Project Tool is inspired by many works of science fiction, and aims to push the genre forward in a faithful but new way. We actively consult with scientists, astronauts, NASA and even some world recognized museums to make a universe that is futuristic, but plausible. When you look at classic Star Trek, you see how much modern technology is inspired by it, with cell phones and more recently, Google Glass being great examples. So in that sense, we want to show people what technology might look like in the future via our game. Ultimately, we want Project Tool to be smart sci-fi, that has awesome gameplay and a fully engrossing storyline.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/1404855534_41.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"8341\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/?attachment_id=8341\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/1404855534_41.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1828,780\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"1404855534_4[1]\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/1404855534_41-1024x436.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8341 \" src=\"http:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/1404855534_41-1024x436.jpg\" alt=\"1404855534_4[1]\" width=\"496\" height=\"211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/1404855534_41-1024x436.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/1404855534_41-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/1404855534_41.jpg 1828w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 496px) 100vw, 496px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Check out the\u00a0trailer for the game:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L0yuwEN0m9s?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>And this video focuses on\u00a0the graphics used in the game:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aJMNrGyHj9o?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>They are <a href=\"http:\/\/toolgames.net\/game-packages.html\" target=\"_blank\">crowd-sourcing the funding<\/a> for the game with the goal of releasing it at the end of December, 2015.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Image2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"8342\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/?attachment_id=8342\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Image2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"645,465\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Image2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Image2.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-8342\" src=\"http:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Image2-300x216.jpg\" alt=\"Image2\" width=\"399\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Image2-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Image2.jpg 645w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project TOOL\u00a0is a new role playing game in development by the group Tool Games.
