>>14721426
That's an arbalest ripoff. Look at the chest design, its almost the same, including the sides of the chest. Chinese ripoffs at it again.
Altho the game does look nice but single player is boring, it needs a multiplayer co-op and vs mode.

Visit the kickstarter page. In fact, when I first heard of it months ago, I thought it didn't have a story mode and was a pvp only game because all the footage I saw was VS mode only.

As much flak as this guy gets, it's kinda hard to be mad when he could give a shit ton of money to the project AND we get a kickass mech.

>>14721802
That looks like pure shit in comparison to that Chinese game, honestly.

>>14721732
Not gonna lie, I'm half tempted to do the 500 dollar one to get /m/-tan in, mainly because my avatar would be me with less hair and a glascow smile; more interested in the gun design.

what kind of weapon would you design?

>>14721842

But /m/-tan might get in....

if /m/-tan does get in he will need a name. Something like Mecha/Metal Marshall? Sheriff Steel? Titanium Titan? Armored Acrobat? Rad Rider? Last Green Shoulder?

I believed in you guys once.

>>14722181
To do that we'd need to give the money to one guy we can trust, and we don't really have anyone

Unless you can make it so when people back they can give an extra portion which goes to the /m/ fund

>>14722250
>middlemen and financial custodians

Gee I dunno, Cacophanus, Otaking, who else?

>>14721892
Why not just /m/-tan? It will be a better name than whatever autistic furry creature gets in

Wasn't that enthused at first glance but after actually taking a look at their KS page I'm gonna drop $90 on it.

Looks like a pretty kickass game and they seem to be doing well backer-wise for this early stage, hope it goes the distance.

>>14722257
機神 and /m/-tan would take no sides

>>14722307
From what the story tells then he would join the Feddies as they don't seem crazy like the Rebels

So what is he going to look like, a mecha version of the actual /m/-tan? In that case it would be a better idea to go with the variant of the Mazinger chest piece as a head fin, rather than the obvious and easily sued Golden Gundam V-Fin.

>>14722338
Seeing as $500 gets you a weapon as well he should have a toaster

>>14721892
>>14722257
Why don't you see if /m/-tan would be an acceptable mecha name when submitting it?
If not then how about... M-Tango Model: HC?

>>14722608
in the presentation video they said they'll try to add mechs from any genre (talking about real robot, super robot etc) and given that the dude have a Getter on his desk I'm sure we'll get some good oldschool robot in

>>14722010
Is that Metroplex behind his monitor? I saw him at other points in the video. I wonder if it's actually the same spot from different angles or if they're moving to figures to keep them in the shot and make it look like they have more than they really do.

>>14722181
>I believed in you guys once.

Why? Every day there are threads asking for rips of things that have legit, affordable releases. /m/ doesn't pay for things.

Crimson-Flare is more a Not-Soulgain.

I wouldn't mind a heavy-type Melee suit though.

>>14722608
I would LOVE it if the 60's mecha was worn out, but clearly well cared for like an old car or something. like the geezer managed to keep the robot for himself and had been lovingly maintaining it for years, despite no need for it until the most recent war.

Nah, that'd be a bit excessive. it'd be a Mazinger, not a Borot.

Huh. Seriously considering adding 100 bucks to my pledge to get the metal mecha figure. And I don't even collect model stuff.

So, in summary, a 2D side scrolling mecha platformer with the intended look and feel of SRW attack animations?

Also, unlike the ill-fated Mighty No.9, they actually have test gameplay footage to show instead of "Artist's Rendering" screenshots?

I actually might be sold on this.

A shame that there's no reliable or safe way for /m/ to pool resources and put in a custom mecha design.

>>14723217
Most of /m/ thinks that the rest of /m/ has shit taste, so we'd never be able to settle on a design that everyone would agree to contribute towards.

The joke about him being a wandering cliche young anime protagonist who you can have a random encounter boss battle with was pretty funny.
And the battle itself wasn't bad either.

