Dysis - What is it?

    
 

    What do you get when you combine Minecraft, Portal 2, and Age of Empires?  Why, Dysis of course!  Dysis is a hybrid between a first-person-shooter and real-time strategy with a space/robot theme.  Your goal is to survive by fighting off hostile alien species by commanding your robots to fight, or doing the fighting yourself!
    When I first heard about the game, I thought it was just a space minecraft.  Now that I've seen this video, I'm ready to let One Dimension Games take my money!  I am an avid fan of both FPS and RTS genres, and am absolutely delighted to see such an awesome combination brought to life in Dysis.
    Dysis is currently in the Pre-Beta phase, but is raising money through www.kickstarter.com to continue production.  The goal for $5,000 dollars has been far passed and the game has raised a stunning $16,000!  After the kick-starter, a prototype version will be available for those who donated $20 or more.  Then the Beta update will be released, and then eventually the full game.  Here is a video which contains more info about Dysis and how you can get involved, straight from creator Chris Farrell.  Also see http://kickstarter.dysis.net/ and http://www.dysis.net/ for even more info.
