If you have a spare dollar burning a hole in your pocket, it'd help me feel a bit more stable! This is a passion project, so it'll get made on any budget. I also am not in any current financial crisis, this is solely for if you want to go out of your way to support me!

I didn't release my version of "don't create the torment nexus" fast enough, it fucking seems

Oh, and more rules about Grenades. Got some fun stuff to try, we made some slapdash rules during the test that I'm gonna expand on.
After that, it's getting the document pretty, readable, and a few extra bits and bobs for reading/clarification.
Shit's good.

Hoping to have this to you sooner rather than later, but Life is so wacky for me that I can't promise anything. Working on an itch page as well, nothing substantial yet tho. Thanks again!

Those are the neat ones, at least. I'm putting more BIO in the MECH, so the weird gross weapons are coming out (:
I should get back to it rather than typing here, but thank you for reading all this and hanging around. I want to - rather - need to deliver. This thing has to be completed.

Also. some new attributes and statuses!
Pyrexic- When an entity is damaged with this weapon, it gains the Fevered status.
Fevered- At the end of the effected entity’s turn, for every 2 HEAT it has it gains an additional Strain. This effect ends when their HEAT reaches zero.

Also, I was talking about weapons? I am getting weird with 'em, here's one: The Blight Cannon

But, I have also been working on some Story stuff. I want the full game to release with something to play through. Think of it like 5E's starter box with Phandelver, but cooler cause I made it. The Alpha will have part of that in there, just the start of it though.

Anyway, this is all to say that the larger structure is solid enough I can actually pay attention to smaller details like that! Exciting! I know it has been a crawl, especially in the last couple months (it will be again, sorry).

Did you know? There weren't grenades in the game yet. Just never came up in prior tests. Pilot combat is finally being tested rather than *just* focusing on BIOMECH combat. Also I forgot to make some important healing items like bandages to stop bleeding. In a game where bleeding is a Big Thing.

On the writing front, I'm getting back into the swing of things for a bit before Life has to take over again (moving, long distance, horrifying and harrowing) But we did test V0.5 and it went really well! I'm in the middle of tweaking V0.5.1 and adding more weapons, usable items, and more!

In their place, I have started working with @mechanicalblue.bsky.social! Just starting, we have made some strides already and I am super excited to see where this goes. Go check 'em out after reading this update, also a super talented artist!

an Alpha release feels so much closer now. After that, I think I'll let it sit for a minute while I pump out a one page TTRPG idea I've been sitting on, and then get to work on the Beta.

Overall, the game feels like a game, and a playable one, maybe even a fun one. I wasn't on my A-game running it, but got plenty of useful data. V0.5.1 will have corrections to some writing, and I'll be adding a shitload of weapons, items, and whatnot to let people have more fun with what's there.

I never had an equivalent to Perception? Gotta figure that out.
First time we got to try Pilot combat and not just BIOMECH fights. Solid, needs some love though.
Terrain rules, forgot those. Never came up before.
Cover rules are a bit murky, needs more writing.
Removing some legacy terms too.
