Hello Experimenters!

We've just released a new update to RobocraftX which adjusts the properties of the Medium Motor and Tyre. This should make Medium Motors much more powerful than their smaller counterparts! In fact, check out a comparison below!




We felt that the Medium motor was a little too weak. So instead of the medium motor being just 1.5 times more torque than the small motor, we bumped that value up to make the medium motor have 4 times more torque than the small motor!

As a result of these changes, the Medium Motor will drain batteries 4 times faster than the Small Motor

We also felt that the tyres were too bouncy and did not meet the expectations for grip. So we made them less bouncy and then increased the friction just a little bit so tyres should now perform much better!

Thank you to everyone who has played Experiment 02 so far! Do let us know what you think by leaving a review, or sharing your creations with us!

Hello Experimenters,

The time has come, Robocraft X Experiment 02 is now live! the downlaod should start automatically, but if the download doesn't start, please try to log out and back in to Steam or verify the integrity of the game cache.

We've created a handy little video of many of the core additions in this build:

Experiment 02 will let you play as Leo, our intrepid astronaut who will create incredible machines with your help! In addition you can also explore a new map, this is still very much a work in progress and may be populated with scenery in the next experiment.



A highly requested part has also been added to the players inventory, the Tyre!



We’re also increasing the amount of blocks and cubes that you’ll be able to place within the world. We hope this will allow for more creativity and some incredible machines to be built.

Medium versions of the Hinge, Axle and Motor are also added in Experiment 02.



The other notable adjustment to this build is the ability to use the command console. You’ll be able to adjust gravity and clear all blocks in the environment.

There are also a few other additions and adjustments to this build and a full list can be found below!

• Tyre Part
  
• Medium Hinge Part
  
• Medium Axle Part
  
• Medium Motor part
  
• Inventory menu (Press Q to open and close the inventory. Drag and drop parts onto your hot bar)
  
• Leo Character
  
• Sound effects for Leo (jumping & running)
  
• Command Console & Commands. Use the following key to activate: /
  
• First iteration of the background environment

• Running is now activated by double tapping forward or using the Ctrl key
  
• Crouching is activated by pressing the shift key
  
• A character jumping on a rotating platform, should no longer prevent the platform from rotating
  
• The camera will fade out when the camera gets too close

• Parts should no longer vibrate when idle
  
• Player momentum now resets when leaving simulation mode
  
  
• Addressed an issue where builds that use motors would be capable of self propulsion, when in reality, they should not be capable of such terrifying sorcery!
  
• There will no longer invisible collisions under the player spawn

Thanks for all of the support so far and for joining us on this journey! If you want to support the development of Robocraft X further, please share it with your friends and leave a review on Steam. This all really helps us continue to develop the game further and make the best game we can!

Onward to Experiment 03!

Hello Experimenters!

We will be hosting another Dev Stream this Friday on the 24th of May 2019 at 4:00PM UTC+1!



If you want to be a part of the stream, make sure to follow our Twitch channel from the link below! We are just a few followers away from hitting that 100 Follower milestone!

RobocraftX Twitch Channel!

Do let us know if you have any questions that you'd like us to answer on the stream!

See you then!

We’d like to thank everyone for the overwhelming response to our first playable prototype! Over 1,000 of you have tried out the game and we’re looking forward to building a game WITH all you!

If you’ve played the prototype you’ve probably noticed that you controlled a floating pill with a backpack which has been named by the community as WIP!

WIP was never meant to be the final character design for Robocraft X, but we salute their valiant efforts in helping us to release the first playable prototype. They will be decommissioned in the next experiment and we hope you all join us in bidding this hero of the prototype a fond farewell.



Characters play a very important role in RobocraftX. Players will be able to select a character that suits their style, mood and tone when playing with others online. Additionally, characters will be able to even use levers to operate parts of a machine manually. And of course, they’ll be able to hop into a pilot seat and drive a user created machine!

Experiment 02 will see a brand new character take over from the legacy that WIP created. But he will not be the only one, there will be many more and some may even be designed by the community.

Please allow us to introduce the intrepid adventurer and master constructor, Leo!



Unlike WIP, Leo has several appendages which means he can run around using his own legs! But he’ll also lean when running diagonally too!





Leo will be available as the playable character for Experiment 02!



We are big supporters of user generated content and while we will be creating new characters for RobocraftX, we’d be very interested in seeing if the community has an interest in creating their own characters and releasing them via Steam Workshop.



Would you be interested in not only changing the way the model looks, but the movement, emotes and even sound? If this is something you’re interested in, let us know what you’d like to adjust and what tools would help you to create your very own characters.

Do let us know what you think of Leo and community created characters in the comments below! Thanks for all of your support so far and thank you to everyone who has left a steam review!

We can’t wait for you to play as Leo in Experiment 02!

Josh, James and Chris all played a version of RobocraftX on our Twitch channel, but we uploaded an on demand video on Youtube which you can watch below, The stream starts at about 22 minutes in!
