New game in development - BattletechOnline
|
A new game is in production bringing the Classic Battletech game to the PC in a new way. Integrating The Drawing Board but also allowing for Mechwarrior character generation as well as vehicles and Elementals. A built-in chat system. Games are still turn-based and can last from a number of hours to days or weeks depending on how active players are. Any player that takes no action within 24 hours is assumed to have taken no action for that round so that gameplay can continue. There will be closed games where once a game begins, additional players are prevented from joining and open games where new players can join at any time.
After testing, the start of a game seems most interesting to have initial placement as combat drops where the landing hex and hex facing are randomized. Land in heavy trees? Make a piloting skill roll, but in actuality, the game system will take care of all rolls for you.
