Amazing Seasun Games’ Mecha Break has seen some impressive progress lately, with the developer offering a ton of content for their live-service title. It hasn’t been without its issues though – Mecha Break, in particular, has had some mixed reactions toward its overall monetization and game makeup.
However, the developers have formulated a plan to support the game for quite some time, indicating their strong desire for long-term progression. While the indefinite support period is quite nice to have, it does make one question whether it will actually come to fruition.
Mecha Break Developer Highlights The Challenges Of Maintaining A Live-Service Game
Speaking to PCGamer in an exclusive interview, Kris Kwok – the CEO of Amazing Seasun Games mentioned the many challenges faced by the team during its developmental phases, as well as of the many hurdles associated with live-service.
Maintaining a game with a live service format is no joke after all, especially given how intense the competition is. After all, many titles have come and gone – sizzling out well under two years of their launch. Concord and MultiVersus in particular, are glaring examples of the same with Concord not even lasting a whole year.
Amazing Seasun Games is, however, quite confident regarding their chances though. The developer aims to support their newest title, Mecha Break for an indefinite amount of time. This is quite the bold initiative, and how Amazing Seasun Games will manage to pull this off (if they ever manage to) remains to be seen.
Mecha Break Open Beta is Available for All to Get Involved on Steam, and It’s Already Absolute Chaos
Kwok also mentioned the challenges faced during development, and of their plans for the future. For starters, Mecha Break has to capture more than its core audience – that is, evolve to become more than just a mecha game.
It still will remain a mecha game in its heart though, just with added flavor to appeal to players who are usually not interested in the admittedly niche genre. This should, in theory, allow the game to reach popularity even amongst a landscape dominated with battle royales and looter shooters.
Additionally, Mecha Break is kind of unique, in being a large PvP mecha battler, at least of this scale. Most mecha games lack the scope and customization of Mecha Break, and having your player character pilot a large-scale Gundam remains one of its charms.
Mecha Break Is Composed Of A Seasoned Team With Indefinite Support In Mind
This isn’t Amazing Seasun Games’ first rodeo with the live-service genre though. The team consists of seasoned veterans, with CEO Kris Kwok being associated with the game design industry for over 21 years.
The team consists of passionate developers, and have experience with crafting live-service titles. One particular example would be in JX3 Online, which is a China-only MMORPG which has been in service for over an impressive 15 years!
As such, Mecha Break seems to be in quite capable hands, and Amazing Seasun Games seems raring to tackle any challenges that may appear.
Mecha Break has seen an impressive player count on Steam in its initial beta phase, but has been the subject of controversy, thanks to its often outrageous monetization practices.
