope. How will you fare once you set out Into the Stars?

Fugitive Games has launched a kickstarter campaign, looking for $85,000, to complete development for Into The Stars and at 90% funded the developers have revealed the stretch goals.

$105k - German, French and Spanish localization added: We'll work closely with professional translation services to deliver native versions of the game in these languages.

$130k - Crew Platoon Pack + Custom Crew Names: A host of new crew members for you to choose from and the ability to name them whatever you desire. "Jimmy McButterToast" looks to be a solid engineer... excellent choice!

$155k - Russian, Portuguese and Polish localization added: Yeah, you guessed it... support for additional languages.

$180k - Weapons / Module Pack: We'll add a new manufacturer who will provide some new modules for your selection. Each of them will have custom properties, audio and VFX support which will provide a unique gameplay experience and perhaps open up new routes to your goal.

$205k - Custom Ship Appearance: Everyone knows that when you look good you also FEEL good and that's what this tier is all about. Deck out your ship with a host of cosmetic options that show off your personality while you're on the go.

$230k - Alien Encounter Pack: This tier allows us to add a number of new new aliens for you to encounter, each with unique appearance, stats and demands. We have some fun and evil ideas to explore here and can't wait to get started!

$255k - PlayStation 4: For all backers at the $15 tier and above, we'll give you a code for a PS4 copy of Into the Stars. This will of course be delivered AFTER the initial release, but we'd love for you to experience the game on your couch and this will help make that a reality. Please note that there are a lot of unknowns with porting the game and as such there is no timetable for or guarantee of release on other platforms. We absolutely want this to happen, and with your support we'll do everything we can to ensure it becomes reality, but the requirements of bringing the game to PS4 are unclear at this time.

$280k or more: There are a few more items we'd love to add, but we'll address these as we move through the existing goals. Stay tuned!

Take the role of Captain as you explore a massive solar system in search of a new home for humanity. Outfit your ship, hand pick your crew and set off on a journey where you must scavenge resources, shelter civilians and outrun a hostile alien force in order to survive.

Your ship, the Ark 13, is the last to leave our besieged planet and you are at the helm. But before you set out, some decisions must be made: Which modules will you choose to take with you and who will manufacture them? What resources will fill your limited cargo holds and which crew members will you take under your wing?

Once in flight, your responsibilities as Captain will push your limits:

  • Monitor the condition of your crew, civilians and modules
  • Ensure a steady flow of resources for your Modules
  • Explore derelict ships and dangerous planets with Landing Parties
  • Engage aliens of all types in Trade and Combat
  • Navigate a solar system filled with celestial bodies, asteroids and mines
  • Evade a pursuing enemy determined to destroy you
