Development

2014
Public discussion and disclosure regarding due process starting around 2014, with the design goal of creating a first person shooter with elements similar to other 5v5 shooters, but with a major twist, the game would feature randomized maps and a deep round-based economy. Screenshots of the early builds surfaced and then shortly afterwords a few videos by Bluedrake42 and Node surfaced showing early gameplay, the design of which has been dubbed Blockdude.

2015
Artwork of characters resembling Judge Dredd soon surfaced and a direction in the art style became more established. More artwork and even videos of development became more frequent. Later in the year blog posts slowed down and talked more about design than actual development information. The developers went to Pax, the first of many.

The developers in 2016 started posting again, highlighting some new artwork and designs for the defenders and future customization of characters. Later in the year they showed significant progress, showing new maps and some gifs that started to look like actual gameplay. The developers got a new office in Seattle and announced a dedicated Community Manager, mentioned an upcoming alpha and progress seemed to be moving forward towards a product rapidly.

In this year they started showing more footage of whole rounds that looked more like actual gameplay, the game looked cohesive and very playable. There was concept art of backgrounds for the C-Store tileset, and killhouse assets being drawn up.

2018
2018 was a big year for the development blog, a lot of updates were covered by their new community manager who was able to regularly post. A large note was the gaining of the Publisher Annapurna to fund development. Having gone to Pax East and West this year, the game seemed to have changed tremendously between these two events. Going having a single tileset available, to officially announcing the C-Store killset and it's unique features, as well as the new Factory tileset, along with killhouse the game was rounded out enough that they were able to bring on a few more testers than the ones they had originally picked up from various venues as well as their internal development team. Many new weapons were teased.

2019
Being the current year, and the game still in development, this section is not yet complete. Still to note the biggest thing is the current availability of an alpha sign up form and regular testers being added, development continues full ahead.
