Hello everyone!

Today we’ve got another quality of life update bringing a host of new features and changes for players both new and existing! But before we delve into the details we’d just like to say a big thank you for all the interest and support that’s been shown for Besiege’s upcoming space expansion: The Broken Beyond.

If you haven’t already, please wishlist the expansion as it really helps us out!

For this update, community modder dagriefaa has been working tirelessly on implementing some of the community’s most popular mod features and requests into the base game, so a huge thank you to him from all the team at Spiderling!

To start with, you can now remap hotkeys for multiple blocks at the same time, improving your ability to quickly customise your machine controls. The “Paint Bucket” has also received some attention, with changes that should make it much quicker and easier to apply & change the block skins you commonly use on your machines.

For less experienced players we’ve added a host of tutorials to The Splintered Sea expansion, that will teach you the fundamentals of building aquatic machines, from ships to submarines! We’ve also updated a bunch of the game’s block tooltips to make them more consistent and offer you more details of their stats.

Both the Cannon & Water Cannon now have a higher maximum power of 3x, instead of the original 2, and new graphics options for higher FPS and Vsync have been added. These features and many more are all detailed down in the changelog below, so do take a look and don’t forget to wishlist The Broken Beyond, coming Q2 2026!

Cheers everyone, Von

Hello everyone!

Today we’re excited to bring you a quality of life update for Besiege. We’ve been working with community modder dagriefaa to bring some of Besiege’s most popular mods into the base game, along with a host of other improvements!

Additive Loading Additive loading allows you to load multiple save or workshop machines into Besiege, without deleting your previous one. You might use this to load in two different vehicles or a saved section of machine which you then connect to whatever you’re building to save time.

Paint Bucket Search This one’s pretty self explanatory but, the Paint Bucket feature (used for applying skins to blocks) now has a search function and can be sorted.

Machine autosave An autosave system has been added, which automatically saves iterations of your machine that are stored in their own folder, to avoid cluttering up your save/load menu. You can customize how the maximum number of saves and how long saved files are stored, in the settings menu. Overwriting a machine will also save the previous version using the autosave system.

Directional Mode for Speedometer The Speedometer now allows you to select which directions you’d like it to measure. You can select all directions, one axis or forward/backward only.

Camera Snapping & Orthographic view If you hold “Alt” while moving the camera and align it precisely with one side of the bounding box, the camera will shift to an orthographic mode, allowing you to view your machine design side on.

We’ve also made a bunch of other improvements which are outlined in the changelog below, including blockmapper usability, easier management of variables for block control and a rework of the small wheel to make it more useful.

We hope you find these additions and improvements helpful! The team is hard at work on Besiege’s next expansion, which is shaping up to be very exciting, and we’ll likely be bringing you another quality of life update towards the end of the summer.

Cheers everyone, Von

Hello everyone!

Today we’ve got another update for you, containing extras that we weren’t quite able to squeeze into the Anniversary Update. We’d also like to take this opportunity to update you on our Roadmap for Besiege in 2025. It is subject to change, but we wanted to give you some idea of what you can expect over the next year.

The first thing we’ve added in this update are the final two rulers from the Besiege campaign; The Withered King & Admiral Drasckar. Technically Drasckar was already present in the Splintered Sea campaign, but he’s received a cool makeover to make him stand out more!

Next up, we’ve added a whole bunch of new sounds to Besiege’s blocks, including the; Piston, Rope & Winch, Grenade and Flying Block. In particular these sounds create a really visceral experience when creating mechanical engines in game.

https://youtu.be/X3zmXEXTIX8 We’ve also added some missing objects from the Anniversary update to the level editor, including those from the new “Legacy” sandbox level, which you can now use to create your own playgrounds! The island rulers are also placeable in the level editor.

Additionally, we’ve added two new “Source Cube” skins into the game, which can be unlocked by completing the base game & Splintered Sea "Completionist" achievements respectively. We hope this’ll be a nice little reward/recognition of your achievements! :)

Lastly, we’ve made a bunch of small improvements and added new options to the game, which you can read about in the changelog below.

We also have a bit of bad news. The main reason this update took so long to release is that we spent a lot of time trying to fix an issue on Mac that was causing crashes. Unfortunately, after considerable effort, we've come to the conclusion that the issue is caused by the steam Leaderboards we added last update and it is not currently fixable. This has meant that we've had to disable leaderboards indefinitely on M-core Macs. We apologise for this and if a solution ever presents itself, we will endavour to fix the problem and reenable leaderboards.

