I'll wait for a late Alpha or early Beta build. In it's current state, I'm not really interested.

May look more into it later. Sounds badass, though. I'm going to end up only using piercing weapons. Not weapons that will put a BIG hole, but ones that put a DEEP hole.

Y u no breath spess u nubz?

Still no real game play elements to speak of, which is unfortunate. The core of the game engine is looking and feeling much more fleshed out however. My feeling is that they have been a bit optimistic about the pace of development. That said, several months have passed now of consistent development, with no signs of slowing down. Hopefully a few more months will see the implementation of building tools and the beginnings of rudimentary game play (humanoid movement, etc.)

A bit of a fun video...

Another cool vid.

Also worth mentioning that the main page lists the number of purchases as now at 1358 (although the actual number is probably higher as it is updated manually at the moment).

Fancy- thanks for keeping us posted!

[Yolan]

You're welcome!

The vid for this week has just come online. Helped me realize just how much has been done over the last month.

It is impressive, to say the least.

New update is out. This one is bug fixes, display optimization, and a couple of new blocks. Still hanging in there for new gameplay elements!

An interview with the developers is available online at

http://truepcgaming.com/2011/10/27/blockade-runner-interview/


There are now 1469 people who have payed for the game.

So, it's been a whole two months now without any update. 

The good news is that they have been working away the whole time.

The better news is that we are due now for a massive update within days, possibly hours.

The devs are as tight lipped as usual, but have revealed that the release represents one of the five major components of the game as envisioned for completion by the end of next year.  See this thread for more: http://forums.blockaderunnergame.com/index.php?topic=495.0

Watch this space.

you need to line up a piercing weapon then fire in to the hole lots of timed blast missiles, smashs up the inside,kills any crew.
note to self issue full air and pressure suits ingnore piercing weapons

[pilgrimboy]

They mention multiplayer but nothing about single player. Do you know if it is playable alone?

I have to multiplayer all day long. I like some down time where it's just me.

Pilgrimboy, after poking Gabriel from ZanMgt with your question, Blockade runner with have a full experience with Singleplayer and Co-Op in addition to the aclaimed multiplayer aspect.  It is completely playable alone.

Hope that answers the question.  If anyone has any more, feel free to ask and I'll poke another Dev for the answers! 

[pilgrimboy]

Awesome. Thanks for finding out for me. Looking forward to it.
