Project Genesis is 8 Circuit Studios' first major release, that is being built with all the players who love first person shooter and space combat video games in mind. While they are an indie developer, their hopes and ambitions are big, aiming to create a truly big-budget game - but they can’t do this alone.
The game is in pre-production, but the studio already needs your help to finish
Genesis. On February 1 at 3pm PST, 8 Circuit will begin closed playtest (you can apply to be a

Genesis, explains "
We're looking for those who love first person shooter games and space combat with an interest in helping shape the direction of a new genre."
If you feel like 8 Circuit's

Become A Test Pilot gameplay trailer down below:
In Project Genesis, players inhabit the A.I. mind of a support ship that learns that it must choose between self-sacrifice to save the last vestiges of the human race, or opt for self-determination to embark on its own destiny. This AI’s quest for preservation sets players out into the stars to pilot space cruisers and engage in furious combat that allows them to destroy their enemies using advanced technologies, fortify their ships from damage, and board enemy ships. Once the boarding party lands on the enemy ship, players will enter a first-person perspective as they infiltrate and eradicate enemy forces from the inside out. Destroying control points and clearing the ship gives one control over their enemy’s ship. Capturing ships and completing missions generate payouts to the victor, which take the form of XP, weapons, ammo, and in-game credits.
Project Genesis doesn't have an official release date and is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
