The MassiveBlendWorks Contest 2012

MassiveBlenderWorks Contest Announcement: 23 April 2012

admin — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 14:33:36 +0000

On Monday 23 April 2012, Thorworks will anounce its MassiveBlenderWorks contest.
Thorworks will give a license for one freeware game on an early Alpha of our MassiveEngine, to give the experience of developing multi-platform games with Blender as a total game design suite.
This contest is open for existing or new teams, as long as the 3D creation is done primarily in Blender, and the result is a Freeware game.
The Competition Rules and additional information will be made availble by public announcement.
This is our way of giving back to the incredible Blender community, and we are very interested in what game designs the community can come op with.

Quick website update

Apparently the website had problems with the font rendering on Windows due to some incompatibility of Windows with the used font rendering engine, so we changed to a more default font to fix this issue.

MassiveEngine presentation on Blender Conference 2011 (28-29-30)

admin — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 23:53:08 +0000

With great joy we can announce that we will be giving a presentation on Blender Conference 2011 about our MassiveEngine.
We will talk about how the engine functions, current and future features, do a realtime showcase of a early tech demo and of we will talk about our Blender3D integration.

We are using the magnificent Blender3D software as our entire Game Design tool for the engine, so 3d modeling, animating, creating game worlds, make objects move, assign logic to your content and many more options become a single experience.
We will also talk a little about our Ogre3D core, Bullet Physics engine and our own engine features.

If you are interested in attending the conference, go the Blender Conference Website for more information.
The entire conference (including our presentation) will be streamed Live and be available on our Youtube channel afterwards.

We will announce our specific timeslot when the timetable becomes available.

Massive Engine

admin — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 23:14:20 +0000

MassiveEngine, a game engine build with a optimised workflow for Designers and Programmers.

This multi-platform game engine is based on Ogre3D, Bullet Physics, OpenAL and written entirely in C++
Current supported platforms are: Linux, Mac OSX, Windows (Android and iOS are possible, but not maintained yet)
MassiveEngine uses Blender3D as a total design tool with our unique integration.

Designers can benefit from the use of Blender for everything a designer could need!
Blender is our total solution used for creating models, designing worlds, assigning logic to objects, storing content, designing gameplay and much more!

Programmers will benefit from the C++ codebase, direct access to all the library’s used by the MassiveEngine, and access to the specific components the Designers use within Blender.

If you want more information about the workflow of the MassiveEngine, a first-look video of our presentation on Blender Conference 2011 is available on Youtube.

MassiveEngine is currently in early development, but if you have interest in testing or using the MassiveEngine, please contact us by sending a email to the address on the About page.

Gronos

admin — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 21:02:24 +0000

Gronos is a cartoony themed fast pased 3rd person shooter which was in development in 2009.

Although a proof of concept is developed, this game is currently on hold.
Plans are to revive Gronos as a Freeware demo for the MassiveEngine together with volunteers and students interested in gaining experience in Game Development.
