What else could I add to improve this?

The barrels for the mech's shoulder-mounted minigun now spin and heat up!

(The heating up doesn't affect gameplay, just a bit of visual detail 😉)

I know I JUST said on Patreon that I would be trying to post once every other day on Bluesky and Twitter but #wishlistwednesday got me thinking about the second teaser for the game...

And looking back at it a month later, I can't believe how much of it has been improved already. Dev is going FAST
Happy #wishlistwednesday to any indie devs out there!

This is the latest teaser trailer for my game. If you like Armored Core, mechs, roguelikes, or just fast paced 2D action games you might like this.

Working on updating Reverse Joint mechs for my game! Any requests for specific kinds of Reverse Joints anyone would like to see in the game?

Definitely gotta add some heavy weight ones.

Another Patreon post is live! This one is a sort of "grab bag" going over multiple things I've been working on over the last few days. I'm probably going to do this more often moving forward.

Beam Rifle
A heavy-duty laser rifle, manufactured by Obsidian Station Armaments. It fires a single long-range beam that can penetrate multiple targets. It has a fairly long cool-down and high energy consumption.

Auto Shotgun
An illegally modified Revolving Shotgun. It fires a smaller round in exchange for dramatically increased fire rate. It consumes a LOT of energy and tends to overheat with prolonged fire.

Happy Friday, everyone! I've made a free post on the Patreon that goes over three of the enemy units you can encounter in my game.

This is part 1/2, a follow-up will be released over the weekend.

In case you missed it, I uploaded a longer 45 second clip of gameplay to the channel!

At some point in the near future I'm going to make a post on the Patreon detailing the enemy factions and how they work.
