In-game event9 Jan 2022Major Game Bug Fixes and New ContentAfter getting some really great feedback from the community we made some changes to the singleplayer missions. We needed to make it easier for players to locate the mission goals, so we added a couple of new HUD indicators: Then we went through each mission, goal by goal, and made it easier to complete. Its our first attempt at single player missions and until we got some feedback we had no ide…
In this revision, we fixed alot of bugs and replaced the beginning to mission 1. The invert mouse bug has been resolved and the aim/steer sensitivity has be increased. The beginning of mission 1: Emze Mine has be modified significantly. When starting the mission, the player now just has to get into the Bayonet and drive to the geyser. We took out the trip in the Hopper because it was taking too…

Tutorial Number 1 of Many. Were going to start with the basics in this tutorial: How to Build and Deploy a Pump. The Pump is a deployed Collector. Its job is to suck bioore out of geysers and send it back to the refinery. At the refinery the bioore is processed into usable Bionite. Bionite is the main resource in the game. WIthout it Commanders can not build and well, that pretty much it. In th…

Set on the planets of Venus and Mars, the demo missions include trainers for learning the command system (used in the multiplayer version). They also introduce the backstory about what Bionite and Spectralite are and how to use them in t…
After 10 years of work.......... We finally got the full version of strategy FPS/RTS posted for the public!!! We had no idea that it would take this long to complete. Making games using the Unreal engine is almost impossible, and this game is 100x more complex than most. There is so much in the game it would be impossible to explain here. This release is the first Beta of Bionite. It has all bu…
Sorry about the delay updating the game, but we had alot of work to do and even more testing. By the end of this month we will have a major overhaul posted with more bug fixes than i can list and a new map. We have spent hundreds of hours getting this new update done. Some of the improvements: No more fixed camera, we moved it to a rotating one that is much smoother and easier to aim. Better Ve…

The update released yesterday has this new menu for starting the game. When launching, start with the planet that the mission is located on, then select the mission from the menu. Make sure your sound is working (and if you have a subwoofer, crank it up) so you can hear the new main theme track.
We posted an updated today with several bug fixes, clarification on the tool tips, and the new Main Menu (with new music theme). We are currently overhauling the RTS system in preparation for Full Release. A preview of some of the new RTS features, such as the new Bunker model, are in this update. We had some requests for clarification on the Tool Tips, which we did make. The Hunter Mission to…

We are revising the manual now, its taking some time (damn thing is near 50 pages!). Check our store page under Quick Ref for WingCard Rev 15. It is also available on our website under the 'How to Play' section. If you are new to Bionite and havnt played…
We finally did it.......the first singleplayer mission for Bionite:Origins. It took a year to get this update ready for release. This release is so crazy with new stuff, i cant even begin to describe it (or it would take many pages). Lets just say we finished the game code core, fixed hella bugs, added several features, and included the beginning of the backstory of Bionite. One major feature w…
We FINALLY posted a new revision! Sorry about the wait, but we had to do ton of bug testing to get that darn Constructor to work exactly they way we want it to. We got a lot of community feedback once we posted the game on Steam. The number one request was to make the Constructor easier to use. However, once we switched the ordering system to be closer to the BZ-style command structure, things…
Got a new Game Play video using ShadowPlay. This one is of the Hadley's Hope mission on the Moon. It features the Lynx Tank. The Lynx is a Heavy Vehicle equipped with and EMP cannon. It can be upgraded using the Armory to add a dual gun:

The no executable problem and the reinstall problem we were having as a result of not have the game configured correctly are fixed. If anyone was having a problem launching the game or was frustrated by having to reinstall the game e…
I just posted a new revision to Steam. This revision has the executable "BIONITE2C". This has a fix for the reinstall problem we have been having with Steam. EVERYONE Please get this new revision after uninstalling your old revision and clearing your appcache on Steam. The problem we had to fix had to do with the Unsetup.exe program that manages the EULA and updates the registry. UDK has no wor…
