Due sviluppatori, Unity 4 (upgrade a Unity 5 24-10-2015), motore fisico, un gioco dove costruire le più disparate macchine da assedio medievali: dalle tradizionali catapulte, ai maestosi trabucchi, alle fantasiose macchien volanti di ispirazione Leonardiana. Besiege: pistoni, ruote dentate, proiettili, frecce, cannoni, corde di torsione, giunti.... l'unico limite è la fantasia! Possibilità di esportare e condividere le proprie creazioni.

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/apps/346010/f567cfb6308472b4ed09d7c75b58596a9bbdc8e3.ico Stato dello sviluppo:

Piattaforma:
Early access su Steam e DRM free (Humble), pc, mac linux.

Roadmap:
- Data completamento prevista: metà / fine 2016
- Patch minori ogni 2-3 settimane (bug fix, nuovi blocchi, bilanciamento.
- Patch maggiori ogni 2-3 mesi (nuovi livelli, nuove meccaniche di gioco.
(tempistiche indicative)

Stato attuale:
- Alpha 0.003
Include:
- Campagna 1 (15 livelli)
- Sandbox area

Prezzo:
- Varierà con l'avanzare dello sviluppo.
- 6,99$ tramite Humble Widget (http://www.besiege.spiderlinggames.co.uk/), versione DRM free e Steam key.

- 6,99€ Humble Store (https://www.humblebundle.com/store/p/besiege_storefront), versione DRM free e Steam key.
- 6,99€ Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/346010/), Steam key.

MINIMUM:
OS: Windows XP (latest SP)
Processor: Core 2 Duo
Memory: 1 GB RAM
DirectX: Version 9.0c
Hard Drive: 1 GB available space

AVVISO DA RIVERIFICARE DOPO L'UPGRADE A Unity 5 del 24-10-2015 - Attenzione: i Devs consigliano questi requisiti per macchine da assedio da max 50 parti. L'Unity engine 4 carica la fisica sulla cpu e non sulla gpu. Informatevi bene su forum ufficiale e / o Steam community. In ogni caso molti effetti video si possono disabilitare e rallentando la velocità dello scorrere del tempo si guadagnano fps.

Molto molto interessante! Una specie di Autocraft medievale! :D

[Axios2006]

Performance test con il desktop in firma:

Cpu load 36%

Gpu load 45%

60 fps costanti, macchina da 50+ parti

1280x1024

Blood, Shadows, SSAO, FXAA, DOF, Bloom, Vignette attivati.

Velocità di play: 100%.

Quindi ammesso che con più parti laggasse, hai voglia di roba da disattivare... :asd:

Appena comprato ed installato! Ma come cavolo si fa a far sterzare le ruote?!

Grafica SPETTACOLARE.. anche prestazionalmente parlando.. wow!

[DenFox]

Ho trovato un metodo infinitamente migliore degli steering hinge per sterzare! Praticamente devi cliccare su Key Mapper + Paramenter Tuning (la chiave inglese in alto) e poi cliccare sulla ruota davanti a destra e mettere per forward "left" e per reverse "right", viceversa per la ruota davanti a sinistra mettete per forware "right" e per reverse "left", le altre ruote di dietro le lasciate normalmente con "up" e "down". Così facendo si ha un effetto cingolo di carro armato e la macchina sterza molto meglio!

Devo cominciare ad usare Tapatalk.. li le firme neanche escono.. :rolleyes: e non ho preso mica solo Besiege.. presto ti arriverà un altro messaggio carico di odio fidati..

Comunque peccato che attualmente il limite di blocchi è un po' basso, spero lo aumenteranno (anche in altezza) e che le prestazioni, in quel caso, siano migliori. Ho fatto un carro d'assedio tremendo ma appena messo a terra laggava di brutto .. ho un po' esagerato haha! :D

Il limite di blocchi, c'è già il tasto per rimuoverlo. Solo la vittoria non viene considerata valida per il superamento del livello.

Abbassa la velocità di play. ;)

Su, non tenermi sulle spine, che altro hai preso? :asd:

Ah e devi anche evitare di vedere le mie attività su Steam... :asd:

PS: già visto Infinifactory?

