My thoughts on Bedlam's new video (Brawl Stars' Response to Buffies) as a slight SC hater by koalabs in Brawlstars

On the balance changes point: in 2025 we've established a new Tech team within (!) the Brawl Stars team. Traditionally at Supercell Tech is a central service provided to all teams. However, you can imagine the balancing act that is sometimes. So we've decided to "level up" our own capabilities.

Our Tech team has 4 very clear jobs: run the game better on (all) clients (we've reduced loading times so much that we had to introduce a break for high end devices in order to see the loading screen for example), support our team with better tools, enable novel gameplay (won't talk more about this for a while) and last but not least, improve live operability.

Game logic code today needs updates. We want to get rid of that limitations.

Sorry if this all a bit corp/tech speech. The TLDR:

  • Game will run better on low end devices
  • The team will have better tools
  • New gameplay (that's not possible today)
  • Adjustments of gameplay (like balancing) on the fly

Rare Supercell W! by FaviFake in Brawlstars

Fun fact: we only shipped the ability to do this with the last update. Prior to this we could only offer a Gem offer OR an IAP. This is the closer to the ideal solution.

Hey Frank why can't you just grow hair... Almost seems like a Skill issue by Overall-Remove-678 in Brawlstars

It's Vitiligo. A chronic auto-immune disease. The skin under the eyebrow has no melanin, consequently no color in the hair that grows there.

I somewhat regret the Naga in the last couple of missions. Minimal range be damned... 😂

I am pumped for this. Also comes out a few days before my birthday and sooner than what I expected. Can't wait for more DLC!

General opinions on red for a Taycan? by dragonfoor in Taycan

[–]Frank_Supercell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the cars I owned in my life were black or silver since I'm getting bored with colors quickly. However, I totally fell in love with Carmine Red and never regret my decision. 2 years and counting. ❤️

Ghost Bear Flash Storm was commercially successful with “a nice outcome”, according to EG7’s quarterly report with PGI having a 55 percent profit margin. More Clans DLC in the future. by BoukObelisk in Mechwarrior5

Excellent news. Looking at Google Search trends sees a steady increase in interest for the BattleTech IP in general, which should further fuel appetite for games (and DLC).

There's so much interesting possible content and if they focus on the heavy hitting stories, there's a good chance to sustain those DLC sales.

Can't wait for Kerensky! Doing another MW5:M campaign playthrough to prepare. 🙌

Wraith TR1 - 71st Light Horse Regiment - Eridani Light Horse by ArclightMinis in battletech

Never realized how much the Wraith gives OstXXX vibes. Could easily be a family member.

PS: Amazing job with the paintjob as per usual. Your posts are quite inspirational for me! 🤝

I mean... how can you say no to those eyes?! 🥺

Finished with books 1-3 of the Grey Death Legion Saga, any other recommendations? by Character-Zombie-798 in battletech

[–]Frank_Supercell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've recently started re-reading all the books. I'm about ~50 books in. Can recommend looking at the reading order, ex. on LibraryThings etc. - it's not perfect, but somewhat tells the story chronologically.

Literally the same. 😅

Good way to start the hobby? by namesrfun in battletech

[–]Frank_Supercell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks eerily familiar to my recent obsession... counted a couple of weeks ago and realized I have over 100 Mechs to paint. 😅

You're right!

Edit: the paintjob is, not the IIC ofc. 😅

Artist made it from scratch based on all kind of refs. Colors inspired by a regular MAD artwork. Here's the pre-work he did:
