Brand new features, major improvements to in-game editor, lots of new gameplay stuff are coming together with the new public demo (as well as test and public build) of Miner Wars 2081. After months of hard work on VRAGE engine core, the team has moved onto development of gameplay features and the first bunch of them is available with this release. The editor has undergone major changes and improvements – are you ready to create your own space sectors, space stations and space ships?
So what is there waiting for you to try?
- Massive improvements to editor (build your stations from prefab modules; save up to 27 sectors; hundreds of ready-made prefabs; snap points for easier manipulation with objects; improved voxel hand; selection groups and more)
- Importing user-made 3D models
- Fully destructible prefabs – blow them out!
- Survival gameplay – keep an eye on fuel and electricity levels
- Inventory screen
- Foundation factory – construct prefabs and place them in in-game builder
- Radar detectors, radar jammer – no-one will hear you cry
