I’ve been doing some detective work and wanted to see how far back we were encountering some bugs. I went back. All the way back to alpha. Alpha was simple time. A time free of major crash bugs. Everyone was Turbo and everyone was happy. Despite lava being unforgiving and ridiculously easy to fall into. Bolts were coins and everyone had their time of stardom on the jumbotron. It's pretty amazing to see the differences and how far things have come.

We contributed an article to the Unreal 4 community blog. We talk about a little bit of everything from the game design to the materials used in the game. Check it out!

The scoreboard and the bolts system has been going through some changes. Currently this is the state they’re in. Hopefully by looking at it you’ll know what the information represents. Will this be a permanent addition? Stay tuned to find out!

I sat here for half an hour just playing around with the colors for our characters from the materials Everett set up. I call these (left to right) Turbee, Hot Slug, Brandon’s Coat, and Pristine.

A work in progress shot of our new and improved character select screen. We’re bringing customizable colors into the mix, allowing players to personalize their fighter.