>>14725257
The backer OCs were all solid.

Zubaz needs to keep showing up in more games.

>>14722371
Would our Toaster backer designed weapon be some sort of boxy silver missile launcher weapon which fires homing "TST Missiles"?

>>14722257
You still planning on getting him in anon?

It seems to be a clear consensus that he should be U.N.F rather than dirty Rebel aggressor or money grubbing Mercenary,

Is the name still an issue?

>>14725472
>Is the name still an issue?
4chan is copyrighted so I doubt a board name would be allowed. That is why I was thinking of giving him an /m/ related name so 4chan's current owner (I forget it off the top of my head, I think it starts with HI?) doesn't try to sue the developers. 1d4chan's article claims /m/usashi is a nickname of /m/-tan's so maybe we could call him something like Mecha Marshall Musashi. I'll do the 500 dollar buy once a decent consensus is agreed on.

>>14725479
>1d4chan's article
HAH

>>14725479
Honestly if you don't get a better example then I'd say "Mecha Marshall Musashi" is pretty solid.

>>14725479
I'm pretty sure you would not get sued for using /m/ in the name, especially as other chans use the same letters

>>14725486
letters aren't a problem, it's the backslashes. Plus some text systems only use letters and numbers without symbols

>>14725479

Marshall Mektan is cooler. Marshall's a cool title to begin with, works as an /m/ reference, and isn't as common of a donut steel name as Musashi is.

If /m/-tan's weapon is based on a toaster what should it launch? Rockets? Missiles? Flames? Circular Saws?

>>14725557
Circular saw rockets that explode with napalm, ideal for penetrating enemy shields. The drawback? Make it heavy as hell.

I'm getting pretty hyped over this game, so to give it more help am thinking about upgrading to a more expensive pledge reward, feeling a little indecisive though.

If it was your choice would you rather your backer shout-out be the civvy, the foot-slogging infantry soldier or the pilot?
(leaning towards the in-game pilot even though its a bit expensive)

>>14725811
Just normal soldier is okay, $500 is a lot

>>14721892
His name is Musashi. At least that's the name we gave him back when the current design was created.

Why /m/-tan for backer design?

Why not one of the Project ENIS ones? some of these designs were rock solid?

Oldfags are dead.

Does anyone else really love the whole ejection and onfoot gameplay gimmick

To be honest it was one of the things that first caught my eye and made me really give the game a closer look.

It seems like a good project. I usually don't like backing a KS from unknowns and with no demo (yet they really should just put it out) but I'll risk it here cause there is at least gameplay footage

also, am I the only one dissapointed that they went for the Metal-Figure instead of Model kits?
I want to be able to actually AFFORD my mecha.

/m/-tan literally is our avatar, him being a pilot is only fitting.

And really it is pretty laudable that someone would stump up 500 bucks entirely by themselves to do this for the group.

Holy shit, its gotten over $46,000.
And someone has actually gone and done the $10,000 pledge. Even if they're just takin the piss get the feeling it won't matter with how much money this thing is bringing in otherwise, but Jesus Christ.

On the flipside, there are people who will get absolutely pissed at alpha/beta release and go around yelling that the game is garbage despite it being incomplete. You know, the "I want to play this before everyone can, I want to be FIRST." crowd.

Even if a complete game blows the alpha/beta out of the water, these people will be locked into the first impression they got and will continue to badmouth the game despite everything.

>>14731142

>>14732103
Total Biscuit came up with a good concept that fits this, desperation genre. Basically a genre or thing about a game a group wants so bad but rarely if ever gets made, e.g. space sims. This means that group may put a lot of money into it, hype it up, shill it hard etc out of desperation for it.

