Hello again!
It's taken longer than expected, but alpha 9 is now available. In the latest alpha, you'll get to encounter the explosives wielding, Church of the Final Exodus Fanatic for the first time. Here's what he looks like:
Alpha 9 also adds the first interior level to Vigilantes, allowing you to assault a Church of the Final Exodus compound. There's also post mission looting, which allows you to find additional loot, using your bypass and surveillance skills. The alpha is available to download from here.
If you'd like a little more info on this update, and listen to me moan about the technical problems encountered, here's the most recently development video:

Meet Ray case
Here's the first voiced character introduction for Vigilantes, which introduces recruitable companion Ray Case, a hard boiled private eye. This one was a lot of fun to write. It's been written for several months, and I've really been looking forward to getting the illustration and voice over done, so I could make the video and share it with you. So, without further ado: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d9eDS6POQM Bonus Question: Who's your favourite fictional detective? Free Windows Alpha Facebook Forum Twitter

Hello again, I'd like to share the most recent illustration from Vigilantes, which shows one of Reiker City's three gangs, The Church of The Final Exodus, in the middle of a bizarre cult ceremony. Illustration here A new development video has also been released, which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=172kCX6wIa8&list=PL3F4ZY8KMRwz5s_emS-pmTEwtI1hTdf8G&index=9 If you'd like more updates about the coming free alpha, you are invited to visit my Facebook Page or check out Indie DB or the page Greenlight Concepts Thank you for reading!
Fourteen months have passed since development began on Vigilantes, and there's some good news: an alpha version will be made available within the next 6 weeks. The alpha will be free, available through indie DB, and will contain a handful of levels from the game. This will allow you to be among the first to try an exciting new game for free, while feedback will be very useful to me in tuning Vigilantes. For now, here's a video bringing you from the splash screen, through the main menu, and all the way to an encounter between Sam Contino, the protagonist, and a group of street thugs. Comments, questions and criticism are welcome! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7bzU0Mscvo
Hello! Since releasing Deadstone on Steam, and between the later updates, I've been hard at work on a new game. I played a lot of X-Com, Fallout, and Jagged Alliance when I was younger, and the turn based genre is very dear to me, so I decided it was time to make one. Nine months later, and things are beginning to take shape, although there is still much to be done. This development video covers a mission from the game where the protagonist encounters a potential ally. This ally has been lured to a desolate part of the city, and ambushed by a group of paramilitary survivalists. The player and their newfound ally must fight their way out, and escape. Here's a link to the video if you'd like to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AOYSsnt5fA And here's a video showing how firing from full cover works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSu7R17RBK8 If you'd like occasional updates on the development of this game, you are more than welcome to stop by my facebook page, at: https://www.facebook.com/Timeslipsoftworks I'd really like to hear what you think, so if you have any questions, comments, or observations, it would be fun to talk to you about them! Take care!

A Planet Under Siege
Mars is under siege, and the colonists are fighting a losing battle. Assume the role of Blake, a private security operative who crash lands near the colony of Deadstone, following an outbreak on the Icarus space station. Care to guess who just landed the job of sheriff?To survive, you’ll need to use your combat expertise and lethal firepower to overcome an unrelenting enemy, but to win, you’ll need a strategy. Every time an infected slips through your defensive net, a colonist dies. Can you save the colonists of Deadstone?
Two Distinct Game Modes
Decide the fate of Deadstone’s colonists in the story driven, 50 mission Campaign, or find out just how long death can be cheated in Survival Mode.Campaign
Deploy defences, choose your weapons and equipment, and get into the fight. Experience nerve wracking battles against the insidious infected threat across 3 mission types: Patrol, Arena, and Colonist Rescue.Survival
Jump right into the fight with Survival Mode. Build your character, select your load out, and fight it out for the highest score until the bitter end. Death, however, does not spell defeat: it makes you stronger, gaining additional starting resources based on performance.Bring a Friend
Experience the Campaign and Survival Mode with a pal in local co-op. Note: A control pad is required for co-op play. The Xbox 360 wired controller is officially supported, however most controllers should work.Play Your Way
Develop the ultimate fighter with the unfortunately acronymed S.C.A.M. system, comprising 4 primary stats (Speed, Constitution, Accuracy, Mechanics), 11 secondary stats, and 70 perks.Face an Evolving Enemy
Confront 6 different enemies, including the soldier, commander, and the fearsome phase shambler. Contend with an enemy that attacks under the cover of night and dust storm, and even burrows under the surface to ambush you.Defensive Hardware
Deploy mines and 4 types of turret to create a defensive line. Upgrade your turrets’ stats, and research completely new abilities for them, including the Kinetic Thumper, which releases recoil energy into a shockwave to push infected back.Tools of the Trade
Spend your hard earned credits expanding your arsenal. Choose from 16 upgradable weapons from 4 classes: pistol, shotgun, automatic, precision, and complement your selection with 6 equipment types, including flares, explosives, and armor.Twin Tales
Experience two engaging stories, or play without if you’re just here for the action. Choose between a straight up survival narrative and a tongue-in-cheek take on events.Fight to Win
Compete on online leader boards for the top spot.Casual to Hardcore: Deadstone has 6 difficulty settings, to accommodate varying levels of skill.
