I liked the look of Shades of Vengeance’s sci-fi RPG Era: The Consortium. The British publisher’s latest Kickstarter is also tempting me and is only a handful of backers away from funding. You can follow the progress on the official Kickstarter campaign page. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shadesofvengeance/era-survival [Back this Campaign] I like how they pitch this post-apocalyptic game […]
Short film: The Most Beautiful Day
The Most Beautiful Day is a short film by Einar Kuusk. Set after the apocalypse, after the alien invasion, Sherman is trying to survive in an isolated city. His daily life is about poking around in the ruins, looking for water and scraps of food while keeping out of the way of raiders. One fateful […]
Short film: The Last Man
A solider wakes up when his stasis pod runs out of power and discovers he’s missed the war. Gavin Rothery’s short film, 20 minutes long, is expertly told and presented. There isn’t a whole load of dialogue as Richard Glover’s sergeant Jacab Stanton is left to explore what’s left of the city after the war. […]
Mutant: Genlab Alpha looks to expand the great Mutant Year Zero
I really liked Mutant Year Zero. Characters are mutants who’ve grown up in an Ark of mutants in the middle of a dangerous wilderness. Everything around them is dying. Their Elder is dying. The land is dying. They’re going to die. The game is about making a difference despite the likely fate, about exploring the […]
Short film: Sumer
This short CG is set in the last city on Earth, years after the last tree and animal died off and while some humans are now trying to escape. The planet’s ionosphere is dramatically reduced, resulting in the collapse of the ecosystem and leaving Earth open to meteor strikes. SUMER started to tour in 2014, […]
Short film: The Brink
The Brink sounds great. This is one of those YouTube short films that recommends the use of headphones for the best sound and I’d agree. In fact, JuVee Productions are using something called AstoundSound and give it a mention in the video’s title, and I wonder whether one of the goals of the film is […]
People who work with computers are three times more likely to blame them for the apocalypse
Will we suffer an end of the world? An apocalypse? If it happens what do you think the cause will be? The Midgard Serpent? A zombie outbreak? The rise of the robots? In May, Geek Native had a copy of Jon Wallace’s excellent and post-apocalyptic Barricade to give away. In the competition we asked two […]
Snowpiercer TV series optioned
There is a third Snowpiercer comic coming and Geek Native’s already shared a sneak preview. Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, we might get a TV series. Tomorrow Studios has optioned the rights, based on the 2013 Chris Evans film, to a TV series. Josh Friedman will write the script. Previously, Friedman has worked on […]
Most people confident they could survive a zombie apocalypse; especially gamers
Could you survive a zombie apocalypse? There are a lot of factors to consider – such how the end of the world came about in the first place? If the bombs drop on your home city then you’ve got far less chance than those on the other side of the world. Perhaps a way to […]
Going Nuclear: The Fallout 4 song by Miracle of Sound
If you like this Fallout 4 song by Miracle of Sound you can download it from bandcamp, Amazon or iTunes. What we have here is a gentle harmony about the end of the world. Boom. The game is due out in about 2 months and you can pre-order on Amazon. (Via Geeks are Sexy)