Si avevo visto che si poteva disattivare quella griglia, ma vedendo che laggava già all'interno del limite normale neanche ci ho provato a superarlo.

Effettivamente non ho provato a ridure la velocità del play.. mai fatto ancora. Proverò! ;)

PS = In effetti sto pensando a rimuoverti dalla lista amici di Steam... molte cose migliorerebbero :asd:

Infinifactory? Devo vederlo meglio.. so che è fatto da gente "OK", ma il "puzzle-oriented" non è che mi faccia impazzire come genere. In ogni caso stasera ne ho preso altri 2 dalla tua firma. Mobbasta! :asd:

Insomma volevo dirtelo nell'altro thread, ma vedo che non resisti! :asd: :D
E' Door Kickers.

Mi resta solo Windward da prendere per quanto mi riguarda. Gli altri 3 che restano (Running with Rifles, Space e Medieval Engineers) non credo di prenderli mai per mie ragioni (ma sono OTTIMI giochi).

Salvo espansioni di firma improvvise.................. :fagiano: :D

[Axios2006]

So today we’re bringing you V0.05 as well as information about the next major update, which will be V0.1, and some long term improvements to Besiege.

V0.1
We’re going to be changing things up over the next few weeks to push through content that there is a growing demand for. We will be skipping the next minor update in order to bring you the first major update faster.

This major update will be V0.1 and will mainly focus on new levels. We do have some other features we’re hoping to get in alongside the new levels but we don’t want to talk about that just yet in case they don’t make the final cut.
V0.1 will introduce you to a new Island that has 4 new levels to start with. We expect that it will be ready in 4 weeks time.

V0.01 will introduce a new island to Besiege with new sceneary, structures and inhabbited by new enemies. The new island will start out with 4 levels, more will be added as time goes on, and offer new challenges to the player

Unity 5 & Steam Integration
As I’m sure most of you are aware, Besiege was created on the Unity engine. Probably less of you aware that there is a newer version of this engine called Unity 5. Unity 5 offers a number of improvements over 4, the one we’re most interested in is performance. We estimate that moving Besiege over to Unity 5 could offer us a performance gain of at least double.
This would allow people to build much larger machines and potentially allow us to create levels with more assets.
Unfortunately there is an issue that is preventing us from moving to the new engine, Unity is aware of this issue and hopefully it is something they can fix in the near future.

We’re also looking at Steam integration, there are a number of Steam features that we feel will compliment Besiege.
The sharing of machines between players has become almost as much a part of Besiege as building something yourself, we want to find ways to better support this, naturally Steam Workshop comes to mind.
We’ve also had a lot of requests for greater challenges in the game. Everyone’s skill level is different so we don’t want to make the game too difficult for our more casual players, but we need to provide tougher goals for those that want them. This is why we’re looking at Steam Achievements, they would give players who crave a challenge a much harder goal to strive for and of course give them bragging rights to their Steam friends.
We will also be looking at Steam Trading Cards in the future but for now our focus is on game content.

V0.05
For this up date we’re bringing you a few new blocks as well as improvements and bug fixes.
The update isn’t as full as previous updates, this is because we’ve been trying to focus more on level design

Ops sorry.. ieri avevo capito che era incluso in questo major update.. invece sarà nel prossimo.. ok ok. Varrà lo stesso perché molto probabilmente tra 4 settimane non la potrò provare.. vi contatterò poi allora! :D
Ero curioso di sapere più che altro se le "missioni" procederanno con lo stesso stile.. o saranno più varie.. :) Mi piacerebbe un qualcosa di più complesso.. staremo a vedere! :)

News on V0.1

Hello everyone,

This is just a small message to say that we’ve been working really hard over the last few weeks on the next update and it’s going really well! There are just a few more things that we’d like to add, tweak and give some extra polish to which should take us a few more days.
We’re really sorry about the delay and we thank you all for your patience as we figure out how fast we can produce different forms of content.

