Hi!!! I really wanted to play the game but there seems to be a problem idk how to fix it. Whenever I Deploy the game kicks me out and Shows the image below. Would much appreciated if someone in comments helps me thanks!!!

Hi there! I've been loving your game and cannot wait until I'm able to buy the full version! In my spare time for fun I've made a trailer for Project Landsword and I hope you enjoy it! Many thanks and best of luck with development! 

also u have removed i saw some of intel on different kind of enemy weapons like tank in new updates. i saw just now why ?

also i wanna ask when will these new updates be added in this demo ????? im waiting for ur game release for years now .... is there any way i can help u in game development ? i can help u out.

hi i have been following ur work for about 2 years now ... i just wanna say can u allow us to make our own levels? like allow ur game community to build their own maps and levels by allowing level editor to included in game? cause this can allow users to share with each other the custom levels them make with each other and u know once u allow us to do that there will be A TON OF new content coming out. Im just saying when u release ur game just allow in game editor or modding it just helps a lot in long term success of game, just look at skyrim or ravenfield . U never know how wild and even better levels can be made by ur players. 

WAITER! WAITER! MORE LORE PLEASE!

OOOH MY GOD YESSS. playing it right  now and i'll drop a review (glaze it) when i am ready.  

The new weapons, iinm they are laser, munition launcher, spiderbot, and mine. They are OP (I haven't tried the mine tho). No this doesn't mean I want them to be nerfed, what I mean is that this makes older weapons kinda obsolete.

For most cases, munition launcher is enough for almost everything. it's AOE, it eats up armor albeit slower, it goes through cover, it's ammo is plenty. What else do you need?

If you want more direct speedier engagement, laser is the best. Well, it's laser. Rapid fire, long range, and instantaneous hit.

Spiderbot is the homing missile done right. Though this is that type that you guide manually (not fire and forget). You can aim it and fire behind cover. Huge splash damage. Long range. Goes through cover. Now this is how you supposed to do homing missile.

Some recommendation to fix:

1. You can make flamethrower (thermal projector iinm) to lit the ground and that fire (and every other fire actually) cause damage. Or at least cause heavy spike in temp that eventually cause damage. Though I believe this just haven't been implemented yet since the game already have temp reading.

2. Increase the ammo number of dumb/unguided rocket. Rocket like this always comes in number and you fire them in rapid succession for AOE. IRL, most attack helicopter can only carry up to 16 homing missile but up to 76 unguided rockets. So if player tank can carry 12 homing missile, it should be able to carry at least 57 unguided rockets.

3. Make the homing missile arc higher so it won't bump into lower obstacle like cars. And if munition launcher can arc through buildings, there is no reason a homing missile can't. And make it so you can initiate lock on even behind covers. I know you want to imitate real life, but this is a video game and it's the future! Not to mention homing missile lock on is disturbed by smoke/chaff which is already a huge nerf.

Recently play the updated version. Looking better.

I like it how smoke grenade disrupt laser and lock-on. Nice little detail

But currently there is less reasons to use homing missiles. While they are devastating, their ammo is also scarce. But critically, you can't lock on to enemies behind cover. And when you do lock them, the missile will hit something when there is any object along the way. I mean it's homing missile, they will be launch high into the air to avoid this very reason (and so it can hit top armor). Building is one thing, but they also hit lower obstacles like cars. I mean c'mon, the tank is definitely much taller than cars.

Been a while since ive checked in, how's it going? Im still super excited for this game and plan to resume work on the model soon as well now that my health is back in order

Hello, just checking in to wish you a good day. Hope the work is going well everything looks like a labor of love since I last saw, so don't worry about taking your time.  

Replaying half a year later, the game is still fire.
Will we by any chance get a new Report progress any time soon? Its been a while since we got any new updates on how the game is going, and I am genuinely itching for more

Nice, but I wanna ask, is there really only 7 missions?

Once again, life imitates art.

Hi! I'm really enjoying your game. While playing, I had an idea: what if we could select different ammo types for our guns in the hangar before starting a mission?

I think this would make each weapon much more versatile and offer a wider variety of playstyles. For example, if I equip the Mark 7 AutoCannon, I could choose to bring both Armor-Piercing and Explosive rounds (without exceeding the mech's maximum ammo capacity).

