If you haven’t heard of locally made, crowd-funded point-and-click game Stasis by now, you’re either living under a rock, or you should be. It’s a 2D, isometric point and click adventure that marries a Ridley Scott-esque aesthetic and story to The Dig-like mechanics – which should already tell you that it’s awesome.
Just this week the game hit its $100 000 Kickstart target, so it’s definitely getting made. Yesterday, in a reddit AMA game designer Chris Bischoff also confirmed the title’s been Greenlit for distribution on Steam .
It’s now got around 50 hours left of its Kickstarter campaign, with a number of stretch goals still to be met. As of writing, the game’s raised $111,755 in backer money, but at $120 000 backers will be getting an extended soundtrack by Mark Morgan – who scored games like Fallout, Fallout 2 and the unfortunately nearly forgotten Giants: Citizen Kabuto.
If Bischhoff manages to raise $140 000, he’ll ad a prequel chapter to the game, explaining the Cayne Corporation.
Take a look, and remember the game is playable right now in alpha form – which you can download and play here.

The Kickstarter process is beautiful, I bet EA calls bullshit every time money gets thrown to another company to make a game.

I thought I would share this.
A Lesson in Government
A teacher was teaching her second grade class about the
government, so for homework that one day, she told her her students to
ask their parents what the government is.
When Little Johnny got home that day, he went up to his dad and ask his what the government was.
His dad thought for a while and answered, ”Look at it this way: I’m the
president, your mom is Congress, your maid is the work force, you are
the people and your baby brother is the future.”
”I still don’t get it” responded the Little Johnny.
”Why don’t you sleep on it then? Maybe you’ll understand it better,” said the dad.
”Okay then…good night” said Little Jonny went off to bed. In the
middle of the night, Little Johnny was awakened by his baby brother’s
crying. He went to his baby brother’s crib and found that his baby
brother had taken a crap in his diaper. So Little Johnny went to his
parent’s room to get help. When he got to his parent’s bedroom, he
looked through the keyhole to check if his parents were asleep. Through
the keyhole he saw his mom loudly snoring, but his dad wasn’t there. So
he went to the maid’s room. When he looked through the maid’s room
keyhole, he saw his dad having sex with his maid. Little Johnny was
surprised, but then he just realized something and thinks aloud, ”OH!!
Now I understand the government! The President is screwing the work
force, Congress is fast asleep, nobody cares about the people, and the
future is full of shit!”
Pissed off !