Mech games would be a good fit for this. We have got fuck all in the past few years and big names that were pretty regular before have been fading for a very long time. Thus a project like this really gets to that base, enough that the average is $100 per backer

>>14732201

I was kind of inspired by LA among other things there are cap ships that launch other mecha and fighters but right now they are autonomous, I was thinking of having them group up into small squads that could be commanded depending on the player's rank or something

>>14734182
they faded because enemies used to be able to shoot you from across the map. I can't make them fade while off screen since it'd affect any fighting the player can't see yet, but I could probably increase the range to get the same effect.

>>14734197
this is probably one of my big dilemmas. they're a bit too small for me as well but I want to make it fairly easy to evade a ton of stuff at once. when most of the programming is done and I can start looking for an artist I will see what can be done to strike a middle groud

>>14734215
Well do what other shmups do, make the hitbox smaller than the sprite. Core internals that cause significant damage if you will.

>>14734215
>they faded because enemies used to be able to shoot you from across the map
Isn't that normal for shmups, for bullets to be flying from across the map.

Well, that one's pretty much mandatory. Banrise would jump all over that.

I remember back when North American SDGO had their ill-fated user-designed sticker contest. Most of the well designed stickers were rejected by Bandai, or Softmax, or both, leaving a bunch of MS Paint things to choose from. I can confirm that anything that included a yellow V on it was outright rejected.

Okay /m/, I tried a redesign despite my absolutely horrible MS paint skills. I went with the Obari face with gundam chin, Mazinger fin (did a hybrid of Great Mazinger and Double X Gundam), put in the Shadow Moon colored RX King Stone, did the triple spike variation of the zaku shoulder, did a Last Red Shoulder colored shoulder, colored the elbows and knees gold and silver 'cause BLAM freedom and UNLIMITED justice, a color timer and light lamp found in showa Ultraman series, and added a pair of bloody slashes on the torso M. The sideburns should not be that big.

>yfw fighting waves of /m/-tans.

/m/-tan donator anon here, I was thinking of making his toaster weapon kind of like a LAW or AT-TA from the old Delta Force games, firing a pair of shots and then becomes inoperable, but instead of being just dead weight as soon as the second shot is fired it could be used as a five second time bomb.

>>14736492

>It was called an AT4 not an AT-TA

WHAT HAVE I DONE WITH MY LIFE!?

>>14736492
I dunno, that doesn't sound like enough shots for this type of game. Don't the regular weapons come with more ammo?

An alternate to making it stand out is making the toasty missiles have some sort of burning aftereffect on targets if that is something this game will have in its weapon system.

When the developers tell you more about the systems and limitations that go into designing weapons for this game be sure to let us know.

>>14736492

Why not have the toast rockets armor piercing and emit crumbs that nullify camouflage and flight boosters for ten seconds? Make those two shots really strong, perhaps even make them EMPs.

>>14736223
It's actually already funded.

The game is being funded both on Kickstarter ($61,284)and on a Chinese-a-like of that called Modian (¥284,269 = $42 605).
So the total ATM is $103,889 putting them at the running line for 2 new boss levels.

In the hope that the Kickstarter campaign goes extremely well, we will consider adding a full recruit system. The players can collect and reinforce each character and able to set up their own squads for special missions!

FUCK YEAH BRING /m/ TAN ALONG TO FUCK UP EVERYTHING

>>14736492
From what I can tell from the >>14735438
It seems like you have unlimited ammo, but have reload times. Like note when CrimsonFlame fires off his Rocketpunch. It says he has one shot, then it reloads and he still has one shot.

So your toaster weapon will be a two-shot weapon, you either launch one at time, or both with a single shot. It might also be you can choose which. Press X to fire one toast missile. Press and hold X to fire two. It then reloads and you have two shots.

Oh wait, I think I get what you're saying.

It fires two toasts. Then the toaster itself can be used like a time bomb, wherein it refills. So it has three shots total.

I'm really digging this. Keep it up anon!

