A playable Mech has been one of the most popular player requests. It was also something I suspected might be slightly beyond my coding abilities.
Apparently, I decided to find out.
The video below shows the Mech materializing, opening its cockpit and being controlled by the player. My plan is for it to fight autonomously alongside you—or allow you to climb inside and pilot it yourself.
This feature is still under development and has not yet been added to the live version of the game. It may take some time, and the first version may contain a few bugs. Possibly even some exciting new ones.
But it’s working, and I now believe it will become part of the game.
