Mecho Wars is out on iTunes.

So let's see how you guys react to this game :)

http://toucharcade.com/2009/06/02/mecho-wars-sneak-peek/

So far the reactions are good, and well most people don't know about the enviroment changes during the night, well people who havent played the game

http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=15688&page=2

So is Luc Bernard just a insane bastard or is he actually starting to do good games?

Now let's see how many insults I may get with this one post :D

Lets see, I love advance wars, which this game has been favorably compared to. I enjoy your surrealist and interesting art style.

What the hell, you can have $5 of my cash so I can have a good Strategy Game on my iPhone. I need something to pull me away from Peggle anyway...

Will buy on friday. Love the art style.

Don't have an i-phone, but this does look good. It's good to see you making games man.

Justice says:
(# 3) on 06/13/2009 03:30

Well I hope it's a good game and that it works out for you Luc, best wishes. Also what happened with the graphic novel you were going to do or am I just making that up?

TehBuLL says:

Good luck, I don't have an IPhone but it does look like the type of portable I like, so I look forward to a Dtoid review.

ajaxender says:
(# 5) on 06/13/2009 04:24

I could say that if you rip off Advance Wars anyone can make a good game... :P.

Nah, this sounds interesting, particularly the day/night changes. I also love the crazy graphical style. And if its similar to Advance Wars, well that just means it probably plays pretty well. Ill grab a demo if its there, else I'll have to wait for some money :(.

Knives says:
(# 6) on 06/13/2009 04:26

I have no iphone :D, I would probably be interested if I did:P, I'm a sucker for strategy and tower defense games, hell I even bought that FF TD game on the wii even when I hate FFTA.

Very cool character designs, sadly I don't have anything I can play this on. Hope it does well for you!

JLanphear says:

I have an iPhone and this seems pretty interesting. You shall most likely have my money sir. Or at least 70% of it. . .

this is not normal, something is wrong here.

I was expecting insults and angrt comments? are all the ones from last year gone?

Justice says:

Well your best mate Reaprar is gone, well at least from the blogs, I can't remember who else trolled you.

Luc don't worry I'll make things right.

OMFG IT LOOKZ WELL SHIT INNIT BRUV AH MAH GAWD.

:D

j/k looks cute tbh. Don't know if it will be good though till I play it.

Dexter345 says:
(# 13) on 06/13/2009 06:44

I'm also a bit with Ajaxender. I don't expect it's difficult to make something good when it is essentially Advance Wars. But that said, I don't think there's anything offensive about bringing a popular game type to a platform that doesn't have it, especially when you add in the unique art style. I don't have an iPhone, but if I did, I'd check it out.

As far as expecting the hate, I like to think that we give people the benefit of the doubt, and we give people second chances here. That is probably not 100% true for everybody, but if you're making games and you want to talk about them here, people will listen.

Unfortunately, I don't have any cash to spare to buy this for my iPod Touch.... but I do wish you the best of luck. :D

Jesus H Christ says:
(# 15) on 06/13/2009 07:17

I'd pick it up if I had an iPhone. I've always loved your art style. Here's hoping you do something for one of the consoles download services.

ScottyG says:
(# 16) on 06/13/2009 08:21

Get drunk and start ranting if you want insults. :P

No iPhone so no buy, but it looks pretty. If only strategy games like that didn't infuriate me so...

Overcrowd says:
(# 17) on 06/13/2009 08:26

Luc, the only reason you got grief for Eternity's Child is 'cause it was unplayable. It looked like an awesome game, but stuff evidently got mixed up somewhere down the programming line. (I'll still buy it if it's still coming to WiiWare, btw.)

Mecho Wars' mechanics are all in place and working efficiently therefore the bare minimum has been achieved (playability), so look forward to positive reviews. I'd definitely buy it on the art style alone if I had an iPhone. You gotta sort something out with an XBLA release, man.

nukka jdav says:
(# 18) on 06/13/2009 08:40

Making games is tough man. Last time it was the first time we all had sex, we thought it was gonna be great, but it was just awkward and kind of scary...we were all surprised.

Now your hip thrusting action isn't missing as much, and our dtoid vagina isn't so dry or on her period (FORUMS).

Yeahhh...its kind of like that.

Tubatic says:
(# 19) on 06/13/2009 08:48

Looking good, but, alas, no iPhone friend!

I DEFINITELY dig the artstyle! I just wish I had a platform to play your games for myself! What's going on with Eternity's Child for Wiiware?!

Also,
"Some of the included maps feature bridges that are only wide enough to accommodate one unit, creating an easy to defend bottleneck. That is, until the water freezes."

Nice!

Shin Oni says:
(# 20) on 06/13/2009 08:50

No Iphone here...but does look good. I'd sure buy if I had one though...

maybe i'll steal my dad's iphone, secretly buy it from his, and play it...which in turn makes him have something to play once he finds the ap.

Kraid says:

I'm going to boycott your evil free income tactics. Free Money ain't nothing to fuck with.