In the meantime we’ve got some screenshots, showing a couple of the new levels, for you:

http://i.imgur.com/Saaungtl.jpg (http://i.imgur.com/Saaungt.jpg)

http://i.imgur.com/wY2NA70l.jpg (http://i.imgur.com/wY2NA70.jpg)

We have also designed a completely new brick destruction system for the update. In the new levels you will be able to ruin buildings with sufficiently large impacts or by taking out supporting structures, causing them to crumble into a heap.

Unfortunately we won’t be upgrading to Unity 5 in the next update, there are still bugs that are preventing us from completing the port from Unity 4.

A few people have expressed some interest in the exact nature of the issue, unfortunately it affects all motorized blocks, you can read more about it below:

http://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/dampning-does-not-work-for-configurable-joint-using-angularxdrive-set-to-position-only-drive-mode

We’d once again like to thank you all so much for your patience, we realize it’s been awhile since the last update but be assured we are working hard to bring you the next one!

Thank you all for your continued support.

[Axios2006]

Major Update 1 - V0.08

Hello everyone!

We’ve just released our first major update, bringing Besiege to V0.08!
Why V0.08 and not V0.1 or V0.06 you ask?
The version labeling system we are using for Besiege represents our progress towards the official release version, V1.0 We had initially planned to go to version 0.1 with this update but there were a few things that we weren't able to implement, so we weren’t satisfied with calling it V0.1 just yet.

I’m sure many of you are aware that we’ve exceeded our original deadline for this update by a week and for this we are sorry. The speed at which we can produce different forms of content is still unclear and we’re really grateful for your continued patience.
With that all being said the next few updates will be minor ones and at this point we can’t say when the next major update will be released.

Anyway, without further ado here’s V0.08:

With V0.08 we’re introducing a new island, Tolbrynd. This island will start out with 5 levels with an additional 10-15 to be added in later updates. We’re also giving you two new blocks; a High Friction Plate to help with walking machines and a Drill for drilling people… stuff...



Changelog v0.08

CHANGES


Camera now moves parallel to floor
Increased camera far clip plane from 500 to 1500.
Cannon ball is now 2x heavier
Boulder now breaks above a certain impact force


FIXES:


Fixed camera behaving strange after balloons pop
Fixed bug where pressing ‘I’ in the key mapper would set slider value to 0


Over the next few weeks we’ll be releasing some minor updates to deal with any issues that crop up with the new levels, as well as giving you some more blocks for you to play around with.

Minor Update 6 - V0.09

Hello everyone!

We’ve had quite a hectic past few weeks, bringing you this minor update (V0.09) as well as working on more levels and some other exciting new features for the next major update (V0.1).

We aim to release V0.1 in around 6 weeks’ time, but before that we plan to tell you a bit more about those features mentioned above, so keep your eyes open for upcoming announcements.

Something else we wanted to talk about in this post is mods for Besiege. We’ve been truly amazed at the variety and speed of mods being created by members of the community. We would like to say a big thank you to all those involved in creating content, it’s wonderful to see it bolster our growing community of players! If you haven’t done so already you can check out a full list of mods here: http://forum.spiderlinggames.co.uk/forum/main-forum/besiege-early-access/modding/7632-master-list-of-mods-projects
But please bear in mind it may take time to update them following the release of this update!

So, enough blathering; in this minor update there are 3 new blocks as well as improvements to the UI and various bug fixes. We hope you enjoy using them to make new machines or augment existing ones!

You should also be aware that we’ve made some changes to our joint system, in preparation for future bug fixes, that may cause some more complex machines to break. For this we are very sorry and we’re working hard on the problem!

Changelog V0.09

ADDITIONAL CONTENT

Alberto

Tenuto conto che uscirà a metà / fine 2016, è già molto che stiano facendo uno sconto ora, dato che è un prezzo già fortemente scontato rispetto al prezzo di rilascio.

Attualmente offre una ventina di livelli ed una sandbox. Oltre 50 pezzi per infinite combinazioni.

Migrerà a Unity 5 a giorni.

Su youtube puoi trovare uno sterminato campionario di tutto ciò che è possibile creare.

