- Build (1.3.4) - New Update Now Available! - 4 May 2017
OVERVIEW This is a smaller update that includes the ability to train your existing units with a new class. There are three additional sub-classes which are Tech Specialist, Medic and Commando. The cost to train a unit is either 10,000 Credits for their first sub class and 15,000 Credits for their second sub-class. While a unit is in training they cannot be used in missions. It takes 7 days for a unit to complete their training. That’s right, in the future, you can be a medic with only 7 days training. WHAT’S NEW IN 1.3.4: Training of Additional Classes 3 new sub-classes, which are Tech Specialist, Medic and Commando. Cost to train a unit in their first sub-class is 10,000 Credits. Cost to train a unit in their second sub-class is 15,000 Credits. You can train as many units as you like, but they will not be available for missions while in training. Training takes 7 days to complete - it’…

- Build (1.3.1) - New Update Now Available! - 15 March 2017
OVERVIEW This is a smaller update that includes Steam Achievements and optimizations to side mission levels. Our goal for the Sprawl rooftop levels was to increase the performance and raise the frame rate. You should see an improvement when playing these rooftop levels. In addition, we’ve added some more content to the rooftop levels to provide a greater amount of variability. WHAT’S NEW IN 1.3.1: Steam Achievements Steam Achievements are now live, offering both visible and hidden achievements to unlock. Side Mission Optimizations Performance improvements made to the Sprawl rooftop procedural levels. Additional Sprawl rooftop areas to explore. WHAT’S COMING NEXT: We’re currently working on a feature to allow players to train their mercenary units with new sub-classes. So players can choose if they wish to upgrade their existing 1-star unit to a 2-star unit, for example. We’re also rebal…

- Build (1.2.2) - New Update Now Available! - 4 March 2017
OVERVIEW We have some major enhancements in this latest release. First, and most important, as mentioned in the previous release notes, we’ve revamped unit abilities. You’ll now have more choice when upgrading your unit’s abilities. However, for existing saved games, you will need to re-spend your unit’s ability points again. This will take a little time for you to update all your units again but we felt it would be far more frustrating if we auto-spent all those abilities points for you. You should not lose any of your unit’s ability points. For more information, please read below. WHAT’S NEW IN 1.2.2: Unit Abilities All Trait Trees have been updated (Assault, Sniper, Heavy, Engineer, Tech Specialist, Medic & Commando) to have 3-branches for you to unlock. New Traits have been added such as Stun Grenade, Taunt and Combat Drugs. Enhancements to traits such as Hacker/Utility Drone, Suppr…

- Build (1.1.10) - New Update Now Available! - 17 February 2017
OVERVIEW We’ve added a bunch of new features and we plan to do a quick additional update in the following days, which will introduce campaigns and roof-top levels for side missions. In this first update, we’ve implemented a free-look camera system. This is still work-in-progress with some further work needed to improve it further. We’ve also added a mini-map, which makes navigating mission levels a lot easier. The one item we haven’t addressed is the tactical pause feedback that we’ve had. We do like the pause feature we currently have in the game (activated by pressing SPACEBAR). This feels like it’s working well so we haven’t implemented a full tactical pause system. WHAT’S NEW IN 1.1.10: New Mini-Map The missions now provide a mini-map to help guide players through the slums of Sprawl. You can still use the Objective Tracker feature by pressing the “O” key (default binding). Free Loo…

- Build (1.1.4) - 17 January 2017
OVERVIEW Welcome to our Alpha release of M.E.R.C. - a real-time, squad-based, strategy game. So where are we at in our development phase? The level of polish and completion of games released via Early Access varies greatly. For M.E.R.C., we’re at Alpha. We have our core gameplay integrated, but needs refinement and additional layers of AI, both in terms of the player’s units and NPC’s behavior. Levels need to go through an additional layer of dressing and polish both visually and balancing. We also have an introduction to the metagame, which includes Unit Management, Unit Upgrades, Equipment Upgrades and our global threat and reputation system. We have co-op multiplayer implemented so players can battle alongside each other in both story-based and side missions. The first user-experience needs further refinement and communication, in general, needs a major update. The meta-game, in part…
