Plastic

You're a plastic soldier battling on 5 acres of backyard. Fight on foot, crew tanks, fly helicopters, and command bots in a combined-arms shooter.

Hey everyone,

I've been trying to avoid spamming everyone with minor updates, and life got in the way for a while. I never stopped working though, and I've made great progress over the last year. Enough that you're going to see a lot more in the next few months.

Quick dev update: I’ve been hard at work on plastic, and have gotten an enormous amount of work done over the last 6 months. I’ll release a trailer this summer with gameplay footage. Thank you for supporting the game thus far, and bearing with me!

@SeanSedlacek93 I can't say for sure just yet. In the YouTube video I made a while back I talked about having some unknowns in development (networking, and ai) which is why I didn't crowd fund. Those are still hurdles for me right now. Networking makes everything in a game more complicated

I've spent time carefully reworking every asset in Plastic in order for it to look better in Unreal Engine 5, and to run better than before. #plasticthegame #screenshotsaturday #UnrealEngine5

Plastic is still happening! I've been insanely busy since I last posted, but some great progress has been made. Details coming soon

@AndersHyrule Progress has slowed a little because of my schedule, but I work on it every chance I get. I got the battleship up and running so that when it rains, the creek floods, it sails in, and fires at you from across the map.

Our instructor pilots use this toy to explain maneuvers at the table before we fly. So naturally I had to put it in the game. #plasticthegame #unrealengine #screenshotsaturday

@YourHostEdge PC initially, and consoles later on if it's successful enough that I can bring people on to help me.

Testing out the new and improved flight model. I made the physics more realistic, as well as made optimizations. #plasticthegame #UnrealEngine #indiegaming #gaming

[Plastic @PlasticArmyGame]

@kernalpleasures @PCGamesN Hopefully! Although that may be too much for one person to do. One way I’m hoping could work, is that it catches the interest of an established studio; it could get done sooner with more features, and a wider release. For now all I can do is work hard on it.

Shout out to PCGamesn for their article on Plastic. We had some good discussion on design choices and overall direction! https://t.co/21rmOOwxYP via @pcgamesn

[Plastic @PlasticArmyGame]

@American_Pixel @MudflapOfficial lol pretty much! I'll get it out to you as soon as I can.

[Plastic @PlasticArmyGame]

@JoThePro10 I can’t say for sure. I work on the game every chance I get, and I’m learning a lot. But it is a lot for one person to do.

[Plastic @PlasticArmyGame]

Added missile pods and miniguns #plasticthegame #UnrealEngine #indiegaming #gaming

[Plastic @PlasticArmyGame]

@JoThePro10 Thanks! There are so many more things I want to add. It will just take time. I will probably need to save some stuff for updates after release.

[Plastic @PlasticArmyGame]

@JoThePro10 Yeah! Bugs and some other toys like dinosaurs and toy sharks

[Plastic @PlasticArmyGame]

@FruitMelody Pc for sure, consoles later on if I can hire some people to help. Maybe a simultaneous release if It gets picked up by a studio.

[Plastic @PlasticArmyGame]

@BotanyofPickles There's something sort of like that already planned. The ants and dinosaurs and other factions will occasionally fight each other.

[Plastic @PlasticArmyGame]

I like the black, but it would be confusing if both your team and the enemy had identical looking aircraft. What do you think?
