UPDATE 20, TRELLO AND PRICES
We’re renewing our commitment to AAA Indie with ODD 2.0 you’re going to be able to see what we’re working on along with our progress towards the update. So check out our Trello Board! and watch as we progress towards each release date.
It’s finally time for the big Unity 5 upgrade! It was a big goal that kept showing its head with performance issues and now it’ll be answered. In addition to improved performance, we’ll be beginning new features and expanding on to Hell Week. We’ll be adding the unnerving killing machines (aka CTRs) into Hell Week, one capability that we can add in without destroying the framerate thanks to Unity 5! We’ll also be including a endgame for the final 4 Marines as well as DOORS! That last one may not sound as exciting but tactical shooters need doors unlike other games we won’t mention by name…
Our store page hasn’t changed a whole lot since going on Early Access so using feedback from you guys we have made some adjustments to help people make the best buying decision for them. A big change that deserves special notice is the price reduction! We’ve lowered the price for Interstellar Marines to reflect market conditions with all the new games that have come up on Early Access since the old prices were set. If you’ve purchased the Regular Edition of Interstellar Marines you now have the Frontliner Edition. We’re doing this to give people who buy in Early Access something special a little further down the road, and so we have the “Regular Edition” title available for use when we get out of Early Access with the full release. We hope you enjoy all the new changes and (insert inspirational comment here) FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME, Your Team at Zero Point Software

UPDATE 25 AVAILABLE - Interstellar Marines resurrects the old school tactical FPS, offering a unique blend of co-op, role-playing*, and non-linear gameplay. Set in a believable future, you take on the role of an elite operative 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 movies such as Aliens, Starship Troopers and Final Fantasy; and games such as Half-Life, System Shock 2, and Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield. Interstellar Marines 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.
*role-playing not yet implemented
Since man first raised his head to the stars above, he has dreamed of conquering space. Interstellar Marines is the age old dream come true. It is the dawn of the 22nd century, a time of great hopes and expectations. The discovery of a new and inexhaustible well of power known as Zero Point Energy has revolutionized space travel. Man has escaped the confines of Mother Earth, and gone on to colonize the solar system.
But far away from public awareness an ambitious military project has already taken Man beyond the final frontier, and into the regions of the stars. The powerful Interplanetary Treaty Organization, ITO, is secretly constructing the first human settlement in another star system. You are a new member of the Interstellar Marines, a secret battalion within the ITO special forces created to protect humanity against potential threats from the confines of the unknown universe.
Now gear up Marine, we’ve got training to do! Welcome to Project IM.
War Games
Formerly known as Hell Week this game mode features 9 New and unique areas where 64 players battle until only 4 are left standing! This event runs every 3 hours in each timezone, so there’s always one somewhere in the world starting at the top of every hour. We also have a Steam Leaderboard for Hell Week here which tracks Combat Points globally, monthly, and survivors of Hell Week. We'll let you know more about Hell Week Finals when it’s ready.
7 Singleplayer/Co-op Missions
Play 5 co-op and single-player missions against unscripted AI with dynamic environment effects or two pivotal missions inside the Interstellar Marines universe, The NeuroGen Incident and Assault on Starcrown Aerospace. Play singleplayer or co-op with up to three friends in intense action with more co-op and singleplayer missions to come!
9 Unique Multiplayer Maps Across 3 Game Modes
Take your friends out in Deadlock, Deathmatch, and Team Deathmatch on maps featuring dynamic environment effects such as time of day, rain, thunder and lightning, emergency lighting, fire alarms, moving platforms etc.
Realistic Simulation
With a physics-based dynamic character controller there are no floating hands, and you can even see your feet! The physically present combat helmet has a HUD projected onto the visor and is affected by dust, rain, fogging, and damage. Aim down the sight for the long shots and use the tactical laser to assist aim when hip firing, as there are no artificial crosshairs to break immersion. Use the intuitive crouch and cover system; spacebar (default) peeks over cover, and looking down leans you forward to see over ledges. You can also shoot out the lights and prowl in darkness, or use the tactical flashlight if you’re afraid of the dark.
We hope you enjoy the game, and look forward to developing it with you as we progress through Early Access!
