Besiege - fun little alpha

Just thought I'd point this out to anyone interested, you have different scenarios and have to build a machine/device to complete the task.
Has a nice cartoon/medieval style and looks to have a lot of potential as an alternative to running around in first person shooting people!

It's in a very early alpha, but it's a good bit of fun and chaos. Runs on pretty low spec hardware too while looking nice.

Looks interesting, I'll wait until it's out I don't normally do early access.

Looks great. Can't find it on UK steam though.

Reminds me of Autocraft which is really good as well.

I think the distribution is being done via Humble Bundle, or at least that's where the download link takes me in the email I got.


I'm not one for early access these days either tbh, but it's well polished for a 0.01 alpha and just under a fiver can't really moan.

Lost my day off on Friday playing this.

Completed the level using just 2 machines, a crane which can turn on the spot



and a mobile catapult with interchangeable flaming ball or bomb, a cannon and spikes.



That's after many hours of testing and improvements, but I could put the six wheeled design on the base of the catapult if required later.

Now trying to master the art of flying, it's not going well

Flying machines are a complete nightmare to control.

Best thing I've come up with is a flying cube, managed to control it using short hops rather than sustained flight and it still has a habit of flipping upside down with no notice whatsoever.



I need more levels now, I want to destroy more stuff!

Looks fab - just bought the alpha.

[GrumpyTwig]

I've made a few variations on the same theme but I love things that spin and are constantly on the verge of self destruction.



The whole top part spins around on a central point, it is useless on most of the levels apart from the two where you have to kill a lot of sheep or soldiers. Then they're doomed >

Great little Alpha, very short at present, it will be amazing one it is a fully fledged game. Some larger, long levels would be great too.

I picked this up as well. It's quite fun. I need more bits like pulleys and chains though.

Decided to give this a try as well. It shows a lot of promise.
