And based on the thoughts from previous post that's how we see visual rework of the Spitter! Do you like its new look?

08/11/2023

We are thinking about current design of our Hermits and there is an idea to set them up with a signature look. Because they are characters, not just some sort of scrap. What do you think looking at these concepts?

19/10/2023

HUGE update on the Boss, it got new look, became angry and destructive. Yes, the destruction happens right in the middle of a match!

Check the comments to know the details and share your thoughts!

This time we tried to deliver tests for Android players via Google Play but we were waiting for the platform review for too long. We tired of waiting so we go with good old manual set up and we are ready to roll out our next version!

Time to blow dust off your Discord accounts and follow the updates!

27/07/2023

Ok, we have an update on the next round of closed playtests: while we were fixing bugs of pre-alpha V3, our optimisation squad made huge progress on their side. So to onboard more testers and give everyone better experience we decided to cancel the third round of pre-alpha tests and show you a significantly improved version instead.

Are you with us?

26/07/2023

Huh?

04/07/2023

Shooting range is back! It’s time to check your predictions on this weapon: https://www.facebook.com/stayKEK/posts/pfbid02t7aUF3X1DhfLuJPkiET1Q4Npi2sJaGQeQnsgnHQVRGYGgV5sWjSQr2dgKchw9wzNl. It’s the second one in the video.

What about tactical benefits, do you see any?

It’s been almost a year since we started to talk here in socials. Do you want to see our first concepts of the map you’re testing these days? Here they are.

Wondering why it’s a bit *kek* changed? Let us know in the comments!

And closer to weekend we will share our blog with some throwback and second-year plans! Don’t miss it!

26/04/2023

Damage effects, lot of improvements, even better looking map and return of the Spitter. Invite your friends and prepare for the next pre-alpha update.

What else have you noticed, folks?

19/04/2023

Remember this Hermit from our earliest posts (yes, we're talking to you, our old-school supporter)? It is coming as the 4th unit of the faction!
Its codename is Hank. Why it is called like that? Make a funny explanation and we will add your comment to the Story of our page!

17/04/2023

Ok, we must admit that you are the strongest community that pre-alpha stages ever had. 8 (!!) minutes of storytelling made by the guys from the POST clan with a voice-over support from 6 influencers to guess the narrative of TORN. We had a blast! Sound on is a must!

Stay tuned for their future releases and who knows, maybe you will be one of the heroes of this visual novel.

Welcome unknown traveler!This episode marks the beginning of a newP☢ST WARRI☢RS story in TORN.Can you understand the price of this new path? Don't worry, we ...

The deadliest weapon of the ongoing playtests.

For the purpose of the test, it’s a bit overpowered now so don’t lose your chance to have a try of this uber-damage Empyreal long-distance rifle. If you are ready to join, ping us in Messenger!

27/03/2023

Hundreds of players have participated in the Pre-Alpha version of Torn, shared their ideas and suggestions. Their feedback has already started shaping the game!
Want to participate in the creation of a game? We will be excited to see you among the testers!

An infinite-ammo machine gun of Empyreals — new faction coming in the next Alpha version.

Which type of unit would it work better on:

1. Brawler
2. Tank
3. Assassin
4. Scout
5. Support

08/03/2023

A new sketch, but this time - of the narrative side of our game. Look at the place, because this is where Hermits dwell!

01/03/2023

This scout class unit will make sure the Bastion HQ and our testers have the best intel from the battlefield!

24/02/2023

The pinnacle of biosynth technologies carrying a small army inside of it. The third hermit unit in your playtest hangar!

Let’s see what we got for you in the updated pre-alpha version of Torn.

There are a lot of things to notice, don’t be shy! Discuss!

Oh yeah, Founding Community Players, brace yourselves, the new version of Torn is coming!

24/01/2023

Something awesomely new in our unit list! It protects, it attacks, but most importantly it… (finish the sentence)

18/01/2023

THAT's the jumping guy from the previous post! How do you like this concept?

31/12/2022

Let’s celebrate the end of this year! See ya in the next one to explore more of Torn!

22/12/2022

We want to speak openly to our community even when we do mistakes. So, here is an update on our roadmap: the gameplay video was published in November, as promised. Thanks for your support and engagement, it was a blast!
On the other hand, it took more time than expected to set up our Pre-Alpha version. The tests for the Founding Community members started in December and our tests for the community were postponed until January.

Thank you for your patience, we will start inviting you to our test environment soon! React to this post so we would know you want to be the first to participate in the community playtests!

13/12/2022

We haven’t mentioned the third faction yet.. Fixed now! Please welcome its first unit

06/12/2022

In our latest video, have you seen this 4-legged mech that can put turrets anywhere you like and is generally a great looking fella?

How'd you utilize its turret ability? While you're sharing your thoughts in the comments, we will post more arts of it there!

Meet our lead game designer

Read his interview below, ask any questions you want, and he will answer! Also, you can follow him on Twitter https://twitter.com/polyskeletal, to see some exclusive stuff on his page regularly.

- Question 1: What projects were you working on?

- Mainly on War Robots, but there were many others. Most of them are unannounced yet so I can't tell much, but there’s a couple of AAA shooters. War robots has a special place in my heart since it was my first and biggest gig. If you played it - you have probably seen the content I worked on (from English pack, all the way to Korean!). Besides, I work on countless pet projects of mine which vary from games to gamified Twitch apps.

I worked my way up from making minor weapon tweaks and graphical flourishes to designing core gameplay and AI.

- Question 2: What are you doing in KEK?

- I’m a Lead Game Designer. I make sure that the in-game content people interact with is fun, engaging, and fair. There’s a lot that goes into it: movement configurations, balance, shooting mechanics, level design, and basically everything that you encounter in a match and beyond.

Thankfully, I'm not doing this on my own, we have a whole team of game designers who work hard to ensure that we make a game we can all enjoy.

- Question 3: What’s so special about the project of KEK?

- First of all, it's a completely new project and a lot of core ideas are not set in stone yet. That means we can change things without huge time sinks or risks and iterate on our gameplay much faster, which results in a more polished game overall. This makes us extremely flexible and allows us to respond to players feedback a lot quicker. And listening to our community, in my opinion, is what matters most for us. After all, we’re making this project for everyone to enjoy.

Projectwise - we are tired of the current state of slow tactical shooters and we want to bring something game changing, something that will set a new standard for this genre, and I believe we have what it takes.

We’re making a game we ourselves would be fans of and it’s a passion project that we make with tender love and care.

- Question 4: What is the next big thing you are working on?

- Right now we’re focused on developing a pre-pre-alpha version. It is a very tense milestone, because we’re creating a version that will prove our core concepts - faction gameplay, character roles and abilities, and level design.

On top of that, we are working hard on our artstyle, making all factions unique not only in terms of gameplay, but also visually, which can be pretty difficult since we have a sci-fi setting and we do not want it to be a cliche.

A gun that'd look perfectly on the bio-synth from our last post!

From a basic sketch to the concept. Now to the 3D models 💪
