MW: Tactics

[Nova Cain]

No response as of yet from the IGP addresses, but I am hearing back from the company that handles their online payment system. 

I'm okay with handing over money for Kickstarters or pre-release products that ultimately fail.  That's the nature of the beast.  Some make it; some don't.  But I am not okay with them taking my money, disappearing for a long stretch of time without any communications, and then not delivering a product.

one other thing to keep in mind is they say the founder's pack weren't there to finance the game, it's actually my government's money that finance the game  ::)

It had promises, it was still very very rough... No one knows for sure, I hope they jump start it differently, maybe they came to the conclusion that a browser based game was too limiting... but I was always an optimistic.

Has Mechwarrior Tactical Command also vanished from the face of the earth?

MW:TC (a completely different game than Tactics) was released for iPads primarily. As far as I know they released a few patches after release but it has been available and complete for quite a while at this point, so it makes sense to not really hear any updates on that end. As far as I know it should still be available on the iOS app store. I think I picked it up when it was on sale for $0.99 - $5 but couldn't really play it on my phone and I wasn't going to buy an ipad for it.

I played it a few weeks back on my wife's iPhone.
I can't say for certain anything about the company that makes it, but I'm still killing time with the app.

well, the website is stating that they are looking for a new infrastructure and developer so everything might not be lost with that game... although it took a major step back

Other than the obvious changes to the page, I have heard little else.  I did email one of the former employees and got a response, but he was unable to supply anymore information.  Hitting the funding side had no luck as well.

there's a listing for the sale of IGP's assets sad to say but it looks like this company has took the founders money and run without giving a final product and they have shut their doors and are selling off everything else.

Tactics is deader than the dodo end of story.

Sad to see it go.  I've never heard of a turn based game giving you a movie of the full game at the end before.  I was really looking forward to watching my battles acted out.  :(

And yeah I know I can get my turn based fix from megamek, but reading over a long list of roll results isn't nearly as satisfying as watching my LRMs fly across the map and exploding against my target while little damage numbers, smoke, and "CRITICAL" rise from the wreckage.
