As the title says, MercStar's very own ARM32 made a mech based game... or rather a concept test platform. Here's his video showing off some of the features, some of them quite interesting!

UPDATES!



And yes, I know it's a 40 minute video and he's long-winded, but try to sit through it and think of the possibilities.

It makes me miss that Mektek game that played like Mechwarrior 2/3 with slightly updated graphics

A mech game developed by someone who actually plays mech games would be great!

Good luck to him.

Literally all I care about from that video is HTAL. I want HTAL in MW:O already. It would make my life so much easier since I'm colorblind and suck at gauging how damaged mechs are because of it.

Way to go MercStar looks good finally someone that understands mechs and warfare and the mechs are not made of paper and the mechs take a good amount of damage before they die.

Now if Russ and PGI could just understand this MWO would be a much better game.
Its no wonder new players to MWO do a couple of drops die in 30 seconds because there mech armor does not work and is to weak then uninstall the game the same day.

Good luck bro let me know if you get a full working server and client I will play your game just because its a lot like MechWarrior 2 was which was fun to play.

Kudos to him for making something like this. My biggest complaint is that I wouldn't be able to play that full screen on a monitor with the cockpit moving so much. I get there is motion, but that just seems excessive to me.

[AnTi90d]

It looks like a cross between Chromehounds and a Mechwarrior game.

I wish the guy luck with it.

Thanks =) Eh, yep, it's a sea of opportunitys, possibilitys and potentials... But. 1 - tools, 2 - team. 1 and 2 needs $... Other way, this test too ugly for kickstartering... Other way, i'll think about additional tests, small (coz of PC), so, maybe... Eh, i'll look on results, after them - i'll think about ways...

Yep, keep learning English... When i start playing MWO and CWI recruts me, it was more fun, about "Small Russian invasion" and "there is no Russian spy here", eh, good old times...

So, thanks, i dislike to promise anything, but, if or when, i'll get better PC - i'll dig deeper on tests, or also concept of something, whatever, we'll see how and where it can goes =) Also, MS still recruting =) MS TS - 67.23.26.161:8344 and u can find me there (if u want) =)
Thanks

Never promise anything to MWO players for it shall be held against you until the seventh generation.

Still not a problem, i can re-poke them, to buy a mechpack... =)

[Ace Selin]

Great job dude. !!!!!

[CtrlAltWheee]

That was cool. Fun seeing how he does non-converging weapons.

[Juodas Varnas]

But does it have Quadrupeds?!

Curent moment - no, also, again - it's a test. But, i already make lots stuff flexible enough, so, possibility of 3-20 legs mech - 100% =) Also, if i'll continue this project from test, to something real, i'm get in plans "NOT 2 legged mechs" already...

Meow meow, comrads =) And please, needs more info of camo setup - 90 views, 1 info point...

And this is the result of one persons effort on a barely capable machine. Get this man some interns and a better computer!

[Alistair Winter]

Happy to help. Bumping this thread for great justice.

I actually think an indie game like this could be loads of fun if you focus on keeping it simple and clean.

[William Mountbank]

This thread pleases me greatly!

[Random Carnage]

See the message on the inside of the gauss rifle arm "Nude girls -->" pointing to the muzzle

Reminds me of the Humvee meme with the .50 shield that says for free photo to "look here, smile, wait for flash".

[Nik Reaper]

Nice tech demo, if you make some wide nonspecific promises about developing this further there might be some that could donate some ca$h towards funds for a new PC.

Even if you don't see your self becoming a full time game developer, you could just see about making it a bit more pretty , add in a few more mechanics and make the thing open source.

With this as a good base there will probly be a number of devs who would try to build a bit and try to sell it on steam X) , at some point something good might crop up X) .
