Devblog 35

10 days to go before the Kickstarter launches. And there´s still a lot of work!

We´re mostly focusing on bugfixing and polishing these days before we send out Keys to the press and all the nice streamers and youtubers that have contacted us in the past year.

It´s like building a rocket and hoping that nothing ever goes wrong...

Even if it sometimes feels like we´re not getting anywhere. Writing these devblogs always remind me how much we´ve accomplished since the last devblog.

Here´s what we´ve done:

Coding

Julian is currently focusing on bug fixing only. But we couldn´t resist to add at least a bit of the content that is waiting in the pipeline.

We have also improved the AI but there´s still some work left. We have nerfed the NPC base attacks and fixed the shooting sync issues that we´ve experienced last week. Enemy faction units are finally lethal again!

We also brought back the piggy creature, the rhino and the SPACE MOO MOOS. We have a lot of crazy ideas what to do with these.

Alexander has finished the Tomahawk, our small craftable player VTOL. Vinod did a nice job on animating the landing gear and Julian spend some time on implementing the whole thing into the game. It uses the same modular system as the mechs do. You can attach all craftable weapons, modules and armor to it.

We want fresh spawns to feel a bit safe at least. But we don´t wanted to create safe zones by code. So we added a few very powerful gatling turrets around the home base of the player faction. (that´s where all new players spawn) These will attack opposite faction players, mechs and aircraft. And they do a pretty good job...

It´s time to update our trailer and shoot some new footage. This always takes a lot of time but we´re getting a lot of help from our community. Thanks so much for your patience and for helping us! We´re having an awesome time with you guys!

Julian has fixed the player turrets and added the plasma turret and air defense.

Concept Art

Our faction bases are still turbosquid placeholders. We finally want to change that! Tyson has started designing a few modular parts to start with.

We also plan to add small faction storage buildings that enemy players can hack/raid in order to steal the epic loot. These will also be part of missions.

Tyson has finished the 50 cal machine gun. It will be fired from the hip (thinking of Alien).

3d Art

Alex has rendered a few promotional shots of our T2 mech. Awesome stuff!

Osman is working on a secret project and will afterwards start on modeling all the missing T3 base parts.

Artem has finished the powerplant interior and Pantronite reactor.

I´ve been polishing the map, water and reflections. Small changes but everything looks much better now! We still have to move to Unity´s post processing stack v2.

We´ll try to post weekly devblogs and video diarys and stream every saturday 8pm UTC+2
