After several months of running its own custom crowdfunding campaign without a great amount of success, Heavy Gear Assault developer MekTek Studios has launched a bona fide Kickstarter© to get things rolling. To drum up a little more enthusiasm for the free-to-play mecha shooter, it's released a short in-game snippet showing off its destructible environments in Unreal Engine 4.
MekTek Studios and Stompy Bot Productions announced today that Heavy Gear Assault will use Unreal Engine 4, and released a new trailer to show it off.
Typical! You wait a decade for a giant killbot game, then three come along at once. Publisher Stompy Bot Productions today announced Heavy Gear Assault, seeking $900,000 in crowdfunding to bring the free-to-play multiplayer game to PC. It's being made by MekTek Studios, the folks who jazzed up MechWarrior 4 for its free re-release in 2010.
The stompy robot world of Heavy Gear is returning to PC, consoles and mobile doodads, as the appropriately-named Stompy Bot Productions has licensed the rights to the franchise.
