Besiege News

Hello Everyone!

Hope you’re all enjoying the V1.0 update! The team & I have been eagly watching people’s reactions and feedback on the new content, it's great to see so many people having fun with Besiege!

We’ve been overwhelmed by the positive reception you guys have given to the new Automation/Logic blocks, it’s awesome to see all the innovative creations people are coming up with!

With that in mind we’ve begun thinking about what other Automation/Logic blocks we could add to Besiege and we’ve got some rough plans for a couple that we’d like to share with you here! (Keep in mind these are work-in-progress & subject to change)

The Speedometer Concept
The name’s pretty self explanatory for this one. The Speedometer is a new logic block that will emulate a key press when your machine reaches or drops below a certain speed. You will of course be able to adjust the speed in the blocks settings yourself!



The Angle Detector Concept
This block detects angles on a single axis, emulating a key press when an angle is met or exceeded. This block should allow you to create gyroscopes and stabilization systems for your machines! The angle the block detects you’ll be able to edit in the settings.



We’re hoping to get these blocks worked up and implemented into the game very soon, so you can expect another small update in the next couple of weeks!

Thanks again to everyone for the good wishes and congratulations following the V1.0 launch, we really appreciate it guys!

Cheers,
Von

Hello Everyone!

Today we’ve got another update for you, V0.86-10565. In this update we’ve added a new guides system which will help less experienced players get to grips with the fundamentals of creating exciting machines and generally playing the game!



These new guides include several methods of steering design for ground vehicles and a tutorial for creating a working plane! We’ve also created diagramed guides on things like camera controls to make getting to grips with the game easier.



We hope you find this update useful, work also continues toward the final release version of Besiege, though at this time we can’t offer an ETA.

Cheers,
Von

Changelog V0.86-10565:

Additions
- Added GuideBook which has more thorough information on how the game works and how you build simple machines
- Added Music Toggle to the Options Menu (To match the in level drop down)
- Added a OSX translocated game launch warning

Chages:
- Made it easier to use selection or modify tools on blocks behind blocks like propellers.
- Made holding shift move the camera faster in all levels not just in Multiverse.

Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where if running steam version and saving or loading while steam wasn't running the game would throw an error.
- Tweaked Flying block collider slighty.
- Repaired Advanded Building Eraser Tool (appears when skins aren't enabled) undo and redo issues.
- Fixed a problem with the paint bucket tool when you use a drag box to paint many blocks with skins.

Hello Everyone!

We hope you’re all having a good week! Today we’ve got another small update for you V0.85-10458!

Version 0.86 adds cloud saving support to Steam (Another popular requested feature) so you’ll never again lose your war machines or level progress if you change computer or take a break from Besiege. Bundled with the cloud saving we’ve also got a whole bunch more bug fixes for you.

Once again we’d like to remind everyone that the new update will disable mods to prevent compatibility errors and if you come across any bugs while playing, we’d greatly appreciate it if you could take the time to report them on our forums or the Steam forums.

We hope you find this update helpful!
