I Shall Remain was produced by an active duty US Marine whose experiences and love for his organization echo through the game. The creators have a story that is as interesting and moving as the one created for the game. You are invited to read about it at: Ishallremain.com

Hows it going Desura!
Jake Way here, it's been a long journey and we're finally ready to make a kickstarter debut. We've quietly been gathering everything we need to make it happen successfully. I've attached to this article an image of our first contributor gift. It's a beautiful rendition of Michael's quest log that players can have as any kind of creative journal. It's leather and handmade! These below are prototypes. The final cuts will have 'I Shall Remain' delicately placed on the front cover. Nothing too crazy though, I personally can't stand it for instance when I get a T-Shirt that screams the company name across the front. I'm all about subtle and beautiful.
On Kickstarter we plan to raise $30,000.00. This will be enough to cover the costs of completing a multiplayer function for the game- which will make ISR an absolute blast to play and market our Steam Greenlight campaign. Currently we're 76% of the way to the Greenlight top 100 list. We're well positioned but we definitely have a fair amount of work ahead of us. (Greenlight link here: Steamcommunity.com )
Also heads up, we're currently working on a new game map that will replicate the battle of Dien Bien Phu. Similar to what the French experienced in that battle in 1954, there will be no way to win. You will struggle to survive as long as you can. The French battles in Vietnam have always fascinated me especially because many of them were carried out by the French Foreign Legion. Back in those days, the ranks were filled with tons of soldiers who were joining up to continue their military careers and to avoid the Nuremberg trials. Who were these? Former Nazis. Well before the United States had entered Vietnam, former Nazi soldiers were covering down on the defense of French interests there and fighting the Vietnamese guerrilla fighters.. that blows my mind! I can't say anything about whether or not what happened in Vietnam in those days was right but I do know that there were lots of great fighters whose lives absolutely sucked fighting in the nasty rain and mud with limited support and that they fought well.
Thank you so much for your continued support and we look forward to interacting with you here on Desura. Feel free to hit us up with any comments or questions. Many of them might be receiving a video response from our new team member Lindsey. Nothing like being able to speak to fans in person.
Live and fight hard and happy zombie hunting.

We have our rough cut in for our Kickstarter video for ISR, edited by Travis Sterner and filmed by Absolute Digi both out of Seattle. We pretty much went all in on this, and it paid off. The video is perfect.
Hi players, our video editor has said that our kickstarter video will be completed within the next 2 weeks. When it's done, I'm interested in doing a soft launch on Desura and gauge your reaction to it. Your feedback will help us make the actual kickstarter more effective and get our production moving again.
We really appreciate you staying with us, as we pass through this part of our journey where we learn the realities of finance, and persistence of fans who have found a great game : ).
Thank you so, so much.
Jake
Woot!
Update!
Hello Faith and other players! Yes we've been very quiet lately, there hasn't been any news because all of our attention has been focused on kickstarter.
Our creation of a kickstarter campaign in the early months of this year got going in fits and starts. I learned on Kickstarter that you need a presentation video that sells, and it needs to be slick. At the beginning of the year, I went through two videos which I weren't happy with. Now we have a third, final and perfect one that's in post-production as we speak.
I Shall Remain is not going away. I Shall Remain, remains. When our kickstarter is up please check it out and support it. Its success will allow us to expand the game and create multiplayer.

Hey Jake,
You guys have been silent for quite some time. We could use a progress report, please. Last thing I heard was that you were getting ready for a new Kickstarter and you are on Steam Greenlight. Just a bit concerned because you have been maintaining silence for such a long time.
Hmm last i tried the game was performing poorly, lots of framerate issues even with my gaming PC and default settings. Alpha build so i will wait and see for updates, seems worth it on the paper!
Same here. The game is maxing my GTX 560 ti and I'm not even getting a steady 60fps. Considering the graphics something is wrong. Until I can get that under control I'll have to stop playing.
Hi peremptor, I've got your name down now that you've posted here and when we have a fresh copy of the game ready we'll send it over to you. Same with Kwama57! : )
can this game offline?
Hey bud, if you mean can it run outside of Desura it sure can just track down the install file and it will execute. We don't have multiplayer up on the game yet so there's no need for an internet connection.
