Yes, I'm well aware that the developer briefly had the game listed on Steam only to delist it a short while later. I'm also aware he swore off Steam due to its 33% cut (amongst other things). But the trend of abandoning the main Bombdog MAV website (as well as twitter) and pushing all interactions and updates onto a dscord server has caused the playerbase to dwindle away to basically nothing.

Armored Core 6 has brought the niche mecha genre into the spotlight for the first time in a while; why not capitalise and relist the game on Steam in Early Access? It'd allow for far greater visibility and ease of use.

Just a thought.

For those of you new to M.A.V., this game was heavily inspired off of the Xbox 360 title, Chromehounds. Every January 6th, on the anniversary of the online server shutdown, the community has been hosting a memorial battle to remember the good times had back on Chromehounds and to make new memories here.

This year, the developer will be joining in and live streaming Chromehounds, M.A.V., and game development all day tomorrow, January 6, 2016, starting at 9:30 AM PST (12:30 PM EST) on his Twitch page. We also encourage any former Chromehounds players to head over and share their war stories on Chromehounds Memorial.

Chromehounds was one of my favorite games of the last generation, so I'm definitely excited to have discovered M.A.V..

Only question I have before buying: how active is the game? Subreddit seems basically empty, which is a bit of a red flag.

I didn't see anything in the side bar so I thought I would ask.

in the meantime, here is my referral link for anyone looking to buy the game https://bombdogstudios.com/?bdref=ESIQMGO4PZ

If you use this link to buy the game you get a cool camo pattern in the game for free and you help me unlock some cosmetic parts. I would appreciate it! Thanks!

Is this game still being developed? I tried joining the discord but the link was inactive and I’m having trouble finding anything showing recent activity by the devs.

Plus the bombdog forums are no longer accessible.

I’d love to buy the game but don’t want to drop money on something that isn’t going to be completed or isn’t playable.

Looking for a good mech game, missing chromehounds and saw this and wanted to give it a try, but it's not on steam so i can't use steamcharts to get a rough idea. Looks like the last blog update from the devs was 10 months ago. Is this game still active?
