Hello everyone and welcome back to yet another "What's Next" post of M.A.S.S. Builder update, this time looking towards 0.12.0. While 0.11.x is still being worked on with bug fixing, we'd like to announce what we'll bring to the game in 0.12.0 this week. In 0.12.0, there will be two main focus points we will be looking at.
First, it's completing the story. With the latest mission, our story comes close to an end and we'd like to finish it by 0.12.0. We won't spoil the final missions here but it's going to be two more missions until that point. This means the final battle against extremely dangerous Quarks await and we hope you'll have fun tuning your M.A.S.S. units in wait for that mission.
The reason we'd like to do this is to finish up work on one aspect of the game so we can work on other important aspects that we haven't had time to dedicate onto yet. One such thing is multiplayer. We hope we can continue working on it by 0.13.0 but that's another story in the future that we'll talk about when time comes.
Now, onto the other focus point of 0.12.0 which we think would excite you more than the above focus point. Something we call... M-A-S-S. That's the game name isn't it? Well, this time we're abbreviating from the words "Mecha Asset Sharing System" and not the usual one! What does it do? What's the system? It's something requested and something we've planned to do since the ideation of M.A.S.S. Builder and with the game's customization system at this point of completion, we think it's the best time to do it.
However, we're still unsure of how the system will come out. It's still in the design phase as we don't want to half-bake a system like this. It must be easy to use. It must be intuitive to export/import builds. It must be something that can satisfy most of you players, the community of builders of the game, and it must be able to make you feel happy to have. With that said, we will be updating you all about the system as it's being created, and we'll be extremely grateful if you can provide suggestions and concerns about the system through out discord.
That's all for today. See you next WIP!
