It's over...
Hello everybody! After almost 3 years of silence I wanted to be honest with you and let you know that Mech Marines has officially been abandoned and will be removed from the store soon... There are multiple reasons for that. Some of them are personal but there has also been a lac

Update #5: ICBM (Intercontinental ballistic missile)
Hello everyone, After some holidays, we are back! And we proudly present the ICBM (Intercontinental ballistic missile): The ICBM is the most powerful weapon in Mech Marines and is used to break the enemy lines when the defense of your opponent is too strong. However, the building

Hello everyone,
In the latest update we have fixed several bugs, improved the AI a little bit and added a new island.
Bug fixes / changes:

Singleplayer: Back to main menu is working now
Singleplayer: MG turrets fire on mechs again
Singleplayer: Mines will explode when mechs are dropped on them
Singleplayer: AI with difficulty "Hard" or "Ultra" will now attack MG turrets when being targeted by them
Singleplayer: When attacking with mechs, the AI mechs will now try to actively "hunt down" your mechs instead of just standing there
Singleplayer: Removed the attack cost multiplier (it is still there in multiplayer)
When attacking with your mechs/dropship, the enemy buildings should now reveal correctly on the 2D map
Mechs will move closer to the buildings they are attacking
Range of the MG turret was reduced slightly
You can now remove ruins and clear dirt tiles by selecting a building from the menu and clicking multiple times on the same tile
The classic scroll mode is scrolling faster now and it should be a little bit smoother
In addition to the mouse scrolling modes you can now also scroll with the keyboard (W,A,S,D or arrow keys)
Added a new island: "The Hill" ;)
We hope you will enjoy it :)
Best regards,
the ByteTrail-Team

Update #3: Singleplayer A.I. and Trading Cards
Hello everyone, We are glad to announce the first bigger update that comes with a new A.I. opponent with multiple difficulty levels. In addition, we have created 5 Trading Cards for Mech Marines. Those will be available very soon. To play against the A.I. just click on "Singlepla

Hello everyone,
While we are still working on the AI and singleplayer we have also tweaked some multiplayer things:
We have added a new map based on feedback from Preidon and decided to call it "Preidon Islands" ;) Additionally, we have optimized the maps "Desert Storm" and "Island 1".
The match screen (where players connect to each other) is now implemented as a tab. This makes it possible to switch between the lobby chat and the match screen anytime.
And finally, the following bugs have been fixed:

Damage of mech weapons adjusted (MG, Cannon)
Damage of MG Turret adjusted
Increased AA (anti air) range against Dropships
Improved colliders on "Island 2" (water holes)
Fixed problems with the selection of the mech station
When mechs are placed automatically, mines should no longer explode immediately. They will explode after all mechs have been placed.
Weapon sounds should no longer loop endlessly.
Added sound notifications in the lobby when the application window is out of focus or minimized.
Temporary solution: Made the lobby optional because some players had problems connecting to the lobby server.
And a few smaller bug fixes..
Best regards,
the ByteTrail-Team

A group to announce your games or your willingness to play Mech Marines :)
Hello everybody. Maybe you've realized that the gamelobby is often empty. A player had the idea that we could create a group where you can join and announce if you have opened a room or if you would like to play. Let's try if it works. This is only a temporary solution until the

Update #1 - Version 0.9.0.1 - Lobby / Chat

Hello everyone,
In version 0.9.0.1 we have added a global chat / lobby where all players are able to chat with each other before they create any games. When a game is started, a link will be automatically posted to the chat. Other players will be able to click on the link and immediately join the game.
We have also fixed some other bugs:

Fire effects on buildings should now be less GPU-consuming
Added a join and chat notification sound to started games (when waiting for other players to join). We may change the sound in the future.
When a game is starting, the UI is now displaying the correct number of bases you have to place.
Mechs should no longer walk into deep water holes on the second island.
The "Back to Main Menu" button after a game was replaced with a "Continue" button. After clicking on continue, the players are still connected and will be able to start a new game or leave the game.
We have reduced the damage of the cannon against buildings and improved the damage against mechs a little bit.
We have reduced the radius for AA defense when attacking with the mechs (dropship). This means that only AA towers in front of the dropship will fire.
We are going to focus on singleplayer in the next few days / weeks. However, multiplayer bugs will still be fixed.
Thanks for all the good ideas, suggestions and reviews so far!
Best regards,
the ByteTrail-Team
