Waffenfabrik Zalewski
A downloadable game
BUILT BETTER, BUILT ZALEWSKI
Design and art by Konigstein and Narugaa, coding by Duvalasur.
In the backwaters of the Outer Rim, the maverick CEO of a second-rate telecomms company seeks to diversify his market share by embarking on a wild and ill-thought-out "budget military contractor" project. The mechs of Waffenfabrik Zalewski are clunky, crude, and easily within the price range of any tinpot dictator, banana republic or shabby police state looking to arm themselves.
Your mechs are low-tech and hopelessly backwards, but hey, you've got bills to pay! Suit up!

Is the Black Sun named for the Nazi symbol, or is that just an unhappy coincidence?
From Prof. Ukelele, the writer;
"It was not intended to be named after any fascist symbols and was more just based upon the theme of the Black Ambassador and the fact that stars and suns blow up a lot. I personally, professionally, and officially condemn Nazism and all of its tenets. In actuality, this was in fact a very unhappy coincidence."
Glad to hear! The combination of the term with a German-named manufacturer definitely raised an eyebrow.
Top teir mechs. Love how they Feel like an off brand in universe but are still good enough to use in game. All the quirks make them feel very unique. 10/10
This is very good content. The Mechs are fun & I *love* the option of a squad of a lads to follow you into battle.
Your work is really impressive! I'd be glad to spend $10 to check out your NPC creations. I'm curious, will there be any updates in the future?
Thanks so much! It's been a slow process, but I'm working my way through the development of the next two NPCs, the Boarder and the Contradictor, as we speak. They're coming soon(ish).
Absolutely bonkers mechs, all occupying unique niches- with some exceedingly charming art. You won't find a Third Party mech company with this much personality elsewhere
Just dropping into to say congratz on getting the .lcp up! remember seeing this on reddit a while back
Thanks so much, SHAKA! Mfecane is super cool, I'm following its development with a lot of interest.
