Patch 3 - 10/13/2021

Hey MekaRiders, it's been quite a while! With my time away for 1 month due to me being affected by Ida (I had no power for that duration) and then another month without internet, I've tried to get a lot accomplished in that time period. I think I did okay for the most part, but I was also working on other things. Without further ado, let's get into it.

Features and Content

NEW MEKA:

James and JK1, the Dawning Shadows Abilities:

Innate - Intuitive Domain: Upon going into Dark Barrier, increase your total stats for the duration that Dark Barrier is active.
Active - Dark Barrier: James and JK1 place a Barrier in an small area that nothing can leave for 10 seconds. Enemies in this area are forced to fight their way out of it. If they deal 30% of the persons casting this health, the barrier is destroyed immediately. James and JK1 can recast this ability with the same button that they used to activate it, in order end Dark Barrier early. If James and JK1 die while casting this, the Barrier will stay up until the time runs out.

NEW MEKA:

Gerard and AM3, the Widowmakers Abilities:

Innate - Kiss Of Death/Spider's Agility:
- Kiss Of Death: Greatly reduces the cooldown of Spider's Bite, but each subsequent use within 12 seconds will increase the amount of Power needed by 55% each use.
- Spider's Agility: Gerard and AM3 jump higher and move quicker.
Active - Spider's Bite: Gerard and AM3 shoot a venomous line, hitting the first Meka and damaging it. The damage is based on 12% of the target's max health and 12% of your missing health.

NEW MAP:

Paradiso, Tropics - An island known simply to the world as, The Island of Paradise. What secrets does it hold that the world has yet to find?

NEW SKIN RARITY SYSTEM:

Different skins will now have different rarities and the prices associated with them will vary. The list below will also be on a dedicated button in-game.

Common - 300 MekaTokens
Uncommon - 600 MekaTokens
Rare - 1200 MekaTokens
Very Rare - 1500 MekaTokens
Ultra Rare - 1800 MekaTokens
ICONIC (Limited Edition Skins)- 2100 MekaTokens
Event Skins - 1800 Tokens (with a discount while that event is ongoing!)
LEGENDARY Skins - 2400 MekaTokens.

That is the current list we are going with, but please note this is all subject to change as I finalize everything in place.

LOADING SCREENS UPDATED:

Loading Screens now have randomized tips, some of which can help you out with the way some Mekas work or just give some lore about Mekas and the game as you wait to get into your next match.

LOGIN SCREEN CHANGES:

The login screen now is animated, rotating around the Mekas that are visible instead of being static. Also, it now features a randomizing rotation of the Mekas you see on the Login Screen. Note: You may see the same Meka duplicated as that's how the system works.

UPCOMING LINUX CHANGES:

In future builds, we'll be natively supporting Linux since Easy Anti-Cheat now supports Linux and Proton. This will also serve as a base to help out with Steam Deck support in the future rather than using Proton for it. BUG FIXES:

Fixed an issue where the Game Server Status would not update properly in-game.

Cheers and see you soon! Austin James

Foreword: The game is under heavy development and is very much a work in progress. It's being developed by one person currently and will take quite a bit of time to perfect and get right!

Thanks for even considering to support the game and cheers!

MekaFighters is a retro-stylized third-person shooter where you take control of a Meka Rider and their Meka as countries clash against one another in wars to maintain dominance in the world. Battle out against other players and emerge victorious outplaying and skillfully using your abilities to defend, attack, and destroy enemy mekas!

CURRENT FEATURES:

OUTPLAY YOUR OPPONENTS
With multiple Mekas (Characters) to play as, you have multiple opportunities to outsmart your opponents using Jet Propulsion or use each Mekas Unique Active ability.
RETRO STYLED GRAPHICS
Inspired by retro games, we use a bunch of flat colors and try to not have shadows and make every scene in the game popout.
TAKE ON OPPONENTS
In MekaFighters, we feature gamemodes where you can 1v1 somebody or team up with another player and face off against another 2 players! With even more gamemodes to come!
EVER-GROWING MEKA LIST(Updated whenever a new Meka is added!)
- Wendy and JICE, the Light Bringers, can shoot a devastating beam of light that passes through everything it hits and upon contact with an enemy deals some damage and if enemies don't exit the beam the damage is increased. Also, for each bullet they hit on an enemy, they deal additional damage.
- Sed and SAIRO, the Shadow Fighters, can enter stealth for some time and then upon exiting gain the ability to shoot a laser shadow that deals tremendous damage upon contact. Sed and SAIRO also gain an increased fire rate and whenever entering stealth, gain bonus movement speed.
- Nika and TERA, the Earth Users, can manifest a rock and throw it towards an enemy dealing damage based on distance traveled. Nika and TERA also passively have more damage, movement speed, and more resistances.
- Khaleed and ZHEN, the Red Barons increase their damage output for a short duration and whenever they are low on health gain additional resistances for a short time before it goes on cooldown.
- James and JK1, the Dawning Shadows increase their stats when their active ability, Dark Barrier is ongoing. Dark Barrier places a barrier in a small area that lasts for a few seconds, or whenever a certain amount of damage is dealt to them.
- Gerard and AM3, the Widowmakers tremendously decrease their active ability's cooldown at a cost of increasing the resources needed to use it as well as jump significantly higher and move faster. Their active ability is a projectile that deals damage based off of how much their target's max health is and Gerard and AM3's missing health.
