Real-Time Strategy Gamemode in development! Most Recent Release: 5/18

[Bester Bageler]

My current working name is Uberdium, but I would love any suggestions that don't sound like something out a James Cameron movie.

The aliens invaded the servers of blockland looking for the rare material of blocko.

I just feel blockite is too underwhelming for being the default super resource. I think it might be ok for the name of the metal ore used for basic construction though.

Oh and here's a ship.


I also plan on doing two additional views quickly to get a better view of the swishyness of the ships shape and the bottom's obligatory tractor beam. But I am out of snacks and I must leave my dark cave of productivity in search of nourishment. I am going to try to get the most out of this day off I can.  




EDIT: Heres a quick additional sketch I busted out of the alien speeder. This one is mostly used for reconnaissance or such things.



And the drop ship plane for the humans
No time to finish I am going out of town

[Ladios]

So I am going out of town and unfortunately will not have the playable test version released for Christmas. As I am moving in January I don't know if I will get much done so to be safe I plan on releasing a first playable by the end of next January.

While I am waiting I was wondering if there were anyone who would be interested in trying to model a vehicle or other thing as I flush out the proplist.

[Lurker]

I hope this gets done. I always wanted to see a RTS in Blockland.

Use the name of Sturdium.

Here's some ore name ideas-
Dekacilium {Dekas - ilium}
Oremite {Oral - mite}
Kraflate {Craf - late}
Dalekium {Dalek - ium}
Forflicium {Forf - licium }
Titamorium {Tita - morium}
Irrelivaniat {Irrel - ivan - iat}
Miklam {Mike - lam}
Plasmos {Plas - mose}

[Gunnyz]

I wouldn't mind modeling for you but Im currently busy at the moment with school crap so I probably couldn't help if you wanted it in a month or so

[Uxie²]

If necessary, I could model you something to hopefully get this motivated and started up as an attempt to get more modelers to join in.

[Ladios]

New names in poll. I'll use blockite for the basic metal resource but I still need something valuable sounding for the advanced units and upgrades.

Right now there will only be one map for testing purposes, though I hope to have a series of maps for a more narratological method of playing. In the mean time I specifically need an alien model, which I've shown a few pictures of how I'll hope they look, if anyone is interested let me know. Right now I will just use blockheads as placeholders.

Also some modeling for equipment for blockheads would be nice too. Helmets body armor etc. That's not as necessary so I'll do the sketches for those later

So the aliens didn't just show up here. They came looking for a rare material that they then must use to build their technology. With their arrival we humans also have learned to harness this ore for our own purposes.

The problem is I can't figure out what to name it.

How about Elerium?

[jonnyman5656]

This is idea that is rare to see, but if done right it can be golden. I hope you keep working on it. When i comes out I will play it a lot.

[Ladios]

In a way of getting warmed up since I have been useless and lazy for a while now just doing boring adult things, I am also going to be rereleasing laser weapons! Yes I know I had said I am never doing those again cause the last set came out so bad, but you cannot have aliens without lasers! As such I hope to within the next few days release some new weapons and stuff but as I am moving right now it may be less certain I will have something done soon. Same goes for the overall mod, but slow progress is better than no progress. relatively.



An unrelated to this post but still related to this topic note:
I need some good names for aliens. If possible using like contractions between normal people names and silly alieny gooey sounding names like Mersquishio, Blobbert, Slimeuel anything else cool you guys could think of. This is for like random generated npc names. (they have tentacles too so dont stay away from such related puns either :D  )

[Ladios]

Alright so it was rather unreasonable of me to assume I could finish this mod while moving but as I actually have a place to stay now I will be able to start working on this once my electricity is hooked up. Unfortunately my house has no access to internet and I will not be able to host public test servers like I was hoping.

I still will be releasing updates as I progress by uploading the stuff to my phone and driving into town to transmit the data to ya'll. I will probably need volunteers for the public testing since if there is one thing I learned from my videogame school: its that you play test early and often to ensure a good game.

Sounds like starcraft
