Just finished implementing invert Y axis look for Drop Command. Cannot handle switching back and forth between invert and non-invert... up is down and down is up, brain is melting. #indiegamedev

Really appreciate the Steam user who reported EEC explosion damage feeling off, comments like that help me make the game better
Weapons will now do FULL explosion damage up to 25% of the explosion radius, followed by a near-linear drop to zero at the radius. After testing, this feels much better. This change will be going in with the next demo patch (release day TBD). #indiegamedev #gamedev
Expected ~20 wishlists today, surprised by 10x as many! One player posting about our game makes such a huge impact. Feeling very grateful! #gamedev #indiegamedev
Drop Command just hit 2000 wishlists! Very grateful to everyone who has been sharing the game and sharing their feedback on the Steam demo #indiegames #gamedev
Coming in the next demo patch: pilot portraits! You can finally customize your hero, and see who your pilots are. When will the patch go live? I'm not sure yet. Just as soon as we're done testing that everything works properly. #gamedev #indiegamedev

Starting to enjoy the new civilian buildings. Generating settlements with procedural methods has it's own challenges. #indiegamedev #gamedev #mechgame
Quick peek at the civilian settlements that are being added to the Drop Command map generator! #indiegamedev #indiegames
Review text reads: Somehow it looks worse than Mechwarrior 2, and also controls worse as well.
Most of the feedback on our demo has been super helpful. This one may not be very positive, but at least I know how they feel!

Drop Command demo launch was a huge success! Very grateful to hear people are loving the game. Day 1 we had over 100 new players. Looking forward to sharing more later. #indiegamedev #indiegames #steam
Nothing like launching a demo to bring out the hidden bugs! Working on hotfix 2 to triage the major issues. #indiegamedev
First few hours of the steam demo, already had an embarrassing bug to fix: Key rebinding is available in three different places (main menu, campaign, in-mission). Attempting to rebind specifically from the campaign screen fails. Hot fix should fix it now.
