Anyone know about this thing? Seems more obscure than it should be.

Spiritual successor to Syndicate, with some of the office infiltration elements that Subversion promised.

And of course pixel art, because 2014 is the new 1989.  But hey, if pixel art lets small or one man teams pump out quality games, I'm not complaining.

Edit:  How do I embeds?

QBasic!  Haha, move over, ProspectorRL guy!

Seriously though, I'm not hating on anyone's language of choice.  If QBasic gets it done, then more power to him.

Looks cool.  Gameplay seems really similar to the original Syndicate too.

Looks like it will be on Steam and GOG, once done.

It may not have been mentioned on Bay 12 before, but it's been quite popular for some time in other circles, not least of which being programmer circles due to the QBasic thing (it started as a fun project just to see if it was possible). I seem to recall it's even won awards already (?), and been at several major events.

Looks pretty hype.

Haha, just read the article that talked about resource requirements.

Hahaha.

that's awesomely.. something.  Certainly impressive, on various levels.  And in terms of pure code base, it does not sound very long.

Hey, I'm the guy making this game. Sorry the website is so out of date, I mostly just update people about it on Twitter. I'm at EBGames Expo in Sydney at the moment with the game playable on the show floor, and I'll be taking it to PAX afterwards. I usually just tweet about it at Twitter.com/manfightdragon so if you wanna see whatever I'm up to, that's the easiest way really.

[puke]

Looks exciting, and impressive on many levels.  Will be following the development.

[Linenoise]

Ah pixel art. The bell bottoms of the PC game world.

PTW because I like pixels!
