The Story-line
All contact has been lost with the space station and colony base and your ship has been sent in to investigate and help with any repairs if needed. You play the part of 3 different characters at different points in the Goliath Incident timeline - Beginning, middle and end.
The 3 characters you can play are :
A pilot who returns to the ship after it has arrived at the colony.
An engineer who is stuck in the back of the ship as the ship gets overrun by aliens and zombies.
A marine who was part of the boarding party, presumed KIA you are left behind on the space station and have to get back to the goliath.
Each character is different and has different perks, each of the characters start at a different timeline in the story of the CDF Goliath. As you play through the game you find out what has happened on the ship and the colony. You must escape the ship and then the story-line has a huge twist which you will not be expecting!
EPIC REPLAY VALUE AND VARIETY!
5 Game modes!
Story Mode - A huge free roaming game on a spaceship, orbital station and a colony base!
Onslaught Mode - 8 different survival (wave based) maps - Single & Multiplayer!

Why does Ghostship need your Help?
There is still much development that is needed we have reached alpha 0.36 with only a couple of hundred pounds funding! We have reached the stage where we need funding for the further development and completion of the game. We want to publish Ghostship ourselves with your help and release it at less than £10, if we are unable to get enough funding to get don`t what we still need to do on the game, then we will will have to look at other publishers which will probably increase the price of the game. The more we get from crowd funding the less we need to seek privatley, help us to help you!
What will the funding will be used for :
Hardware - Computer equipment, for development and testing, Oculus Rift Dev Kit, controllers for set up, digital storage space etc.
Software - We need a variety of software and licenses for the devlopment and release of the game
Key devlopment Tasks - Parts of development we need to contact out such as voice acting, programming, gui, motion capture etc.
Marketing - The more we have for marketing the more we can promote the game and advertise it at gaming events, web & social media.
Reaching the goal
Getting the minimum funding is our goal. The minimum funding is primarily for the final development and licensing which we need in order to release the game to you by the end of the year or early 2014! Compared to most games 25k is a tiny budget for a game of this scope. As we only need a minimal amount for essential voice acting, music, motion capture, equipment and licenses, we are asking for a fraction of the funds that most other games like this need! We are trying to raise as much as we can through IndieGoGo and pre-orders, If we do not manage to reach the goal we will work hard to find alternative ways to raise the funds we need. This will take longer and put devlopment behind shedule but it will not stop us from finishing the game.
