Chapter Master converts to the Omnissiah!

[MrAltF4]

Chapter Master Valrak interviews the Producer (me) of Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus, in the first ever gameplay footage.
keep in mind this is a very early build, so much to add still. This is simply the tip of the iceberg!

I've talked with Valrak and if there are any questions that you'd like to ask about his opinion of the game, then feel free to mention it here and he will get back to you.

Enjoy!!

While necrons may be the main enemy focus do you plan on posibly later in development or possibly later after launch adding new enemies to fight. Also in the video you did say that you could do missions for 2 frogewrold represenatives but could you possibly go more indepth of what that will entail like if you side with stygies will X tech get better or will you get access to X tech. Also will there posibly be any model deals like there was with sanctus reach cause more admech models would be amazing

[shadowsfm]

i'm impressed. and now we know what we are getting into. take, take my money

[mutto]

Are you gonna include cutscenes like the (great)trailer for the game, in the final game?
Kinda like battlefleet gothic armada does with its story cutscenes?
im asking because the trailer for this game really captures the 40K and Mechanicus feel, so it would be amazing.

Really liked what I saw. Some observations tho:

The Good:
-Game looks great! I know it's an early alpha/demo but still, nice job! I love the effects. Flamer looked nice, the Necron Lord with his map changing powers, that was a nice effect, ect. Cheers!
-Love the little jitter in the move area indication. Makes it look like a projection/hologram/laser on the actual battlefield. Nice.
-Like the fluff, and the FLT like, choose your option thing. I hope there are some entertaining ones there.
-Being a DnD nerd, I like the attack of oportunity mechanic. Keep it in. Tho and indication or some info about how much damage it will do would be nice.
-Speaking of info, information about the enemy would be nice. Like if you could in some way get/scan/research you enemies, and get to know their attacks, stats, move range, attack range ect.
-Also indication of if an attack is on target, or if its blocked or out of range ect would be nice.

The Bad:
-Timed game... ughhh This mechanic is in the top 10 most HATED game mechanics of all time.. and it's up there. Even in legendary games like Fallout, gamers hated it. In fact they hated it so much that they toned it down severely in Fallout 2.. and people still hated it. Either do it very,very well, or just don't.
-Games like this live and die on the unit variety and customization. There wasn't much said, but this is a major thing. Players need to be able to play around with their units and builds of said units.

Well that's it for now. I had much more things to say, but it's an hour long vid... so I forgot most of what I wanted to say xD
Cheers.

Just wow...

after so many years, the chance showed up for really good if not great 40K game. Definitely i will track the progress of development :) Keep up the good work guys! My the Omnissiah bless your every machine Alt !!! :)

Absolutely loved the mission gameplay footage, but I have a question about this store in menu. So, you can buy randomised items there and you can spend in-game resources to re-roll the item list, right? So, my question is — will this game include microtransactions? The way the store works as you described it just screams "microtransctions", if you ask me.

[Willical]

From the looks it wont be microtransactions since of the whole EA fiasco most companies have just shyed away from tht buisness practice and he said in the video that there is a resource you activbely gain to do it and with no mention or hint that this game had any premium resources or stuff like that i would hope that there is gona be no micro transactions

[Lt.Hargrove]

How large can a squad under your command be?

[Lt.Hargrove]

Another one, how are you feeling about competing with Phoenix Point? Both games are aiming for Q4 and Gollop's reputation is dare I say legendary.

[Willical]

In the video they did say in a mission 4 but each techpriest can have multiple menials
you can have more than 4 techpreists though

[Necroledo]

This is glorious. I'm so happy to see two vastly underrepresented factions finally becoming protagonists. I just hope Necrons are deadlier than shown here, as they should be! :)

Well, balance is definitely a subject to change. There is no way a Necron Lord couldn't handle a couple of techpriests.

Indeed. Same for 2 Necron Warriors against a servitor, or 6-7 Flayed Ones against a techpriest. I really don't want to sound pedantic, and I'm sure this is just an early demo with probably a low difficulty setting, but Necrons should feel appropiately dangerous and deadly; they're not the top technological race in 40k for nothing.

[Skullkrusher]

Will there be Forge World models making an appearance? Or are you restricted to Games Workshop models only, like skitarii and kastelans? Is there a chance for things like secutarii, thallax, the full range of volkite and darkfire weapons, maybe even guardian or battle automata?