Scordavo di dire che è perfettamente stabile, certo un pò lento se superi i 100+ pezzi. ma Unity 5 migliorerà il tutto.

Come Devs, finora hanno rispettato le scadenze e nell'unico caso di ritardo (bug introdotto da Unity 5) hanno ampiamente avvisato la community.

Information on The Next Update!

Hello!

Today we’ve got some information for you about the next major update, which will be version 0.1!
Work on V0.1 is going very well and we estimate that it will be ready for you in 2-3 weeks time.

Before we talk about the update’s contents, we’d like to talk a bit about update scheduling. We’ve decided to scrap the old schedule in favor of a new clearer and simpler format. The new update schedule will make it easy for you to see the kind of content each update will bring and when it can be expected.

So lets talk V0.1

Steam Workshop
Yes, this one has been heavily requested ever since we launched the game on Steam but unfortunately it took us longer than we had initially expected. In version 0.1 you will be able to quickly and easily share your ingenious machines with the rest of the Steam community.

New Levels
The island of Tolbrynd will be expanded upon in version 0.1, with the addition of 5 new levels.

Thats all for now and we look forward to seeing how you get on with the new update in 2-3 weeks time!

All the best,

Von

Major Update 2 - V0.10

Hello everyone!

We’ve just published our latest Major update, V0.10, and we also have some news about Besiege’s Development.

Basically, we have begun the process of expanding the game’s development team.

Introducing the new members of the team to the project will take time and may see the content of updates diminish slightly as we get them situated. For this we apologise. There’s a lot of organisational stuff we’ve got to sort out related to this and it's something we’ve never done before.

In the short term we will be moving to a monthly update schedule to allow us the flexibility we need for dealing with these new challenges.

However, in the long term expanding the team will allow us to pursue more crazy and exciting features for the project, as well as an increase in production speed!
Again, we greatly appreciate your patience as we find our feet.

Right, on to the more exciting stuff!

Steam Workshop
You can now quickly and easily share war machines with other members of the Steam community.

To download someone’s machine all you need to do is browse the workshop for a machine you like and then click subscribe. This will automatically download the machine and place it in your saved machines folder.

Uploading your own machines to the workshop can be done in the load menu. Simply click the small Steam logo in the bottom corner of your machine’s thumbnail, select the appropriate tags and press upload.
You can also update machines that you’ve already uploaded by clicking the update option. This will then sync to everyone who has downloaded your machine updating it in their game to show your latest improvements.

New Levels
We’ve got 5 new levels for you to sync your teeth into with this update. We don’t want to spoil them so we’ll just let you explore them yourselves.

Other Stuff
There are 2 new blocks with V0.10, a grenade and small propeller, as well as some other improvements & bugfixes.

Well, we look forward to seeing the chaos you create with this latest update!

Changelog V0.10

ADDITIONAL CONTENT

Added Steam Workshop Support
Added 5 new levels
Added Remote Grenade Block
Added Small Propeller Block


IMPROVEMENTS

Changed background colour for new machine thumbnails
Grabber can now grab static objects and the ground

FIXES

[Axios2006]

Minor Update 7 - V0.11

Hello everyone,

Today we’re releasing our latest update for Besiege, bringing it to version 0.11. We’re sorry that it’s a bit later than we initially planned, we encountered some pretty serious issues in our initial playtesting that needed addressing.

In this update we’re bringing you 2 new blocks and 2 more, newly titled, ‘God Powers’ for you to play with.
We’ve added a Water Cannon Block as well as a Rope & Winch block, which can be wound up or unwound and the rope can be cut by a sharp object.
The God Powers that we have added allow you to turn Gravity on and off at will, as well as the ability to drag objects around during the simulation!

Last but not least we’ve got a fix to a bug that a lot of you builders out there have found frustrating. We’ve finally managed to fix the issue where various mechanical blocks intermittently stop working.
Although we’ve tried very hard to avoid breaking any existing machines with this fix, there may be some machines that are adversely affected by this change. Be assured that we will do our best to address any issues that arise!

We really hope you enjoy these new additions and as always, thank you!

