- Block'Em Devlog #3 - Feedback received! - 27 January 2022
Hello! It's time for a new devlog. For the playtest in December our solo-dev implemented a nifty feedback tool. You've probably seen something similar before if you've tried out games that are in Early Access, but this was the first time we utilized such a system. And you guys definitely used it! We got a lot of feedback covering all aspects of the game. I won't cover any straight up bug reports (couldn't play online, controller not recognized) here, as these required some minor fixes. Feedback Top 3! 1. Keybinds 2. Invisible Finishing Goal Block? 3. More game modes? Keybinds The first and most common feedback by far was the default keyboard keybinds. To any gamer who plays mainly with a keyboard and mouse, the default controls seem very unintuitive. WASD is movement, but spacebar isn't the jump key? And you're absolutely right. The keyboard keybinds are indeed horrible. The cause of th…

- Block'Em Devlog #2 - Block'Em Art History! - 19 November 2021
Hey you! Welcome to the Art History Devlog! Any game goes through phases, from early exploration to final. Even a small indie game like Block’em will go through all of these. In this devlog we’ll quickly showcase the different directions the art style has taken, what changed and what remained. SCHOOL DAYS Block’em started as a school project, and the simple art style helped the quick production of graphical assets. Cubes are easier to make than people, after all. Just ask any Blender expert. Block’em went on to win against its competing school projects, which lead to joining the Aurora Punks collective and getting the means to develop the game properly. EARLY DAYS IN AURORA PUNKS The game immediately went through some changes in scope, design and art style. The art style was a lot more exploratory, testing multiple styles. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER Eventually, the art style moved towards a m…
- Block'Em Devlog #1 - Our first devlog! - 15 October 2021
Hey there, everyone! I'm Rasmus, one of the producers at Aurora Punks and the producer currently responsible for Block'em!. This is our first devlog for Block'em!, and I'll touch on the state of the game in this one. Coming devlogs will explore the mechanics, art, code and history of Block'em! Block'em was slated for joining the Steam Next Fest this past weekend, providing the public with a playable Demo. However, as software projects with only one programmer usually go, the bugs mounted up and we had to make a final decision to not release a demo in its current state. Most things in the game are implemented by now. There is online and local multiplayer, a level editor, fully customizable controls, a tutorial that dynamically adapts to your control scheme (keyboard for keyboard users, button prompts for gamepad users, pretty nifty in my opinion), localized it to over 10 languages and mo…
