M.A.S.S. Builder: Recent News

I've been distracted as all get out so here's a three parter. Having said that, I think once M.A.S.S. Builder releases either 0.11.0 or 0.12.0 I'm going to stop writing about the news itself unless it's particularly important. I want to make another shift since half...

M.A.S.S. Builder: Speed Adjustments

by | Mar 5, 2022 | Blog, MASS Builder

Let’s face it, everyone wants more nyoom for their vroom. Thankfully we’ll be getting more of that in 0.9.0. Not just in terms of travel time, but also in melee combos.

M.A.S.S. Builder: Speed Adjustments

This boosting speed curve seems a bit nuts on the face of it, almost like the mechs are going to get ramjets bolted onto them in the next major update. That’s not to say something like this wouldn’t be welcome, and it’s clearly going to top out at what looks like x4 the original starting acceleration?

Speed Curve (Before and After)

When you have to backtrack or get to the next area, the normal boosting feels oddly stale; it’s actually kind of immersion breaking and I’m not even sure why that is.

There’s also the matter of melee combos, which are also going to pick up speed toward the end. I normally play shooting builds, but I’ve had my fair share of episodes where I’ve put down the guns, rushed in with a beam sword, and started killing mobs left and right.

Here’s hoping the combo speed curve comes out well.