We hope the additions and improvements in this update are welcome ones, and we’re looking forward to an exciting year for Besiege & Spiderling!

Cheers, Von

PS: We're really interested in getting your feedback and thoughts on Besiege and have created a quick player survey which you can fill out and let us know your opinions on things! :)

Hello Everyone!

This year is Besiege’s 10th anniversary since its launch into early access in 2015! Ten years of development has absolutely transformed the game from its humble origins- combining hundreds of new features, blocks and levels to make Besiege the machine building & destruction extravaganza it is today.

We are incredibly proud of the community that has grown around Besiege during its first decade, overflowing with creativity, ingenuity and people willing to help others learn new ways of building their ultimate machines. You’ve never ceased to amaze and inspire us at Spiderling!

This is going to be an exciting year for Spiderling, we can’t wait to show you our future plans for Besiege and more... We’ll be celebrating Besiege’s 10th birthday throughout this year, with community events & future updates. We’re even working on a small video featuring some of our team talking about Besiege’s journey; from inception to where the game is now.

Before we get into the details of the 10 year anniversary update, we just want to take the opportunity once again to thank all of you; Besiege’s fans & players, for your wonderful support and your contribution to Besiege’s awesome community. Thank you.

10th Anniversary Update

For this update we wanted to focus on additions centering around Besiege’s community & core playerbase. Adding some extra replayability to the campaign, bringing back some nostalgia and improving the quality of the game.

Achievements

As part of this update we decided to spend some time going through Besiege’s achievements, improving some of the less interesting ones, adding in new challenges and removing some the most disliked ones (multiplayer focused).

In total we’ve added 25 new achievements, some of which are for the Splintered Sea expansion. Many of the new achievements require you to collect a “Strange Fragment” in order to complete them. These strange fragments appear to be related in some way to the source cube and are often revealed after accomplishing the main achievement task.

Stat Tracking & Ranking

Besiege’s scoreboards have received a major upgrade, with your time, damage taken and “block score” displayed upon completion of a campaign level. Your scores are also added to a global leaderboard so you can compare your performance with other Besiege players.

Time & Damage Taken are quite obvious, but Block total is a more complicated metric. Each block in Besiege is assigned a point value (with more powerful blocks having a higher point value). The total value of all the blocks you use in simulation is added together, to give you your “Block Total” score. The lower your score is, the better you’ve done and the further up the leaderboards you’ll be placed. Using a machine downloaded from the workshop means you won’t be able to get your score added to the scoreboards.

Steam Trading Cards

(Steam Profile Badges)

Besiege now has Steam Trading Cards, which you unlock by playing the game over time. These cards are tradeable and can be used to unlock special Besiege badges, emojis (for use in Steam’s chat system) and backgrounds for your Steam profile.

(Steam Trading Cards)

The art in Besiege’s trading cards was produced by daichi, a prominent member of the Japanese Besiege community! Thank you daichi for your hard work on these!

(Steam Emoticons)

(Steam Profile Backgrounds)

Tolbrynd Level

We’ve long been unhappy with the final level of the Tolbrynd island, so for this update we decided to rework it into something cooler and more exciting! The new version looks awesome, is challenging to complete and a lot of fun!

Automatic Timescale

A new feature we’ve added to Besiege for this update automatically adjusts the game’s Timescale slider when your computer is under heavy load and your FPS drops. This means that when lots of physics interactions are occurring at the same time, the game slows down time to ensure a smooth gameplay experience. An added bonus of this effect is that large explosions and crashes will automatically occur in slow motion, as they’re often the most intense moments of physics simulation.

Legacy Sandbox

The original Sandbox is now back in the game after receiving a dramatic makeover with all new models and textures. The environment has also been rescaled to better fit the larger machines more commonly used by players today, and it’s been extended to create more of a circuit to traverse.

Rulers of Campaign Islands

The rulers of each campaign island have always been conspicuously absent from the game’s levels, but this is no longer the case! The final level of each campaign island now has that island’s ruler fighting alongside their army against you.

**Alpha Version of Besiege **

The original version of Besiege, which first launched the game into early access in 2015, is now available to play through Steam’s “Betas” selection tab. We thought this would be a fun way for everyone to see just how much Besiege has changed over these past 10 years!

