Zero Point Software today released its first co-op expansion update. Interstellar Marines was launched on Steam’s Early Access on July 2nd, 2013. Since then the developers have released 11 updates and several smaller update fixes. Interstellar Marines is being developed on the Unity 3D engine and is currently in Pre-Alpha.
Kim Haar Jorgensen, Creative Director of Interstellar Marines, said:
“Our last update included a huge new co-op and singleplayer mission called The NeuroGen Incident. We’ve now expanded the number of co-op maps available to play by adding brand new co-op challenge game modes to three of our maps, further increasing the number of hours of fun our players can enjoy in both co-op and singleplayer.”
Interstellar Marines is inspired by Half-Life, System Shock 2 and Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield. The game is all about evolving the FPS recipe with all the inspirations ZPS has assimilated since the birth of the genre. The goal is an evolutionary leap forward driven by their compulsive interest in science fiction, role-playing, military realism, and respect for first person immersion.
Kim Haar Jørgensen added:
“We’ve used two fan-favourite maps, and also updated and improved our 2014 PAX demo, then added a unique game mode to each map. They perfectly compliment The NeuroGen Incident as they’re shorter and more challenge-oriented. Players can play them on their own, or with up to three friends, and immerse themselves in intense, tactical gameplay against relentless AI combat training robots.”
Enjoy!

I have been tracking this game since it was first shown in 2005.
All the footage you seen that has golden hud numbers is from 2005.
The game doesnt look like that at all.
They havent been doing anything for a long time, A few years ago they released that browser shooting range demo and then the mp. The game is a mess from what i read.
So when is the godamn singleplayer campaign from 2005 coming?
Stop talking about stuff you do not have any clue about… If you were actually interested in the development of the game, then you would know that that demo from 2005 was made in Unreal engine, they didn’t get the required money at that time which led to bankruptcy. In 2009 they started again FROM SCRATCH in Unity engine, went on early access in 2013 and has since then released 14 updates, they are very active and has one of the few cool communities on steam.
Take 5 min to read about their history, since you are so wise. http://steamcommunity.com/app/236370/discussions/0/864972399686185189/
As of now They are working heavily on Co-op content and campaign stuff, update 14 was released yesterday and has added even more awesome stuff for the Co-op players.
You havent told me anyhing i dont know about. Yet you assume i didnt have a clue what i am talking about because i didnt mention those thigns.
“they are very active and has one of the few cool communities on steam.”
When did the shooting gallery demo come out?
http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/interstellar-marines-bullseye-shooting-range.37592/
2009, sorry but they are not “active” if it takes them years to add what any developer adds in months. It is the exact same trance as before, they take forever to make any progress and when they do something gets screwed and try it all over again.
“has added even more awesome stuff for the Co-op players.”
i detect fanboyism. However i have been tracking the game for so long that mere “progress” in many years doesnt qualify as “eing active” or adding “awesome stuff” At this point i have zero trust that the game will come out before the end of time…or that it will ever be finished, hope am wrong but this is taking forever.
If you did know about those stated things, then i would presume you would be reasonable enough to tell the commenters about it, since you speak about the history and progress of the game.
*Any* developers adds in months? Are we talking 30-40 AAA companies or small indie developers? You don’t get much FPS done in a few months… Especially if you have infrastructure. You can’t just implement and hope for the best, you need consistent planning too.
I’m no direct fanboy but i do like the game for what is and has available so far. You on the other hand, are only talking nonsense and negativism as you always do.
I understand why you are sceptical and it might also not be that they will not complete it, but I have poured my money into the game (as one of the few EA games i own if not the only one) which is why i hope they succeed.
I should also mention that when i say active, i mean they are speaking very often about progress, they are doing weekly matches with the community etc..
I remember saying that i stoped following the game for a while. I should clarrify that i ran into a video a year ago and it was full of bugs.
Like i said the shooting gallery was done back in 2009.
Its not a matter of months its a matter of years. its been 5 years since then.
This project doesnt look like it will be ever finished.
“You on the other hand, are only talking nonsense and negativism as you always do.”
Call me cynical but i got tired of waiting for this game, its becoming clear it will never be finished.
” but I have poured my money into the game (as one of the few EA games i

