So, what exactly will the goal be in this game? Will there be a campaign? Will there be a need to capture locations and gather resources to build more robots? Etc...

Or is it just a general-purpose robot-building-and-combat sandbox?

[Chattox]

So I took the plunge and bought the $30 alpha, and... oh boy I'm going to have to set aside a weekend or two to get my head around this. It looks amazing though.

New trailer looks pretty sweet.

Oh... my... goodness...

"It’s Spore, if Spore had been mechanical, and not shit."

...must... buy... this... now.


I have had my eye on this for a while, but now that I look back at it it seems to be shaping up nicely.

New trailer looks pretty sweet.

Holy shit, i'm getting this! 7 bucks? deal!

[Matz05]

The seven-dollar version is tied to Desura though, right? And it skips minor/experimental updates?
I'm gonna look this whole thing up though, as I don't actually know, that might be old information.

[Shadowlord]

Just looked on desura, it's $10 and doesn't have multiplayer yet, apparently. Also still an alpha version. Multiplayer is the whole point for me.

[Levi]

Figured its worth mentioning that RawBots is now having a kickstarter for its Multiplayer/Sandbox/Multiverse mode.

They are looking for 300,000 (a little ambitious for a niche game I think, but you never know).  It really does look pretty great though, I could see myself having fun with this for a long time.

[nenjin]

Mmmm yeah, $300k seems like it's shooting a bit too high.

[Hugehead]

I couldn't figure out exactly what the Kickstarter's for through a quick read of the page, but I assume it's for creating the sandbox multiverse and that the base game is mostly done. If that's the case then I'm glad they're going for what it's actually going to cost to develop the features to a reasonable degree, not just get them out the door half baked and buggy because they ran out of money.

[Levi]

Yeah, the Kickstarter didn't really make it that clear.  I'm hoping it picks up the pace a bit, because this is the sort of game I really like. 

Also, I asked the developer if there is going to be a subscription to this game, and he said there isn't going to be one.  Its a buy once and just play sort of deal.