The available ammo types could include options like:

• Thermal Rounds
• Armor-Piercing (AP)
• EMP Rounds
• Acid Rounds
• Airburst Rounds

During gameplay, players could easily swap between their selected ammo types by pressing the 'T' key.

To keep it balanced, there could be a slight delay when changing ammo, along with a clear UI indicator showing which ammo is currently loaded. I believe this mechanic could be applied to other weapons as well. You could even give enemies this ability, which would definitely increase the challenge and variety across different stages.

Thank you for your excellent work! I'm really looking forward to your game.

This is the best thing I've seen in a while, I'd like to thank the developer and wish him good luck.

Greetings!

While playing the final mission, I was thinking, how about making ammo containers interactable with the C key?

When playing with the Vulcan cannon, I always seem to run out of ammo, and I think being able to carry the containers would expand the range of gameplay options.

there only 7 missions at current time?

Hey so i'm running into this error

Please how can I fix this ?

U got a discord server?

Hello again! Today I decided to replay this game, and noticed weird shooting sounds that enemy mechs make, that sound like blasters from star wars. Is that a temporary SFX asset, or a stylistic choice?

soo i've been thinking about how the more "traditional looking" mechs would look like without ruining the alienees that comes from leaning to being vehicles in the game and i kinda came up with this. two forearms come from the elbow, one is to hold onto the weapons (even improvised ones) and the bottom one is to being able to continue to interact and manipulate their environment.there is no way in hell this would be implemented in the game aside from a lore text. the head wouldn't be an actual head but a sentry (two weapons put on each side of a camera system). (i didn't add the legs since they are so perfect, literally my favorite tetrapod designs ever)
i can continue to detail this design up if you'd be interested. and keep up the good work man!!

Just uploaded a Mission 2: Lazy Blade gameplay showcase after someone requested help beating it 😄 Turns out the strategy is basically standing around and slicing everything that gets close lol.

Loving the destructible environments and combat flow in this demo so far. Looking forward to future updates for Project Landsword!

Gameplay video: Mission 2 – Lazy Blade Gameplay 

this game is surprisingly replayable, considering months have passed after the last time i replied to this, so once again here are some ideas

- endless mode

simply put, you fight waves after waves of enemies, each wave harder than the last. however, while the arena is quite large, the terrain shifts between waves. maybe this could be added as a training room for crawler pilots? unrelated note, since we are speaking of terrain,

- actual terrain in missions

considering mars has quite a lot of craters, riverbeds, sand dunes and more, it makes some sense that there could be places where the terrain has multiple parts with different elevation. this could make for some good fortresses, especially with minotaurs and turrets in a crater holding an objective, though i dont exactly know if the game engine would allow it.

moving onto the crawlers themselves, it might just be me, but the crawlers do look like tank turrets on legs. maybe it makes sense lorewise that they have either a multi-crewed variant for co-op play, or one made for troop/item transport? after all, APCs and IFVs do exist, so maybe they can be enemies?

last but not least, a new secondary weapon could be fun.

- the air/orbital strike

by launching a marker, the air force or navy would be alerted to call in support either by conventional bombing or kinetic bombardment. for obvious reasons it wouldn't work underground, but above ground this could be very capable of damaging any static enemy. for balancing, the enemies could either move out of the way or attempt interception of the projectiles, possibly shooting down the jets outright as well.

anyways, i'm just gonna leave this wall of suggestions here, might go back to replaying the campaign again

edit: i reread the intel of the MBTs in game, and it appears that they are significantly larger modern MBTs. how big are they compared to modern tanks?

edit 2: regarding the co-op idea, i should probably clarify, the driver can operate the weapons normally in singleplayer, but more often than not the driver does get distracted by combat and can get stuck in terrain, resulting in hits that otherwise could be avoided. also, maybe add some reward for S-ranking a mission?

edit 3:out of sheer boredom, is there a chance you will add modding support in the future? i have some ideas for missions and weapons to test

Is there any plans to add controller support so the game can be played like a twin stick shooter?

ill give some funny feedback to make the game feel more "dynamic" in some way or another!

