M.A.S.S. Builder: Recent News

I've been distracted as all get out so here's a three parter. Having said that, I think once M.A.S.S. Builder releases either 0.11.0 or 0.12.0 I'm going to stop writing about the news itself unless it's particularly important. I want to make another shift since half...

Begin (2024)

2023 ended weirdly abruptly for me, but I got the shot in the arm I needed in order to hit the ground running in 2024. This year's going to be absolutely crazy, but for me personally, I feel my worst years are finally behind me. I'm ready to stop drowning in a sea of...

M.A.S.S. Builder: Destructible Props Test

by | Oct 8, 2022 | Blog, MASS Builder

What’s a mecha game without some destructible props here and there?

(A demo, that’s what)

Since it’s just a test, there’s no guarantee this will be implemented, yet. VD’s trying to make sure they can do this without decreasing the game’s performance first, which is definitely a good idea. A game that’s this fast paced can’t afford to have its FPS drop during combat.

It’s nice that the explosions have physical impact, too. I wouldn’t go out of my way to lead the melee quarks into punching these things and hurting themselves, but it’s a nice, immersive option to have.

Also I have to say, I really like these vehicle designs. They’re ‘vaguely’ futuristic without looking overdesigned or impractical. They look just a tad minimalist in their design too, which I think is a good fit for a setting where mankind is being forced to operate behind enormous walled shelters in order to survive the quarks.
