From the Press Release
Two former DICE leads, an established art director and a veteran designer from the Battlefield, Lost Planet and Shadows of the Damned games have combined to form Fugitive Games. Their first title, Into the Stars, is an open-world space survival simulation for PC and Mac built in Unreal Engine 4. Into the Stars features an original score from Jack Wall, the legendary composer behind the music of Mass Effect, Call of Duty and Lost Planet. In order to secure finishing funds and truly serve fans of the space genre Fugitive Games have launched a Kickstarter campaign.
WHEN GOING… INTO THE STARS
Take the role of Captain as you explore a massive solar system in search of a new home for humanity. Outfit your ship, hand pick your crew, and set off on a journey where you must scavenge resources, shelter civilians, and outrun a hostile alien force in order to survive.
Your ship, the Ark 13, is the last to leave our besieged planet, and you are at the helm. But before you set out, some decisions must be made: Which modules will you choose to take with you, and who will manufacture them? What resources will fill your limited cargo holds, and which crew members will you take under your wing?
Once in flight, your responsibilities as captain will push your limits: Monitor the condition of your crew, civilians and modules, ensure a steady flow of resources, and navigate celestial bodies – all while evading a pursuing enemy.
ABOUT THE GAME AND THE TEAM
Into the Stars incorporates elements from popular titles like FTL and Out There, where the struggle for survival in a hostile environment plays out much like a modern version of The Oregon Trail. Fugitive Games, LLC was founded in 2014 by a group of crafty veterans from places like DICE, Capcom and SCEA to build games that focus on fun and community first. The team has worked on a range of products from heavy hitters like Battlefield, Medal of Honor and Lost Planet to cult hits such as Shadows of the Damned and MAG. Visit www.fugitive-games.com
