New Video: Powerline Demonstration! (March 24th)

March 24th, 2013 - [ZanMgt]Aaron

With the two year anniversary of Blockade Runner's beginnings, we present a new demonstration video on Powerlines!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5KEb1ShrJI

Reminder: This video is of visualizations and is *not* in game! (read more below)

We demonstrate one of the many systems we're focusing on this year now that the ship systems have our undivided attention. Note that before any of these systems are integrated, we'll be releasing our upcoming Sandbox update (see FAQ below) that rebuilds BR's foundation from the ground-up for multiplayer.

Sandbox Update FAQ:

If you've got any questions on Powerlines that were not answered by the video, fire away and we'll answer what we can!

New Video: Destruction Demonstration! (Jan 28th)

January 28th, 2013 - [ZanMgt]Aaron

After a long hiatus on videos, we demonstrate one of the systems we're focusing on this year now that the ship systems have our undivided attention (see the Battle Plan article), as well as explain a bit of the reasoning behind the months of work we've put into plating, angles, and prefabs.

Next video on the list is a visualization of the power-line systems, so stay tuned and keep an eye out for the next major update to Blockade Runner!

To reiterate: Portions of this video are visualizations, and are not in-game footage.

Closing Comments

Hopefully the video shows a little bit of the background work we've been putting into Blockade Runner, and that there is a goal in mind with the features Nathan's spent the spent the majority of his time on!

Also, I'd like to make a mention towards the N64 styling. Since we're aiming for a sandbox style for the greater portion of this year, we've reconsidered our low-poly limit and will be maintaining the higher poly count ala the Rock Monkey.

Aaaaand, quick update on the multiplayer update since I haven't caught up with the tweets on the main page yet:It's progressing very well considering it's complexity (6DOF multiplayer team building/destroying with 100% sync is no pickle), but there's still very obvious bugs that'd prevent gameplay. We need to ask for some continued patience while we iron these out.

As always, we all thank you for your support! If you have any questions or concerns, give us a holler!

I first learned of it as a Minecraft-space-thing.
I really liked the sound of that especially that my greatest wish for minecraft is the ability to Move a set of blocks, just like a spaceship.
And this game has all of it... guns, space, blocks, Building spaceships and Multiplayer!