To access this version of Besiege, right click on Besiege in your Steam Library, select “Properties” and then navigate to the “Betas” tab, then select “Alpha Besiege” from the dropdown box.

That concludes the 10 year anniversary update but there will be plenty more to come for Besiege over the course of 2025!

Thank you, once again for your epic support over these past 10 years. We hope you enjoy this update and are excited to see what comes next!

Cheers everyone! Von

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/

Level Editor

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.

Additional Features

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

Hello everyone!

Today we’ve released our first big update since the launch of The Splintered Sea expansion. In this update we’ve added 5 additional levels to the Splintered Sea’s campaign, rebalanced some of the existing levels and implemented general improvements & fixes based on your feedback!

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

The campaign’s levels have been rearranged to incorporate the new levels and account for adjustments made to existing ones. We did this to ensure a steady ramping up of difficulty and an understandable narrative for your progression through it. Please note that if you've edited your completed_levels.txt file in the past, the new levels may show as completed already.

The Sunken Stronghold

First in the lineup of new campaign levels is The Sunken Stronghold, a dilapidated underwater fortress, used by the Offlanders to protect a strange new mineral they’ve been trying to extract from the nearby rockface.

Stormrunner’s Grave

The Stormrunner, once the pride of the Offlander fleet, now lays at the bottom of the sea, along with its precious cargo. With such a prize carried in her hull, you can be sure someone will come to recover it sooner or later. Perhaps something can be done about that…

Ironweave Passage

The Ironweave Passage is a defensive fortification, designed to prevent uninvited guests from traveling deeper into the Offlander’s territory. A sequence of huge, powerful metal gates can be closed to keep their enemies out, but maybe you can squeeze through in time.

Razortooth Cave (Updated)

A mysterious and shiny golden egg has found its way into Razortooth Cave. Rather an odd place for such an object, surely there’s somewhere better for it... The Razortooths won’t mind if you move it, right?

Feeding Frenzy

Razortooths are among the most common predators in the seas of Autilis, tending to live & hunt in small groups (or “shivers), with their innate pack-like behavior & hierarchy generally preventing the formation of larger groups. In rare cases however, much greater quantities of Razortooths can join together, if their pack leader is strong enough to keep them all in check.

The Devouring Pit

At the bottom of the sea there is a pit filled with darkness, caged off with giant iron bars, and there resides an ancient horror none are known to have survived. Turn back now, or join the countless souls it has devoured…

Our goal with this update was not only to increase the amount of levels for the Splintered Sea Campaign, but also to offer greater challenges for you to overcome and new gameplay experiences that water makes possible. We hope you feel we’ve accomplished this goal and, as always, we look forward to hearing about your experiences and seeing the new content you produce! 🙂

Cheers everyone, Von

Besiege & The Splintered Sea will be joining a host of other great simulation games in the Steam Simfest sale, starting later today and running through to the 29th of July!

Changelog Version 1.56:

Block changes Aquatic Screw:

• now has a top speed dictated by the angular velocity to emulate the ideal rotation speed for the pitch of the blades
• speed slider max value has increased from 2 to 3
• "Mirrored" toggle added to select the chirality of the screw Harpoon Launcher:
• Fixed unproportional forces between launcher and harpoon

• newly spawned source cubes (i.e. not loaded from old saves) will be solved as accurately as wheels, to stop the behaviour where placing a wheel on a machine will feel different than without it Spring:
• fixed a modded interaction issue when the dimensions were scaled down to near zero in certain axes Sensors:
• fixed immense lag when tall terrain and water could be seen
• fixed sensor's detecting floor when ignoring static Flying Block:
• The flying screw now is less effective under water Water Cannon:
• Now updates force particles during the physics ticks as well, so the forces applied from water cannons should be more consistent at all time scales and framerates Misc:
• slightly updating how blood and damage looks on blocks

UI & Controls Camera:

• Added option for follow machine orientation camera (similar to our console implementation)
• Fixed an issue with centering camera on the machine
• Various small camera fixes Options Menu:

Levels The Sunken Stronghold: NEW Stormrunner's Grave: NEW Ironweave Passage: NEW Feeding Frenzy: NEW The Devouring Pit: NEW Razortooth Cave:

• Made sharks harder to kill
• Replaced chest with faberge egg treasure
• Increased distance to goal
• Added shark eggs as obstacles