Von

Unity 5 Progress

Hello Everyone,

Today we thought we’d take some time out to tell you a bit about what we’re working on at the moment and about the next update!

Most of you will be aware that we’ve been trying to port Besiege to Unity 5 for some time now with little success, that is until recently.
We are happy to announce that, owing to some significant breakthroughs in the past few weeks, Besiege will be moving to Unity 5 in the next update!

Unity 5 will offer some significant improvements to the game, the most notable of which is physics performance. Unity 5 uses a much newer version of PhysX which has support for multithreading, which will allow Besiege to use your CPU far more effectively than in the past.

We’ve put together an example for you below, showing the difference in FPS experienced while playing the game. I’d also like to point out that the Gif capturing software I used to create this comparison is the reason that the FPS is below 60 on the Unity 5 example.

Unity 4

Unity 5

http://i.imgur.com/zxfx4Sw.gif

The version of PhysX used by Unity 5 will also offer us changes to the stability of Besiege’s physics. Below is a comparison showing how Unity 5’s physics stabilizes in a more realistic fashion.

http://i.imgur.com/bcKVRwc.gif

Although we expect most of the changes encountered will be positive, there is always the chance that existing machines could be adversely affected by the game’s physics performing differently.

Now on to the bad news, we’ve encountered some bugs during the port that we will need to get fixed before the new update can be released. This means that V0.12’s release will be delayed by about 3 weeks whilst we work to fix these issues.

We decided to include some of the issues in this announcement so that you can see for yourself the kinds of kinks that we’re trying to iron out.

Wheels in the new build are wobbly which causes a number of issues when it comes to the different steering methods that people have designed.

http://i.imgur.com/oXFmhUg.png

If particles collide with a moving object they appear out of thin air in the center of the world.

http://i.imgur.com/vzAqDzO.gif

As well as some other issues that aren’t particularly interesting to look at.

So in conclusion, porting Besiege to Unity 5 is going well but there are still a few issues that need sorting out and because of this we are, unfortunately, pushing the update back by 3 weeks. As well as this, once the new update is out, we’ll be increasing Besiege’s price to represent the level of content now in the game. Hopefully you’ll see that it was worth the wait, and we thank you for your continued patience and support!

Ho appena finito di leggere su Steam.. molto promettente!! :)

Major Update 3 - V0.20 (Unity 5)

Hello Everyone!

Today we’re bringing you an update for Besiege, V0.2, which brings the game to the Unity 5 engine.

In addition to Unity 5 we have added a new block into the game called a Pin. The pin can be used to anchor the block it’s attached to, preventing it from moving until you press its hotkey.
We’ve also introduced a new god tool, Infinite Ammo, which prevents flamethrowers from running out of fuel and allows cannons to be fired an unlimited number of times. You can now also place stuff on Grabbers!

Unity 5 brings with it significant improvements to performance as well as some changes to the game’s physics which, on the whole, make for a more stable experience. Our testing has shown up to a 400% increase in performance on some machines!

We put together a quick video to compare the difference in performance between Unity 4 and 5:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYuPNmSnrB4

Unfortunately, due to the engine’s current state, there are some bugs which we haven’t been able to fix or workaround. Whilst these issues are currently unfixable, we will endeavour to speak with Unity and hopefully they will be able to offer a solution in future versions of the engine. We’ve thought long and hard about whether to release Unity 5 in its current state, but we’ve believe the performance gains outweigh the downsides.

The two biggest issues we have named “Wobbly Wheels Syndrome” and “Symmetrical Vibration Glitch”.

Wobbly Wheels Syndrome (WWS) means that in some cases the wheels bend on their joints, often storing up force and then suddenly releasing it or causing enough pressure to break the block that they’re attached to. Most of the time WWS doesn’t impact gameplay what-so-ever but because of this issue, some steering methods can become extremely unstable, especially if used on a very heavy machine.

Symmetrical Vibration Glitch (SVG) normally occurs when you build a symmetrical pattern that is suspended from 1 central block. The engine appears to have trouble discharging vibration energy if a pattern is symmetrical, allowing it to become more and more violent until it rips itself apart. SVG can be prevented by bracing between the opposite ends of a pattern.

