Well the devs did say the trailer was "inspired by the awesome Halo Believe ad". Didn't Bulletstorm do something similar?
Very nice. Bought. This would be a fun one to see in VR. I'm a big fan of physics games like this.
They do mention DirectCompute, so maybe not?
"FLEX is written in C++/CUDA, but a DirectCompute version is in the works"
It all depends on how they do the licensing I guess.

On the Steam discussions, I suggested that a ballista would be a cool weapon to add. Turns out someone already built one

Ok guys, I got an extra key for BESIEGE for a special GAFer.
In order to win it, quote this post and give me your best concept in MS paint for a killing machine that also does the flower hedges properly. I'll pick my favorite if there's more than one entry and be back tomorrow to see who won.

Honourable mention to these walking tanks from the Lost Odyssey intro cutscene:

(No MS paint from me, I've already got a key)
This game is going to be the source of some amazing GIFs

Is it touchscreen friendly? Wouldn't mind playing this on the go with my tablet.

I was thinking the same thing. Game looks like it would play really well on iPad.

I am madly in love with this siege machine nonsensical mayhem.
"Crossbows and Catapults" you have gloriously arisen from the kitchen floor haze of my halcyon lost Saturdays.

Sorry, what does this mean?
Ok I have a little problem. I paid for both through Amazon pay, I got the confirmation that my card was charged through HumbleBundle. But I never got a link for the download or a code for the download of either yet? I thought I'd have it by now but I do not.
Does anyone know what I'm missing? Where do I get my codes?

I used Amazon and got an email with the subject "Your Besiege order is ready" from HumbleBundle which had the link to the download page. Maybe it's in your junk folder?
I do not have device with touchscreen except my ipad. I havent play it on touchscreen yet but I do not think it will be friendly with touchscreen.

Nope I got two e-mails that said "Humble Bundle has charged you $6.99" as a header.
Looks like this inside, both of them
Very frustrating I want to play this already and give out a free code to a GAFer
Yeah, that sucks - maybe the bank held it thinking it was a duplicate charge and you'll need to call them. I'd try the contact@humblebundle.com first I guess

Nice! Here's how I did that one:
Mwahaha
(video)
The tower zaps you if you get close and will zap the bomb if it has the chance. I managed to time it properly in this one.
I have my wheels set up with tread controls - separate keys for front and back on each side. (Numpad 1/4 for left, 5/2 for right)

Needs a pair of sweeper arms in front to clear corpses, though that probably means some kind of anchor device that would have to engage before it triggers...
I don't think this turned out the best but I saved it in PNG for max quality anyway. Simple concept - cutting blades on the front for the troops and a nice double column of spinning blades to trim the hedges and leave them perfectly straight.
And yes I know Paint has text tools.
whoops - didn't mean to DP it

This game is a blast! And it's more stable than most of late 2014's AAA games!

haha, lovely. I'm trying to sort out the key problem (read above), but if you're the only entry by tomorrow you'll have the code by default the second I resolve the issue with Humble Bundle.

Haven't used MS Paint in years, so my drawing skills are...ah, somewhat rusty. It looked much more elegant in my head
The main feature are the rotating arms at the front, each lined with saw blades, equally adept at shaving delicate blades of long unkept grass as they are at separating heads from the delicate necks of the fools that dare to charge your approaching death machine. The rotating arms allow for an adjustable cutting width, perfect for a lawn or battlefield of any size, whichever suits your home and gardening needs. Two cannons on the center cross beams provide long range protection while the sides are protected by more saw blades and outward facing flamethrowers to clear the unwanted weeds along fencelines, along with the fence. A pair of wheels in the back provide extra balance, to counter the weight of the cutting arms in the front

That this works at all, and yet does so in the most kamikaze and crazy way possible, is hilariously awesome.
Green is hedges. Hedge-cutters have an adjustable height. The rest should be pretty self-explanatory.
commendable, but I noticed a distinctive lack of a scorpion tail-mounted flamethrower
You might like mine then :commendable, but I noticed a distinctive lack of a scorpion tail-mounted flamethrower

this uh, thing is just scary
wish I could build machines of that size but the game becomes nearly unplayable on my laptop if I use too many parts
Scary was pretty much what I was going for. ^ ^this uh, thing is just scary

I think I have like 15 fps with that machine... I tried to, hum, upgrade it a bit... ( a catapult in the back, 2 more flame trower on the side.... what can I say, I like being prepared ) but I had 2-5fps when using the flammethrowers.

That looks awesome. Definitely going to give the Alpha a try at that price.

You guys all were great, obviously, but goddamn cluto. That is some epic MS Paint talent. I'm going to PM you the key.
Thanks for participating guys!
Nice! It doesn't lose the momentum that way. Try turning up the speed in the wheel settings if you haven't already.

I took a shot at it. Didn't quite get it, but it's entertaining at least.

It's surprisingly hard to make a good scoop that's arrow-proof due to the weight of the armour. Maybe some of the powered parts would work better there since those seem to be immune.
wow amazing I didn't even think about someone trying to copy these designs in game!
I'm going to try Orca's!
Good luck with that work of art.
