I am excited to let you all know about this awesome game from a startup indie, Studio XF8.
I am going to give a rough breakdown of the game here and update more as it gets finished.
All feedback and comments are welcome and appreciated   Cross Fate is a 3D third person tactical-combat game where you take command of a pilot task squad of battle robots, called Variable Troopers, in order to recover a cataclysmic weapon and prevent the destruction of all organic life.  The game focuses on customization; from your squad’s load-out and appearance to your choices and how it shapes the story.  Customize your Mecha! • Take command and order your allies in real-time, work together to complete any mission. • Explore the inner Solar System, visit planets and their moons, and even orbiting space colonies spread throughout.  As the Commander, make choices that impact the story, your team, and how the world sees you.  Tailor the abilities of you and your squad to your liking. Their classes, their attributes and more! The new space-based government known as the G.A.C. call a meeting when one of their merchant freighters is attacked by pirates. Upon learning a top-secret weapon has been plundered, they order you, their finest Commander, to choose a team among their fledgling military cadet force and recover the stolen cargo.  You'll start your investigation on the whereabouts of the space pirates, through exploration and interaction with key characters. However it’s never that simple, and soon you will be involved in a faction war between the Earth and the Moon, turf wars between ruling gangs, and even have to deal with a group of dangerous terrorists set on impeding your progress. We will keep the updates coming on a regular basis!!!Plz follow us on the Twitter and the FB!  Twitter: @Studio_XF8Facebook: CrossFateGameSubscribe for Email Update

UPDATE 11: 07/02/15For #ThrowbackThursday we share concept art that has lead to the finals for our fav MECHAS!!! Along with some of the story Featured Mecha: Golden StarThe personal VT of Mercenary Legend, Jean Kay. The most distinct characteristic of it is the gold color, which makes it easily recognizable in battle. On top of that it counts on two special features to maximize it's tactical value. A Grapple Line mounted on the arm, that allows the pilot to not only pull but unsuspecting targets, but large objects as well (with almost negligible damage...). And the second feature are the Wheels on the feet of the robot, which increases mobility and maneuverability of the VT on ground. Not to mention it looks incredibly cool.

I think if you reversed that animation it would have more impact
the wind up in the beginning, thrust, than pulling it out and up over his shoulder

Dev here! Ever since we had Jack post that we've been thinking of what could be improved in it, so we're trying some alternate ones and we'll definitely give what you suggested a shot! Thanks for the feedback, really helps!  |

UPDATE 16: 07/09/15For #ThrowbackThursday we wanted to show you the concept art that led to the final for one of our favorite mechas Nightstrike!!! Along with some of the story Featured Mecha: NightstrikeA modern High Speed Assault robot by weapon industry giant, Worldwide Armaments. Though originally the concept was commissioned by the UoN, Worldwide reserved the rights to sell the VTs to any off-world military force. It's namesake comes from it's nocturnal combat abilities, including a jammer to prevent radars and sensors from detecting it and and NV camera which gives them the upper hand against most VT assailants on the cover of night.  Having a total of 14 jet thrusters located on the back of the shoulder, the skirt, legs and back, it makes it one of the most mobile VT to date. However it also means that the energy efficiency is also on the low side, requiring periodical tuning and maintenance. Surprisingly, the structure of thrusters and where they are located through the body of the VT, while it improves mobility, it affects any 360 degree maneuverability, such as in in space maneuvering. Making it a poor choice on space combat. Plz follow us on the Twitter and the FB! Twitter: @Studio_XF8Facebook: CrossFateGameSubscribe for Email Update
