Plans for This Week and Next - Big Modding Example!

Hey guys!

For the next two weeks we’re going to make a mod for KAG to demonstrate a ground-up total gameplay conversion of the game, and provide examples of how we’d accomplish various things in the engine.

The game we have in mind is a multi-teamed top down ship building game, with a sprinkling of tetris. Each team starts with a “core” that spawns random blocks for building with - these blocks need to be hooked together to protect the hull and provide offensive capabilities to your ship.

Some planned possible configurations include torpedoes, detachable raiding ships, and scrap melee machines. The limit of these configurations will be luck of the parts-draw and your imagination!

Mockup: torpedo hurtles towards an unprepared team.​

There will be no direct player-to-player combat, no classes and no swimming - if you’re in the water you’ll either need to be picked up by a nearby boat or will swiftly drown, and if you make onto an enemy ship you’ll need to use their guns or bombs to do any damage (or take their controls and crash them into something). We think this will provide a unique form of versus play, and involve a lot of strategy.

Perhaps more importantly, over the next few weeks we’ll be forced to fix any bugs that get in the way of us accomplishing this goal, which will mean an easier time for modders down the road!

We’ll be keeping you posted with frequent updates and pictures :^)

Have Fun!

You gave people boulders and trampolines, and they make a cannon.
I'm anxious to see what they can do with this.

 

There better be some servers up when this comes out

 

kool

 

Hah, I remember asking you about some help in making something similar to this... but in the end was too scared to actually make it... xD
I wonder if you actually took the idea or not :o (Not saying you stole it, I was thinking of making a modded server like this but didn't have the time or the patience to do so ;w;)

 

@Geti Will this have any sort of offline singleplayer mode?

 

@Geti
I just revived that Necro'd conversation we had like... 2 months ago. It kinda seemed like it was sorta similar to my idea, that's why I'm asking. No hard feelings. :3

Mind you, it's not the same exact idea. But it has a similar game plot as the one you devs are making.

 

Will it have kiwi torpedoes?

 

Those are indeed horrible names.
