History lesson by @Squidgy

[Zjawcia]

so they were coded already and prolly still in game datas? Titan and Hunter?

[boundmore]

titans were the floating structures - half living thing half machine if I recall correctly

on your screenshots the one before hunter is probably a ground basher

I might be wrong in more than one thing here

Combine this video with the Ryegames video on dead games and you get the complete history lesson.

What did the Bashers do?

Amazing how much stuff exists but still isn’t in the game… And whoever animated the creatures in Boundless did such an amazing job.

@scrufola

What did the Bashers do?

they bashed the ground

they had that way of fighting where they would smash the ground with both fists; I wouldn’t be surprised if there was an area damage effect to that, so even if you didn’t stand right under its fists, it would deal damage to you (scaled down with distance of course)
would be so cool to see that in game - maybe also a stagger/fall effect with a new animation for our poor oortians

then there was the rock-eating worm…

A lot of stuff in Category Devlog/Dev art here on forum.

Art: Large and Small Worm!

[image] [image] Hello guys. Been busy partying with the worms. They supposedly belong to the same family, evolving from the Block Parasite. Edit**: Small worm differs from the big worm in that it maneuvers around the environment, burrowing into the ground and pops up to bite you. The large worm is pretty much an awesome thing**. It’s like ultimate treasure you go for as it leaves behind a tunnel full of goodies after you kill them. Here is the funky ideal size comparison for all the worms…

So, the Title says 2014 Playstation 2016. That means Oort online days. The data has probably been gone for some time.

OMG gimme them please give me them as companions oor worm farm
im still dreaming about husbandry update

[tarranth]

This is what titans looked like…

[tarranth]

According to James and Leah, the data is all still there. But a lot of the EA data was not compatible with the updated engine.
Which is why the 3 original races became one…

[Xaldafax]

They had to rebuild the model basically. There were plans to redo the old ones but obviously that fell apart…

[tarranth]

At 2:25 You’ll see the basher and their signature attack.

[Wondernut]

I guess that’s exactly what I mean the new engine removed much of that data

[KissMyClass09]

And we won’t ever see an update for this game forever

[tarranth]

Here’s another bit of History as well. @Zjawcia @scrufola check it out.

[tarranth]

Another bit of History.

[Heureka]

I wonder if Therka still exist in a file-store somewhere..

[tarranth]

According to a post from James (don’t remember where) where he said that all the planets and stuff from EA are in an archive somewhere.
