MECHA ATTACK - Dev Log #5! | Post Gamescom Update!
14K View2023-09-17Hello everyone!
Its me Sam (Swammy) coming to you with an update on the production/development of MECHA ATTACK!
It has been a while since the last Development Log as I have been hard at work on the game and also been in talks with multiple publishers as we are still in a pre-production phase of development (although most of you know this already).
This dev-log is more of an update on what has been happening and less of a showcase on development itself as a lot of the stuff you see in pre-production will change during full production (less placeholders used etc).
As I continue to post more dev-logs in the future I will remain fully transparent and be doing my best to respond to your comments/questions/ideas!

POST GAMESCOM UPDATE
So late august I flew from the UK to Cologne, Germany for Gamescom 2023! This wasnt my first rodeo with gamescom but it was the first time for me to be doing a lot of meetings/events!
I want to tell you that It all went amazing, I hope in the future to be able to have a booth/spot for mecha attack where you can all try out the game and take lots of photos/videos! :)
DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
So you likely have been wondering what has been going on since the last dev-log?
Well that will require me to explain a bit about how game development works in an early stage such as pre-production.
Currently the main focus has been building a full vertical slice which we have basically achieved at this stage and we have been using this to achieve funding and finding a publisher.
I have also worked on a steam page as well for the PC version of the game. We need a publisher if we hope to land onto consoles as well.
I have attached a few clips/images of the game in this to show you how the game is coming along but this is very rough pre-production media which will be only a very lower end representation on what the game will look like in a few years time.
Companion Combat:
For some quests/missions your NPC/Companion will fight alongside you during the mission
A HUGE THANK YOU
I want to thank you all for the support on MECHA ATTACK so far, its been a crazy year for me so far and I cant wait to keep showing you development on the game, currently the only developer is me but the team will be scaling up fast in the future!
Thanks for reading

30K Pre-Registrations! - MECHA ATTACK!
Thank you for 30K Pre-Registrations on our indie game Mecha Attack!
Yes, we are a team of 5 creating the game, its an ambitious title and we are currently aiming to get investors/publishers on board (already in talks), with funding we would be able to build a better experience long term and grow the team! This would not affect the games core design nor would we lose creative control. A lot of amazing things are in the works and we couldn't have done it without all of your support!

Mecha Attack - Development Update #1
Welcome to the First Development Update for Mecha Attack!
Thank you for 10K+ Pre Registrations In One Week!
For a game that is being made by one person it means a lot to receive so much support!
I have been working on the animations for the game to try make them look smoother, this also meant improving the rigs for the game and adding things like the character blinking and just giving that much needed life to the animations!

I have some requests if you don't mind, because I was looking for any game that has my requests for almost a year and still didn't find anything, so I'd really appreciate it if you do them in your game

you'll still keep the offline features? it'll be quite easy to hack the save data no? anyway we're happy to see the development progress like this
