Wyrdysm Games

I been thinking on a new direction for my fleets and decided to try to make floating mechs in space. Problem is, as far as I can tell, no one has ever made a fleet of bipedal mechas. Seeing as I'm on virgin soil, I like everyone's opinion on mech fleets.

Screenshots only, no Download and names.













UPDATE:

Reworked one of my mech based on some comments from the forums.


BEFORE:






AFTER:





*IMPORTANT* Just discovered minor error, fixed shoulderblades. Too lazy to make new screenie.

Changes:
Better weapons (I think)
More details (like hands instead of pincers)
Longer Legs (Is it better? I'm not so sure)
Change in weaponary
Color scheme change

I still can't decide if I should scrap the wings so I left it in there for now.

So yay or nay? Should this mech replace my old one? (It better be, I deleted my old one already!)

On a sidenote, I seen some asteroid sprites and cloud sprites, how do I use them? (Their really fugly though)

NOTE THAT ALL THE MECHS ARE STILL IN EXPERIMENTAL STAGES

The floating pieces kind of ruin it for me.

General feedback is negative. Mostly likely due to the 'wings'. Okay, scraping those buggers and replacing them with giant over-sized cannons.

What about the arms and legs? Are they to scale or should I just scrap them?

Seems alright. The floating 'wings' make me think alot of GUNDAM Seed DRAGOONs.

Actually, I like th wings better han your giant guns... The guns look a bit messy...
TBH, I expected something awful, I'm pleasantly surprised that this is actually a good-looking fleet! It's not awesome, but definetely a fine creation, and with som tweaking it'll be even better.

Good: I like the overall structure of your ship
Bad: It needs to have no floating sections

The last two (the purple ones) are easily the best. Their hands look good, as do the wings, but the legs feel a bit short and spindly to me. I recommend making more in that style, but with longer and/or less spindly legs. The cannons and shoulder weapons aren't very good, so if you make more cannons or shoulder weapons, try to make sure they look more appealing.

Also, several people (at least 2) have done mechs in the past, but it's been a while since the last person has made mechs.

Hmm, camp seems to be divided between wings or no wings. Still at least weapons are considered not good enough. Will work on it more. Still, any links to mechs? I can't find them on BF Customs ships

I really like these! The mini one with the Nano Matrix made me giggle...

As for the floating wings, I think they look very nice, like... well, I don't know, but something very nice looking. Yeah. More would be nice, and maybe some names.

WoW. Nice Shipdesinge

UPDATE:

Check below orginal post!

Oh and I found some mechs but I'm a bit disapointed, where are the legs?

I suppose its quite useless to make them but then they look less like mechs and more floaty heads/chest

Bumping it, need comments on proper art direction before making more mechs!

well, i had made mechs too, but they were all small. i didnt think about making them as being as big as a crusier, but as a big as a zelus.
my point of view. i ll post them soon

okay okay.

what about a fleet of balanced mechas?
what i mean would be mechs with snipers (railguns), bazookas (missiles, plasmas) and they would have the same body template but different arms for the weps. try to limit the size to zelus/ hestia. because a mech would usually driven by a single driver and wouldnt be bigger than a fighter (or the scout zelus in you case )

oh and while i am at it, the small mech should rather be a medic pod 8)
