Drop Command Press Kit is now live! impress.games/press-kit/pi... Stay tuned for the Steam Demo coming soon. Huge thank you to @ashleygwinnell.bsky.social for the excellent and free Indie Game Press Kit creator, which was an enormous help! #indiegamedev #gamedev

Working on the Pilot Portrait Generator for #DropCommand! Won't be in the Steam demo, but it will be in the full release. Wishlist on Steam for a Mechwarrior x Warband x Stellaris experience #indiegames #gamedev

Finally getting around to testing the new foliage system. Should be far more performance friendly than the previous system. Now to get Ben to mass produce foliage to populate the Hyades cluster #indiegamedev

Celebrating lunar new year with hot pot!!! And a puppy.

Working hard on the #DropCommand Steam demo! Adding extra content to make the wait worthwhile. New pirate factions to fight, new TANK to pilot: Cicada main battle tank. Steam demo to launch soon after February Next Fest. Thanks for playing and leaving feedback! #indiegamedev #gamedev

Pirates are fully implemented! Pirate leaders, bandit raids, and wretched hives of scum and villany to purge. Drop Command steam demo coming soon, maybe after this next fest finishes... #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedev #mechgame

Planets rich in edible fungus are great for empire growth! Until your hired pilots suffer a spore lung infection. Lower constitution means more likely to suffer further injury, and less likely to make their pilot survival roll when things go poorly! #gamedev #indiegamedev

Medusa medium Mech looking excellent. HD version of the unit in #DropCommand. Wishlist on Steam if you like old school Mech games! #indiegames #battletech

Nice! We hit 1500 wishlists today, lets go! Here's a quick look at our most impactful marketing beats. We're gearing up to launch later this year, so it's time to hit the gas #indiegamedev #gamedevs

Thanks! That's great advice, I'll do that =)

Don't worry, we'll have a few chicken legs in there too! As well as a tri-ped and a quadruped for good measure

#DropCommand Demo stats! Over 7 days, 240 sessions played, average playtime of 26 minutes per session. Very happy to announce the demo was a huge success. We're working hard on an update and Steam demo to come in the next few weeks. #indiegamedev #gamedev

Stomping on infantry is by far the most requested feature after the demo launch. And you were right! It -is- awesome. #indiegamedev #gamedev

Game dev chore day. Cost of updating the triplanar shader for more intricate terrain: 15 minutes. Cost of updating every planet to have more intricate terrain: 15 hours.

Hey! Thanks so much for the offer! Unfortunately the game is going to feature a huge amount of procedural text, so localization would be very time intensive. For now we're only planning on having english text, but I'll keep your offer in mind if we change our minds on this

Tons of excellent feedback on the #DropCommand demo! I'll be busy fixing bugs, improving new player experience, and adding requested features. Steam demo in a few weeks! #indiegamedev #gamedev

Thanks so much for the feedback! Really appreciate it 😃 I'll see what I can do about the re-centering

Drop Command is an old school Mech combat game with layers of empire building and tactical management. Lauched our Beta demo on itch yesterday: pillbuggames.itch.io/drop-command #indiegame #IndieGameDev

An unexpected error came up in the first few downloads of the demo! Starting with version 0.1.61 you'll be able to name your pilot "-" without the game crashing XD #indiegamedev Thank you to everyone who is playing the demo!
