MechaKnights - Medieval Pacific Rim game in development!

[@ummonarquistaqualquer7094]

ARMORED SOUL IS REAL!!!

[@eugenechelovechniy]

you about Frame Gride?

[@Maljurok]

It just occurred to me that a great effect to give the mechs would be to add heavyish plumes of smoke to the thrusters, especially if the thrusters are fueled by black powder.

[@thinker787]

I'm sorry but the giant helmet looks eay too goofy.

[@ObsoletePerson]

@@thinker787 Embrace the goof.

[@genericogeronimo2163]

​@@ObsoletePersonexactly that, and also there's a lot of mechs that are basically just heads like the ones on Sakura wars and mashin hero wataru.

[@TheSentinelStone]

⁠@@genericogeronimo2163 don’t forget Granzort as well.

[@labbit35]

It should emit smoke normally when it’s walking and emit extra when doing some wide stances

Titanfall community has Diesel Knights, now the Pacific Rim community has MechaKnights

[@Gaussprimeizcool]

Titanfall is still a gem of a game CANT convince me otherwise

Or a armored giant troll. Or a aggressive cyclop! :D

@@SoldierofMarshall41 noted :)

[@SoldierofMarshall41]

@@AnimanicksAh, thank you very much! ❤️😁 Can't wait to see!

[@alexandrepv]

Absolutely superb! I love the design and the movement! If I could make one constructive criticism: Try to keep the knight in frame at all times. Look at how other action-based games like Armored Core do it, maybe it might shed some light on the subject :)

[@lenoxavalon3051]

Depending on how the game works/how development goes, id love to see other mechaknights as either npc's or alternative characters(especially if they have different designs and/or mechanics based on other common knight helms. maybe a jousting knight that moves faster forward and has a charge but might have more limited side to side movement? maybe a more heavly armored, slower knight based off of bucket helms?) Even if not I'm already very fascinated!

[@jacextreme6432]

The jousting knight could have forward-facing rockets, too!

[@BruhBot-jp8ev]

OH THIS LOOKS SICKK edit: as a fellow animator, I absolutely adore the weight and heaviness you added to the knight's movements

[@kaden-sd6vb]

god that juicy hitstop the monster hunter part of my brain is very happy now give us Switch Axe and Charge Blade

[@SoldierofMarshall41]

If there'll be a basic enemie, I'd like to see it being a evil rock golem. :)

[@Animanicks]

@@SoldierofMarshall41 cool :)

[@SoldierofMarshall41]

@Animanicks . Thank you. ❤ 🤗 🗡🗿

[@Germania9]

If it's going to be like a medieval version of MechAssault, complete with destructible castles & towers, I'm in.

[@heshmaraeonabingosa3219]

Holy knights this suits real you better be ready for me

[@chillax319]

Can't say how gameplay will feel but the aesthethics are there already. Cell shading and the heavy feel to the mech without making them cumbersome is amazingly done.

[@red_stud]

It would make sense for humans to run away from the knight and not in random directions. It will be awesome if the number of people you kill effect the score at the end, the lesser you kill the better

[@red_stud]

Wait! My idea got noticed. This means one thing and one thing only.

[@red_stud]

Also it would be much better if you use a picture of the mecha knight

"Shakespeare Wars" Just add team of singing girls as pilot and its complete And theater too

[@Its-Kurb]

This looks awesome! An ability or weapon that can parry/perfect block would be sick, similar to Monster Hunter: Wilds' Offset Rising Slash on the Greatsword. Can't wait to see more :D

[@lucasmendoza7576]

I'd like to see a weapon that's a drill-bit lance and a shield.

[@CyphersBasement]

The Knight character could use a movement ability that shoots the blades at enemies like arrows/ballistas, but have a tether of some kind, allowing the Knight to use his rocket packs in conjunction with the tether retracting!

[@lucasmendoza7576]

Something similar with a flail or ball-and-chain would be cool too.

