- Ion Fury: Aftershock launches today with bike combat, bouncier bullets and remixed enemies - 2 October 2023
Ion Fury: Aftershock, an expansion pack for Voidpoint's retro FPS featuring new weapons, enemies and game modes, launches today 2nd October 2023, and there's a trailer below awaiting your fervent appreciation. Well, assuming you're not Matt Cox - in our review of the main game , he deemed it an experience in which "old-school decisions too often trump good ones" and "a blast from a past I never lived through", concluding that "Ion's tongue might be in its cheek, but I've got little interest in what it's saying." Ouch. Still, Steam user verdicts are markedly more enthusiastic, and what kind of jaded soul would turn his nose up at a Cluster Shot launcher with bouncing bullets? Bouncing bullets, Matt. Read more

- Ion Fury Aftershock - Photo Mode - 11 September 2023
Boost your screenshot game with Photo Mode! I’m Katie, community hype machine for Voidpoint and Ion Fury, and I’m here to tell you a little bit about my favorite new feature in Ion Fury: Aftershock — Photo Mode! Photo Mode began as a wish. I adore the recent shift in games to facilitate taking screenshots—it’s gone beyond the shortcut keybind to dump a HUD-covered JPEG into a subfolder. Now we’ve got in-game camera tools that make taking dramatic shots incredibly easy. Players and creators have the opportunity to bring their creativity to a lot of games and communities using virtual photography. Ion Fury is a beautiful game, and I mentioned to the team how it would be helpful for generating screens and media to have an in-game photo mode. I wanted to capture how great it looks, but I was frustrated by having to work around the console. Having easy, accessible photo capture tools in a ga…

- Exploring the Game Design for Ion Fury - Part 2 - 20 June 2023
Hey everyone, it’s Jonathan “Mblackwell” again and I am back with Part 2 of our Game Design dev diary. This time we are going to talk about Ion Fury’s design rules, and as a special treat, we’ll also be talking about the expansion Aftershock, including how our goals changed from the first campaign, and some of the new things you’ll get to experience. If you haven't ready Part 1, you can do so here. Closing the Loop In Part 1 I talked about how different gameplay elements were made with rules for consistency, but no one wants to experience it without engaging environments that feel cohesive, learnable, and fun to explore. Designers also need some freedom in order to express their creativity. To make both ideas possible, levels had a framework for style, structure, scale and more. Color and Lighting Besides the overall theming, each area of a zone had to decide on a general color palette.…

- Exploring the Game Design for Ion Fury - Part 1 - 10 February 2023
Hey everyone! Jonathan “Mblackwell” Strander here with Part One of a two part article on the core game design principles behind Ion Fury. For Fury I acted as the primary programmer, the “Lead Gameplay Engineer”, and the Designer who compiled everyone’s ideas into something cohesive. I really wanted to share with everyone some of the behind-the-scenes decisions we made along the way. We had to come up with a lot of rules and guidelines to make the game we wanted, and I hope you all have fun learning about it! For now we’re going to deal mostly with the most obvious thing: How levels were designed for the game’s layered “Combat Loop”. First Ideas Bombshell’s world consisted of alien landscapes, and we had been tasked with providing something much more “real world” and grounded. In 2016 3D Realms gave the team permission to reconceptualize the game world and character for the Ion Fury vers…
- Arrange Mode - 30 December 2022
Hello gamers, it’s Max ‘oasiz’ Ylitalo on the keys once again and last I wrote about “3D in Build Engine and Ion Fury” some years back. This time I’ll be writing a few more entries focusing on level design and some other bits related to it, starting with Arrange mode. While I started off as a mapper, I quickly found myself as the “lead level designer” on the project around 2016, doing a bit of everything on the side. As a mapper, I’m the effects guy. Coming from Duke3D mapping I’ve always had the interest on trying to push maps to do cool things and create unique game play scenarios. It’s not that different with Fury where I always try to think on how the mechanics can be pushed a little further with the existing tools available. Experimentation with these resulted in things like “Bombardier challenge” and “Queen of the hill”. This time I wanted to go back to something I already planned…
