CONSCRIPT News

The Conscript Kickstarter campaign is now live!

This has been a long time in the making, but through many delays I am finally in a position where I can manage running a crowdfunding campaign over the next month. I'm very excited, and equally as nervous!

Crowdfunding Conscript will allow me to greatly increase the scope and quality of the game, as I will be able to work on the game full time instead of just part time.

If the funding goal is reached, I will unveil some awesome stretch goals that the community can shoot for! Fans of classic survival horror games will REALLY enjoy the stretch goals, I'm sure of it. With your help, I'll be able to turn them into a reality!

Of course, this also aligns with the public demo being available for anyone to download on Steam as part of the Steam Summer Games Festival from June 16th - 22nd. After this it will be removed from Steam and be available to download through the Conscript website.

If you have any questions, or would like to discuss the demo with the community - feel free to join the Conscript Discord.

Thank you all! Enjoy the demo!

Come on down to the Conscript Discord on 4pm PDT on Thursday 18th June for a chance to ask me any questions you have about the game or it's development! I will be hanging around for a few hours to interact with you all.

Hope to see you all there!

ABOUT THE DEMO

This demo contains about 40-60 minutes of gameplay from one of the iconic areas of Conscript - the trench. In this demo, you will be able explore, fight and solve puzzles in order to survive. I recommend playing with headphones! I'm proud of the sound design so far, and I feel like it really gives the atmosphere a sense of dread.



MEET THE TEAM

My name is JD. I’m a 23 year old student living in Melbourne, Australia. I am currently wrapping up a history degree at the University of Melbourne. As a child I had dreams of becoming a game developer and creating my own stories for people to play. Conscript is my chance to do that!
Development started 3 years ago, in early 2017. The only game development experience I had were the imaginary maps I drew as a young kid. With a love of both history and the classic survival horror genre, Conscript was born!
Classic survival horror has long been one of my favourite genres. Silent Hill 1-4 and Resident Evil 1-4 have been my biggest inspirations. I’m intent on recreating the spirit of such games in Conscript - the purposeful design, narrative, intricate map layouts, oppressive atmosphere. Everything.
History has always been a passion of mine. I am currently in my final semester of a history undergraduate degree at the University of Melbourne. WW1 has always been a period of time that I have been fascinated by, and I want to honour it through Conscript.
I hope you all enjoy this demo, and can join me in the creation of my dream project!
