Multiplayer Demo Video

Here’s a quick multiplayer demo:

Concept Overview

Endeavor is a massive multiplayer online game in a voxel-based world. The player is a customizable robot which is capable of building on the terrain, upgrading parts, battling other players and enemies, forming alliances, and will eventually compete to win the server. There will be multiple servers running, which gives players a choice of which one to play.

Map

The map is divided into regions, each with a specific biome. Every player begins the game with 1 region, but can acquire more over time. Rivers separate the regions and cannot be modified. Not all regions are occupied by players, but are computer controlled and can be taken by force.
Microblocks

In the game, there is a different microblock that represents ownership of each region. By obtaining a region’s microblock, you gain that region and everything within it. Microblocks can be stolen or found by any player, so it must be kept safe. Aside from representing property ownership, by inserting the microblock into your robot, the player gains special abilities during the game. A few of these are as follows: faster movement, better weapons, a higher carrying capacity, and teleportation.

Robot

The player’s robot is highly customizable from the colors you choose to the fuel type and metal hull. You can design a robot that moves quickly or one that has a high carrying capacity, which can be upgraded.


Objective

There is an objective to this game. The goal is to win the server by an alliance. The details of this are still being worked on, but, as of right now, it will be a large object the players must construct.

Endeavor - A Voxel-Based MMO

Hey everyone! This is the development blog for a voxel-based MMO for PC, Mac, and Linux named Endeavor. We at Toast Mobile have been working on it for the past few months and are excited to share our progress with you! We'll have some gameplay footage to show you soon, but for now here’s a few screenshots:









Our plan is to use Kickstarter for funding and give beta access to select backers, so if you’re interested in getting your hands on the first copy of the game and being involved in the development process, stay updated on when we launch the Kickstarter project!
