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 procedurally generated galaxy

The Game

Thanks to the voxel system that allows for a massively destructible environment, and the low-memory Liquid Cubed liquid/solid/gas algorithm we've researched and developed (ModDB page), our intention is to provide a game where "everything matters".

Constantly Evolving

Latest Public Build: Week 71c
Private Internal Build: Week 102a
Blockade Runner is internally in its 102nd week of alpha development (huge multiplayer revamp on the way!), with the editor available to download for free at Blockaderunnergame.com. The editor allows you to build ships using tools such as symmetry, angles, and more!

2 comments by [ZanMgt]Aaron on Mar 25th, 2013

Yesterday we released the video (two years to day the we started BR no less!) on how the upcoming Powerlines system will work!

This is one of the many systems (see Angular Destruction) we get to focus this year now with the proper multiplayer foundation going into place and the ship systems having our undivided attention.

NOTE that before any of the new ship systems are integrated, we'll be releasing our upcoming Sandbox update that rebuilds BR's foundation from the ground-up for multiplayer.

If you've got any questions on power lines that were not answered by the video, fire away in the forums and we'll answer what we can!

are you still able to fire weapons and pilot ships? or is that being reprogrammed into the game?

It's in the progress of being re-programmed for multiplayer. We have a new system for both weapons and thrusters that will be going into place that makes it A) much more responsive and fun to fly and B) easier to shoot things.

BTTF is an inspiration, but there's a bit of Blade Runner in there as well. We wanted to present "80's", "Sci-fi", and "Fun" all in one shot!

nVidia GTX 560 Ti. I'll send the dxdiag too, if you want. This (when I had it working) and ScrumbleShip are the two best games in existance at the moment.

Thank you! A blank log.txt might suggest prerequisites were not all installed, I've PM'ed you instructions to check!