There are also several other minor issues that we need to fix (unfortunately we just ran out of time) and perhaps even some that we failed to find during our playtesting. We hope that you, the community, will help us find and identify any other problems through our forums or the Steam forums.

We know that many of you will be disappointed that we haven’t managed to pack more content into this update. Whilst we have been working on several features alongside the port to Unity 5, it has taken up a lot of our time and we weren’t able to get all of them into this release.

Below you can find couple of the things we’ve been working on that you can expect to see in the next update:

Camera Block
We’ve been working on an invisible camera block that can be attached to your machine. You can configure it to behave in a variety of ways, switching to the view of the camera block using a hotkey and it can be used for things like chase cams.

Block Search Function
The block search function allows you to quickly and easily search for blocks across all categories, including blocks that you add to the game using added by mods!

I’d also like to take this opportunity to remind you all of the wonderful and ever growing array of mods created by the Besiege community. Our Forum’s Mod Pages offer the best way to browse through all of Besiege’s mods and they also contain a simple and guide explaining how to install mods. http://forum.spiderlinggames.co.uk/modcategories

We hope that you enjoy the update and we apologize for the delays in bringing it to you.

Update 11 - V0.23

Seasons Greetings!

Today we’re bringing you Besiege V0.23, which introduces 5 new levels to the Tolbrynd island.

Initially we had planned to release these levels alongside some other useful new features, but unfortunately we’ve encountered some serious performance issues which need to be resolved before they can be added.

As we are currently unsure how long these issues will take to resolve we’ve decided to go ahead and release the levels on their own. There is still a chance that we’ll be able to resolve the issues before Christmas but we are more likely looking at some time in January.

We’re terribly sorry about delaying the feature release but we felt it was best to bring you some of the update’s content now rather than postpone it until the other half is ready.

We hope that you enjoy these new levels and that you all have a great time over the holidays.

[Larsen]

domani aggiorno :D

[Axios2006]

Update 12 - V0.25

Today we’ve got the second half of our latest major update, Version 0.25.
Version 0.25 introduces; new features, improvements, bug fixes and a wide array of optimizations to the game.

Key Mapper
Firstly we’ve completely overhauled the Key Mapper tool giving it a new look and greater support for mods. We’ve also added some new options for the following blocks; Wheels, Cogs, Drills, Steering Hinges, Spinning Blocks, Balloons, Cannons and the Grabber.

As shown above, Steering Hinges now allow you to set limits for their rotation, in order to prevent accidentally snapping your own wheels off.

Search Function
As the list of blocks in Besiege continues to grow we’ve added a much needed search function, allowing you to quickly and easily find the block you need.
The search function is clever, you don’t have to use the full names of blocks in order to find them, even just a single letter from each word will work (For example, w b for wooden block). You can also use descriptive terms such as metal to show all metal blocks.

The new search function also works with blocks added by mods!

Save System
Besiege’s save system as been completely reworked. War Machines are now saved in an XML format which allows for much easier and more powerful save editing as well as greater support for mods.
A number of minor issues with saving machines have also been addressed including being able to use special characters in the machine’s name and problems caused by foreign keyboards.

DON’T WORRY! .bsg machines can still be loaded in the game and the next time you save it will be converted to the new file type!

Other Useful Features
We’ve added some extra functionality to the undo system. We’ve added the ability to undo deleting a war machine as well as a second shortcut for re-doing actions.

Holding X or delete for more than half a second will now start deleting multiple blocks, no more bashing the keyboard to delete sections of your machine.

Unfortunately we have decided not to implement the camera block in this update because we’re not happy with the way it performs. Apologies for the delay but it will be coming in a future update.

Beginning this month I’ll be making a monthly community post which will feature the best community creations of the month, competitions/challenges, new mods and information about Besiege’s development.

We hope that you enjoy this update and we’re sorry for the delay, unfortunately we had a major setback before christmas and it’s taken us longer to recover from it than we previously expected.

Thank you all for your support since our entry to early access, you’ve made this a fantastic first year for Besiege and everyone here at Spiderling!

