I haven't posted for a while as I haven't had anything particularly interesting to show, so I just want to check in to show that I'm still here.
When I get some time I've mostly been working on content in Gauntlet mode World 1. Once I've done everything in that world I'll be writing the framework that surrounds Gauntlet mode itself - that is, the process that you go through from clicking to select Gauntlet, choosing a starting vehicle, entering a level, going to the next level etc. The different parts of that are basically features the game already, but they need to be strung together and bolstered in the right ways. Luckily Gauntlet maps past World 1 will also be a lot faster to create because 90% of the time I've spent on World 1 has been in making tools and systems rather than the content itself - both creation tools, and code for the semi-random generation of the map's content when it's played.
I'll check in again when I've next got something to show.
Scraps: Modular Vehicle Combat is a vehicle combat game where you build your vehicle from parts, and where success lies just as much in designing a well-crafted vehicle as in your combat skills. Design from the chassis up, then pit your creation against humans or AI in a combat arena. When you take out other players, scavenge from their wreckage to repair or upgrade your own vehicle in-game.
Scraps lets you create a vehicle that’s great or a vehicle that sucks. Maybe your vehicle falls over when it corners or doesn't have enough power to fire its weapons – that’s okay. Maybe it doesn't need an engine because it moves by firing its cannons backwards. You decide what you drive.
Your design choices aren't just cosmetic - they're truly functional and at the very least affect the weight and balance of your vehicle. Battle in single-player against the AI, on LAN, or over the Internet. Easily host your own LAN or Internet games. Using the Scraps demo version, your friends can join a LAN game even if they don't own the full game.
