Quick update, Remodeling the hangar to be more utilitarian and cozy with a two story HQ, housing a command room, bathroom, showers, and storage We're gonna be in the boonies, and we will be able to go outside soon #mecha #mech #simulator #blender #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #screenshotsaturday

This demanding 9-5 is killing me, I'm doing everything I can to allocate time for development daily, but it's really getting to me that I can't sink all of my time into this project. Once more milestones are out of the way I might research funding to some extent. I need to figure this out.

Quick update, Added new mob "SHAMSHIR", an armored car with dual AA guns. Drafting some designs for new frame parts, weapons, and map props. There's a lot to do in the current pipeline ૮(𖦹﹏𖦹;)ა #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #gamedevelopment

Good evening, Importing and testing a new armored car mob, it was a lot of fun experimenting and modeling this asset I'll be focusing on more parts afterwards and trying to crunch some more structures for the map #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #blender #gamedev #vehicle #simulator #gamedevelopment

Hello, Uploaded a video showing the existing gear modes (including the latest "skate" feature) and some mechanics in the test zone. Shout out to @xxstrawberrybluexx.bsky.social who is assisting me with the OST! #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #gamedevelopment

#screenshotsaturday #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev Started setting up key features for a detailed grid map. Indications for structures/mob spawners and player tracking. This will be used to place down markers and utilize support options later.

Quick update, New multi-rocket mob "BEARCAT" added. I would like to upload a video this weekend showing the new mechanics and a general rundown of the existing features. Any questions are welcome. #mech #mecha #simulator #godot #vehicle #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #gamedevelopment

Quick update, Added burning scrap piles with high rising smoke for destroyed mobs that we can see over a distance, will look great over tree lines and terrain. Tell me what you love about mecha. #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedevelopment

Quick update, Testing zone cosmetic adjustments for a proper simulation vibe. Watching the mobs scoot around non-hostile feels like being at an aquarium, except you can't touch the stingrays. #mecha #mech #simulator #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #godot #gamedev #gamedevelopment

Mech drifting is sick. We're still grounded in terms of speed as this is indeed a simulator, but sliding around cover and corners is crazy fun in this new frame set. Feels great in first person too ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧ #screenshotsaturday #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev

Happy #screenshotsaturday #mechamarch Importing a new frame set - "DINGO", which will serve as a good reference point for speed moving forward. Mechanics will be shown off soon, ideally this weekend. #mecha #mech #simulator #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #blender #gamedevelopment #godot

Quick update, Improved mob behaviors - more aggressive and accurate. Flying is still the "safest" (yet most expensive) way to maneuver around. Creating another frame set before focusing on map mechanics. #mecha #mech #simulator #indiegame #indiedev #godot #solodev #gamedev #gamedevelopment

Added more tree variety with random density population values. Picking on a SAM trailer mob that can't fire unless we're up in the air by a good margin. New frame set parts this weekend. #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #indiegame #gamedevelopment #procedural

Quick update, I'm in love with this project, vehicle mobs are acting great, revising prop generation for the map - better performance. LEGACY frames are still fun, new assets, features, and mechanics to come. #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #gamedev #solodev #indiegame #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Quick look at a new mob prior to the retro shaders/filters being applied in-engine. Looking forward to testing this out today. #screenshotsaturday #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #blender #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #combat #vehicle #gamedevelopment #3dmodeling

Happy Friday, Importing new mobs this weekend, these new enemies will be more precise and threatening. Mech style mobs will be farther down the line but are absolutely planned - I have so many ideas. #mecha #mech #simulator #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #blender #gamedevelopment

Quick look at a new enemy mob. Setting up vehicles that will give our mech a harder time both in the air and on the ground, so we'll have to tread more lightly. #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #blender #gamedev #gamedevelopment

Added some more useful data to the UI. New mobs are planned for this week, then more HTAF parts. #mecha #mech #simulator #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedevelopment #godot

Mob spawners work great, importing another structure before getting back to other assets. Since the "LEGACY" leg parts do not have the ability to skate, I'll add a tuner bonus when equipped, once that has been added for balance. #mecha #mech #simulator #indiedev #solodev #indiegame #gamedev #godot

Modeling additional structure assets to serve as points of interest - these also function as mob spawners. Mob vehicles are performing great on the map and there will be more enemy variety soon. #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #simulator #blender #gamedev #gamedevelopment

Quick update, We can now extend our rollers and skate around, there's some drift behavior too which is really satisfying. I'll upload some clips soon. Focusing on more mob related features this week. #mecha #mech #simulator #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #godot #gamedevelopment

Late post, Setting up the mobility for the HTAFs to skate around. The (newer) legs will have built-in rollers moving forward, designs will vary for the track layouts. Changing gears and finishing things up __φ(．．) #mecha #mech #simulator #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #godot

Quick look at the first "TYPE-II" HTAF frame set - "HERON", the last screenshot probably makes it obvious what upcoming mechanic is being added soon This will massively expand gameplay and is essential #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #mecha #mech #simulator #gamedev #godot #gamedevelopment #blender

Spending the evening relaxing and fixing a few things for the generated map. Not sure why exported GIFs are so choppy, the game runs smoothly. What do you love about mechs? #mecha #mech #simulator #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #godot #gamedevelopment

Quick look at the final "LEGACY" frame set, before we move onto more ambitious parts. This HTAF set "TANUKI" is the second weapon-arm frame and fires single shot rockets. Remember, arms can be asymmetrical, if desired. #mecha #mech #simulator #gamedev #solodev #indiegame #indiedev #godot

