The Nullpoint on Greenlight

Introducing: The Nullpoint!
We've been working on a new game here at Schell, The Nullpoint. We happy to announce the kickstarter is live!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/schellgames/the-nullpoint
It's a very different game than Enemy Mind, but we'd love to have you check it out. We're very proud of how it's turning out.
Thanks!

Major Game Update (Windows Only)
First, let me just level with you. This is no longer a paid gig for me. I’m working on the game in my free time because I love it. If there are a few of you out there that are into it, that’s really all I need. That said, I don’t have the resources to work on the mac port and so we will be officially dropping support for it, at least for the foreseeable future. If you already have the game on your mac, don’t worry, it’s not going anywhere. You’re just not going to get this update or, most likely, any future updates. I wish the game had been a big success and this wouldn’t have become necessary, but that’s just not what happened.
Now, if you’re still with me, I would also like to say that I consider this version of the game to be much more complete and quite a bit better than what was released way back when. The following list is not complete. There are lots of tweaks, plenty of polish, and a few surprises to be found. I’d love it if you’d go into the options menu and reset your game data so you can give it a go from scratch. No pressure, but if you do that, you’ll make me a very happy programmer indeed. You'll also get an achievement for it!
I’d love to know what you think of the changes. Feel free to yell at me on here or on twitter or wherever you can find me.
Thanks for playing!

Patch Notes
New Features:
- Steam Achievements are in! 34 of them, in fact.
- Certain player controlled craft can turn and fire backwards. If you see it flip, you can flip it too. Press R1 (default mapping).
- The dreaded Wave 8-9 missile barrage is gone. I’m sorry it was ever a thing.
- New credits music from the amazing Mega Beardo (megabeardo.com)
- Destroyed human craft now have a random chance at throwing dangerous shrapnel.
- Transports can now shoot fire out of their exhaust, which can kill enemies at close range.
- Title and menu screens now have high scores at top. (friends-only)
- Cheats Menu - Unlocks on game completion.
- Unlimited ammo - so you don’t run out.
- Infinite lives - play forever, if you want!
- Take no damage - No stress, just pew pew pew!
- Spawn lock - choose your faction, useful for viewing story.
- Psychedelic mode - ...will blow you mind, man!
- Big Head Mode - Makes sprites big and weird. I just think it’s funny.
- Show Hitboxes - For the bullet hell enthusiast.
- Unlimited ammo - so you don’t run out.
- In-game browseable leaderboards (Friends-Only and Global Top 10).
- Secret Codes in menus - I can’t tell you any more about those, good luck.
What’s Different:
- Changed kills required for next multiplier from 20 to 10.
- Doubled speed of all environments.
- Leaderboards display before game over screen, so players don’t have to quit to see them.
Fixed:
- Multiplier blast no longer kills enemies not yet visible.
- Enemies will not spawn into multiplier blast.
- Multiplier blast no longer causes field generators to drift. They explode immediately.
- Fixed bug preventing ships left with ammo from shooting.

Game Update: Mac Build, Humble Bundle, & Bugs Fixed
Our time in the weekly Humble Bundle has come to an end and we're very excited to welcome everyone who recently picked up the game. We've never had so many players before and it's really awesome! There are a few of you that are starting to crack some of the secrets of the game in the forums, so now's a good time to pop in.
We've also fixed a couple of very unpleasant bugs: One that caused the game to stop spawning new waves at certain points, and one that caused the game to hang forever trying to comunicate with the leaderboards if you were offline.
That's it for now. Thanks for playing!

New Rock Simulator Mode in Extras
Now you and three of your friends can drift lazily through the waves of the Human-Aratus wars as completely inert asteroids, collecting points as spaceships carelessly crash into your rocky indestructible body.
Build your multiplier and earn extra lives that you can never expend as you hurtle uncontrollably through deep space!
It's so awesome that you'll have to beat Level 3 to unlock it.
Also, we fixed a few bugs.
Enjoy, and thanks for playing!
