Hey everyone! I’m back with a little status update on what I’m working on right now for Magnate.

New Mechs

As you can see most of you have voted in the previous poll, with Cyber winning. So I made 3 cyber themed mechs to be added to the game!

Plus 3 mechs by @InvalidProject are being added to the game! Thanks a lot!

Finally I am making a new mech variant. These mechs are really powerful. I’ll leave what this variant of mechs could be up for speculation.

World 2

I know there has been a lot of people excited about world 2 and I won’t disappoint with the enemies and the lore. I won’t post any images, because I want to keep it a secret.
However I’ll leave you guys with this: The lore gets much deeper and more secrets will be uncovered about the story of the world.

New Game Modes

I was considering adding a few new game modes to the game. Like an endless game mode, similar to the spire, but you can use the mech you selected. Maybe a boss rush game mode too? Who knows?

Final Note

Well that’s it for this little progress update on the game. Thank you all for the support this game has been getting! It’s really great. Make sure to look out for the second update. It might come out this week, or early next week!

Yup I saw that bug and I’m fixing it. This game has a lot of little annoying bugs that are being fixed. The next update is almost done, it should be fixed by then.

Hello everyone! I’m so sorry for not releasing the update when I promised. The update had a few problems and I have some real life things going on. The update will definitely be released this week. Here are some random lore drops for you as an apology:

Yeah I’ve noticed that and tried to make it so it doesn’t blend in too much. It’s hard when I’m limited to a few colors. Anyways thanks for the nice comment about the game!

Hey everyone! Update for Magnate.
I present to you:

Update 1.05

th

What’s included in this update?

  • 9 new mechs
  • a new mech type
  • a new move type
  • big bug fixes
  • easter eggs
  • minor spire fixes

Here, I will go into further detail about what was added:

New Mechs

As you guys have previously voted, you guys like cyber theme, so I made some cyber themed mechs!
e h um an
There are also these guys… (I wonder if they are important to lore hmmmm)

There are also 3 mechs made by @InvalidProject not shown here. Thanks Invalid!

New Mech Variant

As some of you may have seen from earlier I have posted about this earlier

Now, I will finally tell you all what make this new variant so special.
This Shifter variant of mechs can turn into a stronger, more powerful form
iv e i
Now, you may be asking how they do this? This is where the new move type comes into play.

“Seal Break” is a move only the shifter variant of mechs have. It does not damage the enemy and only has one use. Using it triggers the transformation of a shifter mech into it’s more powerful form. Doing so drastically increases the health and attack power of your mechs moves.
Finally, because these mechs are on the really powerful side, they will most of the time be expensive, so if you eventually want to get your hands on one, save up!

Future plans?

I’ll just leave it at that and let some hype build up.

Final Notes

I know this update was on the smaller side, I have just been busy with sports, school, and other things related to it. Finally, I know the hype around World 2 has been getting bigger and I wanted to talk about it for it bit. World 2 will get deeper into the lore and will answer some questions you may have right now. It hasn’t been released yet because I want to make sure to make the best story for you guys as possible.

Thank you guys so much for playing this game, I never thought it would get this popular. I know it’s a pretty generic thing to say but I really mean it: This game would not be here where it is right now without you. If this game didn’t preform well I would’ve scrapped it and moved on. But you guys give me all the reason not to do that. Thank you.

Ambulens Armigus!
(feel free to mess with the sprite)
epic rarity
hp 500
def 30
cost 400-ish
(if you think the moves are too powerful, make them weaker. it’s supposed to be a tougher mech with weaker moves than average.)
Moves:
slam 10 (16 uses)
[Y] Crush 40 (5 uses)
Bolt 20 (10 uses)
[ X ] Repair 20 (5 uses)

Lore:
This mech was originally used to move cargo, but its designers found that it was also good in combat due to its sturdy armor.

that’s all

for now…
