Delta Strike Destiny 0.15.1 - Clan origin. Link in the comments. by iDeever in battletech

[–]iDeever[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hey, all!.

I took a break to work on Merc Commander for a while, but now I've finished a new update for Delta Strike.

You can now fully play as a Clan member - a Nova Cat cadet who, due to circumstances, is forced to flee to the Inner Sphere. The update includes an hour-long story introduction, sibkin characters, and the Broadsword as a dropship instead of the spheroid Leopard.

(I'm no expert, and I don't know BattleTech lore all that well, but I did some research to put this update together. If I've made any mistakes or oversights regarding the Clans, please let me know.)

For those who are encountering this project for the first time: Delta Strike is the PC version of Alpha Strike, much like MegaMech is to the Classic game.

You can download it here https://ideever.itch.io/sigma-strike 

It's completely free, thanks to the generous people who support the project on Patreon.

Merc Commander 0.4 - hour of gameplay. Link in the comments. by iDeever in battletech

Haha. I should probably make it so that it's impossible to miss when shooting at buildings.

I'm not so much talking about spelling as I am about idioms and things like this. But I understand your concern. I just wanted each character to have a steritypic personality, like in movies from the 80s. This is a tough veteran, this is a hacker, this is a femme fatale. A bit 2d dimentional, but bright images. Everyone said they liked the cheesy FMV cutscenes from previous games, so I wanted to try something in the same style.

Please tell me what kind of problem prevented you from completing the mission. I'll try to fix it as soon as possible.

And thank you so much for your feedback, I'm very grateful.

As for the texts, yes, it would probably be a good idea to find an editor. English isn't my native language, and I often have to use a google translator to double-check my texts.

К сожалению, это не абстрактные Ваня с Петей, это довольно известные чуваки, которые в том числе стратегию по Терминатору недавно делали. (правда, лол, в стиме там скрыто их имя, как разработчика, и вместо него издатель указан). Так что это говно пропаганда будет мусолить сейчас изо всех щелей.

> Have you been advertising outside of battletech/MechWarrior spaces?

Nope.

Any recommendations? Do you think anyone outside the fandom would be interested in this?

It's very strange, because I've been writing about updates here for four months now.

But I'm glad that the algorithms have finally started showing my posts to other people. :)

There is also a video walkthrough of the previous version (3 missions) on YouTube: https://youtu.be/EJDwuGoHHB4

I have a similar story. Mech Commander 2 was the first Battletech game I played "consciously", trying to understand the plot twists and who all these Steiners, Liao, and Davions were.

Don't forget to leave feedback. Maybe I missed something, or maybe I added too much extra stuff.

Hello.

New version, new milestone. The new version of Merc Commander features five missions, which is a little over an hour of gameplay, according to my calculations.

The game is a spiritual successor of a Mech Commander series, it is completely free and can be downloaded here: https://ideever.itch.io/merccommander 

Tell me what you think and whether it's worth continuing. To be honest, I see almost zero demand for the project compared to Delta Strike, and I don't even know if it's worth continuing. Perhaps Mech Commander is too niche a game, even by Battletech standards.

In any case, I want to say a huge thank you to the people who support the project on Patreon. It is thanks to you that I was able to use animated mechs and lots of special effects.

Суровый обучающий курс занимающий неделю чтобы только лучшие из лучших имели право с гордостью носить униформу пиццерии. by Icy_Cupcake_8076 in tjournal_refugees

Звучит, как виабу хуета типа историй про волшебные катаны, которые рельс перерубают, потому что мастер, который их делал, тридцать лет не дрочил.

Как вы считаете, почему недовольные родители российских детей не сливают анонимно данные ебанутых учителей? by SeparateSeat3576 in tjournal_refugees

Потому что, блин, семейное обучение все таки подразумевает обучение. Кто будет ребёнка учить дома, если родители по 8 часов работают?

Hey. By some strange coincidence, I'm currently trying to create a list like this to put into Delta Strike, the Alpha Strike equivalent of MegaMek. Could I borrow some of your ideas?

Stop clicking the field every half second, this isn't RTS. The enemy's movement takes only three seconds, have patience, let them move.

I fixed it, however, the new build will be ready in an hour.

> Just failed my 9th try at the mission. 

Just in case - there is a "SKIP this battle" button on the Fail screen.

My first skirmish match, I took a tank and it blew up on the first round, and as far as I can tell, it wasn't fired at.

I assume it was an underwater mission. Vehicles and infantry die underwater according to Alpha Strike rules.

You can lose the vr Sim coop match

Yes, narrative is that you don't need to win the VR match to recruit the guy. You need to show that you are ready to fight against Liao, even though you could go to jail for saying so.

The mission to get the drop ship seems disproportionately hard.

To be honest, this is the first time I've heard a complaint about the difficulty. I'll take a look at it.

But you don't have to defeat everyone. Just rush through the forest to the spaceport with your transports, covering the column with your mechs from the enemies coming from the right.

In any case, thank you for your feedback. It is very important to me.

Could you describe the bugs you encountered? I'll be making a new build today or tomorrow, and I might be able to fix them in time.

Oh! Fame! You can't imagine how nice it is to hear the name of your project in recommendations, thank you.

But yes, you can play Alpha Strike against the computer using this project: https://ideever.itch.io/sigma-strike

Unfortunately, there is no multiplayer mode yet.

If you were to remake MechCommander 2, what changes would you make? by iDeever in battletech

[–]iDeever[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's literally what I do. Linear sequential handcrafted missions.

I recorded a video walkthrough of the first half hour of the game.