Apple is fail.

eternalplayer2345 says:
(# 22) on 06/13/2009 09:15

I've always liked your art style luc. I'm really hoping this is a success for you so you can start on the platformer that you talked about last year that sounded amazing. (not eternity's child, it was one that changed over time)

HarassmentPanda says:
(# 24) on 06/13/2009 09:32

I don't think you should expect negativity. No one here wants to see anyone else fail; people just tend to get a bit reactionary when they feel the community is being attacked.

Personally, I think this game looks great and I'll be picking it up ASAP. Congrats, Luc!

The jump button doesn't work.

I own no Devil Machine, and as such can only weep, for those are some very nice screenshots.

naia-the-gamer says:
(# 27) on 06/13/2009 10:02

Some of the negative nancies are still here, but not as many. I have an iPod Touch and some gift certificate money, so I will most likely be checking it out.

And I think the problem with Eternity's Child wasn't the core concept, but the mechanics not implemented well. As many here have said, I would imagine making games is not easy.

Tdiddy9182 says:
(# 28) on 06/13/2009 10:10

I really like the art style I have seen from this game. Too bad I do not have an iPhone or iPod touch, any plans to bring this to another platform, like Wiiware or XBLA?

Daxelman says:
(# 29) on 06/13/2009 10:22

No iPhone, no iPod touch, won't buy neither because both are still tied to shit.

Steam, XBLA, PSN, WiiWare, or hell, even the Zune HD if they allow for it.

Fuck it, make a Palm Pre app......

manasteel88 says:
(# 30) on 06/13/2009 10:49

lol at the flamebaiting...

I hope this gets good reviews and makes an appearance on XBLA. Lord knows we need more Advance Wars style games on consoles. Get to it Luc!

Niero says:
(# 31) on 06/13/2009 10:56

Luc, I formed a committee that banned all "epic" trolls since you last used the site. It's been a better experience for everybody since, or so the healthy comment counts suggest.

That was a tough lesson -- my optimism (and naivete) that everyone would eventually get along didn't always produce the best results, despite good intentions. So there you go.

Solgrim says:
(# 32) on 06/13/2009 11:08

lol @ Bloodylip

4knuckleshuffle says:
(# 33) on 06/13/2009 11:22

Did you play using keyboard or controller?

because controller is unplayable.

njsykora says:
(# 34) on 06/13/2009 11:26

Eternity's Child ended up being highly enjoyable for me when I eventually played it a few months ago. Those patches fixed a lot of the critical control issues. I'm certainly looking forward to the WiiWare release.

Scary Womanizing Pig Mask says:
(# 35) on 06/13/2009 11:33

! Can't wait to try this out :)

Shin Oni says:
(# 36) on 06/13/2009 11:42

I still want to try out Eternity's child. Your artwork overall attracts me and thankfully I wasn't mixed in with that nonsense that went down over EC. Though that also means having to go look at my Wii once it hits....

on second thought, i'll just go get steam.

Badassbill says:
(# 37) on 06/13/2009 11:56

Glad you like the artwork ;)

Justice says:

@4KnuckleShuffle & DeadMovieStar
LOL!

TheCleaningGuy says:
(# 39) on 06/13/2009 12:08

5 bucks? I'll have to pick this up!
Also, Luc, I was wondering: is eternity's child still coming to wiiware? I heard much better things about the game after you patched it, and I was curious if I'd still have a chance to play it on a home console.

Dao2-SKP says:
(# 40) on 06/13/2009 12:14

also to be fair eterenity's child wasn't really that good hence all the dislike :|

mix says:
(# 41) on 06/13/2009 12:57

If I had an iPhone I would spend $5 on this game 'fo 'sho as I LOVE Advance Wars, looks aweosme man!

Luc Bernard says:
(# 42) on 06/13/2009 13:11

well it does seem very different here now

also for the press memebers of teh site, I've got promo codes so you better shoot me a email to get them

AgentMOO says:
(# 43) on 06/13/2009 13:15

Sounds pretty cool, I'll check it out

Naim Master says:
(# 44) on 06/13/2009 13:23

Correction : insane TROLL bastard .

aerofan11 says:
(# 45) on 06/13/2009 13:35

Glad to hear that the negative reviews didn't get to you. Sadly I don't have a Ipod Touch or Iphone.
I'm looking forward to your future titles, release them on XBLA so I can try them. ;)

NihonTiger90 says:
(# 46) on 06/13/2009 14:00

Even though it is Advance Wars when distilled to the absolute basics, it's hard to knock someone for that or we'd have to knock all games for essentially being clones of each other except Spacewar! back in the 1950s and 1960s as the first video game.

Don't have anything I can lay this on, but here's hoping it goes well :D

Luc Bernard says:
(# 47) on 06/13/2009 14:35

funny for some reason I think Mecho Wars is going to get less press than EC :)

do people only like to report bad things?

lol Mecho Wars is out and no site has talked about it yet, damn marketing iz hard

bahss says:
(# 48) on 06/13/2009 16:06

Well, I might just drop the 4.99 to get it! Is there by chance a drop in price anytime soon?

ryu89 says:
(# 49) on 06/13/2009 16:07

Well the thing is luc, it is an iphone game. Great platform for small indie games from what I hear, but isn't really covered that much as far as game sites go. Good luck with the game though.
