Welcome to our new game #devlog! We're an #indiedev team called Pill Bug Games, and we're creating a brand new #mech #combat #game called Drop Command. It's going to have 3rd person and 1st person combat, large battles with tons of units, and best of all it will be full of strategic decision making where you can control large armies in your battle for supremacy. You will be able to pilot any unit in the game, including but not limited to mechs, VTOLs, tanks, and power armour. Weapons hardpoints will give you access to a variety of powerful weapon types, and strategic options such as orbital bombardments will be available to you as the battlefield commander. This game is being made using the #Unity Engine, and we are very excited to share this coding game development adventure with you, as we build the game and create #gamedev logs to share our process with you.
