    [​IMG]Here's a Kickstarter update for Beautiful Desolation:

    THE WORLD OF DESOLATION
    As far back as during the development of STASIS, both Nic and I spent time discussing several ideas for future projects. During these conversations we kept circling back to a vivid post apocalyptic world.

    A story revolving around a similar theme to STASIS: family. The idea of two brothers, transported to another world fell beautifully into place in a post apocalyptic African dystopia. This setting was a feature of our original story. It was different, inspiring, and considering our location - achievable! For research, we just had to open the door and step outside.

    South African Gamer interviewed the devs:

    An interview with THE BROTHERHOOD about STASIS, CAYNE and BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION
    A while back I got to play and fell in love with STASIS, an isometric adventure game set in a dark, scary near future. Now the team behind this game are back with a Kickstarter for BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION, a sci-fi adventure set in a dystopian Africa after an alien artifact allows technology to leapfrog... and lead to all-out war.

    The Kickstarter is sitting past 50% of its target goal and I got Chris Bischoff to talk to us about the game, its inspiration and how things have changed since STASIS.

    [SA Gamer] Thank you so much for agreeing to an interview. I know things must be pretty crazy right now, so I appreciate you making time for this!

    [Chris] It's only a pleasure!

    BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION has shots of Cape Town and a distinct African aesthetic. Many local developers aim for something more first world in their creations. What was the reasoning behind this choice?

    We're using a place we know well, and we're twisting it into a post apocalyptic world. To many, Africa is already quite a different setting and we love the post apocalyptic genre - so it seemed like a natural step for our environment. As we started to really explore what we could do in that world everything started to fall into place.

    There is something romantic about walking through the ruins of a long gone society - a place that you remember, but it's different... changed and transformed into something else.
