About a year ago Stompy Bot Productions began developing Heavy Gear Assault. They managed to keep a lot of the details secret, but just about everyone realized the game was going to be influenced by Heavy Gear Arena. I have been waiting a long while to find out about all the details. I’m happy to let you know about their Kickstarter.
