Version 0.6.8

12. juli 2019

Version released on Default & Unstable branches

New Ultimates

Shooter's Napalm Strike will cause fire to rain down from the sky, greatly damaging mechs and foreground alike!
Digger's Plasma Beam will make a thin, long hole on the ground, designed to split terrain like nothing else!
Tank's Dome Shield will create a round barrier wherever it lands, which is only solid during enemy turns!
Healer's Resist Death will prevent a mech from dying for a few turns, but doesn't it work on itself!

New Mech Colliders

All mechs now have two separate colliders, a Body and a Capsule. The Body is very detailed and meant for projectiles and particles. The Capsule is what will interact with the ground. This greatly improves both hit detection and movement around the map.

Smaller Sky City

This map's huge size was preventing players in some positions from hitting some areas, specially from the lower platforms to the upper ones. This has now been fixed, we hope you like it!

Ambient Sounds

All maps now have background sounds, such as gears turning on the Steampunk Factory.

Minor Changes

Charging the shot to max power will now automatically release it.
Turn timer now stops when the player begins charging the shot.
Increased overtime tolerance from 2 to 5 seconds.
Skills can now be selected with a mouse click!
Some UI changes were made to improve usability.
Saving a preset with none active will now activate it.

Fixes

Fixed beam particle from Shield Generator on Snow Mountains.
Fixed projectiles not exploding in contact with dead mech parts.
Fixed landing animation triggering too often.
Fixed Digger's walk animation speed.
Fixed mechs getting stuck on irregular terrain.
Fixed mechs appearing in front of the Steampunk Factory's cogs.
Fixed RingShot collision detection.
Fixed zoom animation on first turn preventing zoom input.
Fixed last angle indicator updating every new turn.
Fixed allied bots spawning as if they were enemies.
Fixed submenu not reappearing after leaving an ongoing match.
Fixed player getting stuck when leaving a room by pressing Escape.
Fixed GuidedBarrage not always launching all 7 projectiles.
Fixed bots freezing the game if projectile path is blocked.
Fixed bots selecting enemy spawn points.
Fixed enemy spawn points being selectable at all.
Fixed projectiles sometimes exploding more than once.
Fixed mechs teleporting after turn ended.
Fixed skill descriptions coloring and text.
Fixed error when trying to save a preset while none was active.

As always you can read all about those changes in far deeper details on our bugtracker https://www.noxaquila.com/mantis/changelog_page.php?version_id=26

See you on the Battle Frontier! ːsteamhappyː

Battle Mech Frontier

Waiting for launch!

The part of this game that's accessible looks awesome! Sadly, I don't have any friends that are playing, so I'm stuck just building mechs and hoping the open room system launches soon so I can start playing full matches! Maybe launch a tutorial as a bit of a spoiler? Or appetizer?...

Version 0.6.7

3. juli 2019

Version released on Default & Unstable branches

Improved Bot AI

The bots have finally been more properly implemented! They can now use all 4 skill slots, have a target decision making, and will even start with low accuracy and increase it as it plays. The idea is that they feel like a player, so test them out and share your thoughts with us!

Maps Functionality

All maps now have their gameplay-changing features implemented! Check them out:

Steampunk Factory: This enclosed map has all of its wind coming from the huge fans on the background. Deactivating them by breaking some of the foreground gears will shift the wind direction, or even stop the wind entirely!
Snow Mountains: A Mountain Freeze debuff makes movement much slower. Activating the pad in the center of the map will cause all your energy to be drained, but your team will be immune to the debuff for the rest of the match!
Sky City: The flying structures can't be destroyed like regular foreground. Instead, they take damage from the stamps. If their health reaches zero, they fall from the sky!
Ancient Temple: Positioning is key in this map, as the ground will shift in height every few turns. Be careful not to get too exposed, or even worse, to touch the death line!
Atlas Tower: Turrets are available on the far ends of this map. Landing on them allow any Mech to use them to shoot their enemies instead of their regular skills. They have large, powerful explosions, but beware of the risks!

In addition to all of these, all maps now also have different Terrain Resistances, which means explosions will have varying effect on the ground, which greatly helps smaller maps last longer.

Sound Effects

The game feels a lot more alive with all our new sound effects, both on the menu and in-game. Doesn't that sound great?

New Skills

Healer's DamageUp buff will increase the damage dealt by a mech for a few turns. Stacks up to 3 times.
Healer's ResistanceUp buff will decrease the damage received by a mech for a few turns. Stacks up to 3 times.

Skill Changes

Tank's ShockArrow now inflicts stacks based on slot, and takes 3 stacks to activate. When active, now lasts for 3 turns.
Tank's IceArrow now inflicts stacks based on slot, and has a progressive effect with the stacks (max 3). Now lasts for 3 turns.
Healer's AcidArrow now inflicts stacks based on slot, and has a progressive effect with the stacks (max 3). Now lasts for 3 turns.

Other Changes

Wind now has a base chance of 2% of big changes, with an increase of additional 2% for every turn since the last change. Previously, it was a flat 5% chance.
Greatly reduced internet and processor usage during turn changes.
Skills now display an Area of effect, instead of a Radius.
Increased grenades area from 150 to 300.
