I'm happy to announce that our Kickstarter Project for Lifeless Planet has succeeded! We raised 202% of our funding goal for a total of over $17,000! It's going to take even more money (which is coming from other investors and our own pockets) and a ton of time and energy to complete the game, but we've now got the momentum to make it happen! THANK YOU so much to everyone who contributed!
Stay tuned here and on the Kickstarter page for progress updates as we move ahead...

I'm happy to announce that the Kickstarter fundraising campaign has begun. With a pledge of just $10 you will get a copy of the game when it ships! There are lots of other great rewards too, like a sweet t-shirt, posters, and even a 6 inch tall figurine of Aelita, the mysterious young woman from Lifeless Planet! When you pledge, you'll not only earn great rewards...you'll help this game become a reality!
Thank you for considering supporting Lifeless Planet!

9/27 UPDATE: We've Passed Our Kickstarter Goal!
Last week was an incredible week for Lifeless Planet. On Wednesday, we got picked up by several major gaming news websites including PC Gamer, Joystiq.com, Rock Paper Shotgun, Destructoid and many others. By the end of the day the project had passed its funding goal! As I write this, pledges are up over $12,000 and still coming in. A huge THANK YOU goes out to everybody who's pledged so far as well as all those who have helped to spread the word about Lifeless Planet.
I don't want to get ahead of things here...While we've met the goal, there's no upper-limit to how many pledges we can accept. More funding will simply enable me to purchase the resources and talent I need to make this game better, and finish it sooner. In addition, more pledge support means we can port the game to more platforms...so please continue to spread the word!

I need your support!
OK, so hopefully you've seen the new game trailer for Lifeless Planet and you can't wait to do some extrasolar planet exploration!
Lifeless Planet is a totally independent game project by a very small team: in fact, all of the production so far has been by one guy (me!). The goal is to make the best possible 3D action-adventure game on a small budget using free and low-cost tools. In the past some truly great games have been created by lone developers with a passion for their work. What's amazing is all the new tech that now allows independent studios to create incredible 3D games.
To pull this off, I will need your help. Even with great new tools out there like Blender and Unity, it takes a massive amount of effort to produce a quality game. I've spent years (decades, I'm afraid to say) learning 3D modeling and animation, texture painting, and game programming. I've got a "real" job, but interactive applications (i.e. gaming) are my passion. I'm pouring my heart and soul into this project.
All of this takes time, and yes, time is money. So very soon I hope to launch a Kickstarter project to allow fans of Lifeless Planet to contribute to the cause.
In the meantime, the only thing I ask of you is to sign up for the free newsletter! I will keep you updated on project milestones, new trailers, betas, etc. And when the Kickstarter project launches, I'll let you know so—if you like—you can support the project and get great perks like pre-orders of the game and cool Lifeless Planet swag!
