Grey: The Lost Technology is a small game being developed by a group of game design, art, and programming students who form Team Aurora.
It’s the team’s first project, but from a glance it’s clear they know what they’re doing. The scope of the project is reasonable - this is a very achievable goal for a first project, and the fact that the students are all going to school for this certainly helps. They’ve actually already met and passed their goal by $1,000, but they have eight days left and more money means a better game!
From the Team Aurora website:
Grey: The Lost Technology is a game that takes place on a distant planet in the not-so-faraway future. Humanity has obtained a lost-technology that helped fuel wars and brought massive destruction to Earth. Humans were forced to flee the planet and find another place to inhabit. Using the lost-technology to help power a massive ship, humanity set forth into a new frontier – Omega.
Through the story of the game, Grey: The Lost Technology conveys the fact that life isn’t always so black and white.
If all this interests you, head to their Kickstarter page and watch their videos! They’re a lovely bunch of lads. Consider donating - even a dollar or five will really help a smaller game like this. And if you’re broke, but are interested in this project and want to see it do well, reblog this post and spread the word!
This is the first Kickstarter that I’ve actually wanted to donate to (I have a crippling addiction to indie games, help me), but can’t because of lack of funds (I’m saving for a wedding oh wait I already told you). You should do it in my place. Whoever “you” is. Mhm.
