Besiege News

Hello Everyone!

Today we’ve got another update for you, our first since Besiege left early access!
This update, Version 1.01, adds 2 new blocks for the newly established Automation category and some fixes for minor bugs that have been reported since the V1.0 release.

The team’s been super excited to see everyone enjoying the V1.0 launch and they’ve been working round-the-clock to get this next update done as quickly as possible!

If you didn’t see our preview development post, here’s a quick rundown of what the new blocks do:

The Anglometer
This block detects angles on a single axis, emulating a key press when an angle is met or exceeded. The block should allow you to create gyroscopes and stabilization systems for your machines.





The Speedometer
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.





We’re already seeing some awesome machines made with the Automation blocks added in V1.0 and we’re super excited to see what you guys create with these 2 new ones!

Follow us on Twitter to stay up to date with what we’re working on, and see some of the awesome creations the community is coming up with!

Thank you to everyone for all the support and positive feedback following Besiege’s release and we hope you enjoy this update!

Cheers,
Von

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
