The NeuroGen Incident
After four months of hard work, today we are massively proud to announce that our very first full co-op experience has been released!
Interstellar Marines is a game built on the promise of awesome co-op, and The NeuroGen Incident is the first time we've unleashed the full power of our co-op experience. Built in a level 6 times the size of our largest multiplayer map, The NeuroGen Incident allows you to play through one of the pivotal stories in the development of the Interstellar Marines program.
With difficulty levels ranging from Easy all the way to the legendary Interstellar Marines, The NeuroGen Incident can be played through multiple times with a different experience and path every game. You and your co-op friends will be fighting intelligent enemies, in different areas with divergent paths to success each time you fire up Interstellar Marines! We've even added several new Steam achievements for you to achieve during the fight.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME,

Yay :> Awesome!
The map seems a bit bugged, there are several doors i can't open and I cannot find a way to get to station A at all.
However the AI pulled some really nice tricks, and the feeling of the place is great, also the HUD is really nice, GUI is also good. Overall some very nice things comming along here.
I hope the combat will be refined soon though.
naa it's not bugged it's you playing it wrong, are you sure you've completed all the objectives necessary to reach station A?
I thought Station A was the second powerplant, but I did manage to get there now. I guess the objective marker was a bit more general than i thought.
That being said the doors are still bugged, the AI can open doors that you cannot open even when the power is down. :P
Oh god the co-op is so awesome and creepy! Played it with some friends yesterday and we had a blast! so damn creepy, those robots man wth. And it's atmospheric as hell.
One quite annoying bug though is that some walls when you stand close to them and you raise your gun the screen turns black.
Also was really hoping for some more weapons.. like a shotgun. really would like more choice even if we have to find them somewhere.
Now is definitley a good time to jump on this wagon and support the development of this awesome game. I think there's a discount on steam if you wanna buy, which you should
I still have a Gift available if someone wants to trade : Steamtrades.com
No one's using VOIP :c
