Blockade Runner
Posted: Mon Sep 12, 2011 10:10 am
I thought I'd go ahead and just drop this in here after a quick forum search didn't bring up anything on it.Blockade Runner is an Indie game being devloped by ZanMgt, a team of six siblings who've turned their collective love of gaming and their wonder of space exploration into a game that may well be the first of its kind. Using a hand-crafted 'Poxel' engine, it combines the best of voxel gaming (Infiminer, MineCraft) with the tradtional polygon system, to create a game that's all about that one thing we as gamers love: Complete and Utter Customization.

What is Blockade Runner?Inspired by Infiniminer and Minecraft’s voxel engine, Blockade Runner is the beginning of a Multiplayer First Person Adventure Space Sim that will feature fully destructible, operational, crewable 'living' starships in a massive and procedurally generated galaxy.
Blockade Runner is in early developement, but is open to play, based on a two-week update scedual that introducing ever-increasing features and revisions to the formula. At the end of the yearly developement scedual, the game is set to be released as its own package (Release 1), with each subsequent release (Release 2, 3, ect...) being released as their own stand-alone games, like modern expansions. With the current developement of Release 1, the focus is upon the space ships, humanoid configuration, and the various systems needed to support life in space.Release 2 and the following will add in things like Planets, which you'll be free to land upon, explore, exploit, and even destroy. If this is something any of you guys will be interested in, I'll provide the links for your enjoyment. Feel free to check out the FAQ or the Showcase for an example of our 'early' ship designs.[url]http://www.zanmgt.com/Projects/BlockadeRunner.aspx[/url] - Main Website[url]http://www.zanmgt.com/forums.aspx[/url] - ForumNOTE: The Week 22 release should be out sometime today (Monday, 9/12/11), and the Lite (free) version of the game will be updated to the current full release to keep everyone on track with the new features. Also, the ZanMgt guys are looking into setting up a more modern forum, as the current one is a bit lacking in features and editing abilities.The forums have been officially changed. They're still in the process of being set up, but the old one will be discontinued shortly. Anyone who has joined the forum will have to re-register, and if you've taken part in any existing threads, they will not be carried over. There isn't any way to port the existing threads to the new forum base, so sorry guys. Here's the link to the NEW forum: [url]http://forums.blockaderunnergame.com/index.php[/url]