+v Buildings collapsing on enemies/players can damage them overtime until its completely destroyed (aka rubble) (excluding infrastructures that are weak in intergirty) cause adding live hazards that is caused by players are fun to look at i guess lol?

+v an Dash Mechanic for an new powerplant (or just called overdrive ingame)

> made up lore time! "a prototype powerplant designed to maximize mobility for crawlers alike, though with its dexterity comes with a price of its hefty size requiring the crawler to give up some of its armor plating to implement it"

> like mentioned ^ it would sacrifice armor for more mobility

> unlike some games interpretation of dash (being just tap shift to dash an certain distance) this one would be more of an hold down SHIFT to wind up the bar. the longer you hold down, the bar would slowly be depleted and thus longer dash disance, while also creating a projection of where you would be in the moment you release the bar!

>Bar mechanics:
- every kill you get will instantly refill one bar (with each bar on default requiring 4~7 seconds to refill natrually (will also play a sound when one bar is filled* (MIGHT NEED BALLANCING!!!!!!!!!!!)
>Keybind Mechanics:
-holding down shift will use the amount of dash it consumed, by releasing SHIFT on the end of each bar, the user will get EXTRA distance boost for doing a "Perfect Dash"
-Bars that isnt fully depleted (while winding up) will be instantly empty upon releasing (so user requires to conserve them in some way)

>okay now onto the extras!
-dashing into something (like building or enemies) will "Bash" them 
-buildings will collapse towards your direction while also sending giant chunks of debris into the direction (aka free shotgun pump) 
-enemies will be "Staggered", flung away from you and gets damaged by buildings that they collided into (including other enemies! think of like, 8 ball pool but with giant buildings and robots)

It's a really good game, and I even tried emulating it in WinLator, and it worked perfectly. Without needing to configure the container, I give it 10/10. It's compact, a great game/demo.

Hi, I just remembered that irl hovercraft don't set off landmines, unless they're super sensitive landmines, which are apparently very dangerous to set up. It's not all that immersion breaking, but you could add that small bit of realism if you feel like it. I'm just a random person on the internet, you don't need to take my advice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

hey man, i know it isn't right to ask for when the dates of the updates and i don't want to bother you with that. however i think we would be really pleased if you shared around some ideas (story or gameplay). honestly the art style and the world that you are constructing is more precious to me and i'd love to learn more about it if you are comfortable with sharing. :D

WIP,i only used vectors to draw this in microsopht paint,and concept,only attack H2H,

but like it's name,launch 3 warhead-style projectiles that contains one mid-sized mechs each projectile,mid HP or slightly low,

used by the "Global Federation" and some clandestine orgs.

But the Centurion itself has a very high HP(35 layers average),moves slowly,mainly used to make bridge for mechs,that's why it has a powerful arm that can be meaningful to carry injured mechs(small-mid sized)

and also to attack with it's  6,5 meters knife,very powerful(could remove 3 layer to the player,or enemy if used by player),ofc it has a cooldown effect,and so attack slowly WIP

You can solve directX　problem to download d3dcompiler_43 or d3dcompiler_47 into game folder

salut mon ptit chou ^^,si le jeu sortirait sur steam,il sera gratuit ou payant ?Et attends mon ptit chouchou^^,tu sais  je suis suffisamment aisé à créer des perso fictifs(surtout du camp ennemis dans le jeu,et qu'ils seront majoritairement des bosses[concepts])et faire des dessins sur eux,donc stv jpeux les partager ici

how long do you think will take till the next update?

Just found this game again after a year and got sucked in right away, hahaha, It`s nice to see it wasn't abandoned. This game is also an inspiration for a novel i'm currently planning to write and i would like to learn a thing or two about the lore and further plans. Is there a way to contact you or maybe there is lore and info about the setting posted somewhere? Thank you, dude.

is there going to be a sandbox mode to play around with in the future?

Finally got S in all my mission , i am ussally a railgunner , i am ussually a fast paced maneuvering type fella so the issue i am been facing is sometimes the mech goes right instead of left and and this happend atleast twice my keybord seems fine so idk and as railgun has pretty low ammo missing shots is annoying