>>14736652
The reload should take some time as you have to wait for the "toast" to be done right

Maybe have a system where you can pop it early for weak missiles, or wait a while and get really big "burnt" missiles

>>14733082
I want to pledge for the same rank too, though its sort of anoying me you have to take the metal statue, that an unnecessary $100 + $60 postage added on. to the stuff thats actually interesting.

Ask them to demonstrate the full-uniform of the generic member of the faction, helmet included

Ask them for small alterations below the level of a proper ace custom uniform to change them into a grunt m-tan (no face details seen through the hel,et apart from being able to barely see the eyes). Gently note that this will be a boon to an entire community of players who will love their game.

Might need to change faction, the nebulous 'mercenaries' sound like it will be less strict in regards to appearance.

>>14737019
>The primary goal of customized characters is to blend you into the game, not a fully original character. We'll draw the character according to the photos provided by backer.
That is pretty doable

/m/-tan is already 90% a normal suit, he then just has the fin, scarf and shoulder. At most we would have to lose the zaku spikes but a green shoulder would still look decent. He'd basically just fit the roll of advanced mook well, basically a normal soldier but a few bits to signify rank

>>14737050
I'm worried this will make the devs think we're trying to make him have a custom pilot suit. That's on a higher pledge if I remember correctly.

>>14737170
At the very very least we can just polity convince them to give him an 'altered helmet' instead of a face, won't require more sprite/art work than a normal custom face and since he's a faction regular pilot with no plot-scenes his slightly unusual helmet won't stick out of place.

>>14737219
Heh, if I had all the money in the world I too would have pledged that amount instead of the little I did. Wouldn't have done $4000 because I'm not really very confident in my ability to design a cool mech for someone elses game. And its not like I would have wanted my submission to be a major character in the plot.
An OC ace pilot and his custom color scheme seem about my limit.

>>14738471
Thunderbolt then probably Roundhammer

>>14737306
>probably a DLC if I had to guess

They've got the 2 additional mechs tier already funded so it could be one of those.

Remember, you need to add the $51,666 to the final figure since they are funding it both on Kickstarter and on Modian at the same time.

>>14734215
>they're a bit too small for me as well but I want to make it fairly easy to evade a ton of stuff at once.
Clearly, what you have to do is have the camera zoomed in for the mech launch sequence, and it zooms out once you gain control of the mech. Best of both worlds - you get to see a nice closeup of the mech, and you get the zoomed out view that's required by the gameplay.

Code: Hardcore is doing okay. They might make their stretch goals, but a lot of kickstarters blow the fuck up to the point where they're out of stretch goals after day 1 and have to keep adding more and more ridiculous ones, which they also break more often than not.

You are seriously comparing apples and oranges now. Plus you arguement doesn't even make sense, another kickstarter did really well so that doesn't mean getting 65k in 5 days is quick? I guess no campaigns do well outside of bloodstained, shenmue and the OUYA cause they did the best ever and no other count now.

>Those are the ones that end up with literally millions of dollars.
No one is claiming it will, what is your damage? Most games do not get that, it does not change that 65k in 5 days is fast for this style of project and I have a much better comparison to prove it

Dual Gear, a mech video game, by a developer with little experience and made in asia (Thailand this time) IG campaign. This is much much closer than a fucking board game, like really was that the best example you found? There first attempt ended in 30k, and now there second a few days in is just a little past 2k. Clearly Codehardcore is doing much better. Just go look at all the game kickstarters that don't even reach that in more days, it is quite a lot.

>>14739153
>65k in 5 days is quick
$117k*

>>14739166
Well yes, but 65k is quick anyway. There are so many games that don't even pass 30k in more days, including games with far more press like that shitty looking dawn of the devs or whatever it is called

>700 backers
>$65,536 pledged of $65,536 goal
>39 days to go

Man Louiky Mu's english speaking voice is REALLY intense.

>>14739153
You're really piling up qualifiers. Now it's gone from
>Wow, that's fast!
To
>Wow, that's fast for a giant robot video game that's not part of a franchise and was developed in asia!

