Another sad news for today, this time for Static, a Fallout-like post-apocalyptic RPG: in a recent update to their project status, the Pinbox Team mentions that "As of last September 2002, the project has come to a full halt. Opportunities for publishing it have seemingly dried up, and a few of the members of the team have used this project to boost themselves into the game industry (...) as time pressed on, funding didn't appear, and we were forced to abandon active development".
"STATIC is a role-playing game that focuses on a stylistic story with unique character development in a world overcome with an identity crisis. A solitary man- a nobody from nowhere held fast in a complex web of secret mind control experiments and revenge gone sour. Unraveling this mystery spoken to you from inside your own head, you'll earn the trust of fellow survivors, confiscate an arsenal of firearms and track your progress with your ever-faithful "retro-futuristic" robot companion, "BioBuddy"." SECRET ORIGINS Early in the war, the enemy developed sophisticated weaponry that sank ships without warning, decimating any chance for retaliation and spelling doom. In response, the government ran secret tests called "Project Rainbow" in hopes of counteracting the enemy's devastating attacks. The goal of Project Rainbow was to use electro-magnetic waves to displace or make objects (ships) "invisible" to the naked eye. Project Rainbow concluded with few successes, but one initiative based on its results, called "Project Mesmerize", began deep underground in the Eldridge Military Compound. The goal of this project wasn't to hide a ship, but rather to control the human mind. Scientists for year have known that brains emit electro-magnetic pulses of varying degrees. It was hypothesized that these pulses can be altered and sent back to the brain carrying a strongly suggestive message, much like a television receives transmission signals. This function is called psycho-tronic hypnosis.
