Hello and welcome to your mission briefing! :)


It's in your hands. Support the mechs and let us build a fantastic strategy game inspired by the classic SNES game Metal Marines. We have already started and need your help to finish this.

My name is Tommy Pototzki (30, from Wuppertal, Germany). I am the founder of "Byte Trail Software" and the creative head in our team. I had the vision for our first "indie" projects "Pixelsoccer" and "Mech Marines". My job is the creative part like 2D- and 3D design,  modelling and animations and also the coordination of Byte Trail.

Soon, Michael Zehr (29, from Thun, Switzerland), a well experienced game programmer who is also responsible for the interaction between graphics and logical game play has joined the team.  A work horse that only let's go of a problem when it's solved.

Completing the group with Steven “Pierreformance” (27, from Dortmund, Germany), who is looking after sound design and music composing, especially for the game “Mech Marines”.

As we're designing the game from scratch, the project is getting pretty time intense. We're working daily on the game and have now reached a level where it's hardly possible to go any further without external, financial input.

That's why we've decided to place a campaign on Indiegogo and ask for your help to finish the project.





Please have a look at the perks to see what you can get in return, if you decide to support the project.



Any donation that lands in our pot, will bring us a step closer to bring back a classic strategy game, that  deserves to return in a modern networked version within the gamers scene.

Let us realize that dream of putting new life into a real classic. New graphics, innovative game play and a well developed multi player system. Let us build a new community based on a very unique strategy game. Thanks a lot.



Even if you can't donate anything, you can still help.
