Other Vehicles and Buildings!

This post is less techy, showing off some of the assets that are coming up (and explaining a little more about the game itself). The screenshots are courtesy of Michael Page - our Vehicle and Buildings artist.

In an earlier post, you saw the Pod-Vee and the Pulse Runner. We have two more vehicles (excluding mecha) in our game.

Hover Tank

The hover tank is exactly what it sounds like - a tank that hovers. It's main weapon is a laser (the reason being that if it was a cannon... well, anyone whos seen Sergeant Bilko knows what happens when a hover tank fires a shell :P). It is the enemies' medium attack vehicle.

Hell-E-Copter

The Hell-E-Copter is a flying vehicle, with a flamethrower for its main weapon. Why a flamethrower? Because fire is awesome!

There are no guarantees that the Hell-E-Copter will even make it into the game, since we need extra AI behaviours to deal with flying vehicles. However, the model is done and ready to go if we get it working.

We also have some buildings ready to go. Without revealing too much, here is one of them.


A propaganda tower. Yes, that is me in the photo :P

Of course, Michael isn't the only one who's been working on graphical assets. Unfortunately, I don't have any renders of the player mech, though what I can do is show a screen cap from the intro cutscene:


As for the cutscene itself, you'll just have to wait until the game is completed :P

At this point a level design is still being set in concrete, level builder is being written by Rob, while engine is still being completed by Amir and myself.



Steel Arms is coming. Are you prepared?
