Here are some screenshots from our just-announced-last-Friday Facebook game, Mustache Mercenaries. A lot of this stuff is still work-in-progress, but it will give you a feel for where things are at.
First, our wonderful logo screen. We feel this one is self-explanatory.
Then, to the lab! The lab is your hub for all activities in Mustache Mercenaries. When the beta launches this week, the two big features that you access from here are going into fights (via the glowing yellow map screen), and reconfiguring your robot (via clicking on the glowing green door).
You’ll also notice our genteel ambassador, Mr. Brain. He’ll be spouting advice and nonsense for your benefit whenever you’re in the lab.
Finally, a battle! Here we have Abraham Lincoln in a borrowed mech, fighting against some of John Wilkes Booth’s henchmen.
A number of the items here are placeholders – that toolbox in the lower part is a help button (Use your imagination! Tools are helpful!), and the big black square there is our placeholder art for Battle Cards. Both of those will be replaced by Friday.
What are Battle Cards you ask? Find out tomorrow!
from withering and to build general stores, and she’s had it up to here. I’d stand back if I were you.
And once we get done with the initial launch, we’re going to be working full time on adding new features and new content into the game at an astounding clip. We’ve just scratched the surface of what we want to accomplish with the game – we are planning new modes of combat, expansions to the functionality of your lab (Oh – yes, you have a lab. It’s where Mr. Brain hangs out for the most part.), new mech parts you can purchase or find in fights, and a pile of other stuff. We also plan to bring you folks into the loop – we want your suggestions on what pilots and features you want next, and anything else you want to tell us.
