One of the more notable aspects about the OVS was that it featured an expansive 'zoo' of hundreds of different organisms, both natural and artificial.
Many of these beasts were relatively harmless, but there was a small proportion of native exobeasts and artificially cultivated designer beasts that were monsters in their own right!
In fact, one of the secret research projects was explicitly set up to develop dangerous artificial warbeasts that could play a useful role in the upcoming war.
It was not common to deploy giant warbeasts into battle. They were expensive and difficult to develop, grow and maintain.
Transportation was another nightmare as beasts designed to destroy mechs could easily destroy cargo vessels from the inside!
Nonetheless, warbeasts could play a useful role on certain planets with rough terrain and adverse conditions.
NEW TMT SIDE STORY AND CONTEST!
I have decided to start an interactive quest story that takes place in the same setting as The Mech Touch!
This 'side story' is written from the perspective of a mech pilot whose actions are decided at the end of every chapter by vote.
Every privilege reader (when the quest goes premium) can cast votes in the comments of the latest privilege chapter!).
More importantly, EVERY READER CAN CREATE A BRAND NEW MAIN CHARACTER AND VOTE ON WHICH ONE WILL BE WRITTEN IN THIS INTERACTIVE QUEST. THIS IS A CONTEST!
Visit the #tmt-companion-quest of the Unofficial Discord Server to learn more and participate in this interactive experience!
