Hi Pilots,
We will be taking part in Save&Sound festival! I will be live streaming so there is a chance to talk / ask question.
Edit: I just got from holiday and unfortunately I got COVID. Head pain & fever are too much to do any kind of streaming. I'm sorry that I had to cancel the stream.

Good day everyone,
First of all, I would like to apologize to every one of you who expected me to be sending my devlog more regularly, shame on me as I realized it has been nearly half a year since my last Dev Diary.
These past 5 months have been a mixture of some time off, due to Xmas and Easter, and focusing on implementing new ideas to the Prologue that I really would like to release ASAP.
So what have I been doing except for resting, you may ask???
Game will have three main resources you can get after the battle, but they will be exclusive and you will have to think carefully which ones are most important to your current situation.
You will be able to get: spare parts, credits, and experience points.
Let's say you got a pretty cool laser but your mech doesn't have enough heat sinks to operate it. Then you prioritize Credits as rewards so you can purchase a new heat sink from the orbital trade platform.
(I will write a dedicated dev diary on skills before the Prologue release, they should open another dimension of customization and deckbuilding).
Once every 2-3 battles you will be able to visit the Orbital Trade Platform. You will be able to sell old items and buy new ones. Trade platform will be a powerful tool to get critical items that are essential for your current build but they didnāt drop as battle rewards.
If you are in need of Spare Parts you will now be able to scrap old items.
Before:
After:
Overheating and shutdown (also staggering & knockdown) got an improved warning notification that is very hard to miss (there is an annoying alarm sound as well).
Action Points were replaced by Energy, with some additions in form of different mech reactors and batteries.
Energy Capacity - a new stat that allows storing energy between turns - gets increased by installing more or better batteries.
Reactor overdrive - installing high-tech reactors on the mech will allow you to go into overdrive mode where you are no longer constrained by energy. You are pushing the reactor to its limits but this will generate a large amount of heat. If you can disperse it (or find some method to use it) you can turn your mech into a real beast.
We redrew old battle arenas to be more diverse. Prologue will feature first biom: Ganimedes desert that is split into areas:

Good day everyone,
I'm sorry for double post if you saw previous one, Valve changed my previous post to cross promotion post, which is pretty much hidden. I fixed problems and I'm reposting it as proper news
Another 2 months have passed, so time to tell you what was going on in October and November.
I have to admit that those 2 months have been very busy, but also very different from each other.
I will start with my latest updates to the game as they are fresh, and I wanted to share with you the effects. Currently, I am working on new mechs that will not only visually differ from each other, but will also have unique attributes. Here is a āBug Familyā:
If you look closely, you will notice that their names suggest what their role is.
Assault Bug - this mechās special feature is increasing the attack's power. What it means is that he will spend 1-2 turns to increase its attack power so that when it finally attacks you, its laser will cause more damage than the initial value.
Gamma Bug - Comes equipped with Gamma Laser, which will heat up your Mech.
Support Bug - Its role is healing up his companions. This enemy is usually not attacking you as its weapon is not that effective, but it is helping the other allied mechs to heal.
I currently plan to release the prologue around January 2022, the exact day is still to be determined.
Current features roadmap for prologue:
I hope in Decemberās diary I will be able to share more new upcoming features!

Going back to October - it was a month of gaining experience in physical events. I was hoping Covid-19 situation would not interfere with my plans, and the events would not be canceled like it was last year. Luckily, everything worked out.

Hello, my dearest followers,
It's about time to share the latest news about August/Septemberās work, events, and everything else that has happened to JMM.
In the coming weeks, I will release two demo updates. The first one will focus mostly on the quality of life changes like additional tooltips, text updates, and some bug fixes.
A second larger update will introduce new mechanics and more varied enemies.
When the second demo update is out, we will start preparing for beta release for free Prologue, you should expect closed beta signups for prologue around November.
Details of the changes.
New and improved tooltips
Frames with different body parts
Some mechs got unique frames that copy the actual presentation, eg. a large spider mech that has a skeleton that has four legs and torso split into three parts: front, left and right.
Some smaller mechs like small spiders will only have a single body part, and scout/stalker mech will only have arms and torso (this mech floats, donāt have legs).
Tactic cards
There will be new sets of yellow cards that will allow you to set mech tactics for a few turns. They will have a great impact on the battlefield with the option to counter tactics by using other specific tactics. For example, you can use ambush tactics to counter and gain bonus damage against enemies that use assault tactics.
Apart from standard gamedev work, please see what I have been through:
1. The Gamescom 2021/Indie Arena Booth - great stuff!!!
The event took place around a month ago and what I must say - for my game, this was the best event so far. We have appeared in the Awesome Indies category and that was very helpful in getting awareness among payers.
We have revealed our newest gameplay trailer with spider Mechs (for those of you who have not seen it yet, here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2RgvWF4oEY).
2. The GDWC Fan Favorite Weekly vote #26 - what a nice surprise!
In week 13-19th of September, my game was nominated with 8 other games to fans vote. Apparently, it turned out that Jupiter Moons: Mecha was so popular that it deserved a victory - my biggest thanks for your votes!
3. The Escapist Indie Showcase.
My game also took part in that event, it was a nice show with a bunch of great games. If you are interested in watching an interview with me, you may see it here: https://youtu.be/G5pIeLyx6Uk?t=1634
4. Best Indie Games - YouTube channel.
Last but not least - on 16th September there has been revealed a very subjective (but really kind to us) listing of TOP 10 BEST Upcoming Rogue-lite Deckbuilder Indie Games.
We are there as #1 - very cool, thanks! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZpRhsrPs8Y)
So whatās next:
In October 2021 we are going to focus on work! And physical events in Poland:
- PIXEL HEAVEN 2021 (Warsaw)
- PGA 2021 (PoznaÅ)
If you want to meet us, please join us there!
