- Gifs from my folder - 5 April 2026
Hey Pilots! Sometimes I record gifs while we’re working on new features. I was just looking through my gif folder and thought, why not dump it here? Keep in mind none of these features have been tested or balanced yet, so they will probably change. By the way, I'll occasionally post these in the Discord as I record them. Join us if you want early peeks at what we're working on! It's also a great place to find other players in the Alpha demo. OK, here's a bunch of gifs of WIP content! Dash attack Makes melee standoffs more dynamic. Taunt A little boost if you're outnumbered. Chaos Sudden death if time runs out. Missile Direction Choose where your missiles spawn.

- Release Timeline Change, Equipment Preview, and Other Stuff - 22 September 2025
Hey Pilots! Here’s a progress update for Mecha Simultactics, and a preview of some upcoming mech equipment and features that will be available in the full version. Release DateFirst off, the release has been postponed. Development is progressing well, and there are no roadblocks standing in our way. We simply need more time to work on the game. We don’t want to rush things just to meet an arbitrary deadline. Thank you for your understanding and support! Sign up for the newsletter to get notified when the full game is released. Mech Equipment There are several different types of equipment. In this preview I’ll show main weapons, and some “EX” equipment. As usual, this is WIP content.

- Preview: New Mechs (And More) - 4 June 2025
Hey Pilots! Here's a preview of some upcoming features like new mechs, sudden death, manual practice mode, new combat abilities, and the Mech Creator with Steam Workshop support. This is an early look at features that are still work in progress, so a few things might change between now and release. Also, the alpha was just updated with a new map! Check out the new map here. New Mechs Here's the first batch of mechs planned for release. We want to make a lot of different mechs. So, after release, we plan to add even more mechs. Havoc SP100 "Spider" The SP100 Spider by Havoc Labs, manufacturer of unconventional mechs. The Spider can climb and mount to walls allowing it to attack from a distance like a turret. Titan G-Proto "GZero" The GZero is a mech from Titan Industry's G-Series. Its unbound momentum provides increased speed at the cost of endurance. It also has a powerful Charge Beam a…
- New map: Cliffside (v0.10 Release Notes) - 4 June 2025
Hey Pilots! We’ve been so busy working on the game I forgot to post news for the past… 5 months?! Rest assured we are still here working very hard, every day. There's a lot to talk about, so I split this update into two parts. In this post I’ll show some of the new things just added to the Alpha. In part two, I'll show a few things we’re working on for the full release (spoiler: new mechs). Release Notes Version 0.10 (Changelog) You can play this update for free in the Mecha Simultactics Alpha. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2898880/Mecha_Simultactics_Alpha New Map - Cliffside That’s right, a smaller map! In Cliffside, running away is far less effective, and the risk of ring-outs adds a new challenge. New Ability - Vent Added a new ability, Vent, which repairs your mech and pushes enemies away. This depletes your Guts, so it should only be used in dire moments. Gameplay Changes You…
- Networking Improvements (v0.9 Release Notes) - 20 December 2024
Hey Pilots, Just released a small update to improve the prevention and handling of timeouts, disconnects, and desync. Desync should occur much less often now. Please let me know if you encounter any issues! -RJ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2898880/Mecha_Simultactics_Alpha

Spectate You can now spectate the battle while you wait if you join a lobby mid-m…

- Verticality, Battle UI, and Custom Maps - 4 June 2024
Hey Pilots! Since the last update I’ve been working on several features for Mecha Simultactics. I implemented the vertical axis, improved the battle UI, and added features to the map editor. Verticality The vertical axis opens up a ton of strategic possibilities. I have finally implemented elevation, allowing you to climb the terrain and fall down if you jump or get knocked off a ledge. Battle UI I’ve been working on improving the battle HUD. We have not created graphics for it yet, but I improved the layout and added necessary information like a minimap, targeted player info, and selected attack information. Also, you can now see characters and the grid behind walls. Custom Maps Up until now the map editor was very janky. Well, It’s still janky. But slightly less so. Map data is now saved in a shareable format so you can share maps with other players. Steam Workshop is not implemented…
