There are two things we'll talk about today! The first is what was listed in the headlines, M.A.S.S. Builder will be heading to Tokyo Game Show on September 26 - 29 at the indie games area! Our booth will be represented by Sekai Project, our publisher, and we'll have both English and Japanese speaking personnel to welcome you!

There'll be a demo station for those who have not tried our game yet as well as developers who will be ready to answer any of your questions and concerns so feel free to visit our booth to do so!

Now, aside from the news, we'd like to update you on the current WIP of the game as there haven't been one in a good while. This is due to the things we're working on, notably the builds sharing system (named the M.A.S.S.). Systems are extremely difficult to show in WIP as it's mostly a back-end coding work but we'd like to say it's still an ongoing system we're working on. We've also taken into consideration of requests and concerns and there's a lot to discuss through.

While our programmers are working through that, we've also been preparing for TGS 2024 as announced that we'll be attending. As soon as we're done with the event, we'll start updating you in frequent updates regarding the system again, and we hope you can forgive us for not posting any news in the past few weeks.

Thank you for understanding, see you soon!

Welcome back to a new WIP update for M.A.S.S. Builder, this week featuring our still-in-design M.A.S.S. feature! As the phrasing suggested, we are still designing the feature but have explored a lot of options on how it will work which we shall share with you today.

First and foremost when thinking of this new feature, we looked back to how we can implement it into the game without breaking the game itself. To that, out of all the multiple choices that we have, upgrading an existing feature to implement a new one is what we've decided as the best and easiest.

So, which feature is the easiest to work with? To us, it's importing M.A.S.S. units from one slot onto another. Upgrading the feature to be able to export the unit in some method, then importing it into a slot just like you do with other-slots-importing should be the best method out there. It will also help with the problem of misclicking imports and deleting days or months of works.

How will the new importing, exporting, and sharing works? For now, we're thinking of creating either a really long code to copy or a file that players can export from the game. This code or file can be shared to anyone else so they can be imported into other save files. We are still unsure on whether one is the better choice and there are merits and demerits for both. But one thing we will keep in mind is the ease of use which is why we wanted to have it as a code as well as some thoughts in the back about having previews somehow before importing.

We're also designing a method to allow players to import and export certain group of parts or just parts themselves and not the whole M.A.S.S. unit. This means players can export only the body group, the arms group, or individual weapons along with all the attached accessories and paintjob to share only those certain parts. We think this would help a lot when someone really liked certain parts or weapons, like a mecha-girl face, a Kaiju body, or certain weapons and want to further customize their own body and whatnot.

Well, all of it is still in design phase and we'd like to hear from you all, either through the steam forums or through our discord.
