I hope this doesn't sound too suspicious, is it generally frowned upon if my work is similiar to another game? This is literally the second time I'm making anything public and I'm a bit anxious. I am trying to make a FitD mecha game based primarily on Armored Core, but I'm worried it might end up being too similiar with Apocalypse Frame, which is a Lumen Game

Not a bit. I think you may be hard-pressed to find a game being worked on here that isn't similar to other games. What matters is that you make something that fulfills your personal creativity and design goals. Ours is an iterative art form, so you're on solid ground as long as you're iterating artistically!
