The Gearbits expansion is progressing well. There will also be a free update when the expansion launches. I'm adding a new unit and a model viewer. #Gearbits #gamedev #Mecha

Gearbits is a mecha themed third-person shooter. There's many robots to play as and an arsenal of weapons to choose from. The demo is available on itch.io quackpond-games.itch.io/gearbits-test-… Or you can buy the game on Steam store.steampowered.com/app/2506580/Ge…

Here's one the new units I'm adding for the expansion. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I think that the design really gets across the "fast but flimsy" feel of the machine. The game is on Steam! have a look. store.steampowered.com/app/2989880

Here's another new unit. The spider tank is a radical departure from the other units, but I still feel like I managed to remain true to the games aesthetics.

This is the GB-01S the very first unit I modeled for the game. I'm quite happy with the actual design, but I learned a lot about 3D modeling since making this, so If I were to remake it, I'd model it differently. store.steampowered.com/app/2506580 #Gearbits #Mecha #gamedev

This is the most basic unit in the game. The GB-01 It was modeled by "gruntifying" the commander unit. It's not as flashy, but it tries its best. You gotta respect the mook units. store.steampowered.com/app/2506580 #Gearbits #Mecha #gamedev

This was the first "heavy" unit in the game. It wasn't designed to look as "cool", because my headcanon was that it was a piece of construction equipment retrofitted into a fighting unit. Even so, I think it came out alright. store.steampowered.com/app/2506580 #Gearbits #Mecha #Gamedev

This one doesn't seem to get a lot of love. Maybe because its stats in the game aren't the best. Still. I kinda like the design. It combines some slick looking Gundam-y aesthetics with the more clunky features and proportions. store.steampowered.com/app/2506580 #Gearbits #Mecha #gamedev

With this one, I tried to go to a new direction. I wanted it to look distinct from the other units. As a result, it's pretty far from my own aesthetic sensibilities. Still, I like some of the details on it. store.steampowered.com/app/2506580 #Gearbits #Mecha #gamedev

Despite having a very distinct leg design, this unit uses the same animation rig as the other units. I feel that the shape successfully communicates that this is a unit for heavy, long-range firepower. store.steampowered.com/app/2506580 #Gearbits #Mecha #gamedev

This one stands out because it's so colorful. I wanted the colors and markings to evoke a race car covered in sponsor decals. A lot of people say this is their favorite. Personally, I like it, but not that much. store.steampowered.com/app/2506580 #Gearbits #Mecha #gamedev

The Lanius is one of the most rounded unit in the game. Both in design and gameplay. I have mixed feelings about taking such a different approach. Still, If I were to remake it, I would probably only change the lower leg design. store.steampowered.com/app/2506580 #Gearbits #Mecha #gamedev

The feldspar is probably the most "villainous" unit in the game. The color scheme, along with the sharp and edgy look, gives it a menacing appearance. Still, it's only a machine. A righteous pilot can make it an ally of justice! store.steampowered.com/app/2506580 #Gearbits #Mecha #gamedev
