Hey Pilots! Apologies for the lack of updates. I’ve been so heads-down working on the game I neglected to post here. Moving forward, I'll try to make a post about the game once a month! Here’s an update about what we recently added to Mecha Simultactics, and what's coming up next.

It will feature EDM, breakcore, and techno created by System ST91. We just released a track from the OST. Listen to it here!

The characters are now split up into multiple sprites, so you can fine-tune their colors. Plus, there will be various equipment options to choose from, visible on your mech.

The answer is yes! But, I'll show those in a future update.

There are two major things I need to fix before sending out invitations to playtest the game. [b]1. Battle UI[/b] The in-game UI is pretty confusing and janky. I need to add some more information like stats, and fix some input issues. [b]2. Attack Balancing/Fixes[/b] Attacks are just a proof of concept right now. So, you can spam them and easily grief each other. I need to tweak and balance them a bit. This will be an ongoing process even after release.
