Dev Snapshot: Clonk Extreme

by Matthes Bender · 01/21/2009 (5:12 am) · 25 comments

Clonk Extreme is a fast paced online multiplayer title developed using the TGE. It features tactical team battles and deathmatches in various scenarios.

Being in fact a GG member of the first hour, I started developing this game way back when in 2001 and continued working on it as a side project ever since.

Having put together an updated set of screenshots and in-game footage induced me to share this with the GG community.

Partly, the project can be considered a proof-of-concept on whether it is possible to convey the fun and hectic gameplay of its classic 2D predecessor into 3D.

All videos are available in full HD - click on the video to be forwarded to YouTube and select "watch in HD" there.


CTF Sky High: Tactical capture-the-flag for two to three teams. Heavy focus on blimp and glider.


DM Rising: A straight forward fiery deathmatch. Take out your opponents and reach the top before the lava rises.

And another one would be but GG's YouTube tag doesn't seem to like the dash in the YT video id. Use this url instead.

DM Hoppers: Catch the butterfly. With added deathmatch component.

..or fly. (Check out the catapult launches!)

This is one of the better concepts I have seen in a while as far as game play.
Very innovative.

The islands in the sky and the windmills remind me of something...

Very fresh off the beaten path kind of feel. Looks like it'd be fun to play. This is one to watch to see how it pans out.

This is one of the few Torque games that really stands out. The gameplay looks incredibly fun and watching the video just makes you want to play it. I was actually hoping to see a download link somewhere at the bottom. Great job!

Nice timing! I JUST played Clonk Rage a day or two ago and LOVED the gameplay but after seeing Clonk Extreme I was disappointed that the new version wasn't yet available.

I'm HIGHLY anticipating this game!

You got a great game there. This one is a winner, no less.