[@royalrampage4643]

I like that it's a giant helmet with arms, legs and thrusters. Kinda reminds me of Gundam SD & Granbelm

[@Animanicks]

@@royalrampage4643 yea :)

[@KoeK_oe]

Looks like a very unique kaiju game! I can't wait to play

Well done! Keep pushing your ideas, looks awesome! Cinematic and a real gameplay feels like a really good idea to present story, characters and game mechanics.

This looks really good man!!!!? Can’t wait for it to come out!!!

[@darkreflection9087]

Imagine a collab with Dinoblade that be f$&king awesome

[@ElPerroFachero]

MechaDinoKnights Fucking robotic dinosaurs with medieval esthetic, giant weapons and this sick graphics 🚬🗿

[@ElPerroFachero]

Diesel knights also can be a great colaboration, those 3 can make an awesome game 🤩

[@nobodyinparticular9640]

MechaKnight vs the demonic red lego pieces Lol, jokes aside, your project looks dope, hope to see it fully realized!

[@monster_fiz_the_story_lover]

Archmagos Dominus Belisarius Cawl would want to have a word with you, in positive way.

[@comradechair1618]

Wishlisted right away, looks incredible!

[@lucasmendoza7576]

You got my attention! This game looks really cool! I could see the MechaKnight having interchangeble weapons and armor with different stats and designs. A rocket-powered war hammer A pole-arm like a spear or halberd for sweeping strikes. A rapid-fire crossbow A drill-bit lance and shield A ball and chain that can grapple would be cool as well

[@justanothercommenterwithan9089]

looks great like the art direction gives a nice blend behind feeling likee your in a tale of old with the cell shading giving the vibes of story books and tapestries while the mechaknight still feels like a behemoth of steel and stone.

[@rancelopez6431]

All i needed to see were "Pacific Rim" to get hooked.

[@SarpSerter]

LOOKS AMAZINGG

[@ChromaSoul]

Looks amazing! Instantly wishlisted

[@crypteck-h4c]

man this is really cool, amazing concept! and if i can give a little idea, is that there are a bunch of moments in the animation of the knight where it is sliding forward you should add sparks coming from the feets.

[@Chai_302]

T H I S is how you make a trailer of this kind insta wish-list keep up the good work!

[@lordofgamelordofgame4093]

Wishlisted and excited to see how the game will progress

[@lordofgamelordofgame4093]

Also signed up for the patreon, can't wait till its ready

[@trollman_2345]

This looks like it's going to be an INCREDIBLY fun spectacle fighter/warriors like game. Godspeed.

[@RG-yt6wn]

Super cool concept and the gameplay looks fun as hell! Definitely going to keep an eye on it!

[@biscuithammer00]

This looks really great. I dig what you're going for here.

[@pedrocastro5514]

amazing work so far!! :D love the design of the mechaknight!! :D

[@BLKDEVX]

This is incredibly creative and a really neat take on mecha

[@dmaa88]

I like the heavy stomping when he walks, gives the animation a lot of weight, feels like a true mecha, same with the attack animations. Maybe add some camera wobble/sway when walking/running to sell that sense of weight even more?

[@jubapuba]

For justice and honor! letsgoooooooooo!

[@snaplordmeep6748]

It’s the game I didn’t know I needed and now I want

[@madmen6544]

This is going to be awesome! I hope in the game you get mech suit and weapon customization and different abilities/weapons.

[@Qwark909]

Great video. Gotta say the intro alone got me wanting to buy this. So sick

[@x5132]

Hahah fitting name. Needs a huge cape so it is Mecha-Metaknight.

[@jack0lantern03]

Just one thing for the sense of scale: You guys have to make the pavement/ground much smaller-looking. After all, pavement is laid by humans, for human use. Pavement stones as big as the mech's foot, when the much smaller peasants are running around, makes for a big break in the suspension of disbelief once one notices the discrepancy. Still though, I'm excited for your game!

