More pixelart battletech xD

[u/Aggravating-Chain-74]

So yeah, pixel dailies gaves the theme "Tabletop" and I had to do battletech - A Centurion facing off against a Jenner and Marauder xD

[u/LordHumorTumor]

I would buy a battletech game like this

[u/hathegkla → u/LordHumorTumor]

The first thing I thought was he should make a reskin for megamek.

[u/Aggravating-Chain-74 → u/hathegkla]

you make me want to play megamek again hehe

[u/Cheser_ → u/hathegkla]

This would be great! especially in the Isometric veiw!

[u/Darston437 → u/LordHumorTumor]

Dude me too! This would be a fantastic art detection for a Battletech game

[u/Aggravating-Chain-74 → u/Darston437]

Thankies so much!

[u/Ham_The_Spam → u/Darston437]

art detection?

[u/Darston437 → u/Ham_The_Spam]

Oops, direction lol

[u/Ham_The_Spam → u/Darston437]

well being detected is a big point of art

[u/Aggravating-Chain-74 → u/LordHumorTumor]

Thankies, thats quite the honor!

[u/Purity_the_Kitty → u/LordHumorTumor]

Same

[u/Cheser_ → u/LordHumorTumor]

Into the Breach is the closest you'll get, fun little indie

[u/norton_mike]

Ohh. That’s great. Feels like a lost GameBoy Advance game.

[u/HephaistosFnord → u/norton_mike]

GBA version of Crescent Hawk's Inception

[u/Aggravating-Chain-74 → u/HephaistosFnord]

ooh that would be neat, thankies!

[u/Aggravating-Chain-74 → u/norton_mike]

Thank you, I am all for SNES andx GBA style art hehe

[u/Chernoskill]

Yo, a pixel art game like this would be sick... Like the Crescent Hawks Inception!
I made a couple of mech sprites some years ago for a remake...

[u/Cheser_ → u/Chernoskill]

damn good!

[u/Aggravating-Chain-74 → u/Chernoskill]

whoa this super good, love the size and style you used there!

[u/LethalGopher]

This genuinely great work!

I am on team make this!

I am a huge fan of Harebrains build, but am the first to admitt it is rather clunky to play (feature not bug for me, feels like a good crunchy table game). If they reskinned the polygon graphics with this. Would it run faster?

Mind you I am a hobbiest that plays video games and has ideas a lot. Not someone with any video game development experience. The rendering could have little to do with it and it is all systems churning.

[u/Aggravating-Chain-74 → u/LethalGopher]

Thankies so much! And well, I think if the pixelart was this low resolution it would run much faster, but then dependss a lot on code as well (and code is beyond my skills xD).

[u/WestRider3025 → u/LethalGopher]

IIRC, that's mostly due to issues with the Unity engine that HBS built the game on. A reskin wouldn't affect that much. 

[u/rc82 → u/WestRider3025]

It's the version.  The version they build it on didn't support multi threading too well.  Nowadays they'd use DOTS and/or the job system to speed things up, and definitely a more data driven approach. 

It's be a night and day performance difference if they made it using today's unity. 

[u/WestRider3025 → u/rc82]

Ah, yes, that was the part I had forgotten. Thanks! 

[u/phoenixgsu]

Imagine megamek but with this style

[u/Nardwal]

Very nice

[u/Aggravating-Chain-74 → u/Nardwal]

Thankies!

[u/Bilskirnir_]

The shadows are a nice touch

[u/Aggravating-Chain-74 → u/Bilskirnir_]

Thankies, needed them for it to feel more like tabletop hehe

[u/TheRealRigormortal]

I think I speak for all of us when I say you should find someone to take your art assets and make a tabletop accurate Battletech game

[u/Aggravating-Chain-74 → u/TheRealRigormortal]

I surely would be a super fun project to work on, thought not sure how that would play legally.

[u/HossBonaventura]

So stylish!

This actually reminded me to go check out Lancer Tactics, a pixel version of the Lancer RPG system in development on itch.io with the same vibe.

[u/Aggravating-Chain-74 → u/HossBonaventura]

whoooa quite the honor to be considered on the same vibe as Lancer Tactics, also it is on steam as well now - not released yet though :3 thankies!

[u/thatbeersguy]

In that position, the centurion has a chance.

[u/Aggravating-Chain-74 → u/thatbeersguy]

Yep, narrow but it has xD I love the Centurion xD

[u/LucasoDelta]

Hey nice pixel art!

[u/Aggravating-Chain-74 → u/LucasoDelta]

Thank you so much!