Bug Fixes Drasckar's Bastille now no longer has a motor force on the cog wheel Drasckar's Bastille now has gravity applied to the metal grate Fixed an NRE happening on middle mouse click Fixing scaling on some zoom dependent objects Fixed various blocks not responding correctly with their water interactions if zero-g was toggled Fixed an issue with water zones in the level editor when multiple were loaded directly on top of eachother Fixing length detector drawing out rope correctly Multithreaded our water aerodynamic drag comparisons to improve fps a little bit for large machines Fixed wrongly being able to use the block searching hotkeys even in simulation or as a spectator Made it so only the machine entering sim is in zero gravity during the sim change Fixed when loading level editor levels with water the rendering on the water surface would mess up if shadows were disabled Fixed an issue in zone 12 where something was automatically breaking Fixed structures like the airships not being able to be weakened by burning Fixed an issue with DLC enabling and disabling that would cause errors in multiplayer e.g. Attempted a fix for NREs caused by mods being processed like having unique controls, but returning null controls Attempted a fix for achievement syncing during startup and shutdown of Besiege where it'd fail to compare the proper progress between local and online Attempted a fix for macos when underwater explosions are triggered because the metal renderer can't handle either rendering them correctly nor throwing a normal error Fixing ripples on water sometimes rendering weird because they weren't spawning within the correct water height.

Hotfix 21553

-Made the new sail collider changes backwards compatible so it wont break older machines -Fix for The Devouring Pit not being counted -Razortooth Cave is now completable

Hey everyone!

It's been exactly 1 week since we officially released The Splintered Sea expansion for Besiege, and we want to say thank you to everyone for continuing to support us!

If you already haven't picked it up, the launch discount will run until June 2nd.

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

We have been monitoring everyone’s feedback on the expansion and have pushed out a hotfix to the live branch addressing the most serious issues players have been reporting since launch with Version 1.50-21281 (Changelog can be found at the end of the post.)

Overall, the reception has been very positive for The Splintered Sea, however some of you have voiced frustrations about the length and difficulty of the campaign. We hear you, and we are working on improving this with a future update.

Here's a sneak peek of a new level we've been working on! You might remember it from the announcement trailer.

Additionally, with coming patches we're also expanding the feature set for some of the water blocks.

E.g. by enabling rudders to work as control surfaces in the air and adding the option to mirror the Aquatic Screw chirality.

That's all this week from the Spiderling crew, stay tuned for more updates on improvements!

We hope you've all been enjoying The Splintered Sea and look forward to seeing your amazing creations and continued feedback!

Hello Everyone!

We hope you all had a good holiday season. Today we’ve got a new update for you, featuring a host of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements for the game, including a huge decrease in simulation start times for surface blocks! A full list can be found in the changelog below.

Thank you to everyone from the Discord community who’s pitched in and playtested this update over the holiday period! Your help has enabled us to cram in more bug fixes and get the update released quicker than expected.

We’d also like to thank everyone who’s contributed to the new suggestions section on Discord. There’ve been some great discussions surrounding people’s ideas and it’s given us lots of inspiration for the future. Click below to join the Discord and add your suggestions too!

Regional Pricing:

Valve recommends that developers update their regional prices regularly, which we have not done since the 1.0 release. We wanted to give some advanced warning before we do, as pricing in most regions (Asia, Canada, Europe, Mexico & South America) is likely to increase.

To give everyone a chance to get the game at a discounted price before this happens, Besiege will be going on sale from the 29th of January to the 5th of February, after which the pricing update will take place.

That’s all for now and we hope you enjoy this latest installment of Besiege!

Cheers everyone, Von

We're excited to bring you the latest update for Besiege. This update introduces three new blocks, a Length Detector, Axle, and Metal Jaw block.

The Metal Jaw is a bear trap type weapon block that uses tension in a spring to release an impactful swipe or bite.

The Axle is a universal joint like block that is similar to a ball joint, except it isn't allowed to swivel freely, which means you can use them to transfer rotational energy from one part of the machine to another, like an axle on a car.

The Length Detector is much like a rope, but instead of shortening and lengthening itself physically, it just follows the two points it is between always, and dependent on length it can output a button like the other automation blocks.

In addition to the new blocks, we've added a couple extra features to existing blocks including; a damper setting for suspension, a target pressure/height for regular balloons, and an often requested pre-extension of sliders.

