[Besiege] Ye Olde Physics Murder Machine Creator 2015 Pro

Suriko

Do you like murdering thousands of little mans?
Do like makin waaagh like all good n' proper orks do?
Do you like engineering and tinkering with physics?

Then buy Besiege from Steam for $6.99 USD you dolt.

Besiege is still under development (yes, yet another indie Early Access game), but right now is amazingly polished and a fun toy even as it is. Like many 'creator' style games, you're given a 3D environment, some blocks (from basic wooden beams, to flamethrowers, to hinges and springs, to wings, etc), and left to go play with them. The singleplayer mode gives some goals, usually in the form of a little puzzle each level often revolving around killing some little dudes, but the sandbox is available for those that just want to make cool machines.

And oh, what cool machines can be made.

Now go forth and murder mans. And remember, losing is fun!

I thought I came up with some cool stuff in besiege but

dear god

Drake

I just bought this tonight. I am completely lost. I built a thing with saws and spikes and blades and some more saws and a lot more spikes just in case. It kinda works!

I built a giant platform that launches dozens of bombs into the air and carpet bombs the area

it beats about 50% of the levels

but those guys built airships and junk

this game needs a map editor

This got all of my attention when the Giant Bomb quick look went up and someone posted this in the comments:

Haven't gotten around to it yet, though.

Soon.

Soon.

I bought it last night after seeing several threads on /v/ full of awesome .webm videos.

Craploads of fun, but a huge timesink. I looked at the clock and it was 8. The next time I looked it was after midnight and I still hadn't done any of the chores I needed to do.

BloodySloth

My crowning achievement thus far has been a pretty neat catapult that has two different methods of launching bombs.

I am legitimately embarrassed about how proud of myself I was after seeing these youtube videos. I feel like I just made a paper airplane and the guy next to me is finishing up his A-10 Warthog.

Foomy

My favorite creation so far is so simple and so very dumb. You take a decoupler and attach a single block to that, then 2 circular saws on either side of that block, then optionally a flamethrower on the front.

build a frame that can hold about 50 of these and then let them loose.

Handkor

I just built a frame with tall posts on hinges and holders at the top with flaming balls. I have a center structure of pistons that knocks the posts down. I even added extra branches on the posts with more holders. This was for zone 5 where you need to kill 90% of everybody. I just rolled it forward a bit and activated the pistons. Flaming balls rolling to the sides and forward. The armies all roasted to a crisp.

This game is so fun, but I'm nowhere near some of these insane builds appearing online.

I think I'm done playing Besiege forever because I have achieved the pinnacle of the game.

I just created a siege android with a prehensile penis that punched himself in the face with it until his head exploded.

I think i need a button that isn't awesome or agree for this post.

Okay I have unleashed two more of my creations upon the world.

This one is specifically a reference to something and I hope someone gets it. No not the title which is also a reference, I mean the robot itself.

This idea just popped into my mind and I had to make it reality. I'm so very sorry.

Update on the last GIF with an important addition due to popular demand.

This game is amazing. I was worried that it would be too complex, or that I wouldn't be creative enough, but it's really easy to sit down and make stuff that works. The campaign is pretty simple and gives you a lot of room to be creative. Here are two of my creations in the sandbox mode:

Trying to get more power out of a slingshot
a.pomf.se/scfosy.webm

Stable flight + turning (much harder than it looks)
a.pomf.se/fdfrbj.webm

and something from /v/ that will make you feel like your machines are from the stone age
a.pomf.se/paiflv.webm

I bought it last night too. It is fun but I'm not terribly good at it yet. My son is going to play around with it later so I'm sure giant dinks will be made in no time.

I did another thing, movie reference.

Molybdenum

Have they patched the bombs to not instantly explode on the slightest contact, or am I missing something about how to handle them?

Ratsult2

Try placing a single block, then attach the bomb, delete the block and replace it with a grabber. It will keep the bomb steady as you move it around. The downside is that you will have to manually release it if you are using it in a catapult.

Molybdenum

I HAD NEVER EVEN THOUGHT TO USE A GRABBER GODDAMIT

Erin The Red

I can't get catapults or springs to work for me just yet. Much to learn

Molybdenum

well, campaign one is finished. Now we wait for the promised additional content and please god replays.

Remember to use the wrench. You can adjust the tension of the springs, amongst many other things. Seems a lot of people miss the wrench.

Update hit with a few new parts, including gears and metal half pipes. The half-pipes make for great bomb chutes.

Why have I only just found out about this game?

That looks like the short circuit robot...but I doubt that's it.

Gears? oh dear.

There's a new projectile too, a regular old boulder.

BloodySloth

Honestly, there doesn't seem to be much you can do with the gears that you can't do more simply with other motorized blocks, at the moment. I think of them as a sign of things to come.

Ratsult2

I don't know, people are already creating logic gates with them.

Well my day went from really happy to pissed off in seconds.

This morning somebody informed me that a Besiege creation of mine had been featured on Kotaku. I got excited and went to look at the article, and then saw who it was sourced to and went, "Wait a minute... that's not my name."

Apparently some butthole re-uploaded my work on their Steam account gallery after I uploaded it to my imgur account and they are being credited for it.

Well I left a comment on the article asking for proper citation, and Steam says to file a DMCA claim against the user. I'm trying to be diplomatic and left a warning on the person's account asking that they remove it.
