We did it!
OFF GRID was 126% funded on Kickstarter in the end - that's a whopping 5,252 over our goal. THANK YOU!
We hit the first stretch goal late yesterday afternoon, then kept building to our final tally of 25,252.
That means OFF GRID has the extra funds dearly needed for art and sound, AND we'll be sharing even more with you as we shift into a more open mode of development!
PLUS, by hitting that stretch goal, OFF GRID will benefit from the addition of an in-game social media app, and those of you that took advantage of that extra tier (and all those who backed above it!) will get the satisfaction of seeing a message of yours in the game.
Thank you to everyone that followed along with the countdown - whether in person or via the livestream. It was great fun to share the success with you all!
We will be back in touch soon with updates on the game, development progress, and importantly, details and questionnaires about your rewards.
THANK YOU!
The Off Grid Team
Off Grid is a 3rd person stealth hacking game where data is your most powerful weapon. Off Grid forgoes combat for hacking tools and ingenuity, and is completely moddable.
Gameplay utilises unique mechanics that allow you to manipulate the world and people around you with the data they unwittingly leave behind. It’s a stealth game where the player can truly hack and manipulate objects in the environment.
Players, modders, and hackers will be able to use the game to create new and interesting levels with stories about surveillance, hacking and the internet of things.
Features:
Stealth and hacking gameplay based on use of data and environments rather than weapons and combat
Hack into lifelike simulated networks and data with realistic hacking techniques and tools including SSH, sidejacking, and social engineering of the AI
Contemporary storyline and missions related to real-world events surrounding data privacy and mass surveillance
Fully moddable content encouraging players to create new and interesting levels, whether complete fantasy or mimicking hacking in the real world around them
Outstanding audio and original soundtrack from Jonas Jensen and Lyndon Holland, the BAFTA-winning composer from the game Virginia
