Give us a hardpoint in ass, mount a flamethrower.

Adds extra damage to 'death from above' attack as well.

I don't think that is how you get a 'mech to the moon...

 

[laclongquan]

Fearsome fiery fart!

 

[terile]

Love the visual style, reminiscent of a boardgame with terrain pieces. Added to watchlist.

Oh no, the development goes as fast as ever and we have more people helping now. We're just working on internal systems and that part doesn't lend itself too well to shiny screenshots and exciting progress reports. I apologize for the radio silence and I'm looking forward to breaking it this year once get some interesting work out of the way!

 

[Nirvash]

Are the mecha still the ugly as sin mechwarrior legos?

Burn the stupid western mech pride and just go full weaboo.

 

[Van-d-all]

Looks promising. While I can live with the lego/mobile app style graphics, it seriously needs too tone down the focus blur. It makes no sense at such tiny distances, and feels like watching the game through a looking glass the entire time.

Combat effects in the trailer are looking quite nice!

Looking forward to trying it out. Hope the non-combat stuff's going to be up to snuff as well.

Oh no you just didn't.

 

[Chippy]

Reminds me of ...what was it... Heavy Gear that the Mechwarrior 3 devs went to work on after MW3 - or was it MW2 devs?. Hope this is something better than the latest Battletech game.

 

[Drowed]

Oh, this looks nice. Why didn't I hear about this before?

 

[Jinn]

Oh, this looks nice. Why didn't I hear about this before?

Probably because it was in the Tactical subforum. You ever look there? There's a lot of good games to discuss there. Seems like a lot of people don't check the Tactical subforum.

The teaser is kinda meh, but now we know they're working with Brace Yourself Games, publishers of Crypt of the Necrodancer or Industries of Titan

CINEMATIC TURN-BASED MECH TACTICS

What does cinematic mean in this context?

 

[Ranarama]

Typically cinematic means it happens slowly. You are forced get to watch animations play out every turn. Because people love watching the same animations every turn of combat.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Having played a lot of games that use that style, it works out nicely if the game offers a huge variety of attacks and units so you're seeing a lot of different animations. It works out like shit if everything is the same.

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

I really do hope that they won't waste resources that could be better used on improving gameplay on cutscenes and other unnecessary crap.
Of course the fact that game is described as cinematic *spits* kills any hope of above mentioned stuff.
