The Conduit. Storyline details and new screens. -
03-17-09
New info on the story, still a lot more to be discovered than what people have seen.
Also, Mr. Ford recieved a redesign, people calling the game "generic" are addressed, and new in game pics are shown.
Response to the "generic" claims:
IGN: One of the only complaints we've heard about The Conduit from readers is that it seems too basic or generic where story is concerned. What is your response to such skepticism?
Josh: We've kept our cards pretty close in regards to the story so far. I think you'll be in for some surprises. Sure, aliens have been done. Sure, square-jawed, clean-cut, duty-service-country rah-rah-rah protagonists have been done. On the surface, that's what we have. There's a lot more to the story though, and we're looking forward to people digging a bit deeper - and in the coming months we'll be revealing a lot more.
Eric: Star Wars at its core is a generic rescue the princess story. And it closely follows the mono-myth outlined by Joseph Campbell. It's the details that make that universe compelling and unique. The same is true with the Conduit.

It looks like the screens have been run over with the sharpen tool in photoshop about a gajillion times.
I probably won't get it, but I hope it's good anyways, just for you guys.

IGN: Why are the aliens attacking the planet? Any hints?
Josh: Mars needs women. No...that's not it. Plan 9 failed. No. That's not right either. Oh. I got it. They need more cattle to dissect...Klaatu is back to clean house...they've come To Serve Man. Sorry to not be more forthcoming, but you just don't have the proper clearance or need to know at this point. Perhaps if you proved your worth to The Trust...
Eric: It's a known fact that aliens hate humans. It's basic science. Next question.
XD
Sounds good. I don't really care much for stories in my games, but its nice to hear that they're trying to give a good one for people who do care.
The amount of time and effort HVS has put in this game is incredible. They have gone up on my list of favorite devs just based on how much passion they have for this game.
