- 11th Dream Goes Free To Play in August - 12 July 2025
Hi! Development of 11th Dream began eight years ago. Two years later, we published the game in Early Access, featuring single-player skirmishes and story driven campaign. Later, 11th Dream received various map updates, multiplayer mode and modding support. Four years ago, we've released version 1.0 and left early access. We knew that it was impossible to reach perfection, there would always be something we could possibly improve, and that we had to call our work finished one day. Today, we would like to announce, that four years after 1.0 and eight years after first pixels have been painted and first lines of code have been written, 11th Dream becomes free to play on August 14th.See you in the arena!Best, Filip, Michal, Vojta 11thdreamgame.bluepulsar.cz Follow us on instagram and ask us anything on our discord server. https://11thdreamgame.bluepulsar.cz

- 11th Dream Release - 17 September 2021
Hi! With today's game update, 11th Dream transitions to full release! We've added the last promised feature - support of Steam Workshop, place to share and download custom maps. Let us share our journey from the early development up to this point. Development First Lines of Code, Triangles and Pixels In summer 2017 we started experimenting with retro shooter game. By that time, pixelart retro was very popular (and in our opinion still is up to this day) but we wanted to create a game which resembles 90s 3D graphics limited by poor performance and also a one win. For better or worse, we chose to build our own technology. 11th Dream ows it for its unique look and overall the creative process was quite refreshing. On the other hand, we spent lot of time developing core engine features which we take for granted in well-established engines. Seemingly simple import process and management of m…

- Map Editor Out Now - 12 March 2021
We have just released Map Editor Update! We are opening the map editor for everyone, so you can create your own levels and play them with your friends in multiplayer mode. We realized that creating first map is not straight-forward process, so we implemented a map generator. This article uncovers how the generator was implemented. You can find the full changelog at the end of the article. Result of the new map generator without any further edits. Terrain Representation Let’s uncover first how the terrain is represented, so we can explain the generator later. Terrain is grid of small quad polygons, shaped and shaded by several bitmaps – distance between adjacent pixels correspond to one meter in the game. In addition to bitmaps, terrain makes use of several JSON config files linking other resources (like textures). Height map shapes the terrain. Lighter the pixels, higher the location. T…

Hi! We've just released Vertical-Slide Update! Being able to slide up when pushing against the obstacles, that is something we introduced by mistake. But it felt so good!

- Domain Update - 6 April 2020
Hey, The long wait was worth it! We have just released one of our biggest updates so far. Reworking the game to prep for upcoming multiplayer build. Firstly you may notice new level mechanics - bots are dropping purple crystals on death which level up your character during the match or in campaign. We have been playtesting all weapons extensively in multiplayer for the last couple of weeks and we decided to rework them as a whole, we hope the current shooting experience is far more enjoyable and balanced. Multiplayer also calls for new map layouts and we are happy to supply them. Try out new Crossroads, Tube and Needles which brings very different experiences from the classic maps. We want to add a few more in upcoming weeks and we are open for suggestions. And yes we are talking about this MULTIPLAYER all the time and yes it’s coming!

- Motion 2.0 - 20 December 2019
Hi, We have just released one of the most important updates from the start of Early Access. Changelog is immense, but tl:dr we spiced up motion! The secret ingredient to any good old shooter out there. Try out new rocket-jumps and blast your way anywhere, or fly through maps with our brand new bunny-hopping motion! The feeling is really different and all controls work way better now. But even if you liked our old motion system you can still move around the old way and retain control. Sounds! The next big novelty is adding new flavor to the world, you can listen to approaching drones or get feedback from your steps. The jump sound is really important for planning your bunny-hopping around the map. There are also some new tweaks to animations and minor changes across the skirmish and campaign maps. The new motion system also solved a number of issues we were encountering in multiplayer de…
- Artificial Intelligence in 11th Dream - 1 December 2019
When doing AI in shooter games, follow a simple rule: Don't make it too good. Nobody wants to play against an aimbot with 100% map knowledge. On the other hand, bots must be still challenging and the behavior must be interesting. Here is how we approached it. The artificial intelligence has several levels. Topmost level makes decisions based on the stats and signals from the system below, for example: Gear up, find enemy, eliminate enemy. Next layer breaks the strategy down to simpler tasks. It does all the path finding and target movement prediction. Finally, the instructions are given to the navigation layer and targetting layer, which simulate pressing keys like human player would do. Let's talk about the movement first. Our bots follow hidden waypoints, which help them to reach their target and also contain information about bonuses. We place these waypoints manually, so we have fin…

Climb the ladders bots! ːsteamhappyː Along with the daily updates, we are again releasing number of minor tweaks for smoother gameplay.
