Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access will allow players to see a developer make a game in real-time. For the next 2 years IMP will be developed to completion and people can experience every update. Community involvement will be open to this process and development may very well veer in direction of feedback as the game is developed during this time. The keys I've given have yielded positive results in terms of feedback so keeping this going can only help the game as it is finished.

My goal is very simple: to publish a decent game that I as a gamer and worker in the game industry would respect for what it's set out to do.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“2 years.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to incorporate systems that will aid in player reward by algorithmically creating offline store items to be purchased with profit and an incremental difficulty system.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Please refer to "ABOUT THIS" section.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The early access price will have a discount compared to the planned release price. This is both to give the early access supporters a benefit and because we plan to have more features by the time the game is released. The final price will be announced months before release. The prices will be subject to Steam's local currency and economic suggestion which is a great system. IMP has a mission to be an affordable game in every country.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“There will be the usual social media presence and easy ways to access the Discord server and feedback and bug report forms through the game.”

About This Game

Join the IMP! A forgotten caste of warriors that rise once more to destroy the alien plague that disrupts the Imperial Refineries across the system!

IMP mixes the simplicity of arcade games and the cinematic look of modern titles to bring you the evergreen experience of being a lone space marine fighting hordes of aliens. You will be dropped straight into the fight in levels that change every time you load in. 

Prelude

You are the first wave. Your armor is old. Your guns are old. You have no support in the field. None of the fancy gear of the glory days exists anymore. You don't even know if the mission can be accomplished. The citizens of the empire see you as nothing more than a glorified exterminator...

But this doesn't dissuade you! They do not know that for the IMP, the battle is sacred!

The Rise of the IMP

Before the alien plague, the warrior caste of the Orkarian Empire withered in poverty and menial jobs as peace had prevailed for centuries. Now they can join the Imperial Marine Patrol and single-handedly take on entire swarms of alien bugs, saving their Empire millions, and allowing them to bask in the glory of profit!

Beware the cost!

The Orkarian Empire in its benevolence allows these once proud warriors to engage in their craft once more, but not without risk. If you fail, the mission cost will still be deducted from your salary. No one said making a profit was easy!

No One For Miles

The IMP work alone to maximize profit, doing their job in the desolate moons and planets that populate the outskirts of the system. It is here that the Empire extracts precious resources without any regard to the ecosystems.

Retro Philosophy

IMP embraces the offline, single player experience that ruled the video game design landscape of the 80's and 90's. Press start, begin shooting! No sign-in screens, no premium currency ads, no filler! 

Join the Journey!

This is but the beginning for IMP! Join a lone developer in early access to see how this game shapes up over the course of 2 years. Supporters are encouraged to submit their feedback and join the community to make this game grow!
