The Red Solstice Alpha!
Yeah, you might have heard that we started inviting people and the rumour is true! Now we're going to make it offical! :)
We will pick 20-50 testers until the end of February (there are currently around 20 testers already).
To have a chance to become a tester, you need to do the following!
- Like our facebook page
- Support us on Greenlight
- Join the newsletter
- Register at our forums
- Tell people about it, the more refferals you have, the better the chance you get picked (we will reward you for spreading the news and maybe even give you 2 access keys instead of one!)
- Answer the question: What do you think The Red Solstice is about? Don't copy and paste the answers from the website. This will give us information on how well we presented TRS to you, and that's the feedback we need! Send your answer by private message to TRS facebook page!
Note: At this moment, there is a high chance you WILL get picked if you do all of the above. - The question is, do you want to be among the first 50 marines that get the job done?

If you have a Steam account or you would like to create one, you can vote for us and help us reach the stars.
Just log in, follow this link and press the blue thumbs up icon (saying 'Yes') right under the first video:

Support our project on Indiegogo!
We know how anxious some of you are about seeing the game as soon as possible and as great as possible. Here is a chance for you to help us achieve that.
Indiegogo is a crowd-sourced funding platform where interested supporters (that's you) pledge a desired amount to the authors with a passion (that's us) to help with the cause and in return receive various rewards for your help.
Check out The Red Solstice page on Indiegogo via this link: TRS on Indiegogo
Or check out our pitch video right here:
Whether you go for one of the higher priced prestigious and unique rewards or simply spare a minute of your time to help with one little dollar, we will be eternally grateful and hopefully on our way to improve the game that's already pretty awesome.
And don't worry, if we don't reach our goal of $10,000, each and every backer gets a full refund.
Thank you in advance!
Ironward
On a slightly related note, we deeply apologize for not being able to release the game in Q1 2012 as promised :(
We had some financial problems we tried to settle but it just didn't work out as planned, so now we have to address our community to help us.
We are still working on the game actively, but we are also gathering financial resources through Indiegogo and our fans. As soon as a fairly accurate date of release is determined, you will be first to know.

Singleplayer campaign video
We have uploaded some singleplayer footage, so check out a mission where you are playing as Tom Savage, the leader of the Special Forces Unit: Black Light.
Combat Suit that Tom Savage uses is Heavy Support, which specializes in usage of heavy weapons like a minigun, autocannon and vindicator.
In this mission you can save a friendly marine that will follow your orders and help you complete the mission easier.
We would also like to thank Andy Mack who did the voice acting for our game.

Back to the roots
Before introducing The Red Solstice trailer, we would like to share the roots of Red Solstice with you, how it all began..
The Red Solstice is based on Night of the Dead:Special Ops from Warcraft II custom map. The map expanded over the years and there are now many maps, including 2(or more) in Starcraft 2.
Here are some of most popular maps :)
Special Ops From Warcraft 3 - The Red Solstice roots... What you see there, Red Solstice will offer much more :)
Starctaft II NotD Dedicated maps:
- Special Ops Remake from W3
- NotD like map for SC2, concept is similiar, but slightly changed
We're proud that the proof of concept is here, people are still creating maps based on notd, the legacy goes around for more then 8 years. People who were around know about it, and with the release of Starcraft II, the popularity of these kind of maps expands further.
Once again we would like to remind you that we are working very hard to bring you best game possible, and I hope you will love the trailer and what we have to show.
