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

[Ninjerk]

It feels alright. I'm still not in love with the sprites, but they're obviously in constant revision. The little portrait and the dice rolling area give me hope that there's something cool happening there.

Like imagine it's the '90s and you go to the old computer shop (run by Crispy) and you ask the guy at the counter, "Hey do you have MECHAJAMMER?"

And then some fat nerd in the background lights up thinking you want to play Spelljammer with him.

I'm not fat.

WOW! Just saw the trailer on RPGWatch and I liked the new look very much! Congratulations for the amazing, new Art Direction!

To Developer:
I mean no disrespect, for I know, what is going on backstage, but if you want a Pension Project - retirement plan - with this game, you must make the turn-based combat function a little bit more like XCOM: UFO DEFENSE. XPiratez, and The X-Com Files are proof that I speak the truth.

Still getting used to the 2D SitS-style characters but oddly I think this new look is a good amalgamation of what came before it...

Don't tell me it reminds you of Genesisrun or Syndicate. Don't fucking set me up for disappointment like that, damn you.

Dont worry , they will starve or kill each other before it happens.

Ironically, during the earliest conceptualization phase of the game, pre Kickstarter, it was supposed to be 2D characters on a 3D rendered background... Then they wanted camera rotation and wanted to resolve fog of war etc issues and switched to 3D characters. And now literally years later coming back to what they first thought of at the very beginning

And at some point they'll return to 3D models. I don't give a fuck anymore, just want they to release anything.

The new artstyle is just ... pedestrian. Harambe doesn't approve.

The video reminded me a little bit of Syndicate

Except Syndicate's look is somewhat fitting for the time the game was released. It's been a while since then.

wish they had kept copper dreams.

That might imply the game had loftier goals. The trailer they've shown doesn't inspire confidence in the RPG department. While I'm certainly not opposed to combat in RPGs, that seems to be the main, or rather sole, focus of this game from here on.

Have they said anything at all about the story, why they changed the name or how they're actually going to implement cyberware in the game?

My comment was more aiming at the look of the gameplay, rather than the visuals.

Since I am fluent in beepish, I will translate this tweet: Art change incoming

How in the name of bloody hell is this game that looks more like a fucking abortion, still generating posts in this thread ? Have Codexians turned into complete fucking retards ?

The beta is actually kinda fun tbh. But they really need to fix the controls for movement, freaking mouse clicks sucks and no diagonal movement sucks, and I'm constantly accidentally clicking a box that my character will run over to (which can't be canceled once initiated!) through a deadly hail of gunfire. But the more I play the more potential I see: different weapons have different strengths, positioning and cover is important, different weapon firing modes are useful in different situations. Better controls alone will make it feel like way less of a cluster fuck, and all the cool mechanics under the hood will be more obvious I think

Ok, if this thing comes out, I'm in.

This is pretty much as active as they've ever been on social media/self-promotion. So maybe that's a good sign?

They are just in their manic phase. We´ve been there many times with them to know better.

There was a lot of promotion before, during, and immediately following the Copper Dreams Kickstarter.

How soon do you expect to see a pre-order option made available?

Social media, replying to emails, doing interviews all drain a creative person. Anything that disrupts the creative flow state slows down production.

They are suspiciously active. I don't like this. I'm scared.
