Thank you so much for your interest in Mecha Simultactics and for waiting patiently while I work on the Alpha build! If you want to make sure you don’t miss the Alpha release, you can stay in the loop in various ways. Sign up for all the things!

HUD Design

Map Props

We’re adding some flavor to the maps with props, like trees and cars. You can create your own props in custom maps, too.

Burst

I’m often asked if it’s possible to break a combo if your mech is airborne or getting juggled.

I just started working on the “Burst” action which allows you to break free and gain control of your mech. It’s still a work in progress, but here’s how it looks so far. If you have Burst available, you will get the option to use it while you are being knocked back.

What's Next

The Alpha build is getting very close. Thank you for waiting!! I’m still working on fixing some bugs and ironing out the actions and attacks.

That’s all for now!