[Axios2006]

Update 13 - V0.27

Hello!

Today we’ve got another content update for you, V0.27, which brings a number of improvements and some extra blocks for you to play around with.

Camera Block
The camera block can be attached to your war machine and provide a second, fixed perspective of your contraption. The block should allow for much greater control of flying machines and easier navigation of the environment. It has 4 different modes to choose from and each mode has a number of options you can tweak to fulfil your specific needs.

The block is activated by a hotkey, which can be changed using the parameter tool, allowing you to place as many of them on your machine as you want.

Rocket/Firework and Large Unpowered Wheel
We’ve added both an explosive Rocket and Large Unpowered Wheel to the array of blocks available to construct you machine.

The Rocket is highly customizable, allowing you to change; thrust, delay before explosion, explosive force and even the colour of the explosion itself.
They can be used as an offensive weapon to great effect or fixed to your machine to provide thruster capabilities to your war machine!

The Large Unpowered Wheel is, just like its smaller counterpart, a wheel that rotates freely without any torque behind it.

Other Improvements

We’ve taken this opportunity to make some other useful improvements to the game, which people have asked for.
There is now an option in the Piston’s parameters to make them extend whilst your in build mode, before the simulation starts.
We’ve added a reverse option to the flying blocks parameters, allowing you to invert its thrust.
The flamethrower now has a range slider which can be altered.


I’m sure that many of you will be disappointed we weren’t able to bring you any new levels this time around but we are working on them and we’ve got some very exciting features for Besiege on their way.

We hope that you all enjoy the new blocks and we look forward to seeing more of your extraordinary and often terrifying creations.

Cheers,

Von

Information About Version 0.3 and Beyond...

Hello!

So today we’ve got some information for you about what we’re working on and what you can expect to see in the coming update V0.3.

We are aware that many of you are growing frustrated at the seeming lack of development and ever longer periods between updates and this is our fault for not communicating more regularly with the community. We are sorry about this and we will endeavor to regularly post progress updates as we develop Besiege further.

Over the past few months we have been working on a number of long term large scale feature additions for Besiege. The development of these features is going very well and they are getting ever closer to a releasable standard. We don’t want to spoil the surprise just yet but it would be fair to say that these are things the community has been asking for from day one.

Development of Besiege’s next campaign continent, called Valfross, is underway and will bring new types of challenges and visuals that will hopefully be unique enough to justify the wait. Valfross is an icy, wind-battered kingdom that has been mostly deserted since ancient times. We’ll be giving you a sneak peak into some of these new levels after the release of V0.3.

Moving away from vague glimpses into the game’s future we’ve got some information about what you can expect to see in the coming update.

We’ve been working on a new sandbox environment with a unique design and a much larger scale. A lot more thought was given to the use of flying machines in this sandbox than the original because, to be frank, we didn’t expect anyone to ever master the art of flying. How wrong we were…



In addition to the new sandbox we’ve been working on another system for modding blocks that we’ll be unveiling on release day of V0.3, but suffice to say that it will offer a great deal more customization from Besiege’s modding community.

Unfortunately, and here’s the bit you’ve all been waiting for, we are still quite a way off from having the new version in a releasable state. We’re reluctant, as always, to set a firm release date but we are certainly still looking at weeks.

We know that some of you are disheartened by the recent pace of Besiege’s update releases but your patience is allowing us the time we need to develop larger-scale features for updates further down the line.

Finally, with regards to our abysmal communication with the community, we are going to be bringing you a regular update post every 2 weeks. This post will feature information about Besiege’s development and what is going on in the community.
We hope that this has reassured you that Besiege’s development is still moving forward and that we’re working hard to bring you the content that you want to see.

Thank you for your patience and continued support,

Cheers,

Von

Update 14 - V0.30

Hello everyone!

Today is the day that we’re launching version 0.3 of Besiege! We had planned to release it Friday night but unfortunately we ran into some very pesky bugs at the last minute and its taken most of the weekend to resolve them, so we're sorry for the delay!
Version 0.3 includes two new sandbox levels as well as the new skin/model loader for importing custom textures and models into Besiege, alongside some bug fixes for a variety of issues.

