Mobile Weapon 2: Developer Diary #1

Hi Guys,

It's March and time to start a new series of posts for the developer diary for the 2nd episode in the Mobile Weapon Series... Mobile Weapon 2!

Currently, we're working on a few things at the same time:
- Mobile Weapon 2 (aka. Main Quest)

2 mobile games (aka. side quests)
- Mobile Weapon: Tactics Command (MW:TC)
- Pocket Café.

Malc (who was our game tester now programmer) and Dz (our game artist for MW1) are now working with us full time so we can get more things done more quickly. We'll be buying some new workstations this weekend. We've also budgeted more $ for music and additional artwork this time round.

We've done a review of all the MW1 systems. We've been listening to your feedback! I have a tonne of improvements planned for ALL of MW2's game systems (combat, exploration, upgrading MAW, etc). I'll post a list of these improvements as soon as we're done coding them.

I'll be taking over the writing for the story for the MW series from episode 2 onwards so expect many more mysteries, revelations, characters' backgrounds and more infomation on what's really going on in the vast world of Sios! The landmass for MW2 is about 10-12 times that of Acero Isle (There'll be a new free roaming world map exploration system). MW1 was just setting of the stage!

As for all your inquiries about the release date for MW2. I can't confirm it. MW2's main quest will be 2-3 times longer than MW1's, have improved graphics, gameplay, etc, etc, etc... so yeah, it will take us quite sometime.

I released my estimate for the release date on our forum a few months back. I can discuss the date with you guys in the forum but we won't be making an official announcement here yet.
