The Hong Corporation, Air units and Development Status
We wanted to all show you a little status update concerning the game as well as the Hong Corporation overall, we're excited to show you more and talk a little bit about everything that's been happening and the overall development status.
As always this is an early build of the game and everything you see is subject to change. We can't wait to hear your thoughts on our various platform and hope you enjoy this dev log!
Status Report
Let’s look at Hong Corp, one of the first factions we are planning on finishing soon. To keep you tank fanatics rolling while on the field, we’ve finished work on the Repair Truck, the Corporation’s solution to any damage their heavy tanks could face while on the field! Accessible through upgrading your ol’ Supply Truck, the flatbed is now stashed to the brim with spare Armonite armor plating, diagnostic tools and maintenance equipment!
We’ve also worked on the Air System a bunch, and we’re proud to show you our work. Hong may not be known for their air units, but that doesn’t mean they can pull a mean sucker punch when you least expect it! Designed around supporting their armor, they won’t be the ones you’ll fear most but they’ll certainly not be a good sight on the battlefield.
First and foremost, the Imperial! This converted transport helicopter has been retrofitted into a heavy gunship with the help of multiple rocket pods and a heavy autocannon, with its storage space filled with spare rounds and explosives. As you might expect, this makes it a slow and vulnerable target, but it is quite capable of destroying anything that might threaten ground troops from afar. Its rocket pods can severely maul heavy armor, and light vehicles that could evade them will fear its autocannon!
There is one thing tanks fear particularly, and that is air units. How can you potentially defend such a big target as a Monarch super heavy tank from enemy jets? The answer is the Needletail interceptor of course. This amazingly fast rocket-powered plane is armed with a limited yet deadly payload of missiles able to target enemy air units just as well as ground units. Its speed is not always an advantage however, it will rapidly overshoot targets, and the size of the engine means there is little room for protection. Be careful when deploying them, but always remember a flight of Needletail can rapidly clear the air space of threats!

The Art Of Destruction
We've aimed to provide a sense of realism by using physics-based animation, thus showcasing how an actual structure like this would collapse under stress. As you can see the results are impressive!. Anything from command centers toppled by battle damage to ammunition stocks going up in a fireball!
And of course, its all rendered in-engine so you'll see much the same in-game as your Rhinos roll over a Hong base and destroy all they see!

Commanding Nations News Resuming From First of May!
We wanted to inform you all that in the last few weeks, we had decided to go radio silent out of respect for our friends, colleagues and all the people in Ukraine. While we made no external announcement except for our Patreons, we have been hard at work making significant progress with Commanding Nations. We will thus be resuming our regular communications starting the first of May.
But that's not all, a while back we announced our first game as a publisher: Reforger. We are more than happy to announce that we will also be sharing information about the title and OO Games, its development studio, from the same date onward.
We thank you all again for your interest in Seven Volts Games, and hope to be able to give you all much to be excited about in the future! Believe it or not, the simple interactions with our community has been a massive force of motivation and a reason for us to keep pushing!
For those of you that would like to be more involved, you can talk to us directly as well as get the latest images and teasers concerning the game over on our Discord server.
