Every time a dev releases a game or an update, an incredible amount of work goes into testing, checking and making sure everything is as it is supposed to be. Doing this only a few months into the production of FROM SPACE was an incredible effort, and because of this I want to thank and congratulate the entire team for reaching this milestone. We're thrilled to be able to present the FROM SPACE Multiplayer Demo!
In addition to releasing the demo, the store also had a major overhaul, adding new videos, screenshots and a bunch of key art to spruce things up. Looks much better now, doesn't it? Anyway, let's get to why you're here:
Story time!
A swarm of meteors has for millennia been chased through the galaxy by alien creatures, who have grown addicted to the consumption of energy dense crystals growing on every rock of the swarm. The consumption of energy from the crystals once gave the aliens wisdom and strength but have now corrupted and mutated the species and turned them into zombie-like creatures who will destroy anything in their path to obtain even a grain of the crystals.
The meteors are hurtling through space, and Earth is the next planet in its path. It’s destiny and that of all living things is seemingly decided.
The swarm starts to rain down on planet Earth and as humans start to discover the nature of the crystals, the aliens appear, dropping to earth from pods that separate from an enormous mother ship. Their primary sites are areas where meteors have impacted, making them the epicenter of enormous hives crawling with all kinds of aliens where crystals are turned to pink goop and transported back to the mothership.
Upon landing, the aliens immediately see the humans as competitors for their precious resource, turning every human on the planet into a target to the invaders.
Our heroes are a bunch of ex-military misfits, who learn that the army is no longer able to defend the city they live in. Unwilling to leave the city to its fate, they take up arms to rescue civilians and fight back the alien invaders.
Their heroic actions are soon recognized by the people of the city, and as the word spreads, the military catches wind and tries whatever it can to help the heroes achieve their goal by dropping in prototype weaponry that is to be charged with energy from the crystals.
What do I do in the demo?
The squad is being flown in by chopper into an alien infested area. However, during the approach the helicopter is taken down, separating the squad and the weapon. Your objectives are;
- Retrieve the prototype weapon.
- Charge it with energy from the crystals.
- Bring the weapon to its destination and set it off.
Good luck soldier! Remember, the demo is best enjoyed when playing with friends. You can invite them at any time when playing, and they will appear in the starting area. Remember, this game is still in development. You might encounter bugs or crashes. Reporting these helps us make the game better.
