KickStarter Mechajammer (formerly Copper Dreams) - cyberpunk RPG from Whalenought Studios

[AdolfSatan]

Looks promising, and I'm still morbidly curious about how this will end. What I worry is that with all the shuffling between systems and whatnot, by the time it gets published the game will have half an hour worth of gameplay. Bugs and ballinse issues I don't mention because I take for granted there will be myriads.

I mean, I hope they're having fun making more games. Would be nice if they finished one at some point.

Pessimistic jokes aside, it's nice to see they've iterated on gameplay based on user feedback.

Terrible name... instead of scifi golden age book title like 'copper dreams' to weeb shit

 

[Grampy_Bone]

So they got rid of all aesthetic and turned it into brown and green sludge.

Okay then.

 

[Terra]

Every time this thread gets bumped.

Agree with Sensuki about the syndicate vibes, but that name... wish they had kept copper dreams.

 

[Lyre Mors]

Well, this iteration is still looking good to me. I preferred the less roguelike "granular" movement and interaction they had on display before, but this still looks like fun, and definitely the most interesting and kinectic of this general style I've seen. I just really want them to stick with it now and fill the game with actual content. After this long of a wait, it'd be really nice to get a robust 40-50 hour campaign. Or at least a good 30 hour one with solid replayability. Also, loved that little cursor swirl with the bribe near the end of the trailer too. Made me laugh and was a nice touch. And I enjoy the new name, despite ultimately preferring Copper Dreams.

And when it does come out, I hope it sells enough to keep these two going. Hannah and Joe, get those big streamers like CohhCarnage to play your game. This looks like something right up his alley in fact. Reach out to some CRPG focused YouTubers too. Some of the best marketing you can do these days.

The game might be fun to play, but it looks like looking inside a long forgotten moldy trashcan with batches of unknown life creeping around.

Well said!

Does needing to register and or trademark the name have anything to do with the change?

 

[Alienman]

Do mechajammers dream of copper?

Don't worry, judging from their track record, they're gonna change the name about half a dozen times.

 

[Jenkem]

 

[agris]

grimace do you think Copper's Dream beat them to it?

 

[mediocrepoet]

Perhaps there is no wasted effort... ALL of the different art styles and combat/dialogue systems displayed to date could be featured in the final game to reflect alterations like character development and gradual progression through different stages of cybernetic augmentation.

I was actually just figuring they were designing every game they'll make from now until retirement all at once to get it out of the way so they can focus on content generation.
Now it appears that they're also naming all of the games in advance. Smart.

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

You know what hasn't been tried yet?

...

Spoiler

Changing the name of the game.

...just sayin'

.... changing the name of the bloody game to 'Broken Dreams', would be the most appropriate

Damn you!

edit.
...and damn me for quoting wrong poster.

 

[Ismaul]

Ehh.... I liked all the other art styles way better.

Looks like decline all around except for the music.

 

[Infinitron]

The music is the same track by V-Axys they used in the Kickstarter trailer over four years ago.

Glad they have fun with all those kewl dudes money yes.

 

[Ninjerk]

My bet is they change their own names next.

 

[Yosharian]

LOVE the aesthetic. Wow.

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

I don't know shit about this but I just want to say Mechajammer sounds super gay and Copper Dreams was better.

 

[Ismaul]

Sounds like not the same game.

 

[Ninjerk]

The vehicular combat looks neat.

 

[luj1]

Anyone have a gallery of all the art styles this thing went through?

I thought the PS1 style looked best

Anyway yeah would be cool to see this.

 

[Ranarama]

Can't wait to sail my Mechajammer among the cyberstars.
