Happy Holidays! As the year winds down, our studio will be taking a break from the week of Christmas until after New Year's to recharge and celebrate with loved ones. This means there will be no contest or community developer stream in December, but don’t worry, we’ll be back in January to kick off another exciting year of Besiege with all of you. Thank you for an incredible year, and we can’t wait to see what you build in 2025!

Cheers everyone,
Sam

Hey everyone!

As you're probably aware, the Steam Awards are currently underway and we'd be grateful for your support in nominating us for the Labor of Love Award.

After nearly 10 years of Besiege development, we still have plans for new content and improvements going into the future that we're excited to bring you!

For us, developing Besiege is truly a labor of love.
Please consider nominating us. :)

Hello everyone!

Today we’ve released V1.65 of Besiege, bringing 4 new blocks, 2 new tools to help you perfect your machine building and some block related changes and fixes!
Drag Block
The drag block applies a large amount of drag when moving in a specific direction, but is aerodynamic (applies low drag) when moving in the opposite direction.

Fly Wheel
The Fly Wheel is a block that resists rotational change, storing angular momentum and then releasing it at a steady rate (like charging up a battery and then outputting power at a steady rate). Put simply, a Fly Wheel will rotate at a steady rate regardless of how much the rotational speed of the input changes.
The Fly Wheel’s inertia & power can be customized with the parameter tool, as can the key used for engaging its clutch.

Bounce Pad
The Bounce Pad works like a pogostick, when force is applied to it, it creates a substantial repelling force in the opposite direction, causing it to bounce.

Roller Wheel
The Roller Wheel is actually a set of wheels that are perfectly smooth, allowing them to rotate freely, without a motor. Unlike a caster wheel, the Roller Wheels are locked on a specific axis and have great grip, making them useful for steering.
Stiffness of the wheels can be customized allowing them to bend on a horizontal axis or remain completely rigid.

In addition to the new blocks, we’ve also added 2 new visualization modes to Besiege that will help you better understand your machine’s performance and identify areas that could be improved.

The first one is a “Drag Visualizer” which, when activated in simulation, will show you which parts of your machine are creating/experiencing the most drag. This tool works for drag through the air and water alike.

The other tool is a “Joint Stress Visualizer”. During simulation, while activated, this tool shows you how much strain the joints of your machine are under. It’s an excellent way to check which parts of your machine are likely to break and could do with additional strengthening.

Something else we wanted to mention in this post is that, by popular request, we have made Besiege’s soundtrack purchasable on its own, no longer requiring you to purchase the “Supporter Edition” to receive it.

That’s all for today but we’ll be releasing the 10th year anniversary update for Besiege early next year so stay tuned for details!

Cheers everyone!
Von

PS: The Steam awards are coming up and we'd really appreciate your support as we approach 10 years of Besiege's development! :)

Hello Everyone!

Today we’ve released another major update, focussed around Besiege’s level editor, coupled with some quality of life features/changes. The update adds 120+ new objects (including complex objects for the first time, like the Galleon ship), a new camera mode for better machine tracking in tight spaces, improvements to multiplayer and other improvements & fixes!

Besiege is also 75% off and the Splintered Sea expansion will be 20% off, for the next week!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2165710/Besiege_The_Splintered_Sea/


The core focus of this update was adding additional objects to the level editor and bringing some of the more complex, heavily requested items to it as well! During this process we felt the object categories could benefit from some reorganisation and we also spent time improving thumbnails to make objects easier to find & understand.

Wherever possible we’ve tried to give everyone access to Splintered Sea objects, to avoid situations where players accidentally create maps that require the Expansion without realising it. This means that we’ve only locked off objects that are very obviously from the Expansion (such as the Squid, Sharks, Ships, etc).

Let's start with the most exciting category; Weaponry & Vehicles!
This section now features the Splintered Sea Galleon and the Airships from the base game, which have been long requested by the community. We've also added all the NPC cannons from Besiege, which can be placed on the Galleon or Airships and will automatically attach. These objects also have a proper ai system, enabling them to chase and attack your machines!

In the Buildings and Structure’s category we’ve added 24 new objects/variants, most of which come from the Splintered Sea expansion but are available to all Besiege players.

