As we approach the v0.3 launch, we're delving into some of the new features on the horizon. Today, we’ll explore Vertical Belts and the new Quick Copy feature.

As a reminder, here's a brief overview of what's coming in v0.3:

• Stack Filter Inserters
  
• Vertical Belts
  
• Quick Copy
  
• Replacement Tool
  
• Storage Limiting

So let’s dive in!




Brace yourselves, Groundbreakers, because Vertical Belts are about to take your resource management to new heights.

Let’s take a look at the art concepts for Vertical Belts before we dive into the functionality, because they look rad.

Bill began concepting with three different ideas for Vertical Belts; a more enclosed vertical tunnel, a hovering tube, and mini platforms. The goals with this design were to make it look super cool, clearly display the belt contents, and interact cleanly with inserters.



We went with a combination of Options B and C. The main drivers for that decision were that floating intermediates and resources reduced clutter but broke the style of the game and would have needed a lot more VFX to communicate. Option C fit the industrial style, but there was too much visual clutter, so we settled on removing two pillars and keeping the 'ribs' to hang the lights on for communicating direction.

We also opted for the asymmetrical dual rail design with chunkier rings, which allowed us to convey what tier the belt is through the paint scheme, and accommodate the conveyor-style lights. Bill also refined the middle piece to be symmetrical on the corners for seamless rotation.

Below are some options for the input/output design and some early iteration on the dual rail design. The big change we made from this version of the design was the removal of the back of the ring to create a U-shaped frame.



The inputs and outputs also got a full design treatment. Inserters will work with these on all sides.



We’ve not only added Vertical Belts for v0.3, but we’ve revamped the belt-building experience with five new build modes.

Horizontal Mode: This is the classic belt-building experience we all know and love. Now you can also rotate belts seamlessly between vertical and horizontal orientations using the V or LB keys. Just remember, if you go vertical, the subsequent horizontal belts will follow Fixed Height rules.

Fixed Height: Say goodbye to the days of awkward belt drooping! With Fixed Height mode, belts maintain a consistent level, bending only upwards to avoid obstacles but never dipping below the original line segment height.

Hubs: You can flip between automatic Belt Hub placement or fine-tune your factory by placing them manually. We deep-dived the new Belt Hub features in last week’s post!

Vertical Up: Get ready to defy gravity! Hit V or LB to seamlessly transition to building Fixed-height horizontal belts.

Vertical Down: With Vertical Down mode, construct vertical belts to guide resources downward. Just like Vertical Up, you can switch to Fixed-height horizontal belts with a simple keystroke.

Vertical belts use the same resources as normal belts, so there's no need to craft anything new. They’re unlocked after activating the technology in the Tech Tree. Resources flow along them just like they would on traditional belts, ensuring seamless integration into your existing setups.

Additionally, post-construction, vertical belts can be rotated at the top, middle, and bottom sections to control the flow of resources. Inserters can also retrieve resources directly from vertical belts, not just the top and bottom hubs, facilitating automation.


Quick Copy’s functionality is threefold. When you’re looking at a machine or inserter, you’ll see the Quick Copy icon pop up.



If the machine or inserter you look at has a recipe it gives you both if you click, if you hold when the item has a filter setting or recipe, then it takes only the setting. You’ll see the machine and the recipe pop on your screen to let you know what you’ve copied.



The biggest debate about this tool internally was the name. Its initial name was the eyedropper, but the icon was not an eyedropper, which threw everyone off. Agreeing on the name Quick Copy was the fastest I’ve ever seen the team agree on a name for anything, which was impressive.



Please note that in Techtonica’s UI, the feature just says “Copy” because Quick Copy is longer and takes up more screen space. Official name is Quick Copy, but in practice, it’s Copy. Why?



For the coming weeks, we’re going to switch to bi-weekly updates. We aren’t releasing less content, just combining it into larger updates to free up some internal time.

We also have an Update Pack on the horizon, so keep your eyes peeled for that! Eagle-eyed players might have even spotted it in some of our past updates.

In the meantime, hop on over to our Discord for some memes, dreams, and to lend a hand to our fellow Groundbreakers.

Until next time, let’s get to work!

The Paradox Gate is now available! This is an endgame system that provides extra challenge and minor rewards. It is available after defeating the Doomstone. Yahoo! :-D

Steam Next Fest may be over soon, but it doesn’t mean the fun needs to end as well. We have exciting news to share with you. Moriana herself has reached out to express her delight in spending time with you all - decimating armies of valiant knights, amassing legions of the undead, and generally reveling in the mayhem. Inspired by her enthusiasm, we've decided to EXTEND THE AVAILABILITY OF THE BE MY HORDE DEMO by one week! We hope this extension will provide more players with the opportunity to experience the game. But that's not all… We have one more important announcement.


Your feedback on Be My Horde has been invaluable, and we sincerely appreciate your support in helping us shape the game into the best possible experience! The insights gained from the demo have been instrumental, and we've carefully considered your suggestions for enhancements and adjustments. We see that you want much more from Be My Horde. Thus, recognizing the immense potential of this title, we've decided to expand upon the concept and transform it into a bigger project than initially planned.



After a long discussion, we've concluded that postponing the Early Access launch by several months is the best course of action. This extension will provide us with the necessary time to further develop and refine the game, ensuring it realizes its full potential without the constraints of unnecessary time pressure. We are committed to delivering a truly exceptional gaming experience, and we will announce the exact launch date as soon as it's finalized.

PS. Please note that the submission deadline for the Horde Contest will conclude with Steam Next Fest at 10:00am (PST) / 7:00pm (CET).

Praise be Moriana!

In this minor update to Starground, the dungeoning side of things has been improved significantly, with tons of sounds and effects, on top of a new enemy. I also fixed some major issues with movers and loading a pre-existing save.

• Added music
  
• Added knockback
  
• Added weapon trail
  
• Added enemy hit effects
  
• Added attack swing sounds
  
• Added camera effects on weapon swing
  
• Added moonshroom enemy

• Improved weapon attack hitbox
  
• Made it so blade handles deals damage to the player on swing
  
• Decreased the damage the mining laser does to enemies
  
• Changed ancient automaton sounds
  
• Made it so that dungeon doors are locked off when generated

• Fixed an issue where the game would break after loading singleplayer multiple times
  
• Fixed an issue where movers would not grab items on reload
  
• Fixed an issue where the weapon image preview did not update when opening the tool bench

• All of the new dungeoning stuff doesn't work on multiplayer yet, only singleplayer. This is still a work in progress, so expect major desync issues.

SHOOT. KILL. REPEAT. - This is a future hardcore shooter with a top view. The main feature of this game is that all tasks, maps, loot are generated randomly. Each of your survival is unique! The game will feature advanced character control mechanics, similar to #tacticalunderground arcade. You will be able to shoot and look out from behind corners. In addition, you will need to manually reload your weapons, load cartridges into magazines, search for a walkie-talkie signal, and organize the placement of ammunition and things on your equipment. Each of these actions will be a mini-game. At the same time, when performing the previously listed actions, the game will not be paused, and you will be vulnerable to an external threat. Accordingly, before reloading a weapon, reloading a magazine, or performing any other action, you must find a safe shelter.
The game footage will be published soon, you can also subscribe to the Repin Develop page in VK: https://vk.com/repindevelop or Telegram: https://t.me/repindevelop
The game is planned to have a cooperative mode, but it will be absent on the release on February 20 and will appear a little later.
And now I present 3 key art of the game:
