Hey Gearheads! This is the first look at some of the things we're currently working on. I must say these are not currently implemented into the playable build, but they are on their way. So let's pull back the bay doors and take a look at what we're working on in this weeks Workshop Wednesday!

New Aiming Mechanic

One of the major developments in the works is an update to the Gear aiming mechanics. The new system introduces variable turn rates for a Gear’s head, torso, and arms. A Gear’s head, or view, will now move nearly on par with the mouse while the arms and torso chase to catch up with the reticle. While this increases the amount of time it takes to aim your weapons, this delay will help us differentiate Gears from each other and further make leveling and upgrades matter.

Eventually, as we define the rules of Gear weight, you will be able to overload the weight capacity for each specific part installed. For example: if you equip two Heavy Autocannons on a Cheetah you will feel the arms strain under the weight and not respond as quickly as compared to two Very Light Autocannons. In addition to different turn rates, each part will have its own range of motion. This means that larger Gears with more bulky armor may have less mobility than their less armored counterparts.

Further, the new system will allow us to consolidate and unify the Standard and Advanced control methods into a single system. Currently the two methods are being maintained as two separate systems, which is cumbersome and challenging when it comes to controls configuration. By unifying the systems, not only is it easier for the developers to maintain but will also make customizing your controls a simpler process. Check back next week for another look into the workshop!

The world of Heavy Gear Assault is unforgiving — but so is your lust for glory. As a pilot on the distant planet Terra Nova, you play the high-stakes game of competitive Gear Dueling. You earn fame and fortune by making a name for yourself on the arena floor. You stand out from the crowd by customizing the look and style of your Gear. You manage corporate sponsors, hire a support staff and fine-tune your Gear's performance in the Gear Bay. You rise to the top, claim your position — and with every cannon shell left in your magazines, you refuse to let go.

Heavy Gear Assault puts you in control of a multi-ton, humanoid war machine better known as a Gear. The peak of Terra Novan engineering, Gears feature a Rotary V-Engine, an advanced, compact and highly efficient internal combustion engine. For faster speeds, Gears are equipped with a Secondary Movement System (SMS) in the form of either wheels or treads under their feet. Armored with advanced composites and loaded with an assortment of weapons, Gears are the most advanced weapon platform available on Terra Nova.

It is up to you to manage and maintain your Gears on the arena floor and off. Customize, upgrade, and equip yours Gears exactly how you like. In combat, you’ll need to balance hydraulic and electric power to keep your Gear moving. Just remember, whether you eviscerate your enemy with relentless firepower or put a precision VibroKatana blade in their back, be sure to do it with style. After all, that's what your fans paid to see.
