Robocraft 2 - Freejam_ChrisC
Hello Robocrafters!

If you didn't know...

EVERYTHING IS A BLOCK!

In Robocraft 2, every map and objective is built out of blocks using an in-game world editor. This world editor is currently locked to be used only by the development team. But we do want to allow players to use it in the future to create their own maps.

Today we wanted to show off some of the blocks that are exclusive to the world editor. Check out the video below

IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad - -DED-Rapidus
Dear Friends,

Our project had received numerous improvements in the recent months, including the customizable tactical numbers for aircraft and ground vehicles in all game modes. Since we always strive to upgrade the existing content of the sim using the new features, we’re going to update the existing payware and free campaigns and share some of our plans on the new ones.

EXISTING PAYWARE CAMPAIGNS
Ten Days of Autumn (Bf 109 F-2, Moscow):

it will be reworked to correspond to the modern IL-2 standards;
the amount of aircraft and ground vehicles in the missions will be increased by 30%;
all aircraft will have accurate tactical numbers;
we’re evaluating the possibility to offer this campaign on Steam.
Battle of Stalingrad campaigns: Blazing Steppe (Yak-1 Series 69), Fortress on the Volga (Bf 109 G-2) and Ice Ring (IL-2 mod. 1942):

the amount of aircraft and ground vehicles in most of the missions will be increased by 15-20%;
all aircraft will have accurate tactical numbers;
there will be additional fixes and tuning.
You’ll get these improvements in the coming update. And since there is always room for perfection, once IAR-80/81 and not yet announced collector aircraft are released they are likely to be added to these campaigns as AI units.











Steel Birds (Fw 190 A-5, Kuban):

The updated campaign has been released in November 2022 and became available on Steam - the current version is up-to-date and includes accurate tactical numbers.





In case you don’t own them yet, they’re always available for purchase at our website and on Steam.

PLANNED CAMPAIGNS
Soviet Fighter Campaign (Yak-7b series 36, Kuban)

It will be dedicated to the 43rd IAP (Fighter Air Regiment) of the 278th Fighter Air Division of Major General Savitsky's 3rd Fighter Air Corps and will unfold during the decisive phase of the spring battle of Kuban. The release is planned later this year.

Other possibilities

There are several options on the table: Bf 109 F-4 or La-5 on Stalingrad map, Bf 109 G-4 (Kuban), Fw 190 A-8 (Rhineland) and Mustang Mk.III (Р-51B) on Normandy map. One or more of them will be selected after the Kuban campaign.

FREE CAMPAIGNS
Rhineland map campaigns - Wind of Fury (Tempest Mk.V) and His Majesty's Griffons (Spitfire Mk.XIV):

all aircraft will have accurate tactical numbers;
all US vehicles will be replaced with British ones in the British held area (they didn’t exist in the game at the time of release of these campaigns).
Sea Dragons (IL-2 AM-38F M1943, Kuban):

it will be reworked to correspond to the modern IL-2 standards;
all aircraft will have accurate tactical numbers;
numerous AI-controlled aircraft will be added: U-2, A-20, P-39, Yak-7b, Yak-9 and C-47A (they didn’t exist in the game at the time of release).
Tank campaigns – Breakpoint and Last Chance:

all aircraft will have accurate tactical numbers (ground vehicles already got them);
recently released collector vehicles will be added as AI units: Churchills Mk.IV, StuG III Ausf.G SPGs and AAA vehicles.
Wings Over Caen (Typhoon Mk.Ib, Normandy):

all aircraft will have accurate tactical numbers on release. Battle of Normandy owners will get this campaign in the coming update (by the way, beta tester feedback is very favourable so far).

This month we started locking down the levels 1 by 1, playing them over and over, tweaking, polishing and fixing any bugs that came up.

Environment Art

Every month we produce dozens of new models and textures. This month though we finally built and optimized all of the exteriors for the game, so when you look out the window or run around the surface of Titan you'll have nice vistas to enjoy.



The players ship was also modeled and textured.



Audio

A few more music tracks were added and more sound effects to enhance the variety of audio in the game.

Level Design



A lighting, detailing, and VFX pass was done on the first 2 levels to improve the quality.
E1M1 and E1M2 are art complete so it's just gameplay specific tasks left.



E1M1

The proper starting area for E1M1 was implemented along with the player ship they use to arrive on Titan with.

E1M2



The Air Pressure puzzle had a bit of a refactor to stream line peoples understanding of what needed to be done to complete it.



Thanks for reading.

Sneak In: a sphere matcher game - Binogure

Howdy folks!

It's already March! Time flies too fast!
I made you a wonderful update that adds not only 30 new levels, but also new features!

2 new worlds, 30 new levels
Unique worlds are waiting for you. Thirty new levels to challenge you!
A couple of players told me that they want to have more complex levels. Hang on to your hats because world 6 contains almost exclusively levels that have two snakes!
In other words, in terms of challenge, you will be served!

But if you're like me, and you're not of age for the challenge anymore, do not forget to tune the difficulty via the options. That way, it's much more fun and you win every time!

More animations and bonuses
To further enhance the feeling of success when you finish a level, well, the liana that makes up the path that the marbles travel becomes flourishing again and many leaves will sprout from it. As for the snake, it gets stunned.

On the bonus side, when you make combos each time you shoot a marble, you obtain a scoring bonus. This is signaled by a delightful sound effect.

The follow-up
I have plans to add in-game achievements. So when you unlock an achievement, an animation plays in Sneak In. And other animations are going to be added to enhance your gaming experience.

For March, you had 30 new levels, I hope to keep up the pace and provide you with as many each month. If all goes well, this will bring us to 240 levels by the end of the summer!

That's it for today.
Thanks for reading, and go enjoy Sneak In