Yup you defend your buy, i havent bought it becuase the singleplayer that was first shown in 2005 is still not here. They made that shooting gallery in 2009, i said “hey they are working on it”
2013 and all they got is mp matches.
“i mean they are speaking very often about progress, they are doing weekly matches with the community etc..”
Instead of developing, thats what killed Romero.
“Call me cynical but i got tired of waiting for this game, its becoming clear it will never be finished.”
Sure… if you say so, can’t argue with your cynical and stubborn mentality.
“singleplayer that was first shown in 2005 is still not here”
How would you expect them to be anywhere near the state of what they had in the Unreal demo back in 2005? They had presumably also used years to get there.
“2013 and all they got is mp matches” Yes, they used mp to get all the basic working, tweaking it, gather feedback, showing progress and let the supporters get something for their money, while the single-player campaign and CO-OP missions are under development.
“Instead of developing, thats what killed Romero.” They have a community manager, keeping up with the community (obviously :3) and some active members that aren’t part of the direct development of the game. They aren’t halting the development because of joy.
I have been burned too many times
No you haven’t. Because if you had bought this, that would be a burn based on your expectations, but you didn’t buy it. Nice try though.
i am talking about other games from early acess OBVIOUSLY.
Nice try though.

You>0
I dont know what you are trying to say, i am not even gonna bother checking your account. All i am saying is this, most of those early acess games are made by questionable devs and many of them end up being a controversy or never finish. This game looks like its one of them and they are making very slow progress. You can absolutly love the game they are making but some devs are just not going to deliver.
Me>1200 games
You>0 games
And at least the devs are doing something even all these years later.
Go cry more in the forums where the game is dead after 6 months.
“And at least the devs are doing something even all these years later.

You think that is directed to me? Seems more suitable to be directed at you.
You saying they doing something after what? “ALL THESE YEARS” and you think thats a good think?
6 months? we talking about YEARS here.
Hey if you feel buyers remorse thats ok, but parading “i am a sucker for games that never finish and i defend them because i gave em my money” really doesnt make a point other that you are a sucker for a scams and wasting your money on games that wil propably never finish.
This is the part thay ou gonna cry again, but let me say it again, I WAITED FOR THIS GAME FOR SO LONG.
At this point i dont care anymore.
Feel free to reply to me, but i am done, go damage control their horrible dev status somewhere else, propably a diffierent dimensions that the game will actually be finished at some point.
You really are that stupid.
I said some SEA games die after 6 months or even AAA games.
NO patches, no dev feedback or responses etc.
I know this because I have 1200 games you blatant idiot.
so lets see if i got this
I am stupid, yet you bought a ton of those games and wasted your money on them.
I am stupid but you defending a developer who has been proven time and time again not to be able to deliver.
I am stupid but you are making a big deal out of this and defend your contrubition to the very thing i am am trying to show you, that you dont know if those games will ever be made.
But hey, if they stopped giving feedback after 6 months but interstellar marines stopped having support and feedback for YEARS many YEARS then its somehow diffirent?
Because you know for a fact that those games will never be picked up again but interstellar marines will continue to give feedback and not stop at some point like they have done 2-3 times now.
……
But i am stupid?
The irony is insane, i reccomend laying off whatever drug you are own and step outside the fanboy bubble for a while.
i am done with you.
Someone sounds sad…
You say waste I say extravagance…you probably eat at McDonalds though.
Your name should be Derpa Derpa.
Pathetic attempt at trolling.
instead of all that nonsense you could have said
ITS MY MONEY JERK I WASTE THEM ON WHATEVER THE HECK I WANT.
You would have been taken more seriously.
