Release Note Mech Infinity
Date: February 5, 2023
General considerations
A new update of Mech Infinity comes straight from the best engineers of Lunacia. This release we have prepared a more dynamic update, each Mech pilot will have to fight against other players in a free-for-all arena that will push them to the center. The last surviving pilot gets the victory, while the other competitors will get points depending on their redemption and the level of the opponents they manage to defeat.
It is important to note that this DEMO is not a final product and will be subject to change. As we add new updates, functionalities will be included or changed because our process is iterative and seeks to bring the game as close as possible to the community.
The game progress of this update will also be reset in future versions for the official release. Likewise, all Mechs that are unlocked for testing today will become unlockable in the game progress or in the marketplace.
New features:
In this update, we bring some optimizations in the basic mechanics to add more fluidity and dynamism to the game play and we also add new content:
New Mech Bird
A new Mech enters the game arena, an agile ranged shooter that is able to wear you down until you are defeated with powerful abilities that can give you the victory if you know how to move around the game field with enough versatility.
New Ranking System
Mech Infinity has at its core to be a highly competitive game. From this version a ranking system is already implemented so that you can measure yourself against your rivals. You will be matched in priority with players that are close to your MMR (Matchmaking Rank) so you can measure your skill with them but, be careful, they can steal your MMR and drop you down a few positions.
Private rooms:
While initially creating private rooms is not available to everyone, entering them is. With this tool we will be able to organize competitive events with content creators, official sponsors and the community. What would you like to see in this aspect of the game?
Pairing:
For this DEMO we have configured a minimum of 2 players in the game and a maximum of 8. This will make it much easier to start a game thanks to the waiting system that allows you to fill the game as new players connect with a time limit to start.
Compatibility of the pieces:
From this update comes into function the compatibility of parts in the Mechs. From now on a mech with the correct weapon will have a damage increase over a mech that uses a weapon that is not of its class. In the same way the class advantage will also work with the same groups that exist in Axie Infinity Classic.
Security and Fixes:
During the development process of this update we have improved security and fixed many bugs including those detected by the community. Additionally we made optimizations that have improved the user experience.
Explanation of mechanics
MMR theft:
In this version we implemented the first version of the Ranking to which we added a MMR stealing functionality, we will explain how it works:
Each player when defeating an opponent steals part of his MMR or ranking points. The amount stolen depends on the MMR difference, the higher the MMR difference the higher the amount stolen with a limit of 55 points. This means that if you are a starting player and you defeat an experienced player you can earn a large amount of MMR regardless of your position in the game.
Piece Compatibility:
Mechs have different levels of compatibility. In this case we explain with an example, what concerns the base body of the Mech and its different parts.
If a Plant Mech uses a plant type weapon it will have an additional damage bonus with that weapon of approximately 10%, in addition, if the weapon is not a plant weapon but if it is of its class branch, say reptilian or dusk, it will also have a bonus, although smaller. While if you use one from a different class branch such as Aqua or Beast you will have no bonus.
Next steps
Since this update is already in your hands, the team will enter a stage of bug fixing and support while in parallel will begin to develop new features that will come with new versions to complete our MVP that will have an official release. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the journey fighting in the battle arena.
