Mech Mechanic Simulator - Dystopian Retrofitting Mechwarrior Rigs!

I was a Heavy equipment mechanic for 32 years and didn’t learn anything from a game. But I’m glad good things can come from games.

[@christophedlauer1443]

The way those limbs just come off without having to unscrew about 12 screws or remove a single bearing made me cringe a little.

20:18 "That much glass seems like a liability". Well, I know when I was still in the Marines, they told us that the glass in our up-armored humvees was rated higher than the armor plating on the vehicle against 'known ballistic threats'. Gotta love millitary jargon lol. Regardless, I'm guessing in the future that this could also be the case.

[@TheMonkey747]

Yeah, you can still see through busted glass, [kinda], but a dead screen is a dead screen.

This would be super fricking cool if they managed to get some licensing to get some mechs from other IPs, like Titanfall for example.

[@gaboderflinger7854]

Was thinking the same, that would be awesome!

[@Paddygtc]

Omg yes, I'd love to repair Titans

[@HighlyRegardted]

That would be awesome, if they did it Mech Warrior would be the way to go... Titanfall is def cool but it’s not a franchise like MW is with more then 30 years of history...

This is brilliant! The mechanic simulator formula is already successful and satisfying in its own right and flinging it in super technologic future with gorgeous mechs that's a whole other layer of awesome. I hope they really go wild on the models and QoL features, it's pretty fun as is but with more time and care it's going to be bonkers.

I wish there was a game like this connected to an actual mech combat game, so you could fight with it and then come back and repair the damage you took with your own hands.

[@CaptainPrincess]

there is a feature in there I hear where youre gonna build your own mech and I guess send it to do stuff so theres that... not quite the same but its a bit closer

[@Bozeman42]

"A nacelle is a "streamlined body sized according to what it contains", such as an engine, fuel, or equipment on an aircraft. When attached by a pylon entirely outside the airframe, it is sometimes called a pod, in which case it is attached with a pylon or strut and the engine is known as a podded engine."

[@ValkenOfAstora]

You know what would be interesting? A MechWarrior themed game where you do fight with the mechs, but also have to manually refit and repair your mechs. Maybe with a "automatic" repair system that just costs more but skips the actual work and replaces the damaged parts with parts that are the same but at 100% health.

[@TurboSke]

I played a racing game with that kind of idea in mind. Race like a madman and get your car damaged? You'll need to fix it... Unless you like racing with a broken car. The game was called «SRS» something.

[@d.aardent9382]

Reminds me of mech garage in old Armored Core 1 game for PS1. I did more changing around parts and weapons and running them in testing mode than actual playing through scenarios. This is kinda like if they did a Cyberpunk version where ya could just play technical people and you repaired cars and other vehicles or were a surgeon and did upgrades and repairs on cyberware or maybe were a building repairer and fixed all the damage that the roving groups of gangs and corporates were always causing allover the city. Lol

[@dwightyoung2291]

It's somewhat fun, but the parts are a bit too hard to remember what should be repaired or replaced, there should be more HUD on the repair screen

[@RuneKatashima]

It's easier than you thin since it simply highlights the previous/next part depending on what you're doing. Plus it'll be more intuitive and your brain works differently when you're the one hands-on than when you watch.

[@Aetrion]

A nacelle is the housing for any piece of equipment on an aircraft that is located outside of the fuselage.

I like mechs so much, I liked the video before watching

[@elricengquist9989]

I like the concept, though always prefered being the one piloting the mecha like in armored core or mechwarrior. Though a mech mmo based around the idea of making your mech out of different parts you buy from different corporations, find in missions, or salvage from mecha you defeat, than go on missions both for money/credits as well as gain rep/standing with different corps that make parts for the mechs or non corp groups in the world could be interesting.

[@dickiedavies6870]

That game looks great, hopefully the devs can add n mech packs from different sci fi or build your own mechs

[@Edramon53]

Should be a treadmill or something where you run the mech through some tests. Not sure how that fits in with having a scanner that tells you what's wrong, just would like to see the mech's move.

[@BIGESTblade]

[@Nodjia]

I feel like there is entire untapped market for "rebuild/construction" simulation games. I would imagine they could legitimately be useful training sims for real life applications. For example, car repair, engine build simulation, chemistry applications, cooking, metalwork, etc. Gamification drives interest in learning, and if done right these games could provide an in depth functional education for various aspects of life. Piloting simulators, driving sims for trucks and heavy transport, and computer building/fixing are all sim games that exist. I could easily see a vehicle repair sim being a huge untapped market, DLC models of cars/engines. Hell in a far-future that somehow isn't a corporate dystopia, we might even be able to use gamified sim learning and 3d printing to take care of many repair and construction needs.

[@ZedF86]

It may sound very one-dimensional, but I was rather impressed by World of Guns on steam. From what I can tell, they get the rights to the designs for various guns and model them accurately down to the smallest parts for disassembly and reassembly. It can be rather overwhelming when trying to take apart a weapon that has hundreds of parts, but it's surprisingly informative and zen-like. Sadly, their business model is very much pay-to-play. It's a free download, but to unlock new guns you either buy them or have to disassemble and reassemble the same model hundreds of times. The concept is out there though, and WoG does have simulated models of various vehicles and even dinosaur and human skeletons.

[@Nodjia]

@@ZedF86 I don't think it sounds one dimensional at all. It seems like a bit of a predatory business model, but as I noted above the potential for dlc content for a "builder engine" is fairly unlimited. Guns are just another mechanical thing, just like cars or airplanes or manufacturing devices, or even anatomy. If we can represent the object in an interactive 3d environment and break it down into it's component parts, people can learn from it while also being a form of entertainment. It's kind of a really cool concept.