The Props category has gained 45 new objects/variants, most of which again come from the Splintered Sea expansion but many coming from the base game campaign as well, including some interesting objects like the Dragon Skull from Valfross, the Golden Egg from Autilis and the Ancient Tome from Tolbrynd.
It’s our hope that adding some of the more unique campaign objects will enable you to create levels with more varied objectives and aesthetic features.

The Tiling Brick section now includes all the destructible wall pieces used in Besiege’s campaign, which should allow for the creation of more interesting and varied fortresses in your levels! This section now also contains the various banners from across Besiege’s campaign islands.

The Foliage & Environment category has benefitted from a significant reorganisation and much clearer thumbnail images. Although most of Besiege’s foliage was already present in the editor, much of it was hidden away as variants and was difficult to browse through, so in this update we’ve given many objects their own thumbnail in the panel to make it easier to choose which one you want.

The Animals and NPCs categories have also received some love, with more Splintered Sea creatures added (including the Giant Squid, Shark Egg and Giant Shark) and the missing Krolmar Javelin Thrower, the Frozen Knight’s from Valfross and.. Something else as well..

The Primitives section has seen some love as well, with the addition of new objects useful for building roads/ramps/circuits and even loops! We’ve also added a ton more materials/textures which can be applied to primitive shapes and some other objects like the sand dune. All the campaign environment materials are present, as well as some extra ones we felt could be useful.

The Virtual category now contains the “finish line” used in Splintered Sea’s race/gate level, a Zero Gravity zone and a “Joint” object. The Joint object can be placed to intersect between two other objects, creating a joint between them and connecting them together.

For Water levels we've added options for setting the water's altitude and also how rough the surface is. You can switch between several "Types", each with it's own degree of roughness.

The Build Zone now automatically adjusts size depending on whether you’re playing in a water environment, giving you more space to build seafaring vessels.

We also spent some time revisiting existing objects in the level editor, in order to make them more usable, like the “Sharp” and “Smooth” ramps. These ramps now have a softer incline and a reworked collider to make them easier to drive on. Many objects have also recieved fixes for issues like not being breakable or being able to catch fire.


To start with, we’ve got a new option for Besiege’s camera that prevents it from passing through large objects and terrain. This means you can now more easily control your machine near large terrain features, in tight spaces, or even in structures created in the level editor.

Those of you who participate in large multiplayer games will be pleased to hear that (thanks to some clever maths) we’ve been able to double the playable area in Multiverse sessions, giving you much more space to manoeuvre your fighter jets and other crazy creations!
We've also made some improvements to machine loading in multiplayer sessions, to make it more performant.

Another setting we’ve added to the game’s options is “UI Accent”, which allows you to colour shift Besiege’s UI and we’ve also added a “Saturation” slider that controls the colour intensity of the game overall. Additionally we’ve created an option for defining which “Display” (screen) you want Besiege to output to.

That’s all for this update, but we’ve got the Block & 10 Year Anniversary updates coming in the next few months so stay tuned! We hope you enjoy our revamp of the level editor and we look forward to seeing the new exciting levels you create with it.

Cheers,
Von

- changing the size of multiplayer world from 2,000 x 1,750 x 2,000 to 4,000 x 1,500 x 4,000
-- (the slight lowering of the height by 250m was necessary on a technical level to ensure a smooth experience after expanding the floor area by 4 times as much)
- added water altitude setting to level settings
- added water type selection to level settings
- fixed objects that were unable to break (or didn't display correctly for clients) and/or move in Level Editor, even though they had settings for it
-- Desert House, Cart, Lyre, Coliseum Column, Arena Column, Gate, Arch, Scaffold, Scaffold Tall, Fence Low, Basket, and more
- fixed fire on several objects, including wooden ramp objects and certain foliage in level editor
- fixed newly placed colliseum pieces in level editor to aligning and not be squished
- fixed density and mass sliders in Level Editor for some objects not assigning values
- fixed some objects that would not sync correctly for clients becuase they were marked as never moving network side
- polished all thumbnails in the level editor
fixed NPC cannons aiming being framerate and timescale dependent
- fixed NPCs sometimes spawning weird blood coulds only intended for water maps
- fixed order of operations of bombs exploding and calling Level Editor events, so that if they respawn themselves on explode they do not stack overflow.