[@GREYF0X]

Loving what I see! The Escaflowne fan in me is shaking with excitement!

[@alexisbagacina6401]

This reminds me of sakura wars but set in a western medieval era ❤

[@GenJuhru]

Ohw, will there be "Houses" or other kingdoms that join in sporting Greek, Samurai or those famous design themed helmets?

[@Animanicks]

@@GenJuhru yeaa :)

[@KingFourth]

I'm extremely curious to see more mech designs! Especially if they are all equipped with some sort of melee weapon. A skinnier polearm combatant or a bulkier mace wielder. Some enemies that could be cool to see are some eldritch horrors! Not specifically cthulu but maybe something similar. Like an Elder Brain that telekenetically throws buildings and rubble at you.

[@CristianDavid-d4q]

Bro is cooking. Good job man keep it up

[@aricohen5960]

I'm a little late, but amazing work, both for the game and this video! -DJC

[@GenralG7]

Wishlisted! Cant wait!

[@andrasbonitz3491]

Cool concept. It looks great. Please give us a demo once you are ready. Also, if the demo is in beta or WiP please indicate that.

[@Amnogus]

yes, it's very good, I saw that animation a long time ago and it would be nice if there was an animated series or a game in the current style with drawings, it's already here, it's very cool

[@bluboom2534]

COOLLLLLLLLLLLLL I PRAY THAT YOUR GAME COMES TOGETHER NICELY GOOD JOB BRO

[@Gnarlak]

Camera shake is cool but does every step need it 😅

[@RG-yt6wn]

I dunno. Subjective take but I like it on the steps. I think it's subtle enough to not be distracting. Might try dialing it back on the sword swing impacts just to maintain visual readibility in combat.

[@andrewowens4421]

I'll wait patiently to see where this is going. But it definitely has caught my interest.

[@TheAscael]

I think that each individual stone on the floor is too big. Making it feels unnatural that the stone floor managed to be that flat. Comparing them with the size of the people also feels off. This is just a small detail nitpick though.

[@Animanicks]

@@TheAscael yea, you right :)

[@fishyfish1917]

Look at him go! He really do be destroying those red rectangular prisms

[@Baghdad_Bill]

Some sparks and grinding as he slides would look great. An awesome foundation, the MechaKnight already looks and feels weighty.

[@Explodia-x2g]

This game has almost all of my favorite things in fiction

[@pian-0g445]

Holy cow. The weight of the animation and character physics is amazing.

[@anzullic]

The art style is siickk. I'm looking forward to the game!

[@spartanvenom5388]

The boost animation ms look so cool!

[@brandonjacksoon]

[@PootisMayo]

[@cwtheking3771]

Its a solid idea, make it to release and you have my buy.

[@cedracks3637]

I love how it’s basically a giant helmet with arms and legs

[@MardaxGames]

I like the unique art style :D

[@holy_joe]

that model of the mecha.... it's giving me a ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWER! vibes

[@vicenteveragarasapiain]

[@anhtunguyen781]

thiis looks like a masterpiece in work

[@Daniellevy789]

Can you make Comic Story of is Project! Days 11

[@saudalotaibi6369]

I watch your old video and I thought is worth a shot animation or just for fun, and after that I wish if there’s a person make it to a game and surprise you actually make it to a game and I hope it’s have a good mechanic❤

[@RedSunUnderParadise]

If FS won't give us Frame Gride then this Madlad will.

[@pixelboss4980]

I love how much weight these mecha have , it feels way more realistic than amored core which just looks like ninja gaiden with robot skin and boosters

[@chaosmachines934]

aw looks cool nice too see that you use UE for it.

[@darkreflection9087]

Clicked the moment I saw the video in my notifications it’s awesome that’s this is becoming a game

[@LutherWilken32]

it looks so freaking epic, make a teaser asap please !!!!