The New Sandbox

Since the very beginning of Besiege, the sandbox environment has been the most popular choice for builders, machine fanatics and youtube showcases alike. For these reasons we spent a bit of time examining why people like the sandbox environment and what improvements could be made to expand the player’s experience.

The new sandbox environment is quite a bit bigger than the old one. The above image shows a white square overlayed to represent the size of the old sandbox level. It includes structures and elements from the game you’ve played through thus far and some that you haven’t experienced before! The level was designed with aircraft in mind, so should prove a more interesting testing ground for your flying machines.

In addition to the sandbox level shown above, we have also added another sandbox environment that is quite large but is quite barren in features. Those of you that love to create huge machines, this level should be just the thing for you!

The Skin Loader

The other part of this update is the new ‘Skin Loader’, used for importing custom textures and indeed models to replace the default blocks in Besiege. Downloading and using custom textures/models is as simple as copying files into a folder or subscribing to a pack on the workshop. Once that’s done you will be able to apply your new packs to specific blocks or an entire machine.

Creating your own custom texture & model packs is also a very simple process and we plan to produce a video tutorial showing you how it’s done. But all you really need is to copy an image into a block’s folder and then it can be loaded as a texture, likewise creating a .obj model and putting that into a block’s folder will load the new model! Note that you don’t have to have a model to change a texture and you don’t have to have a texture to change a model.

As part of the ‘Skin Loader’s’ implementation we’ve reorganized the workshop and divided items into two separate types, Machines and Skin Packs. We’ve also created a new sub-section of the modding board on our forum, specifically for the publishing and discussion of Skin Packs.

I've also thrown together a basic guide on how to use and create Skin Packs, which can be viewed here: http://forum.spiderlinggames.co.uk/forum/main-forum/besiege-early-access/modding/skin-packs/43678

Alongside the above we have a number of bug fixes which will be listed in the patch notes at the bottom of the post.

We know that many of you are desperate to get your hands on new campaign levels and, as we’ve said in the previous fortnightly post, we are working on them. Unfortunately we can’t say yet when they’ll be ready but we hope that it will be worth the wait!
I’d also like to re-iterate that development is continuing on a number of features we, and you the community, want to see in Besiege before its official release. We’re also aware that some of you fear that Besiege will be one of those early access games that loses its way and never finds a release date, be assured that we have an internal roadmap and release target.

With all that being said, we really hope that you enjoy these new additions to Besiege and we can’t wait to see the creative stuff that you guys come up with!

Cheers,

Von

Update 15 - V0.32


Hello everyone!

Today we have another Besiege update for you, Version 0.32! Over the past few weeks we’ve been working hard to eradicate a lot of Besiege’s bugs, that have been building up since release. Whilst this update is mainly about those fixes we’ve also got a new tool for you to try out, The Symmetry Tool!

The Symmetry Tool

The symmetry tool has been on the cards for a while now, basically it allows the builder to symmetrically place blocks with a single click. You can mirror the placement of blocks across three different axis in order to speed up the production of your war machines!


Bug Fixes

The main portion of version 0.32 is bug fixes, in total there are fixes for 62 bugs in the update and made a number of improvements.
We've also had to make significant changes to the game's joint system in order to address some fundamental flaws that were causing serious bugs. As a result we have improved joint stability, however it is possible that certain machines may not function as before and that certain build practices will be adversely affected, these include:

---We fixed a rotation bug that would prevent blocks from attaching correctly, machines that relied on this bug will no longer work properly.
---The Pin Block is now far more rigid, some machines may experience parts snapping off if they are not properly supported when using Pins.

In other news, level production is going very well and we’re hoping to have the next couple of campaign levels soon! Work on other unannounced features is also proceeding well and we should be announcing them in the near future!

We really hope that you find the symmetry tool useful and enjoy a less buggy experience whilst playing Besiege. We’re sorry for the lack of new content in this update but we wanted to spend some time fixing the many bugs that have been mounting up since Besiege’s early access release.

Thank you for your continued patience and enjoy!

Von
