I’m preparing to quit my current job and go full-time Archrebel dev, once again. I’ll fully commit on Jan 1st, 2026. With MicroProse’s support, things will now be far more efficient.
See you on the front lines, Commander. 🫡

Rough month for Archrebel dev but things are back on track! The new level-up system is nearly done and a new weapon joins the roster: the Defense Gun; a 3-shot burst sidearm between the assault pistol and rifle; unlockable for most classes.

Finally testing the class selection screen with the new class GFX. The level-up system UI is about to be redesigned. Funny days ahead... 🥲

I had a player saying how fond he was of some of the details #Archrebel has, like the droid's flickering leds.
I took inspiration from the show you see in the video. I've seen this episode so many times that I still remember their lines when watching it now. 😅

Yeah, usually I just ignore the haters and trolls. But sometimes I do share my two cents. I tend to practice my English when I'm taking a pause to regain my development stamina and mana.

When you know your game by heart and completely overlook that others don't. Hopefully, now it's easier for players to identify the type of grenades (explosive, EMP and smoke) without needing to access their tooltips. 🥹

It's a small adjustment, but the missiles no longer draw on top of the smoke. You can see the effect of the second missile going through the smoke left by the first one. It's subtle but makes a huge difference.

I'm currently recording tons of videos to create a well-needed new #Archrebel trailer, showcasing all the new mechanics in place and my affiliation with Micro Prose.
It has been a long time since I made these missiles fly.

It's a bag? It's a mine? Nope, it's a cloaking device that masks a unit's signature from enemy eyes. It comes with an area of effect, so it will be able to cloak multiple units; Cloaked units cannot take any action or they will break the cloaking...
