M.A.S.S. Builder News

Hello! We had a short and small update last week so this week's a bigger one! Here's to the showing of the last new energy launcher for the upcoming 0.8.0 patch, the Photon! There has been quite some speculation on how this energy launcher with a peculiar name will work, so speculate no further, we're here to shower you in its glory, or lasers... mostly lasers...



The PHOTON shoots extremely fast in a wide area ahead of the M.A.S.S. unit, blasting them with lasers no matter where they are in the area of effect. It's also an instant use and allows the M.A.S.S. unit to quickly continue moving, whether to retreat or move in and assault enemies caught in their firing array.



Here's a sideview of how fast the PHOTON shoots out their projectiles. They can only be used when you have full ammo though, so pad those EN Recharge stats if you want to use them continuously! That's all for this week, stay tuned for more, it's not much now until the 0.8.0 is ready for everyone to play with.

So... you remembered when we mentioned we're working on the profiles and save data thing in the AMA? Well, we're almost finished with it, and we're ready to show them to you.



Here is a short clip of how it will work. Each save data will have its own profile and progression, and most importantly, each profile can save up to 32 m.a.s.s. units so if you're lacking in space, you can replay the game, relive the story, and get 32 more slots to create M.A.S.S. units.



Now, some of you might have had an accident of misnaming your PMC, or you just like to change it due to some head-canon. Fear not, the PMC name change system is here, for a cost of 100,000 credits. Hey! You're making Reina do some extreme paperwork here, pay up!



And finally, a feature to help you learn how you fare in M.A.S.S. Builder, or maybe use them to show off and compare progress with your friends, the mission records. These are data collected from the start of the game, separated by difficulties. It shows the times you've completed them, the fastest completion, times played, times failed, times restarted or abort, and in challenges, the waves you've completed as well.

We hope these features will satisfy some of your needs, we'll see you again next week.

Hello everyone! We're back with another new Energy Launcher showcase, this time for the upcoming SLASH launcher. The SLASH Energy Launcher is a mid-ranged, low ammo, quick action launcher that instantly attacks at an arc in front of the M.A.S.S. unit on command.



Each press of the use button will command your drones to instantly slash once, and they can be repeatedly press in combination of every other attacks.



Of course, you can still use it with long range weapons, but as mid-range as they are, you will not be able to hit them if you're far from your target.



And as always, here's an extra image of when they're used in combat. Our test unit here has been spamming it non-stop, so it's a very unoptimized use here, but it's very fun to just spam it away in combination with your melee attacks.



That will be all for today. Remember, this is still a work-in-progress and things can still change! And as an announcement, the AMA clip will be released next Saturday with some more announcements! Expect hours and hours of questions and answers!
