Blasforce Update

Just a little update for anyone interested. Work on Blastforce has not completely come to a halt, it’s just slowed down to obviously work on SOL , which is coming along great mind you!  I’m at the stage with Blastforce where I need to organize some things and get everything into the right order so the game flows properly. I’ve got lot’s planned for it anyway, I just want to make sure that it doesn’t get confusing not knowing in which direction to go. It’s very open at the moment!

PS. We’re pretty much up to releasing the first demo of SOL which is pretty exciting. All that hard work paying off, finally heh.

Nimn’s awesome!

Nimn.  The guy who made the music in Mission Extreme if you didn’t know! He’s got his music site up together, with some tracks from MX aswell. So make sure you check it out. Got some really great stuff on there!

Everything coming together?

Woo. Had a little bit of the last couple days to make a bit of progress on SOL. Just trying to wrap up the start of the game so we’ll have something to show off some time in the next couple months. Hopefully for IGF, but who knows. Have to see how everything goes I guess. Have a few more enemies too battle and up to creating the first boss battle. Fun fun!

Busy Busy

Well that pretty much explains it. Work on SOL is still progressing, if not a bit slowly at the moment. We just finished up a small tech demo that Paul wanted to show off at one of his classes, but apart from that nothing much too report. With the little free time I’ve had lately, I’ve been doing a little bit of pixel art here and there so hopefully I’ll have something to show sometime soon.

Everything in order?

I think everything is in the right spot now! Well at least I managed to transfer most of the important stuff over from the old blog. This one is a bit more organised and looks prettier! It doesn’t have that annoying banner at the top either and now everything is nicely sorted in categories. Most of the hard work is done. Wish me luck!

SOL Teaser

Progress is coming along great at the moment. Ironed out all the bugs and glitches and just working on finishing up the core mechanics of the engine. Here’s a small gameplay video that Paul put together, showing off some of your abilities and equipment. Don’t worry about the slight lag, it’s just the video capturing program.

The music is only temporary and won’t be in the final release. David Newton will be composing the music for this if all goes well!

Blastforce Overhaul

Okay, so the graphics are being completely overhauled. I got sick of the constant black and white and it made the environment look a bit bland to be honest. It’ll take some work to get all the graphics up to date and changed over but I think it’ll be well worth it, hopefully?

Mission Extreme

A secret terrorist organisation has created a secret super weapon and are threatning to blow up america! We dont know exactly what it is but we are not taking any risks. They have kidnapped 20 hostages and that is why we are sending you in. Your the best we have!
Good Luck!!
