Logo is still a draft


Community platform
2GD and his team use the online platform "Trello" now for their project communication. This platform allows us to keep up-to-date with the latest developments and gives registered users the ability to vote for certain in-game features, textures, weapons, level assets and so on.

Map Editor
A new block concept was presented, that aims at simplifying the map creation process. There will be module blocks measuring 300x300x300 units on a 100x100x100 units grid. 2GD drew the following images to clarify this concept:

There will be certain modules, such as full-size blocks, floor tiles, walls, pre-built stairs etc. These modules can be dropped on the map and moved them around on the map on the 100x100 grid. Outside the grid, props (e.g. wall decoration) can be positioned.


Voice Acting
2GD contacted the voice acting group VAPSquad and voice actor Elijah Lucian respectively. They will do the voice over for the global announcer as well as for the individual robots.
