Hello! Today we’ve got another development post for you, to bring you up to speed on when you can expect to see the next update and what it’ll have in it!
The coming update will be focused on blocks. We’ll be bringing you 3 new blocks to incorporate into your engineering masterpieces, as well as a much needed visual re-work of many of the game’s existing blocks! Below you can see some of the re-worked blocks (On the right) compared with the originals (On the left).
Now, I’d love to tell you what all the new blocks are and what they do… So I will! First up we’ve got the Crossbow Block. This block fires a replenishing projectile in the direction is pointed, has adjustable power and rate of fire! Next we’ve got the Log Block. The Log Block is the length of 3 small wooden blocks, has a different aesthetic and is much tougher than the original wooden blocks. And last but not least we have the Vacuum Block. This new block produces suction, pulling nearby enemies, objects or debris towards it! (We can’t wait to see what you use this for ^^)
We had hoped to bring you this update before the Christmas holidays but unfortunately, due to the new and unique nature of the Vacuum Block, we’ve encountered a number of issues that need to be fixed before we can release it. That means that we’ll probably be looking at a release after Christmas, we apologize for the delay but we hope that it’ll be worth it! In other development news, we have been continuing work on a number of longer term/larger game features but we're still quite a way off being ready to release, but we will keep you updated as they get closer to completion. Alongside the posting of this development update we have created a skin pack of the original block models and textures so that if you wish to continue using them, after the new models are released, you can. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=821757028 I’ve also taken the liberty of uploading the machine’s used in the Besiege trailer to the workshop, for anyone who is interested in taking a look at those masterpieces! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=821759383 Well, that’s all we have for you right now, all the remains is to wish you all a great time over the coming holidays and a happy new year! All the best guys! Cheers, Von
