Block Shot Fortress - A Bloxel/FPS/MOBA Game
« on: August 09, 2013, 11:24:46 am »
So I've been working on this game with epic7 (though he's been on vacation, so he hasn't done much yet) called Block Shot Fortress.

Here is the official announcement/first dev update video:



As you see, not much yet. Multiplayer is our next priority, then the FPS, then the TF2 MOBA elements, then making better graphics. Let us know what you think!

Current Team:

Person who got the team together: Me
Coders: Epic7, Me
Graphic design/models: An IRL friend of mine named Mike
Website making: Sorunome (I think)
Website design: A few IRL friends of mine (maybe, still tentative)
Concept art: An IRL friend of mine (if he is not going to be too busy with college)

Ooh, an other jMonkeyEngine coder.

The combination of voxels and fps seems quite interesting. I can't wait to see how the gameplay turns out.

I noticed that the video is quite laggy. jMonkeyEngine has a video recorder appstate. Maybe you'll get better results if you use that.

BTW: did you code your own voxel engine or did you use a plugin?
My projects
 - The Lost Survivors (Unreal Engine) ACTIVE [GameCommandoSquad main project]
 - Oxo, with single-calc multiplayer and AI (axe) RELEASED (screenshot) (topic)
 - An android version of oxo (java)  ACTIVE
 - A 3D collision detection library (axe) RELEASED! (topic)(screenshot)(more recent screenshot)(screenshot of it being used in a tilemapper)
Spoiler For inactive:
- A first person shooter with a polygon-based 3d engine. (z80, will probably be recoded in axe using GLib) ON HOLD (screenshot)
 - A java MORPG. (pc) DEEP COMA(read more)(screenshot)
 - a minecraft game in axe DEAD (source code available)
 - a 3D racing game (axe) ON HOLD (outdated screenshot of asm version)

I'll check into the video recording appstate

I used the "cubes" plugin: http://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/wiki/doku.php/jme3:contributions:cubes

The current play style will have two phases: build phase and play phase. The build phase allows placing non-destroy-able blocks and placing and removing destroy-able blocks to build a base. The play phase allows placing and removing destroy-able blocks.

Update: I made the mistake of saying TF2-like. It will be more like an FPS MOBA.

Expect progress soon, because school's started for me, and will start soon for epic7!

No, It's like a MOBA (DOTA, LoL, etc.) with FPS and minecraft elements.

The first step in the engine is bloxel (MC), then FPS, then MOBA.

Ah ok I see. So kinda an RPG/strategy/FPS hybrid?

Yes, that's true. I believe that a game with a similar mechanic (minus the bloxel) is Monday Night Combat.

The bloxel will add a strategy element as well as multiple planes of gameplay (tunneling, building above, etc.).

So this is basically just my project at this point D:

That said, I have open-sourced it, so if you wish to contribute, contribute!
