isildur posted:The 'vacuum sunset' mood looks like this. I don't know if it's going to stay that way; the moods are all in flux as the art team fucks with the lighting and fog. But it looks pretty awesome right now. As hard as it is to make lunar maps interesting, I'm really starting to like them a lot. I'll post an in-editor screenshot to my twitter, if you're curious (@hbs_thratchen). aniviron posted:Looking forward to see what you do with lunar terrain, that's a challenge in almost any game setting. Yep, crashed many a ship in KSP due to my own lighting choices (modded it to be dark AF in shadows/dark side) and lack of landing lights. As for it being boring terrain: I don't know if this is feasible with how LoS works with the location points on mechs, but those smaller craters seem like a perfectly legitimate reason to have mech sized foxholes we can get partial cover from. I know on the TT that would work, here it might only just obstruct LoS on both sides. Not really advantageous for anyone. That and you could have ones that work for smaller units but not big ones as posted before, but knowing which hole fits which mech right could be a pain. The vacuum worlds can also have cryo-volcanos/geysers or regular volcanic activity as you wish. Both of them could mess up a unit standing too close, but the fallout around them could screw with our sensors like the crystal fields on Death Valley. It would just be ice crystals or now frozen ash/debris coming back down from the eruptions.  For anyone too lazy to check her Twitter here is the pic. Check it anyway, the map building process tweets are eyeopening how much work it is. Isildur, thanks for posting those! I know HBS are all hands on deck for getting the game done, but little bits of info help hold us over between the big KS updates.

"I'm looking for shiny Raven, will trade golden Timberwolf." This is the BT game everyone is asking for!  Sadly, half the units that quote already exist. I'm glad MWT never got off the ground, the CCG concept was the nail in the coffin after having to swallow the horrible art design.

Psycho Landlord posted:Ah yes, HBS is well known for their exploitation of gamers with the gambling boxes for spirits and ESPs back in Shadowrun Returns, why I remember They are probably more wary due to the more overt Battletech/Mechwarrior lisence and  being involved, regardless of them being just handing over the art assets and hooks for Harmony Gold to salivate over.I mean how dare somebody who may not be familiar with their past games see this- Paingod556 posted:So I can't buy a $500 Gold plated Direwolf? As a for realsies thing one of the companies attached to this game has done, want to be especially sure what rarity tables entail. I know HBS would never pull that poo poo. They have also not failed a kickstarter so hard they got banned from Reddit. But there is certainly enough baggage for people less familiar with to wonder.

We don't know what it's for but if the HBS guys were planning on microtransactions they probably would've told us about them by now, so it's most likely something campaign related.

Well, we know that aside from named characters enemy forces will be randomly generated. So we can safely assume we're far more likely to see a Dragon show up than a Cataphract. But PTN's right, 'Rarity' really only makes sense for the Campaign. Though it makes a ton of sense there, what Mechs you'll be able to buy (when that's possible) and what forces you face are likely both influenced by that number. Rarity runs on a scale of 0-5 so far, we should be swimming in the 0 and 1 rated Mechs. Q_res fucked around with this message at 08:10 on Oct 26, 2017 |

It could also be used (if they wanted) as a filter in the multiplayer, sort of like the A, B, C classes in the Wargame series. Default of all Rarities, but a little selector for how high of a rarity cap you want.

Ugh. gently caress gambling cards in a tactical turn based game. gently caress gambling cards in games, period. MWT was especially bad because of the people who will never get their money back, how bad it ran, and that they were taking money for items in it despite it not running for half the people who had access at the time.

Thats pretty amazing. Not sure how I missed out on that being a thing, glad I did though because I totally would have put money into it. I still have a fairly large collection of cards from the BT TCG and only managed to played like 3 games total.

I believe we do know, actually, and it's what you surmise. Oh, maybe not the exact implementation, but there was a dev post or three a while ago about weighting availability of mechs and that lines up pretty well with what Q_res' list looks like. so basically it's a campaign progression value, I'd put money on it e: I guess in a way I already did put money on it since I backed the game, but you get what I mean.
