Lifeless Planet EU and Australia Release and Trophies Patch

I'm happy to announce the European and Australia/New Zealand release of Lifeless Planet on PS4 is just days away on Wednesday, August 17! Thanks for your patience as we worked through the submission process for these markets.

In addition, we've released a patch for the game which will make it easier and more reliable to earn the Rocketeer and Survivalist trophies. Now you can pause the game, choose Last Checkpoint and Resume a saved game to continue progress. Starting a new game from other than the first chapter will still reset these trophies as they must be earned by playing through from the beginning.

Lifeless Planet Releases on PS4 July 19!

The Premier Edition of the mysterious sci-fi adventure Lifeless Planet is coming to PlayStation 4 July 19! This remastered version is being published by Serenity Forge, and it harnesses the awesome power of the PS4 to tell a truly intriguing and thought-provoking story.

Exclusive to the PS4 release, the main character model has been updated with more detail and double the texture resolution. The game also runs on an updated game engine and features advanced physically based shaders and dramatically improved lighting. The Premier Edition on PS4 shows off the starkly atmospheric world of Lifeless Planet in all its glory.

A special thank you to all our PS4 fans for your patience. It will (VERY) soon be rewarded!

Lifeless Planet Profits Pay for Booth Space for Two Indie Studios at PAX

We're excited to announce that Stage 2 Studios is sponsoring booth space for two separate indie game studios at this year’s PAX Prime, one of the most-attended gaming festivals in the country. Stage 2 is funding the contribution from a portion of profits from Lifeless Planet.

Siege Sloth Games will be exhibiting their upcoming game Evergreen in which gamers will play as a mythical world tree, encouraging evolution throughout natural history. Serenity Forge is exhibiting The King’s Bird, a momentum-based precision-platformer about finding true freedom. Both games will be displayed in the Indie MEGABOOTH, the largest single booth at PAX Prime.

Our hope is this contribution will be the start of something bigger. And I'm already encouraged by conversations with the guys at Siege Sloth and Serenity Forge: both indie studios have pledged their support for a proposed Indie MEGABOOTH Alumni Fund, promising to make a donation if their games make a profit. The Alumni Fund would pool similar contributions from past Indie MEGABOOTH exhibitors to help cover the exhibiting cost of future studios.

We're happy to be giving back to the indie game community, but we're even more excited about creating something that will pay forward to future indie projects! If you're a former exhibitor at Indie MEGABOOTH and you want to get involved in this effort or learn more, please get in touch.

PAX Prime runs August 28-31 at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle.
