1 week ago There's this uncontrolled camera sway in the new build. It is both an unstable camera wobble about the current direction, as well as a general shift in the direction you're looking at.
It happens whether the mech moves or not, affecting both east and west mech settings. It does not affect space ships.
This affects both 1st person and 3rd person views while in the mech.
In this video, I am only pressing the A and D keys. I am not moving my mouse. The camera still wobbles on its own.

When moving the mouse, especially in the east mech (when the mech turns to face where you're looking), it feels like I'm fighting with the controls.
There is a technique where we build a turret on a ship that aims where the player looks, and based on the angle of the turret's rotor, we use event gates to move other mechanisms for visual effect. I used it heavily in my caterpillar mech. The uncontrolled camera motion in this latest game patch renders the technique unusable.
Is this intended? It is rather disorienting.

Mechs are being improved:
There is now a retargeting done when importing animation. You first need to define your idle angles. Then the game will compare both source and target idle angle to apply the animation angles.
East vs West control scheme: It is now possible to select between two controls scheme: East will pilot like a player, for a dynamic feel like in Japanese animation (hence the name) West will pilot more like a tank.
New Bust limb option for rotator. The bust will essentially act like a tank turret for West tank: it will follow the player mouse.
Jump ability. It is possible to jump. Hold the key longer for a bigger jump. This feature will be improved.
Hotfixes:
5817 Key added are blocked by default with symmetry.
5776 Docking can take too much time to complete
