This game follows the story of what happens after the John Carpenter 1982 movie adaptation of the John W. Campbell JR Novel "Who Goes There?". The original game borrows heavily on the story from the 2002 video game and the current sequel expands further on the plot after Captain Blake defeats the Thing entity. After the death of Whitley and the destruction of Gen Inc property; Captain J.F.Blake boards a rescue plane and leaves Antarctica. Complications arise and the aircraft malfunctions and crashes. With no report from Blake the Alaska base sends in a new rescue team of which you the player take control. Your task is to find Captain Blake and escort him back to Alaska. However the thing entity did not die with Whitley on that day...

While very laggy the engine is actually done. The game could be played in its current state and any necessary tweaks could easily be done at a later date with minimal effort. I will start building the story mode next week and I think that will take about 2 months to do. Then I will need an extra month for the remake of the original mode which should be pretty straight forward.

Once both story modes are running fine and tested I will proceed to building Survival mode and establishing the extra content mode base. Once Survival is complete, tested and running with a few maps the game will be ready for release. So its about 4-5 months work if i go at a steady pace so expect a late autumn release date.

As for the Extra Content mode I will add stuff to that overtime but the game may have to be re-downloaded and I can't promise you will be able to rescue your save files.