- fixed being able to scale unscalable objects during placement in level editor
- changed the layout of the level editor categories
- fixed when placing certain objects in Level Editor pressing T or holding T didn't scale the object visibly
- fixed an issue in the level editor where after a transform event we always reassign their physics to default moving, even if they shouldn't have been
- now displaying in level editor which objects are DLC specific
- fixing multiplayer spectator not working after TSS was introduced
- level editor walls' destroy threshold now also modify how easily the break off of adjecent pieces
- updated level editor scale tool so that when you scale an object multiple times in a row, the numbers actually try and stay on the grid you defined (instead of going from 1.0 -> 0.9 -> 0.72 -> 0.682, it'd go 1.0 -> 0.9 -> 0.8 -> 0.7)
- added ambience to sandboxes and level editor environments
- fixed NAT punchthrough fascilitator server trying to connect over and over in a steam environment, as well as outside if it fails it keeps trying forever even if it can never reach the server. This caused lagspikes every 10 seconds when it failed.
- Limiting Level Editor selection tool selection range from infinity to 1000 to get a better selection of objects, also improving the performance and delay to select or open mapper for said objects.
- spread out and improved the multiplayer machine loading to avoid as high potential for bad frames, note if you have great framerate and want faster spawning set fps cap to unlimited

Hello Everyone!

Today we'd like to share our roadmap for the next 6 months of Besiege PC development and announce that Besiege is out now on the Nintendo Switch (Asia coming Dec 12th)!

Switch & Playstation Launch Schedule:

NA/EU/AUNZ
Nintendo Switch - OUT NOW![www.nintendo.com]
Playstation 4 & 5 - October/November (Undetermined date)

Asia
Nintendo Switch - 12th of December
Playstation 4 & 5 - 12th of December
Physical Copies (Japan Only) - 12th of December[playism.com]

This year's been an exciting one for us so far, but it's not over yet! As you can see in the graphic below, we have 2 more free PC updates planned for this year and a special 10 year anniversary update planned for early 2025!

We also have plans for further development throughout 2025, but we'll talk more about that next year.

After the Splintered Sea's campaign update, we wanted to take some time to revist the level editor.
We're not going to get too deep into specifics in this post but in the next update you can expect to see a lot more objects added to the editor (including some of the cooler more complicated ones.. stay tuned), better support for making water levels and some general quality of life improvements for the game.

Our goal with this update is to give our awesome community (you guys) more content and options to create exciting levels/environments for everyone to enjoy!

This update will contain several new blocks for you to explore, each offering new utility to your machine designs.

We can't believe it's been almost 10 years already! So much has happened in that time and to celebrate we'll be releasing an update that's focussed around that history; revisiting & revitalizing some of Besiege's historical content and adding new challenges to the game!

Besiege on Nintendo Switch offers a new way of playing the classic game, with the portability of the Switch allowing you to enjoy the creative sandbox anywhere, anytime. The intuitive controls and touch-screen capabilities of the Switch have been seamlessly integrated, offering new ways to interact with and build your machines. Place blocks with a tap of your finger or use the drag god tool to smash enemies and fling your machine about.
Touch screen controls work with the entire user interface and also allow you to control the camera. You can even touch a cannon to make it fire!

Please note, that due to technical limitations, the console versions of Besiege do not include Multiplayer or the Level Editor.

That's everything for today, but there's an exciting year ahead for Besiege and we can't wait to show you more of what we have planned!

Cheers everyone!
Von

Hey Everyone!

Welcome to the second edition of our monthly Community Highlights! Before we showcase some of the best of what our community had to offer in the month of July, we'd like say a thank you to everyone who participated in the Besiege Screenshot Contest! Submissions have been incredible, and we were blown away by the sheer talent and creativity displayed. After careful consideration, we’re thrilled to announce the winners of the contest!

🥇 1st Place: ちゃーな
🥈 2nd Place: Brammer001
🥉 3rd Place: pukku131
Congratulations to our winners, and a big round of applause to everyone who entered. Your passion and creativity make this community truly special.

Additionally, we're thrilled to share that Besiege was recently showcased at Japan's biggest speedrun event, RTA in Japan! Two of our incredible community members, Himuro Yuki and Madoka, represented Besiege in a thrilling 100% speedrun. Himuro Yuki completed all the levels in 29 minutes and 46 seconds, while Madoka provided insightful and entertaining commentary throughout the run. Their performance was a fantastic display of skill and passion, and we're incredibly proud to have such talented players in our community. Congrats!

Now, onto our second Community Highlights!
