To squeeze in some more pixel art talk, Dropsy is going to be out September 10! AND related adventure game news, Indiegogo funded Fran Bow from a couple years back is out August 27.

Maybe this will lead to another FP 'mech game, though even a turn-based one is great. I didn't ever like MechWarrior online or any of the other mods that have come out in the last few years too much.

Lurdiak posted:That sounds loving radical, but I'm a little sad it's not Mech Commander 3. I'm the opposite, Mech Commander was mainly a sort of tactical strategy game, with little to no RPG elements. Battletech is a RPG at its core, the combat is just...well, combat. I'm looking forward to role playing, interesting characters, and an engaging story (things Mech Commander never had, afaik). The very fact it's Battletech instead of Mechwarrior makes me very happy and hopeful, I'll definitely be backing this one.

I didn't ever like MechWarrior online or any of the other mods that have come out in the last few years too much. Good news, you'll never see another FP/TP while PGI draws a breath. They even C&D'd Mechwarrior Living Legends (the Crysis Wars mod) even though it didn't really compete. I'm not even sure about the licensing status of this one, but I'm assuming that the turn-based game that was launching at the same time as MWO has fallen through and reverted.

I'm looking forward to role playing, interesting characters, and an engaging story (things Mech Commander never had, afaik). They actually had some pretty awesome storylines, In the first game you were part of an invasion force attempting to liberate Port Arthur from the clan, but one of the battalions has gone missing. It leveraged the tinkering with the Mechs to magnificant effect and allowed you to make specific choices in actually running the missions. The tactical choices were multivarious, and you couldn't simply blob up as you're both outgunned and behind enemy lines. Hav fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Jul 29, 2015 |

So Boma Naraka Sura is another Metroidvania, the angle this being that it's done by an Indonesian developer and based on Indonesian culture.    The gameplay seems a little generic, but I'm not a Metroidvania fan, so they all blur together for me, but it's to have an original theme. Hope we get more games from different third world devs like this. THERE IS A DEMO AVAILABLE. GaistHeidegger posted:Did Golem Arcana end up going anywhere or did it fizzle and flop? I just checked it out and its main page and its Boardgame geek page seem active enough. I guess at the very least they're not losing money on it?

Kurtofan posted:So it's a RPG about mechs, basically? Presumably it will be like Shadowrun with mechs, either using two different combat systems and scales or maybe it will be mission based with all RPG interaction taking place between missions. Either way it's really cool as someone who has zero interest in any multiplayer/F2P Mechwarrior game. I'd rather want a big expensive Mechwarrior 5, but this is definitely the next best thing, Harebrained Schemes can do little wrong in my book, and the very nature of it being a mech game automatically makes the character dynamic very different from most RPGs.

Veib posted:I went in almost completely blind on Shadowrun Returns knowing nothing beyond the very basics of the universe and loved the games, here I've at least played Mechwarrior 2. Definitely backing that. Is Mechwarrior part of the Battletech universe? I thought that series was Microsoft's own IP that kind of emulated it

Alucard Nacirema posted:Is Mechwarrior part of the Battletech universe? I thought that series was Microsoft's own IP that kind of emulated it Nope. Battledroids was the first boardgame, and that became BattleTech because of a copyright dispute (Lucasfilm and 'Droid'). A few years later Mechwarrior the RPG was released. All the same universe, just beset with various licensing and copyright issues. For instance, the front cover of Mechwarrior was a glorious rendition of a Rifleman.

I get you, I just really loved commanding a batallion of mechs through complicated strategic missions and having to balance my budget and salvage enemy parts. I'm probably backing this.

Having only memories of playing Mechwarrior 2 and not paying attention to anything I always had the mistaken notion that Mechwarrior was the name of the universe IP, so this is all very educational. The Kickstarter pitch seems good, hopefully the combat's a bit better than Shadowrun.

Combat will no doubt be a bigger focus in this game than in Shadowrun due to its nature as a tactical wargame. Maybe they'll just adapt the actual rules of whatever edition is the newest?

They did however also publish the two MechAssault games on the original Xbox, were you maybe thinking of those? They're also set in the Battletech universe.
