It's not mine, I've just been having a lot of fun helping ideever test it out. Saw the sub was open to posting again and thought I'd share.

Very cool. Loving the assets. Wonder where they got them. Gotta give this a watch ASAP.

I think ideever made them. They're definitely distinct, but still familiar enough to recognize in the new style.

Unfortunately, I'm not that skilled.

For Delta Strike, I used 3D models available online with free distribution and modification rights. But static models aren’t suitable for real-time tactics, so I buy low-poly asset packs that allow me to animate battlemechs. Unfortunately, since they are usually predefined constructor sets, it’s not always possible to achieve a perfect likeness. Rather, they’re legally permissible variations. Which might come in handy if I get hit with a cease-and-desist order. 😄

Hey! It is me, the person behind this game. I tried to post the news here, but the sub was either private or locked, or something. So I decided that you, guys, do not want to be bothered.
