Cool little prototype.

Keyboard controls were a bit difficult. couldn't fire without letting go of my movement keys.

A great start on a proof of concept and good job on working with multiple controller types.

PROS:

• Really harkens back to the controls and feel of an old-school Mech Warrior game with the turret style control on top of the bipedal body and a throttling navigation setup rather than a binary response to moving or not.
• Nice diversity in weapon types and expressions of attacks from a mech character.
• Even if the enemy mechs are piloted "badly" according to your description, they're still piloted at all and legit moving targets.

CRITIQUE:

• Personal opinion here, but If I can turn my aim independent of my mech's movement then the camera view/rotation should be dictated by my aim and not by my movement. It ends up defeating the purpose of having the rotation of aim and the movement separated when I end up needing to constantly turn my movement to allow my range of aim rotation to be able to cover a target.
• The keyboard control scheme felt a lot like patting my head and rubbing my belly to try and control everything at the same time. When attempting the controller setup I was able to hit the moving mechs fairly well, but it was basically impossible when attempting to do it with keyboard. Possibly due to only using keyboard inputs to dictate the aim when I likely have a mouse to use for aiming if I'm using a keyboard to control the majority of other actions. Keyboard/Mouse is just so common and ingrained in me as a player compared to trying to put both hands on the keyboard to manage everything.
• Obviously not likely to happen for the jam version of the game, but since you have a lot of different potential inputs to control things in isolation it would really help user experience if you could have on-screen button iconography next to the things that get affected by different buttons to just easily remind someone which buttons/sticks do what as they're getting used to the controls.

Very nice prototype! Hitting enemies was a bit difficult just because of how fast the bullets and things move, but the mech controls and everything felt great. The visuals were also very good, and the audio fit very nicely as well. Might just have been me, but the nav points weren't showing up on the top of the screen.

Good job! Hope to see you expand on this in the future.

Great prototype with awesome visuals. Lots of buttons to press, I like it, haha. Looking forward to see more content!

The cel-shaded sort of visuals are so nice to look at! Would love to see it being expanded further. 

Visuals are very nice, combined with the audio this really captures the isolated feeling a lot of MW2 missions have. I love the mech models, too, they're very well animated. 

I also really enjoy the differences in how our games were inspired by MW2, the Jump Jets are always great to have, and having a third person + first person camera makes it much easier to navigate, plus the aiming system works pretty well. 

Despite this being a draft, I really enjoyed this.

Reminds me of the old games - visiting a friend and using their family computer, sharing the mech controls between us for the afternoon!

Nice prototype 🌄

Nice Mw2 like game !

You've really nailed the feel and look of the old Mech Warrior games, and i like how you've adapted the control scheme to work with controllers, which makes it a bit more playable here thanks to the analog controls.

The atmosphere is also really good with the map's sense of scale, and i also like that you've made multiple camera angles to choose from.

I've had a good time overall trying this one out, i managed to complete 2 objectives out of 3 and while searching for navpoint beta i accidentally walked outside of the map and fell into the void XD

Well done :)

this turned out fantastic
