The ShootMania 4 All Recap!

Hello everyone,

Last month, the community, Nadeo, and Ubisoft, in partnership with SteelSeries, came together to celebrate a very special event: the release of ShootMania Storm with the “ShootMania4All” Launch Party.SM_-_SM4ALL_recap_-_slide

For the entire day, thousands of people from all around the world came together to discover and play ShootMania – online or in person, from North America, Europe, Australia and many places inbetween.

Players created a fun and friendly ambiance, sporting the ShootMania colors alongside other awesome swag the received, including t-shirts, mugs, and the limited edition ShootMania collector mousepads.

Fans unable to attend one of the live events still had a chance to participate in the fun, joining the FragDolls and O’GamingTV for their livestreams. They put together an awesome show, which you can watch [or rewatch!] here:

Finally, for those who prefered to simply play the game, special online servers were configured specifically for this event. These servers featured some of the most popular community-generated game modes, and allowed everyone to participate in the party [and even meet members of the Nadeo crew!

We leave with this small re-cap video of the event, and our thanks once again to our fans and players for helping us with organizing and participating in the launch of ShootMania Storm. It was really awesome.

It was a great ManiaGala!

A new tool ingame for ShootMania: 3D models!

Greetings all!

With the release of ShootMania Storm in just a couple of weeks time (April 10), Nadeo has announced exciting new tools that will open the game even more, enhancing its creative possibilities. The first of these features will allow players to import skins including 3D characters, animations and sounds into ShootMania Storm. To show players what is possible, Nadeo have partnered with Ubisoft’s Shanghai Studio to create the special Susu skin that is now available for players. Players can download the skin for free, directly within the game. Please find an image of the skin here:

Susu 3D Model

“This is just be the tip of the iceberg, we have a lot of great features planned for the weeks after the release of the game. We will open the game and our creative tools further to the community,”  says Florent Castelnerac, Managing Director at Nadeo.

Nadeo is also very happy to announce that they are working on the Steam Workshop integration for ShootMania Storm, TrackMania² Canyon and TrackMania² Stadium. Players will therefore soon be able to share their creations via the Steam Workshop, just like they already do in game and through community sites.

The open beta versions of ShootMania Storm and TrackMania² Stadium are still available for free at www.maniaplanet.com/download or on Steam at http://store.steampowered.com/freestuff/demos/. Sharing content is only available for players who purchased the game and won’t be possible for those who currently test the game for free in the Open Beta. The 3D model will download but will not be available in your profile.

Check your notifications ingame, or type “maniaplanet-store” in the maniaplanet browser. After dowloading the new model example, you have to restart the game to see it in your profile.
