Project Status and Updates
Hello Everyone,
It has been awhile since we have posted an update, and I know there has been a lot of grumblings going on (rightfully so).
As many of those who read our posts know, we disabled sales on this project a couple months ago because we did not feel we should continue selling something that isn't close to a finished state. While that doesn't help those that have already purchased the product, it was to give us time to re-evaluate the project, see where we are and what we could realistically accomplish for a first release of the game.
So over the past couple of months we have gone through the process of stream lining what we can off as a first release and while we cannot make any promises at this time when this might occur, we are hopeful that this will be around the end of this year (2019).
Things we are currently working on:
- Updated game engine (Almost complete)
- Updating networking
- Adding better Steam integration
- Updating UI and game flow
- Updating economy and progression
- Balancing Mech chassis and Weapons
- Adding new Chassis "skins" (looking to have 2 additional options per 4 different chassis types for first release)
- Updating back-end services
Currently our intended road-map is as follows:
End of Sept - Release the new game client to current owners to begin testing Multiplayer functionality.
End of Oct - Start testing new Squad system and MP matchmaking facilities
End of November - Beta Testing
End of Dec - Initial MP Release
*Note that when we open the game back up for new players, current owners will be moving to what we will call the "Founders Edition" of the game. For us this means that all current owns will receive all future updates and content for free, as well as some other in game bonuses and perks. We are still determining what this looks like, but there will be more announcements in the coming months.