Okay, fine. It's doing great, for what it is.

When do you think they're be sending out the alpha later today?

>>14721363
I don't remember this. But it looks neat!

>>14739393
Probably when they get back to work tomorrow.
They're Chinese, it's 1AM over there.

Says the guy who freaked out about an innocuous comment and started bringing in all types of different shit. You were the one who tried to make the issue more complex, I simply showed how flawed your argument was

>>14739448
You don't take being proven wrong very well.

Their main programmer looks like he never sleeps and is probably the final boss.

>We highly recommend you to call 2 - 3 friends to come play with you together. The game is really good for parties, and also reminds you of your childhood games.
oh......

New update up, details on how the demo will go.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1609568567/code-hardcore-the-coolest-2d-mecha-battle-game/posts/1683047

Also, they're currently at $119,245 So it's less than $5k until the 2 bonus boss levels!

>>14739558
How exactly do I get the artbook?

Also what is a famous cv?

>>14739558
Will they add a backer tier for people who want the PS4 version?

>>14739505
With his $10,000 backer henchman Chris-Chan

>>14739564
I think it's meant to mean VA.

Also, pretty sure the artbook goes along with some pledge tiers.

>>14739565
Probably will be a choice when you get a survey

Though I imagine it would run on even a shitty laptop so not too bad if it doesn't

>Funded over 100% means that Code: HARDCORE Alpha Demo will soon be available for Super Testers!
Upload the demo niggers. They only wanted to jew more money with a fucking paid demo, PAID FUCKING DEMO. Fucking Chink Jews.

>>14739572
>I think it's meant to mean VA.
That would make more sense. i wonder who they want

I kind of just want my custom character from the backer reward to be a generic grunt who actually wears his goddamn helmet and since I'm not a richfag enough for them to be an important character the major distinguishing marks are a personal symbol on the helmet and maybe some additional cosmetic alterations to it as well.

Thing they'll accept that?

>>14739617
Yeah, most likely. Also, good taste, anon. I wish I had the money to throw down on this project. This is like the modern revival of Metal Warriors for the SNES, and that game was absolutely amazing.

>>14739617
I'm sure they'd be glad of a simple one after explaining to wolfcummies57 that they can't have a character with four legs and dick nipples

>>14739628
It reminded me of Cybernator

>Of course you can choose from PC or PS4. We'll contact you about it before the game release :D

>>14739636
Metal Warriors was probably inspired by Cybernator. But the whole thing about pilots jumping in and out of mechs was literally the main Metal Warriors game mechanic.

I didn't realize super tester gets the alpha, if I change now would they still give it to me?

>>14740168
Ask? I just upgraded to the $60 tier because I wanna have the $90 by the end of the Kickstarter.

but I gotta sell more Bionicles for that to happen!

>>14739558
>famous CV
I sure hope they mean japs

I pledged the game yesterday after seeing this thread lying around. Let's hope they deliver - I have very low expectations of Chinks (I am one myself) especially that accent but they seem like a bunch of passionate folks who know their shit.

Anyway got the email update just now.

Hah I'm starting to really like this guy

Has anyone ripped the Soundcloud demo music?
I've not the ability, so here's the link:

https://soundcloud.com/user-652307899

If someone could 'repackage' these, and say, post to mediafire or something...

Say /m/, if /m/-tan can't get a reasonable transition into this game, do you mind if I pull out or at least reduce my pledge? I ask this because I'm very not comfortable with spending 560 dollars for something I didn't intend.

>>14742232
Could you clarify? Did the devs mean to say that, "We're not making full on custom sprites, just slightly tweaked generic sprites for your self-insert characters?"

>>14742232
It's your pledge. If you don't feel comfortable, you should probably reduce it.

>>14742232
Of course not its your pledge

>>14742232
Honestly I might knock my own pledge down to $90 if this turns out to be a hassle
