Armed Frame Developer Details Cockpit View After Streamer Calls It 'Too Wise'
The developer's explicit focus on first-person body awareness in a mecha game continues a niche trend in shooters where looking down reveals the character's body, a detail that has generated discussion in the indie FPS community.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
The mecha action game ARMED FRAME, currently in playtest on Steam, drew attention when a streamer reported that its cockpit view is so detailed that looking down shows the pilot's body moving with the mecha, calling it 'too wise' to concentrate. Developer Hitrylogy responded, saying they put significant effort into that view for immersion. The game features customizable mecha and supports both third- and first-person perspectives.
The streamer's video showed the cockpit view looking down at the pilot's chest, which the developer confirmed was intentionally animated to match the mecha's motion and inertia. Hitrylogy responded to the post, thanking the streamer and explaining that the view was designed to add immersion. The developer also mentioned considering a feature to show the pilot via a 'wipe' window, as seen in a July 5 post. ARMED FRAME, a mecha action title with 12 customizable parts, is currently in playtest on Steam and supports both third-person and first-person views.
