[WIP] - Space based first person shooter - Haxel

[ClickerMonkey]

Hi
 
Do you use any partitioning? portals? BSP? quadtrees?

We partition based on chunk, which the size is defined in the level.. for all our levels our chunks are 16x16x16.

A little update:

Added a new block behavior called "ParticleSystemBehavior"

Modder of the game can add/remove particle systems from a block on certain block events (add, remove, change, mouse intent, mouse left down, etc)

FIYA!!!


Also, improved damaged blocks:

Just take my money now. But seriously, please don't ever stop working on this, I think many of us on this forum want to play it a lot!

when do WE get to play?

This actually looks *really* promising.
I love your take on Minecraft-meets-FPS with some strategy put in the mix.

But I have to say that these last screenshots don't look as good as before, purely from an aesthetic p.o.v. (although I'm sure there are lots of technical improvements so keep them coming anyway ).

I agree, those are very boring maps.... very boring. No interesting architecture, color, etc. It is based on another Game's map, but I did add a little difference to make it less boring.

Kickstarter went live!

If you like the game idea, please support us! If you don't, well thanks for reading! I'm sure there's someone you know that would like this type of game. I'm just trying to get the word out there, I really want to work on this game full time and be able to afford professional music and art.

Thanks!

i'm not exactly professional, but if you need 3d models, i'll be glad to help.

[ClickerMonkey]

Thanks for the offer, I'll remember that!

Will be releasing a prototype for people to play with (if you've paid 15 to get map editor early).

So as a little development update, I wanted to post a screen shot of the look we are now moving toward. After much feedback, we have decided to move a bit away from the block look, at least for weapons and characters, and use proper models instead. Would love to get opinions on this move!

I think it is going to pretty sweet to have a fully destructible world yet also have some more realistic looking enemies and guns. It stinks that we are basically going to throw away the voxel modeller/animator we took six weeks to make, but maybe we can open source if or something? Comments and ideas welcome

That is very nice. I hope you can make the radar look nicer. All the FPS games I've played have an ugly radar.

love the new style, I feel it fits more to leave the voxels as 'gameplay only' rather than a defining element of the actual character's appearance, and allows for more creativity in the design of characters and enemies.

Thanks it really does!

We updated our page and video on KickStarter, we worked on defining Haxel so its far more clearer what type of game it's going to be.
