Field notes from building Mechs Tape — a free cassette-future hexploration roguelike. A new tape goes on the rack whenever there's something worth logging.
Two Mechs Tape updates: pixel-art dice that tumble across the screen, and a Final Fantasy-style side-view battle screen with sprite animations and a battle-start sting.
Mechs Tape's biggest visual pass yet — the map becomes an analog dashboard, crew cards you can read, a Walkman title screen, and every screen rebuilt as one machine.
The v0.20 Mechs Tape update: terrain-painted maps, a campfire you can rest at, a keepsake Mixtape Log, mech signature moves, and a between-run garage.
The v0.13 Mechs Tape devlog: a rival you can finally feel, a world that fills with new faces, tighter fights, and the small fixes that make a playable game feel finished.
v0.12 of Mechs Tape, the free lo-fi hexploration roguelike: tap any resource to see what it does, low-supply nudges, and dice that land before the numbers move.