This update also includes important bug fixes, primarily focused on the Build Surface. We've addressed issues where clients couldn't connect to the host's surface blocks, when the host selected the move tool. We've also fixed a bug where surfaces would lose their paint colour when skins were toggled in simulation, and a problem where moving surfaces outside of the bounding box would cause fire spread to cover too big and inconsistent areas. For a full list of fixes, see the changelog below.

We've also optimized surface interactions to reduce their performance impact, like spread out their mesh generation in multiplayer when loading machines. Explosions are now less intensive, which means you'll experience fewer FPS drops when many overlapping explosions occur.

We hope you enjoy the new update and look forward to seeing the amazing creations you come up with using the new blocks and features!

Cheers everyone!

Hey everyone!

Today we’ve got another update for you V1.20, bringing a new block, a bunch of quality of life changes with a refreshed UI and a host of bugfixes. We've also launched some Besiege merch!

The new block can be used to raise your machine into the air, giving novice builders their first taste of creating a flying machine. The block works in a similar way to a hot air balloon, where its buoyancy can be increased or decreased on the fly, causing it to float gently at a desired height, and its colour can be customized.

Also for this update we've done an extensive rework of the game’s UI giving it a fresh, cleaner look, to go alongside the updates various quality of life improvements.

We’re also excited to announce that Besiege now has merch! Working with a number of talented artists we’ve come up with some cool stylistic designs for T-shirts & pin badges that are available right now on our new merch store!

We’ve also been working with Makeship to produce a Besiege Knight Plushy! Check him out, he’s so cool!!!! This is a limited time campaign and we need your help to make it happen, so make your pledge today if you’re interested!

That’s all for today, we hope you enjoy the update and we’re excited to continue Besieges development going forward. :)

Cheers everyone!

Hey Everyone!

Hope you all had a good time over the holidays, today we’ve got a big quality of life update!

The most important part of the update is that Besiege is switching to 64bit! This will mean players with powerful computers will see a huge performance boost when playing with larger machines, during testing we’ve seen up to a 3x FPS boost on certain workshop items!

We feel like now is a good time to make the shift to 64bit as it will put Besiege in a good position going forward, allowing us greater freedom to pursue more exciting features in the future.

If you’re still running a 32bit operating system then don’t worry! You’ll still be able to play Besiege as we’ve created a “legacy32bit” branch of the game on Steam, click here for a guide on how to change to the 32bit branch! However, you will need a 64bit operating system in order to play newer updates for Besiege.

In addition to shifting to 64bit we’ve got a host of new features, improvements and bug fixes for you. There’s a full changelog at the bottom of this post but here are some of the highlights:

• Added more features for the logic system, including new gate options and support for variables in place of keyboard inputs, making complex logic systems easier to manage & track

• Reworked Ipsilon campaign island that includes the advanced brick system, present in the later campaign islands, as well as fixing a bunch of issues with levels

• Increased the number of maximum cloud saves from 1,000 to 10,000

• Added more level editor objects

• Added language support for Italian, Polish, Turkish, Chinese Traditional (Taiwan), Chinese Traditional (Hong Kong)

• Made UI improvements, New Tutorial system & a bunch more stuff!

That’s all for today but watch this space, we’ve been working on a whole bunch of stuff since our last post and we have lots more to talk about in the next few weeks! :)

Cheers, Von

Hello everyone!

Today we’ve got another update for you, Version 1.05, bringing an awesome new feature we’ve been working on for a while now called “Build Surface” and some highly requested additions to the symmetry tool.

The Build Surface feature is a simple, highly customizable & powerful block/tool that allows you to create custom shaped blocks/panels for your war machine. These panels can be made from either wood or glass, both with their own characteristics that will affect the durability of your creation and how it reacts when damaged.

The tool uses a simple grid system that’s easy to master, even for you novice builders out there. You simply select 4 points on the grid and the tool will create a panel to fill the shape you have chosen.

Once you’ve created a panel you can then manipulate it into curved shapes using the advanced building tool. You simply select the advanced building tool, click one of the panel’s nodes and drag it to the shape you want.

The custom shaped panels you create also have aerodynamic properties which should unlock a whole range of new possibilities when constructing flying machines and airplanes.

The new panels have a health system that you can wear down by damaging them over time but it’s also possible to smash right through them, splintering the panels and sending fragments flying in every direction.

The size of the panels you make will affect how they react to damage or being put under stress, creating a more realistic structure for you machines.The panels also use the existing joint system, meaning that shapes you draw will attach to surrounding blocks and form a cohesive structure for your machine.

