The devs did not scam, did not lie, and never did they turn their back on this passion project. They just ran out of money
[h1]In memoriam of IM[/h1] [i]Here lies Interstellar Marines, a honest (and good) attempt at the hardcore/realistic sci-fi tactical fps genre which endured from 2013 until 2019.[/i] Well, to be honest, I don't recommend the game. But if you want to explore abandoned/halted projects I more than recommend it. It's perfect for hardcore/realistic sci-fi tactical fps, or at least it would be a good try at achieving such a feat while trying to implement a survival mode with some battle royale elements. It was good while it lasted. [i]"Don't cry because it finished, be glad because it happened." --- Someone/Something (sorry I can't remember where I got this from)[/i] For the love of the game, I wish for this review to be outdated someday in the future.

It's sad that these developers didn't have enough funding, and are constantly searching for an inverstor that is interested in their project, lets hope for the best even if it will take years, cause these people didn't abandon the game because they didn't wanna finish it or some nefarious stuff, its just the real world is sometimes hard when you're trying to be ambitious.
Hello, I'd imagine you are curious how we've reached this point - many of us are. I don't know everything, but I will tell you what I know. Hopefully the story will prevent you and others from making the mistake I did. Let's begin. In May of 2005 a man woke up and said "I'm going to be a chef, and I'm going to make a soup and everyone will like it!". He got up, put on his pants, and started his soup shop - Zero Point Soup. He had never made soup before, but how hard could it be? He had tasted Halo Soup, Alien Soup, Starship Soupers, System Shock Soup, Half Life Soup - and those soups were great! He could make a triple-A soup just like those other soups. He hired some cooks to work at Zero Point Soup. "Turn this soup into IM soup, and add shark to it" he said. As they began to work on the soup, more people paid to receive the soup when it was finished. "I can't wait to try IM soup when it's ready" they'd say to each other. "Man that looks tasty, no other soup has shark in it!".On September 3 2012 he added his soup to the Soup Greenlight Program. There was a video showing his soup, and if people liked what they saw they could pay to get the soup when it was eventually completed and even get a sample of the soup. The problem was, it didn't taste as promised. It looked like a soup, but it didn't taste like the soup that was advertised. This soup was supposed to have shark in it! People began to talk. Then the problems began. He realized he couldn't afford to pay the cooks to make his soup. He had to let them go. "Did you at least put the shark in the soup?" he asked. "We couldn't afford the shark, but we made robot soup, is that ok?" they asked. "No, damn. It tastes a bit better, but it's nowhere near a complete soup" he said. He wasn't going to be able to make his soup, he realized. That's when a few of the dedicated soup community who had paid for his soup said "we will volunteer to finish your soup for you". He didn't like the idea, but eventually said they could finish his soup. After some time, they realized "hey, if we finish his soup then he's going to get rich off the recipe". One by one, they all realized they'd be better off making their own soup or working on an open-sourced soup that the community could enjoy and slowly they all faded away. "People are still working on my soup" he would claim in interviews - "we have volunteers but are also open to soup publishers that might want to fund our soup", but no soup publishers were interested. Some of the soup community went to others in the community and said "what if you went open-source with your soup? Released your recipe to the community (except for 3rd party ingredients of course) and let them work on it? Sure, you wouldn't make any money, but at least IM soup could be finished eventually. Your ingredients might even be used to help with someone else's soup. Surely that's better than nothing, right?". But the other members screeched "NO, THIS SOUP WILL BE FINISHED ONE DAY!" and "YOU ARE TRYING TO KILL THE SOUP!" and so the idea was scrapped, despite all signs pointing to the soup never being completed anyways. "Why doesn't he take some culinary classes - if he slowly learns different aspects of how to make soup then eventually even slowly he could work on the soup, right?" people would ask. He did take some classes for awhile and tried to make the soup but had no idea what he was doing. People tried to find him, but he was gone. No one knew where he was. They just hung around outside Zero Point Soup - hoping one day they would get the soup they had paid for, but it wasn't meant to be. The moral of the story is don't do what I did. There will never be IM soup. The soup I paid for will never exist and the chef has moved on with his life. Whatever the soup was supposed to be, that idea is dead. The soup community is hanging onto some misguided hope that soup money will fall from the heavens and pay for cooks to finish this recipe. Don't buy this soup, stay away from this soup community, and anytime someone tries to sell you soup make sure to check soup reviews. I honestly think it's kinda messed up to keep letting people buy this soup in the state it is in, especially if you know you've stopped trying to finish it. Be very wary of the Soup Greenlight Program and Soup Early Access. The risk isn't always worth the reward. That said, there are some exceptions to this rule. Valheim soup is pretty decent. I hope this story has helped you on your soup journey. There are wonderful soups out there made by chefs and cooks that put loads of love into their recipes. You will be much better served with one of those soups instead. Thank you for your time, ****head
I once said the game is dead to Kim's face in video conference, the servers were empty at the time, he got furious. I had believed in the game for so long but becoming a volunteer, meeting him, working on the game; all magic went out the window in an instant. I could no longer believe. Zoom past 3.5 years and the game is dead for sure, If you think this game isn't dead while he let's negative reviews rise to 87% you are delusional like him. I used to be a Volunteer Dev on Interstellar Marines. I finished the last set of features I was working on in late April. And despite my efforts up to August, beta builds weren't going out to testers, which I could do nothing about other than complain. I quit in August, it's now December and the Trello page looks exactly the way I left it showing those features as "Testing" which suggest there was no beta build after I left either. That means 0 people have worked on this game since May. If you do not count me, it's probably since December last year. Officially Kim is looking for a publisher/investor for 4 years now. Chances are miniscule at this point. No you should definitely not buy this game, not even during sales.
this is NOT a game, but a tech demo (which was quite impressive when came out in 2013) with tons of promises that have never been fullfilled. It's like Peter Molyneux wanted to make THE Call Of Duty killer, asked a small team to make the tutorial level, then the people took all the money and left. The game havent been updated since 2018, it's still a tech demo/tutorial I'm surprised it's still sold on Steam. 100% abandonware. Don't waste your money.
If they're no longer going to finish the game, is it disingenuous to continue to sell it?
Abandoned game. Should not be allowed to be sold still. Honestly, a game abandoned in early access should be refunded imo
14 years ago I supported this game. I still haven't fought the damn space sharks.
Amazing and immersive space shooter game that I cannot recommend. Its dead. I genuinely feel bad because this game has genuine ambition and a TON of talent and work put into it. The devs truly cared but alas, life had other plans. I wish them the best but either way, dont buy it.
