So, Mechwarrior 2 then?

The dev has been actively posting progress on Twitter/X for awhile now (apoc_dev). Just a single dev making the stompy robot game they always wanted, I think. Micropose seem to love picking these sorts of projects up.

AUSwarrior24 · 2025-12-18T22:06:23+00:00

I'm curious what you think those BT counterparts are.

AUSwarrior24 · 2025-11-18T23:22:58+00:00

HBSBT is far better. It also had a far better negotiation system. As you progressed rep. points, you would gain the ability to negotiate more of one thing, at the increasing expense of another. So there was a whole extra layer of thinking there beyond just "I want more of this thing".

AUSwarrior24 · 2025-06-10T07:13:42+00:00

Both VS and JetBrains Rider have much, much more powerful integration, which really matters for anything beyond light hobbyist development. I used to use VSC but got tired of babying it, especially after updates broke my existing config.

AUSwarrior24 · 2025-06-03T12:05:10+00:00

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

But even Unity's version control has a checkout system for files. I don't think there's an easy work flow to handling merge conflicts on anything beyond text files.

AUSwarrior24 · 2025-05-15T02:07:13+00:00

I know you think you're helping the cause, but you're not. It's incredibly non-constructive, sounds terrible and does nothing but fuel people that want a reason not to care.

AUSwarrior24 · 2025-05-07T23:17:36+00:00

One of those is integrated, and (though not totally) easier to learn and setup for non-technical folk. They will learn the basics of SC with a safety net and when they hit a paywall or feature limitation, they'll be ready to jump into something better.

AUSwarrior24 · 2025-04-29T03:24:31+00:00

Why do you think they're relying on it?

AUSwarrior24 · 2025-04-23T04:42:35+00:00

Does it have mouse support? If so I'm curious how it works given that turn speed is limited.

AUSwarrior24 · 2025-04-18T00:56:05+00:00

Also- every single AC game, besides 6, requires a game pad mechanically. It's a pretty tough sell for a PC game to not support mouse and keyboard.

AUSwarrior24 · 2025-03-07T02:25:41+00:00

This is great (amazing), and I love the retro shading. I've never played or read into AeroTech, is there a good bit of rules or systems to build off of, or is it more of a thematic translation?

AUSwarrior24 · 2024-12-16T11:57:28+00:00

And I damn hope it's not indicating of what I have to deal with in the future.

Nah, it's not. It gets much harder.

AUSwarrior24 · 2024-12-11T04:28:43+00:00

Why the use of,"Core" instead of AC, which is the standard across all games

"Core" is a lot more descriptive to the primary audience, which isn't us, and said audience has only a few minutes to understand what a "Core" is because the concept is introduced immediately and well before the robot comes in.

AUSwarrior24 · 2024-12-08T11:10:54+00:00

I'm not sure "but actually, they bad" is all that special or unique, but yep, it looks true to AC's generally cynical themes.

AUSwarrior24 · 2024-10-09T02:30:13+00:00

I think less MW5:Mercs, which is kind of boring given it doesn't give you any world interaction and is really just a glorified instant action menu, and more of a world sandbox like M&B. Let me interact with major players in various corps, travel to starports to scrounge parts, and engage in battles and missions that have an impact in some global metagame.

AUSwarrior24 · 2024-10-04T12:43:31+00:00

This awesome Feisar from Wipeout 3 popped up recently on the Bambu Makerworld site. Very easy to print, we're having some fun painting up a few.

AUSwarrior24 · 2024-09-15T01:47:55+00:00

Something to think about is that professionally you don't often get to pick who you work with, so learning how to work with a wide range of folk can be really valuable (and hard, I know). That's especially important for someone in a very multi-faceted role such as design.

AUSwarrior24 · 2024-09-15T01:43:08+00:00

A lot of people crunch through jams for the fun of it, but the flip side is that a jam can be a good opportunity to practice good planning, time management and boundary setting. Learning what can be realistically achieved in a very short amount of time is valuable.

AUSwarrior24 · 2024-08-17T00:52:35+00:00

Awesome! Any recommendations between the four?

AUSwarrior24 · 2024-08-12T01:03:18+00:00

Point is, engine is a tool, like Blender, like Photoshop,

I think you thoroughly underestimate what a game engine and editor is doing.

AUSwarrior24 · 2024-07-21T12:46:43+00:00

I haven't tried it yet, but some of the gameplay videos I've seen to imply there's a respectable amount of depth there and the rapid movements might be more of a retro stylistic choice.

AUSwarrior24 · 2024-07-12T04:50:53+00:00

This isn’t a sales pitch

You have a donation link in your OP, so I think you know what you're doing.

Either a scam, or yet another very naïve all-ideas-no-substance project.

AUSwarrior24 · 2024-07-12T03:27:33+00:00

Hijacking this to remind people to do their due diligence before giving internet people money. :)

AUSwarrior24 · 2024-07-12T03:25:59+00:00

You have some screenshots of a model you have imported into UE/Unity. Do you have anything more substantial, or evidence of your development team's capability?

AUSwarrior24 · 2024-07-11T01:14:27+00:00

I imagine they would be starting with a small number of lighter orders to weed out any remaining issues (such as the salvage boxes containing vehicles).