[@JShel14]

HE'S SO CHUNKY I LOVE IT!

[@Isteak80]

oh wow the mechs are a lot bigger than I first thought they were haha

[@dantealighieri4543]

*KZbin did it's magic with my previous comment, so I'll copy and paste again since everything in the trailer looks really cool and I want this game to be an amazing experience.* So far the game looks with lots of potential, I really like the art style and the idea behind it. In terms of moves I'd add and stinger attack (Devil May Cry) with one blade at high speed drived by the thrusters, bare hands melee combat just like at the beginning of the trailer since the mech have big fists, and maybe the ability of performing some special attacks when the enemies are staggered like graving the dragon by the tail to tossed it around, slamming it to the ground, a rising dragon like in Street Fighter, etc. And also I'd recommend looking into games such as Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, and God of War to get some moveset ideas that could be applied to the mechs. Last thing, I know the game is in very early stages of development but still this is something that should be taken into account later in development, music is extremely important and should be done carefully just like sound effects, the games I mentioned previously in terms of moveset also have a really good soundtrack and sound effects that adds a lot to the experience, so keep that in mind. To finish, I say this not with the intentions of offending but as feedback, the music in the trailer on the Steam page sounds like AI (no offenses intended), and to be fair I could be entirely wrong about that, but music is also an integral part of the experience and it should be treated with care, so make sure to do it right and take your time with that as well.

[@dantealighieri4543]

By the way, I added the game to my Steam wishlist right away since this is something I never thought about but I'm glad someone else was inspired enough to make it (I loved Pacific Rim). This game looks like it could easily be a masterpiece if done right in the future, so by all means take all the time you need to make it right.

[@Eso233]

Add RTS elements please!! I want to summon infantry, artillery, and siege weaponry during combat. Super excited!!

[@labbit35]

Hear me out: Mech enemies you have to fight from different factions Maybe even a secret area boss that’s a actual sci fi mech, which could explain how did they manage to even make the mechs in the first place

[@aritramondal6475]

This has a lot of potential. Add some steampunk elements and it'll be perfect.

[@tohrukobayashi4446]

loved it. i would use a big two handed sword ! haha

[@greatclubsandwich5612]

Having alternate mechknights with different style weapons and helmets would be cool. One with a crossbow arm and a shield arm and a sallet style helmet that is faster and based on ranged combat, one with a 2 handed double ended polearm and a jousting helmet for wide sweeps and less movement but longer reach... I'd start with 4 classes basically if you go this route. Swords as a general all rounder, crossbow (or ballista in this case) based on speed and maneuverability, polearm focusing on DPS and wide crowd control, and a tank with a tower shield and a big war hammer or flail. They could also be NPCs if implementing 4 separate models would be too much. As a general criticism, I don't like the jetpack. Its too sci-fi and makes the mech slide around like its on ice all the time. One thing I liked about the first pacific rim movie was the mechs felt big and slow and their movement had such weight to them. When the sequel came out and they made the mechs fast and more cartoony it took away from the appeal and made it feel less like actual giant mechs and more like action figures slamming into one another... Moreover the mech moves too quickly through the environment while boosting. Its feet slide on the ground even though its not a jump and it feels unnatural. T The thing about movement of large objects is they should be slow and weighty, not fast and agile... and they shouldn't feel weightless, at least not without it being hyper advanced like with armoured core. If I'm playing as a giant hunk of metal it should feel like it. Idk... It just feels to floaty. I like the running animation and like the idea of being just a big guy essentially.

[@stuffzluvverz_7665]

This is the equivalent to playing a Dreadnought in Space Marines.

[@akarimomo9219]

Oh hell yeah it’s official now its a game🙌

[@thecommenter5278]

You should add an indicator for the slam attack like the ones on space marine 2 with the jetpack

[@TheTwistedTraceur]

nice, can and will wishlist

Fantasy mechs? Yes please
