Yep, it had a successful Kickstarter campaign. Organic Panic got picked up for publishing by Midnight City, which is Majesco's new indie label. They're going to help market the game after launch. Here's the article:
Congratulations! If I had been into PC gaming or Kickstarter at the time, I probably would have backed this. Physics puzzle combat platforming with dynamic fluids and destructible environments? Right up my alley
No, that's not my game. I just thought it looked interesting.
Again so its not buried on the last page because the game is way too good.

"The Ocean"
As Aliph, explore a dream world held together by two energy types, learn about the world's boundaries, etc... Gameplay is adventure platforming, where a normal health bar is replaced by a sliding-scale energy bar which affects Aliph's movement physics as you interact with the environment.
"Even"
Follow the life of Even, a woman who has just moved to a new seaside city, through interactions in the town, as well as platforming daydream sequences that modify base movement mechanics from "The Ocean".
You guys are all so mean. So, so mean

Played it for a few minutes but I dislike the design/style.Again so its not buried on the last page because the game is way too good.

That sounds pretty cool, but maybe it's because I'm not used to these kinds of games but how the hell do you understand what's going on? I just see a bunch of symbols.
Part 1: The Awakening
I woke up disoriented over the base of an empty cryosleep pod. I looked around me and saw other similarly looking pods next to mine that carried the number 05. Some of the others still contained people in them. Why can't I... remember the reason I was in there? Everything seems... fuzzy. I faintly remember a feeling of panic and threat, but what on earth happened here? While I was trying to make sense of what happened to me, an unearthly scream erupts from down the hall beyond the doorway.Something is coming. Fast.
My heart is beating faster and my thinking accelerated immensely. I see a half broken window that I could jump through, but considering I have no protective clothing at all jumping through glass shards is an idea I should only pick as last resort. While hastily looking around the room, I noticed a console and faintly remember how to get ... access to computer systems. Yeah, now that I think about it.. I was pretty good with tech stuff, wasnt I? Crowbars, screws and the wirings and mechanical sounds of electronic systems dont seem foreign to me.
I quickly stepped to the console to try a common maintenance override code. No guarantee it will still work, but its my best bet. While entering the code, the pressure of the creature approaching is becoming unbearable and my self-preservation instincts were telling me to hide quickly instead of standing in open sight. I immediately noticed a good place to hide as well, but stuck with the console command. Apparently I have good instincts for hiding as well. I should remember that for later. I hear loud and forceful steps VERY nearby. I literally hear it breathing, my heart keeps pumping even harder. I need to hurry up. Come on. Faster. FASTER. *BEEPBEEPBEEP* The door closes. Thank god, just in time. The creature is standing just on the other side of this hopefully sturdy metal door and howls madly. It slams and rams multiple times into the door until it finally stepped away from the door again and its muffled sounds recede again. I slowly began to breathe again while my whole body was still trembling with fear and grabbing onto the console below me.
After I regained control over my body again, I searched through the records on the console in front of me. It still seemed to be in a good shape and something like a control command for the whole area. I looked through the files and noticed some folders with patient info. Patients? Was I a patient here? That would at least suggest I wasnt unwillingly imprisoned here.. or would it? No time to think about that now. I found several entries numbered 1 to 6. What was my number again? I turned around to check the cryosleep pods and noticed that my pod didnt break, it simply opened as if someone planned for me to wake up at this point in time. Why did I wake up and the others didnt? Looking around the room, I noticed that I will probably not get an answer to that and opened the console entry with my patient info. "Phillip Kindred", I read out aloud. surprised at how my voice sounded, especially how loud, I stopped moving and breathing to hear whether that creature from earlier heard me. After waiting a while, I still couldnt hear anything from the other side the door, so I continued focussing on the patient records again.
So my name is Philip Kindred, but why are the fields for additional data empty? Is it the same for the other patients? I quickly searched through patient 1 and 6 and both contained contact addresses and the date of the start of their cryosleep. Why is that missing for my record?
I sat down on the floor to reflect on my current situation and think about my options.
Stats are always a good thing
.. Stunt mode sounds cool, we have ricocheting arrows possible at the moment so making levels around that wouldn't be too hard.I think the issue people are having comes down to being compared to Terraria, which admittedly was more rewarding with exploration. You wont find much enjoyment in EoS if you just want a sword and the venture out. The big plus here is the rather involving and unique crafting + electrical base building. No clue about the current state of the game but I definitely had fun tinkering with the mechanics.
In a war where men die like flies and endless streams of reinforcements run to fill the void, it takes tactics and marksmanship to capture territories effectively. The open world nature of the game enables you to use a multitude of approaches to help the front line move its up to you to shape your role. Experience the complete arc starting as a private hardening into a high ranking officer with a squad under command, arming yourself with a variety of weapons and vehicles on your way to glory!
Yeah it was.
Ha, I know what you mean. I found these threads in late July/early August. I've come pretty far since then, even Toma can't keep up with me anymoreRunning With Rifles sounds really cool, as does NeoScavenger. I swear this thread will be the death of me.
I have no idea, honestly. Might be a time limit on it or something. Maybe I unknowingly offended the mods.
Did some research. Info was from 2011, so it could be obsolete but it seems you need 300 posts and be registered for 3 months. I think.I have no idea, honestly. Might be a time limit on it or something. Maybe I unknowingly offended the mods.

But either way, it's nice to have new GAFfers joining us here. Having a tight community of regulars is cool but the real goal of these threads is to spread the word about indies games and foster discussion. So I hope you decide to drop by often
Cool. Indies are the best. IMO, the last bastion of innovation and originality in gaming. My first was Facade and then Nitronic Rush cemented my love for indiesI'm big into the indie gaming scene, so I'll definitely stick around.
There was no thread for it yet? If If the current thread was slightly active or not that old, I´d wait until the game is closer to full release.
The latest version has built in graphics support. Just check out youtube for a guide.
There's one but no one's posted there in over a month and it doesn't really give any information about the game or screenshots, etc.
What the hell. Anyone behind it that is somewhat known?
I'm reviewing ("writing impressions of") it and I'll have my impressions up tomorrow on my blog.
