Complete overhaul (Again)

Highblast is now running on the Godot game engine, it is a lighter engine so the game should run smoother. Highblast has been an arc of game development learning for us, nothing has been complete until now.

If things are not super polished, don't worry. More updates will be coming out as soon as possible. We wanted to have the game out by the new year so enjoy!

Things to take note of:

  • The current game-play consists of an introduction and tutorial.

  • No achievements yet so don't go hunting. They are top priority and will begin to reappear soon.

  • We now have a voice actor voicing the lines for Cakebot, your guide for the tutorials.

  • The concept of controlling robots remotely is still the same.

  • The space station will become your "home base" of sorts as new updates progress the content of the game.

  • Please keep in mind: More coming soon! But first we have to polish this version.

Controls for anyone confused:

WASD = basic movement. Mouse = 360 degree rotation. QE = roll the player (good for 0 gravity) Esc = exit robot view

Story

The story has not changed much for a while but now we finally get to start telling it:

You are an employee of the Interplanetary Protection Organisation. This agency protects planets from being used for malicious purposes such as excessive weapon construction. It's your first day as a robot shuttle officer, your job is to take robots down to the surface and take over enemy bases. (This part will come in the next major update.)

Play through the intro and tell us what you think.

Thank you so much for playing our fun little game. Your continued existence is our number 1 priority! - QuazarCG & ilikefrogs101