Added range tracking data, detailed mini-map, operation time indicator, and adjusted other UI elements. Additional touch ups are underway for the interface. Focusing on redoing some structures this week for the generated map. #mecha #mech #simulator #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #solodev

The last "legacy" frame is being added and tested. I'm feeling better that the scaffolding overhaul is more fitting for the hangar interior. Focusing on QOL in the meantime, before crunching the BIG upcoming changes. #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #godot #mech #mecha #simulator #blender

The HUD is feeling more utilitarian than before, some QOL adjustments were made and played around on the map this evening to unwind. I have some big additions planned (´ε｀；) parts and mechanics. Talk to me about mecha. #mecha #mech #simulator #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #godot

Quick update, Added a compass system for the HUD which has been fun to play around with and also proper long vapor trails for missiles, which I'll be showing off later after some assets are finished. I hope you all love mecha. #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #gamedev

Some QOL touch ups have been addressed today. I may have revised the entire catwalk layout for the hangar so we can actually navigate properly, much more aesthetically pleasing than before. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #blender #gamedev #3dmodeling #gamedevelopment #simulator

Prepping to jump into some designs before moving on to larger tasks, this next main feature will be a staple for gameplay and will take some time. I'll also be redoing some map assets to better coexist with the mobs, which are working as intended so that's good news. There's so much to do.

#gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedevelopment #godot #mecha #mech #simulator Uploaded a video showing the minor updates to the command room and another mob vehicle - showing off lock-on missile quirks. There are plans to add frame parts (legs) in the near future with new mechanics 🛼

Happy Saturday, Finishing up the second mobile mob - testing went smooth with the first land vehicle from before. This stubby armored vehicle is being imported tonight. May upload a video soon. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #blender #simulator #gamedevelopment

Imagine detoxing after a mission in the break area while one of your fellow mech pilots is referencing the strategy guide. I love making props that add life to the hangar but I will focus more on mobs and upcoming mechanics. #gamedev #solodev #indiegame #indiedev #godot #simulator #gamedevelopment

Modeling some props for the future - there will be mini-games played on this console farther into development. Inspired by old PC Engines and other consoles. The controllers and wireless adapters will be added too. #gamedev #blender #gamedevelopment #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #simulator #godot

Quick update, Modeled the first mobile mob asset - importing and testing this before dedicating to other designs, such as more conventional tanks and other armored vehicles. #gamedev #solodev #indiegame #indiedev #gamedevelopment #blender #godot #mecha #mech #simulator

#screenshotsaturday #godot #gamedev #gamedevelopment #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #mecha #mech #simulator Happy Saturday, new HTAF parts added and some additions to the hangar to add some more life - still a lot of props are needed to model/import. Up next is more props and the first mobile mob.

Still recovering from the witch doctor's methods. Trying to get back to normal, here is a quick preview of the new HTAF parts being imported - CICERO. I hope to be better soon for more consistent updates. #mecha #mech #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment #godot #blender

I'm recovering from having my wisdom teeth removed, I'll be back to consistent development soon, a lot of inconveniences occurred at the same time. There's a pipeline I'll get back to shortly but I need to take it easy for a moment as I cannot focus properly. In the meantime, Happy Holidays all <3

Quick update, the testing zone received a makeover with some large base structures on a flat wasteland. Once the current pipeline is out of the way, we'll be spending a lot of time testing different mobile mobs. #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #gamedevelopment

Returning soon with more content and updates. I do not like to go more than a week without progress to show off, but I'll be back to the standard routine shortly. The majority of this absence the prior week was due to being extremely sick.

Quick update - added more lock-on missiles and auto seeking back weapons. Creating some more parts/assets before making a big move to focus on more advanced mobs - testing zone could use a makeover. Thank you for the support. #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #indiegame

Quick update - added new clustered land platform bases. Both sub-props and mobs can spawn randomly on each segment. Modeling everything to scale has been an experience. Being sick is terrible ( ꩜ ᯅ ꩜;) ... #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #godot #mecha #mech #simulator #procedural

I am currently really sick (ᵕ–﹏–)🌡️ but I have been messing around with new assets off screen. For now, have a peak at a nice custom paint scheme, the orange joints are a nice accent touch. #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #mecha #mech #simulator #procedural #godot

Added land variant of the existing water platforms for sub-props and stationary mobs. Planning more in-depth large bases and points of interest for later. Currently juggling asset creation for the hangar / map. #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedevelopment

#screenshotsaturday #mecha #mech #godot #simulator #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev Expanded the paint system, all parts for the frame can be painted and have different texture finishes applied, allowing for more cosmetic options. Working on some QOL today and weapon modeling.

Showing off a customized frame, more interesting updates will come soon for the map and hangar. I have a lot of designs planned, especially for weapon arms. #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev

Preview of the latest hangar props, HTAF part set, new weapon arm mechanics, and testing on the terminal. Apologies for choppy frames, OBS is funky. There's much work to do and I am making efforts everyday, this was a big leap. #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev

Quick peak at the new frame set "TENGU", weapon arm mechanics are now being added, finishing up the head. This will open up customization much more. Paint options will be expanded after testing. #screenshotsaturday #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #blender

Added some common ruins to the generated map. Remember, shooting ancient architecture is rude. I will work on adding weapon arms next with the upcoming frame set. Quick reminder that arms can be asymmetrical. #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #procedural
