Hovertank Feature & New Target Goal

Update #8 · Apr 13, 2012 · 2 comments

Hovertank Feature - The Razor

We have been listening to our backers so don't worry--more content is on its way!

First off though, in this feature John Grisnik goes into detail on one of the hovertanks in the game--the razor. Take a look for yourself and get to understand more about the planning process and the work involved with our designs. If you're impatient and just want to skip to the new Razor video, skip to 6 minutes in. Enjoy! 


New Target Goal - $30,000

So We achieved our funding goal, but don't we want this to be the next best damn video game? We currently have a studio that specializes in graphics that wants to help polish this game off to AAA standards. If we can get to $30,000 we could afford to get all of our models & landscapes re-textured and the graphics the way we want them to look like!

Thanks again to everyone for the support, lets keep this going!

      Thanks Kyle! Thats just one of many vehicles we have for Bionite:Origins. Yes, I slowed the animations down for the demonstration, so you guys can see the mechanism at work. In the game they spin very fast and are difficult to see the details. Also, were working on the feature of the Fatty next, keep an eye out for it! -LtF

      Looking great so far guys. Can't wait to play the beta :D. One question, will the outer and inner turbine rings for the engine spin faster in the release? I assume you just slowed them down or haven't sped them up for the demo video?