This new block/tool unlocks many more possibilities for designing your machines and makes creating complicated shapes and intricate detail on your machines even easier than before.

The tool is currently considered ‘Experimental’ which means we’re still actively working to improve it and give it a polish that we’re happy with.

In addition to the new block/tool we’ve made some additions to the symmetry tool that give it increased functionality, with two new modes that will further aid you in both building and editing your machines. The first new mode revolves around selection and modification of your machine. When you select a block with this option enabled, it will automatically select the corresponding block on the opposite side of your machine. For example if you select the front left wheel on your car, it will also select the front right wheel for you. If you use the advanced building tool with a mirrored selection, the blocks will behave in a mirrored fashion. For example if you have the front left & right wheels of your car selected and move the left wheel further away from the car’s center, the right wheel will also move further away from the center.

In addition this symmetry tool setting allows you to modify mirrored blocks at the same time, for example changing the speed of the front left wheel also changes the speed of the front right wheel. The second new mode lets you perform mirrored deletion of blocks on your machine, for example deleting the front left wheel also deletes the front right wheel.

That’s all for now and we truly can’t wait to see what madness you guys concoct with this awesome new feature!

Happy building!

Von

Hello Everyone!

Today we’ve got another update for you, bringing a whole load of new level objects & Krolmar’s desert environment to Besiege’s level editor, and a bunch of bug fixes for issues that have been reported since the V1.0 release!

The new level editor objects are from the new campaign island of Krolmar, so now you can make your own desert levels of doom for your friends or the wider community!

We’ve had a lot of really useful feedback about the Automation blocks since they were launched and have been hard at work making improvements to the way they work on a technical level. Key Emulation will now work consistently meaning that low FPS will no longer cause your machine to perform differently. This improvement will be most evident in Multiplayer, where previously lag spikes resulting from people loading in large machines were having a negative impact on machines that rely on an emulation system to function properly. Whilst this improvement will make using automation blocks much smoother in the long run, it’s possible that some existing machines may respond differently with the new update.

(Shameless twitter plug) You can follow us @spiderlinggames to get sneak peeks at cool new features and tech that we're working on, as well as announcements about Besiege and any future projects we work on!

That’s all for now folks, hope you enjoy this update and keep on Besiging!

Cheres, Von

Hello Everyone!

Today we’ve got another update for you, our first since Besiege left early access! This update, Version 1.01, adds 2 new blocks for the newly established Automation category and some fixes for minor bugs that have been reported since the V1.0 release.

The team’s been super excited to see everyone enjoying the V1.0 launch and they’ve been working round-the-clock to get this next update done as quickly as possible!

If you didn’t see our preview development post, here’s a quick rundown of what the new blocks do:

The Anglometer This block detects angles on a single axis, emulating a key press when an angle is met or exceeded. The block should allow you to create gyroscopes and stabilization systems for your machines.

The Speedometer The name’s pretty self explanatory for this one. The Speedometer is a new logic block that will emulate a key press when your machine reaches or drops below a certain speed. You will of course be able to adjust the speed in the blocks settings yourself.

We’re already seeing some awesome machines made with the Automation blocks added in V1.0 and we’re super excited to see what you guys create with these 2 new ones!

Follow us on Twitter to stay up to date with what we’re working on, and see some of the awesome creations the community is coming up with!

Thank you to everyone for all the support and positive feedback following Besiege’s release and we hope you enjoy this update!

Cheers, Von

Hello Everyone!

Today we are proud to announce that Besiege V1.0 has been released, bringing the game out of early access!

Version V1.0 brings the final island for Besiege’s singleplayer campaign, Krolmar. Krolmar is an ancient & mysterious desert island, filled with new enemies to slaughter, fortresses to obliterate & secret magics to unravel. With it’s stunning visuals and challenging levels, Krolmar brings a fitting finale to the campaign.

In addition to the new island, V1.0 also brings a new category of block to Besiege, Logic/Automation blocks. These blocks allow you to create automated mechanisms for machines, performing several actions in a sequence with the push of a single button, or automating actions using the various sensor blocks!

V1.0 includes 4 Logic/Automation Blocks, here’s a breakdown of what they do:

As with all our updates, version 1.0 comes with a large number of bug fixes, polishing the game off to it’s fully released state!

You may also be wondering what’s next for Besiege and Spiderling. We plan to continue working on Besiege, improving the game & prototyping experimental features!
