GAMEPLAY TRAILER
TECHNICAL TRAILER


Quote from: GREENLIGHT DESCRIPTION
A universe where you can play with amazing robots that are designed, built and even programmed by you.

Everything is a robot, doors, roads, walls, bridges, safes, traps, turrets, surveillance systems, etc. Build forts, towers and architect impressive structures to protect your planets and resources. You may play solo or with friends to infiltrate, conquer planets and gather resources.

Traditional keyboards and mouse can be used along with midi devices, gamepads, iOS and Android devices; the point is, any device may be used as a controller. Create your own input setups and master your designs, whether it is controlling a huge robot or entire armies of relentless minions.

The Rawbots universe has a unique set of matter, energy and physics laws. These laws are engineered to serve up fun emergent gameplay that is different every time you play. Everything you would expect from a sandbox game and more. We are taking this to the next level with gameplay that truly emerges beyond imagination and defined contextually by the type of robots you build. On one planet you might experience a first person shooting experience, go into a space battle in 3rd person, and down into an RTS offensive on another planet.

An intuitive and streamlined graph system will bestow the power of visual programming into the hands of creative minds. Under the hood, the latest in signal processing, inverse kinematics and PID controllers, will breathe life into your creations. From geeks, to tinkers, to grinders, there is a creation path for everyone.

And while you are building and tinkering around, we will also be busy developing story campaigns, random missions, battle tournaments and creating new and impressive bot parts.

The Indie Game Magazine - “We’ve all wanted to build our own robot fighting machine at some point in our life; usually a lack of university level robotics education tends to get in the way. Well you can kiss that lame excuse goodbye when you get your hands on the robot building sandbox game, Rawbots.”

N4G - “This might be the coolest robot-fighting sandbox game I’ve ever seen... If Real Steel had a game that allowed you to build a robot that could take on any awesome form, it would be this game.”

EVGA Gaming - “Robot crafting? Whaaaa?! Sandbox? Get out! Build ‘em! Battle ‘em! We’re there! First, though, that crafting system looks like a doozy. Think that’s wild? Oh it gets nuttier than squirrel scat! You can even control your creations with an iPhone, iPad, gamepad or other remote media device. Sickness.”

Kotaku - “Drawing on inspiration from stuff like LEGO and Spore… So you can shoot stuff, yeah, but there's also more pedestrian pursuits you can cobble together as well.”

IndieGames.com - “Judging from the technical preview video that they just released, the creation process will be both simplistic yet detailed”

Rock, Paper, Shotgun - “The building system looks really interesting, and enormously complex. It’s certainly caught our eye.”

Press2Reset - “There are few children who haven’t at some point designed or imagined their dream robot, though it’s always been difficult to realize such a dream. However, developer Rogzo‘s upcoming Rawbots might be able to do just that.”
Basically you build a base and some exploring / fighting / utility machines and, among other possiblities, use one to explore an ocean while blasting stuff from space using another.
For conquest purposes you can either deploy an army, build a giant minigun-panzer dreadnought, or just launch a kill-sat into space -- or you can forget everything and just build rock'em sock'em robots or host racing championships because why the forget not.

Oh and there will also be a campaign along with a few optional side-missions, if you get bored and want to do something specific.




The best thing is -- yes, there's a map editor but that isn't the point
YOU CAN BUY IT RIGHT NOW
and save 1/3 of your money when it releases!

i think i'm done

Why do you feel so compelled to make a topic about every game you cross paths with?

Because they're cool as hell and this is the Games forum.

Why do you feel so compelled to make a topic about every game you cross paths with?

It's a game and this is the Games board, this is the whole purpose of said board, to discuss other games

If someone doesn't make a thread about a game someone else will, and if they don't many people will never know that game even exists

Oh, and now I feel entirely compelled to buy and play this game after seeing that trailer.

I mean WOW!

It's like this game was made for me!

This isn't what I wanted spore to be like at all..

It gets irritating after a while when you come back every two or three days to try to shove some pixel poxel indie hip title in our face and then have the thread die after like 5 hours. You see, that means that people aren't really interested in the games enough for them to have individual threads that will live on by themselves. Just make a large topic for yourself like "Neat games" or something and stop making these excessive individual threads that die out faster than mayflies. If you did that, you wouldn't have to make another thread just to report about some update to a game and have that thread die after 2 pages

Do i make myself clear?

dosnt seem any bit like spore was supposed to be, or what it ended up to be.

bad comparison

It also gets irritating after awhile when you complain about every indie game people post here with retro graphics because you think it's "uninspired" or whatever the forget else, and making a thread is not "shoving it in your face". Cyber clearly wanted to share a game he found with other people, and he did so. You obviously saw the thread and decided to check it out because it seemed interesting, unless of course the only reason you're here is to beat on Cyber for "making more threads than I want him to" (which I should mention there are only 3 threads made by him that are about a specific game on the first 10 pages of this board, in other words 3 threads out of 200).

Unpopular games deserve a chance to get discussed too (you won't even know if a game will be unpopular here without actually posting the thread either), and if the thread dies then the thread dies and you don't have to look at that single line of text that is just so mind-numbingly rage-inducing for you anymore!

This is the Games board, and it is for discussing other games whether you like them or the people that post about them or not. If you like a game, discuss it with others. If you don't like a game, move on and find another. Now if I'm not mistaken there's a game to be talked about here, not this petty disagreement you have about the OP's posting behavior.

Honestly, I'm pretty thankful Cyber posted this.

Just got my hands on it.

Holy stuff, this game seems like tons of fun.
If this becomes multiplayer it's going to be hella fun making robot empires and taking over the galaxy with others.

It's already multiplayer fyi

Too bad I'm terrible at rts games.

It's already multiplayer fyi

So who wants to host a server so I can show 'em my death machines in action?
