Update 29 And Beyond
Weve decided on a 4 month development period, with a tentative deadline for each update and new priority system for WIP content/features. The priority system will sort tasks into need, want, bonus categories. The Game Director will designate what needs to be done, what he'd prefer volunteers do, and bonus items that can be chosen by the volunteers themselves. Anything that is not ready will be pushed to release in a later update rather than delaying the current update. Progress will be updated on our Trello page and social media, so be sure to check them out to see what is being worked on.
The priority system will allow our Game Director Kim (ZPSHicks) to have more time to interact with the team and community, as he no longer needs to plan every little task and detail. The team will also have more freedom with what they are allowed to work on, so you might end up with some cool random content or features. The 4 month cycle means more frequent updates, and our current tentative deadline for Update 29 is September 1st.
ITO Testing will continue as usual, and will take place before the deadlines with multiple builds including changes/additions according to player feedback. Once we feel were ready to release well lock an ITO Test Build as a release candidate. To become an ITO tester join our official Discord server and post !Enlist ITO Tester in the role-requests channel. Then you'll receive access to the ITO testing announcements where youll find the code to unlock the beta branch in Steam. During this process we will add reported bugs and include what is being worked on via our Trello page. Were very excited to see where this will take us and we will continue to make updates as more progress is made on our social media.

Hi everyone, good news! Were pleased to announce our new development roadmap for Interstellar Marines.
Weve decided on a 4 month development period, with a tentative deadline for each update and new priority system for WIP content/features. The priority system will sort tasks into need, want, bonus categories. The Game Director will designate what needs to be done, what he'd prefer volunteers do, and bonus items that can be chosen by the volunteers themselves. Anything that is not ready will be pushed to release in a later update rather than delaying the current update. Progress will be updated on our Trello page and social media, so be sure to check them out to see what is being worked on.
As a player, what does this mean for you?

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!
