Hey guys. You probably noticed that I haven't been posting any updates for a while, and It's because I've lost interest in the project. I'm really sorry to disappoint you all, but I feel like the project is just dragging me down to boredom whenever I think about it. I hope you can understand. Bye.

Yeah I'm trolling my own thread. This is what Obama did to me.

The download isn't working. I don't know if I missed it, but 404 error keeps popping up...
(If you closed it for reasons I don't need to know, sorry for the post. I was just wondering)

It's been a while,so I thought I'd update you with the current state of the project.
I've been working on the addition of components to the game, and since I wanted it to be fully moddable I've run into some issues. First I began creating a component editor, however I figured it'd be too much work so I postponed that feature. The second issue is the model importer. While Unity's models are automatically compressed during compilation of the game, external models are not. This means I've had to resort to a third-party .obj importer script which has a few missing features here and there. For example; models are imported without an UV layout, meaning that the models have only one color. I'm trying to find a workaround but despite the graphical difficulties, the game will continue.

great to hear that this is still in the making. keep it up!

Glad to see work is still moving with this. Good luck with everything.

This game looks to have SO MUCH potential.

Also do you accept new members to your team?

I suck at scripting ( i script like a 70 years old blind man), but i will ask my friend is he interested, he is beginninger in 3D modeling, but good in scripting(aperantly he has scripted for ca 6-9 years.

Actually I could use some assistance. Progress has been halting for a while since i'm improving my 3D modelling skills

If you can help me with making sturdy physics joints or find me a way to import models at runtime that'd be great.

In what file format you currently import assets/models to game? I am not sure about how much i can help but i will try my best(its been ages since i used unity, or devloped indie games. (more than 1.5 years)

I've tried with .obj models. But really, any file that works would be great. I'm thinking about creating a custom format so I can read it easier, but that'd take ages. I'm already using custom file formats for robot save files.

Aprils fools. Heheh. I'm so funny. Project continues as usual. :)

Yeah, okay.

Wow, love the menu. It's looking good so far. Maybe at some point a Kickstarter could be in order to try and fund it.

Any word on this?

Been busy studying for finals, and now that I finally got some spare time I decided to pick it up again.
I ran into some problems with loading external models, so instead, as a temporary solution I'll be including a component mod tool in the game for everyone, including myself to use.
Here's an early screenshot of it.

PS: Finals included something with an Arduino and some motors. My product was quite funny imo. Here's footage if interested.

Nice idea! Is it only going to be for battery packs, or maybe you could have multiple motors with one axle to be like a gearbox? Also will you be able to load your own models?

Natster-104 · « **Reply #197 on:** May 23, 2014, 04:34:27 PM »

Really good idea! I guess it'll be easier to add custom components to this then

It's going to be the spine in every available component. Everything from motors to flamethrowers to flamethrowing motors will be created in this. However, the main issue is model import. Since Unity does not natively support importing models at runtime, I've tried messing around with a third-party importer which only works 50% of the time, and only when there is no UV layout on the model, which makes it really hard to use. I decided just to scrap that idea. However, I am going to spend a lot of time creating a huge bunch of bits and pieces so that you guys have something to work with.

Indeed it will. The components you make will be stored in simple text files and can be used on your own server.

Just a question, will you be trying to make a piston powered flipper?
