Mobile Weapon BETA v0.46+ FAQ

2) Added new recruitable party member: Calisto
3) New areas: Iron jungle + Acero Terminus + Costa De Acero
4) Able to paint all party members' MAWs
5) New monsters (monster may be reallocated so we won't give details)
6) Added Malc's store to Azure Cove
7) Random townsfolk in Acero Terminus (see if you can spot some of our forum contributors there!)

Pentium III 700MHz or faster processor

How many people are playing:






F.A.Q.:

Q0) Where can I play the game?
A: You can play the latest BETA version at http://www.mobileweapon.net/files/mw1/

Q1) How come I can't save my game?
A: You can only save in safe areas (like town) or in boss areas.

Q2) What are Reflex, Accuracy and Technique for?
A: Reflex affects your evasion rate and is needed for more powerful melee weapons.
Accuracy affects your hit rate and is needed for more powerful light ranged weapons.
Technique adds a small bit of damage to all your attacks and is needed for more powerful heavy / special weapons.

Q3) The grass is blocking me.
A: Press spacebar to cut the grass. You might find some treasure hidden in the grass.

Q4) Whenever I save a window pops up asking something about www.theagoraedge.com requesting permission to store information on my computer.
A: That's a browser/flash protection thing. www.theagoraedge.com is one of the official servers we are hosting our game on. If you don't allow storing, your local game will not be saved. Additionally, if you set the allowed size less than the recommended 1MB, your saves will be corrupted.

Q5) After I completed the Plasma rock quest and took the Macro-thingy ma--jig to Calisto... I returned to Uncle Ron and he asks, "Ready for that delivery job?" Then a window will appear at bottom of the screen as if a response will be given by the Main Character. However the conversation is ends without any type of Quest Update.
A: Sorry Guys, this isn't a bug. It's just where the BETA ends. On hind sight we should probably have put a notice but since the full version will be out soon we're not making changes to the BETA. The Full version should be released on 10th November 2006 while the "Augmented" version should be out on 15th December.

Mobile Weapon Developer Diary #34: New Releases and Updates

We've been getting alot of questions along the lines of: "When's the story going to continue?" and "When's the full game coming out?". I'm just going to share with you guys what our plans are for the next couple of months as well as what we're working on now.
Hopefully, that'll answer everyone's questions.

We're currently working on the full version of MW:1 and aiming for a late September release.

We owe Walden VC and Starhub technical demos so you guys can rest assured we'll definitely be releasing in September.

In Dev updates:
TY's done up a side scrolling shooter mini-game for MW:1; Derek's adding the "super"s to the combat; Ron's working on the SMU Tangram game which may be included as a puzzle mini-game used for unlocking the ruins. I'll leave that up to them to blog about those projects if they want to.

I haven't been active on the forums lately because I've got a ton of work to do. I'll post some screenshots for MW:TC (which you might have heard me mention in the forums) when I have some ready.

Cheers.
