Devlog - Corporations
Hello everyone!
As we’re gearing up for the release of Mech Mechanic Simulator, we wanted to give you some insight into the game’s lore and tell you a little more about the corporations that will rule it’s world!
You will come across 4 different groups - the Sakura Corporation, Dauhasky Company, VI-CO and Hackers. Each of them with unique traits, mechs and paint jobs.
Sakura Corporation, as you’ve probably guessed, originates from the Japanese culture. It is a mix of tradition and technology - built on honor and self-sustainability, but not afraid to push the boundaries - they were the first to explore space in search of new resources. Usually, they are peaceful and like to boast about recent achievements on various shows and conferences, but don’t let that fool you! If necessary, they’ll start a conflict without a blink.
Dauhasky Company, on the other hand, has a Middle-Eastern vibe to it. It’s all about production, resources, luxury and quality. Their success is built mainly on mining, as they were one of the first in the world to discover deposits of new material. So, their machines may come out as heavier than others. This brought them huge amounts of money, which they like to spend on experimenting with technology or new materials. It also boosts their military power, as they can afford to buy mechs from other corporations.
VI-CO is the type of corporation, which we can describe as “western”. Growing business is their key driver, hence they’re very aggressive in terms of expansion and marketing. If anyone stands in their way, war is the only solution and that’s why they put a lot of focus on firepower. They work as an umbrella company for multiple smaller producers. Numbers and growth are all that matters. If you can’t keep up - you’re out. Their mechs have an aggressive and military design.
Hackers are on the opposite end of all this. They are a bunch of vigilantes, who like to operate in the shadows. Drawing from different cultures, they are all about freedom, crossing the borders and functionality. Officially, the black market for mech parts doesn’t exist, but in real life that’s what keeps them alive. They don’t care about rules or rights of other corporations and regardless of individual reasons, they’re all trying to fight the monopoly of 3 big companies. Obviously, Hackers add their own twist to their machines - unique paint jobs or some homemade modifications. Even though those mechs are not officially available, many customers see it as an opportunity - to save some money or use the machines for equally unofficial purposes...
