Collapse: the Rage – Best Game Design on KRI 2010

Victor — Tue, 18 May 2010 19:29:43 +0000

In spite of the good press’ and players’ great receptions of Collapse, despite ‘Best Action’ award of the original game we continued improving the game with Collapse: the Rage.

When developing Collapse: the Rage we made the gameplay more interesting and replayable. We wanted to give the players possibility to make meaningful choices in a fightand make the fights more dynamic.

And we did that! The Fighting mechanic is not only about combat but making interesting about things like what to get from a dead enemy: experience, health, rage or energy? Now players not only master the abilities, but also make the decisions and think ahead..

During Russian Game Developers Conference 2010 (KRI) Collapse: the Rage was awarded as “KRI 2010: Best Game Design”!

But we did all that for the gamers not for a jury. And we hope you’ll be pleased with our new game – Collapse: the Rage.

Collapse: the Rage – Best Graphics on KRI 2009

Victor — Mon, 18 May 2009 19:24:57 +0000

During Russian Game Developers Conference 2008 (KRI) Collapse was awarded “KRI 2008: Best action-game”!

In addition to the others features of the game, we were concentrated on graphics when developing Collapse: the Rage. COLLAPSE has nice visuals but we want to make the picture more technologically strong.

These are some of the improvements we’ve made:

the level of detail has been drastically increased (normal maps and additional detail maps on the all objects)

dynamic light with shadows from the all level objects, direct lightmaps, dynamic ambient occlusion (ambient lighting)

strong particle system including ‘geometrical particles’ (blood, dismemberment )

post-render effects (explosions, Rage mode, dynamic programming color correction and other effects)

special effects based on geometric calculations (varied large-scale decals, piece-by-piece destruction, complex trails from the sword and bullets)

But the technology shown in the KRI-demo isn’t final. By release we plan to improve the graphics to make Collapse: the Rage more appealing, expressive and dynamic game!

COLLAPSE goes gold!
