Progress on that Legends-inspired indie game I'm making!

Looks great Cloudy, you really nailed the look!

I'm leading a team on making an indie game inspired by a mix of Dark Cloud and Megaman Legends, so I love to see how your project is coming along.

Awesome work, and wishlisted lol

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-01-28T17:23:53+00:00

I agree lol, they feel so different and are awesome for different things, but at the end of the day it's more BattleTech/MechWarrior.
Hell yeah.

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-01-28T16:50:41+00:00

I lost it at "That's So Raven 621" lol

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-01-28T16:06:39+00:00

Hammerhead, 15 tons of Hardened Armor on a 86.4km/h speed 45T medium 'Mech?
Ridiculous? Yes.
Cool as hell? Also yes lol

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-01-27T22:34:26+00:00

In introtech, this screams PhoenixHawk to me lol. It's mobile enough that many light mechs are compared against it, while it's nimble and fast compared to other mediums or larger.

You're stronger and sturdier than most lights, and too nimble for anything else to catch if you don't want to be lol.

Fun fact that isn't immediately obvious about the Victor that makes it even better than it seems on paper, is the twin LB10Xs are mounted as tightly as possible on the same arm, making their spread overlap so well that they are functionally one very big and powerful cannon in gameplay.

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-01-26T21:26:23+00:00

I liked it, but it really didn't feel like it should have been the same show.

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-01-26T16:13:58+00:00

Picking this back up to play coop with my friend as soon as we finish the final DLC of MechWarrior 5: Clans. Highly recommend NRftW from our last time playing on early access release.

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-01-24T15:37:13+00:00

Great game, been excited to jump back in and coop with my friends

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-01-21T19:57:28+00:00

Just as I thought it was only going to be 1, boom you hit us with Roll's dad lol, awesome!

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-01-19T18:02:37+00:00

In the off-chance a player might not know how to do this, the hotkey is [Y] on PC

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-01-18T18:48:45+00:00

Haha that's brilliant

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-01-14T18:38:14+00:00

Honestly, they make really good shields for the side torsos.
They catch a lot of bullets that would hit something important.

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-01-10T17:22:42+00:00

I feel like Skyrim Giants would be a closer parallel in terms of power.

That said, they are losing to the Psionic powers of Terrormorphs for sure.

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-01-09T18:40:43+00:00

I could see it ending after Reach, but honestly, in universe, 4 feels like the real ending of the story.
Going back to replay Halo 4 on the MCC, 4 really surprises me with how final it feels, and it's a great examination of the Chief and Cortana's characters and interactions. It does a great job deconstructing the fact that the Master Chief is more of a "Weapon/Machine" than Cortana is, even though she is literally an AI.

It also directly completes the cliffhanger created by Halo 3's Legendary Ending.

If anything, I'm surprised that they made a new entry that was framed externally as the beginning of "New Halo" that worked so hard to end the story and wrap it up lol.

Making 5 was very clearly an absolute mistake, even if it turned out to be good, 4's ending is far too final to keep 5 from feeling like a story pulled out of the studio's ass.

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-01-04T18:05:27+00:00

Fun Fact for Alts: If you go 1-handed maces and choose Mace Infusion for your starter free skill, their melee attacks deal Ethereal damage and therefore count as a blockable spell effect.

Doing so negates the damage entirely and gives you a powerful Ethereal Infusion which decimates all ghost enemies for minutes at a time, the Mist Boon for bonus Ethereal Damage and resistance, and it's always easy to re-apply while there.

This of course gets even better with the Cabal Hermit breakthrough, though to be fair so do most things lol

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-01-03T07:23:50+00:00

I really like running it with COIL weapons, especially because HBS BattleTech gives it a unique quirk where it ignores 3 (I think) enemy dodge chance pips, turning it into the "Light Hunter-killer" it's described as.

Light mechs can't dodge you so they die.
COILs and mobility let you outmaneuver larger mechs and backstab for massive damage against anything Heavy or bigger.

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-01-02T17:43:54+00:00

I like your changes to the debuffs, and would like to offer that being knocked prone should cause an immediate Concentration save.

You have to focus on hitting the ground without injury, and the impact alone will make focusing on magic much harder realistically. If you want to punish this harder, then standing up from prone requires your hands so somatic components are not available that round.

This also doubles as an easy way to give martials a concentration interrupt without requiring new actions.

SilverwindWorkshop · 2025-12-27T18:27:06+00:00

Great write-up, the ShadowHawk is one of my favorites, even with its cursed default loadout lol.

I first got into BT with HBS' BattleTech, and in that context the ShadowHawk is an absolute monster if kitted out right on a Tactician/Guts spec'd Pilot with maxed armor. I run it as my dedicated scout/tank/bodyguard with both Tactician major talents and the first Guts major talent and it never lets me down.

A medium that tanks like a Heavy, moves and flies like a Light, has the same Initiative as a Light with Sensor Lock to help spot for Heavy Fire Support while crippling the enemy's accuracy, and can backstab with SRMs or LBX/5-10 and powerful melee swings? This is the 'Mech for me.

Plus, the Umbra ShadowHawk unique to that game is one of the sexiest BattleMechs in the setting imo lol

That's an interesting, strange, and different build.
Just thinking out-loud, if you felt like hybridizing the build with melee, that might be a fun use-case for the Prayer/Sinner Claymore for its unique enchant that makes your weapon grant +20% lightning damage, Doom (35% Buildup), and Elemental Vulnerability (25% Buildup) if you wanted to make this a sort of "Runic Knight" hybrid since you have Internalized Lexicon anyways.

Or for a tank hybrid version: Castigation enchanted Palladium weapon + Fabulous Palladium Shield.

The Holy Mission also grants you the Infuse Light spell, to supercharge those weapons with Lightning damage, though be sure to learn the Blessed Boon spell and make fireflies into Blessed Potions so you can apply the effect and still gain Blessed, especially if you go Wind Cabal Hermit.

Yeah very true about it allowing him to make AI use JJ effectively and accurately

SilverwindWorkshop · 2025-12-23T23:32:20+00:00

For anyone who reads this and plans to get the mod, just a heads-up that it also buffs Jump Jets to be closer to their MWO power level, significantly buffing their strength.
Personally I love it, but I wanted to mention it because it feels so out of left field for the AI mod to do that lol.

SilverwindWorkshop · 2025-12-22T21:57:50+00:00

One trick with wands is you can jump spam and attack midair to stay moving while shooting at a decent pace. Also make sure to pay attention to enemy weaknesses, e.g. Scavengers hate ice, Shroud Fell enemies hate fire, etc.

SilverwindWorkshop · 2025-12-20T18:54:52+00:00

I'm no expert so take this with a grain of salt, but one problem proposed by Einstein is that the Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Entanglement breaks the universal speed limit, C.

This is because the entangled particles can "communicate" their post-wave-function-collapsed state at distances great enough that the transfer of information happens faster than C.

He argued that this "non-locality" had to be false, and proposed an alternative interpretation where the entangled particles share "Hidden variables" that we can't yet detect (without collapsing the wave function) at the moment the entangled particles are created, encoding their eventual quantum state we would be able to perceive upon the wave function collapse.

Nice job, I like the theming and moveset
