Can humanity survive two apocalypses at once? This new Kickstarter (goal: $1.4M) aims to find out:

Another idea I wish I thought of  ;D

This is a great idea!  Just the other day I was thinking that it had been ages since somebody made a game where you could play the part of a monster that shatters a big city. 

The only downside is...kickstarter project with a massive budget for a massive undertaking.  Sadly, that boat has long since sailed for me.  When I see it at retail I will get excited.  Especially seeing how Uber did not really hit a home run with their last project.

if theres no dlc playable Gus unit I dont care.
in fact, early donors should get a Gus unit free wearing a battle thong.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

The story kind of reminds me of Charles Stross' 'Laundry Files' books' CASE NIGHTMARE GREEN scenario, with added GFRs (Giant **** Robots).

Battle thong...that's genius!

Now added to my reading list, thanks!   ;)  It reminds me of Larry Correia's Monster Hunter International.

that's a little like looking at some far-out surrealist Salvador Dali painting and thinking, "now why didn't I think of that?" -- at least in this case     ;)

Come to think of it why didn't I think up all that Dali jazz too? -sigh-

Sadly, this is my approach now too. No more funding to Kickstarter or similar projects. Too many smoking craters of good ideas for me to throw money at it anymore.

I do like the idea for this and yes, immediately though of Stross' books. Would love to play it.
