Wow, that's a lot of hard and detailed work for something that we will gleefully destroy in a matter of minutes

Seriously though, thanks for bringing us that glimpse into what it takes to get just a single 'mech into the game. While I'm sure it won't stop the cries of "why don't we get new 'mechs every week", perhaps it will stem the tide a bit.

Nice going guys, another thumbs up for you.

One question - in regards to the damage section of the article. I never see any of that stuff Is my computer not good enough to see it, or has it not been implemented yet? Whenever a mech dies or is shot, it looks the same as before - minus the obvious glowing.

Very interesting! Should be great publicity for the game!

The in-game founders Catapult looks a bit worse I think.

Thanks for putting this one up. Really educating and enjoyable (the cockpit looks so safe, like home).

i was looking at the announcements forums like, Garth Erlam must be slipping cause he didn't announce this one.

guess i don't have to worry.

That is a very cool read. I learned a few things.

Thanks for taking the time to share with us all.

Great read looking at the 3d have you guys thought about somewhere down the road selling models of the mechs in the game? I dont think it would be worth doing what figureprints does for war craft char and other games but a in game mech model with a base with the players tag on it might be interesting.....or maybe you could work with Figureprints.

This interview singlehandedly did for me what months of developer interviews and background concept sketches on the MWO site didn't. This showed the process, step by step, and took us through the intricacies and difficulties of bringing just one of these things to life.

Bravo, this makes my respect for the devs and my fascination with the game jump up a few notches.

Argh can't read it on my network @ work. . .can't wait to get home now!!!

I'd be interested in a book with the art development of the game based on what we've seen so far.

The amount of work you guys put into that PA Report article convinced me to buy a founders package- you guys are awesome and the work you're doing is something I'm honored to be able to support.

[SuomiWarder]

Cool. But when will we see you on some of the G4 shows? LIke X-play, Attack of the Show, etc. (Send them press releases darn it !)

Nice, thanks Bryan!

Congratulations I enjoyed reading it. Also, the entire design looks like a lot of fun.

[SnowWolf25]

Cool

Will 'damaged components' like the ones shown be implemented in the game? So far it looks like parts just blow off; they don't get 'damaged.' But if they did, that'd be a great detail that would add a lot to the immersion.

Those comments were right; publish a coffee table book... and make T-shirts and pullovers(Hoodies...stupid name)... and baseball shirts with those house icons on them.

Pretty cool
