After Reset: The Fall of Gyes - A sci-fi post-apocalyptic RPG
After Reset made it big time when Black Cloud Studios it rebooted on Kickstarter.
I honestly thought that Black Cloud Studios "After Reset: The Fall of Gyes" (a game that´s Inspired by Fallout 1 and 2, Baldur's Gate and Planescape:Torment) was gone for life, when i heard that game failed to reach it´s Kickstarter goal. But that was a long time ago. Beacuse when After Reset got a second chance on Kickstarter back in July.
After Reset just wrecked the Kickstarter goal with $94,000! (the original goal was to collect $35,000). And good thing that, because After Reset looks freaking awesome. I mean, i don´t think that a Sci-fi post-apocalyptic RPG could get much more bad ass than this.
Speaking of which. The Kickstarter campaign may be over. But you can still support After Reset by pre-ordering the game (for either PC, MAC and Linux). And there´s quite a few pre-order options to choose from. Everything from $25 to $2,500 (you will get the Steam Early Access version of the game no matter which option you pick though).
And in case you wonder. There´s no release date nailed down for After Reset at this time.
About After Reset:

The plot:
Planet Earth. 132 years after the 'Reset', the thermonuclear apocalypse that ended human civilization. Around one third of the globe is covered by 'Yellow Zones' where the ruins of cities are covered with radioactive dust. In these areas, anarchist survivor groups have taken control where uncontaminated food and drinking water are valued on a par with human life.
Another third of the earth is in the agony of the 'Red Zones', the the epicentres of the deadly anomalies that arose as a result of a nuclear chain reaction in the atmosphere and the morphing of the planet. The majority of life is not capable of surviving in the Red Zones that makes them a perfect home for mutants. The planet is unrecognizable.
