Bionic Recur Unit Workshop is out !


The download link is at the bottom of this post

To the others who knows me...

...Well, well, well...

I might have hinted on X.com that I had an action game in production, but this was without accounting for how much a Unity developer (especially me) can fool himself. 

Here's how it happened: I started working on the next Bionic Recur Unit game, aiming to integrate shooter elements, inventory collection, exploration, etc. I had already reworked all animations, the main Toa model, and all the controls.I had harbored the goal for a long time to integrate part inventory management. I never believed I would be able to... Switch parts. So at first, you could only change the colors of your Toa. But this was really frustrating for me. I wanted to be able to make any kind of Toa, be it short, thicc, or upside down. So I got working on this, and it was really hard to put together.

So, this new Workshop game. Looking back, it has been as much work as the Exploration game, if not more. So, here we are, several months of work just to have a Toa character editor. This has already been so tedious that I decided to release it as a standalone module because I thought to myself that people could enjoy it. I chose the name "Workshop" because all you can do is change any parts of your Toa, and most things adapt to it. You can also switch pose, change the environments, generate random Toa (like in my first publication, except it's better because it really looks random), and finally take snapshots of them. 

You'll notice that there is now a price tag and that you can donate to the project if you wish. I know how complicated this is regarding Lego policy, but I simply don't have a choice if I want to keep on. Money has been a real problem for me all along, and if it wasn't, it could really have sped up the whole process.

This letter is kind of apologetic, I know, but that's just because I wish to do so much more. First and foremost for myself as a Bionicle fan because all this stems from a deep love for the franchise and my own dreams about what it could be. And also to share it for the others who get one or fewer Bionicle games per year. Well, for now, you can channel your frustration by regenerating an infinite number of Toa in retro style. Stay tuned because I'll set up a way for users to give feedback, and I still have to put up Mac and Linux support. Hope you enjoy the experience, kisses to all of you Bionerds !
