This interview was done by Umbrellacorp Gamer around Sep 22, 2024, shortly after our first major article. We talk about design philosophy, what we want SBD to feel like and get into game mechanics.

We do public Discord calls after major events. Join the Discord for the next community call coming soon!

🎥 Watch the Debut Trailer:

• Another turn-based RPG, this time being inspired by PS1-era classics. The completely hand-drawn pixel art returns in higher fidelity, along with an dynamic synth OST composed once again by Andreas.

• Set in a fractured future, a story centered on an evolving conflict between a technocratic dystopian nation, and a rebellious solarpunk-inspired "paradise" where anti-tech sentiments have begun to brew.

• The player joins Selva, a hardened anti-machine mercenary, as she joins forces with Jiro, a gifted engineer from a sterile AI-ruled underground "utopia", to lead a silent rebellion.

  

• Similar to Beloved Rapture: The game is heavily focused on narrative depth, a dreamy retro presentation, philosophical conflict, and slow-burn character dynamics.

• Unlike Beloved Rapture: The player is no longer locked into specific regions depending on the story progression. Robot Rhapsody allows you to explore most of the entire game world from the very beginning, with dynamic and constantly 'evolving' locations to keep things fresh too.

• A game deliberately built to evoke the melancholic, low-tech yearning of late-90s RPGs—filtered through a modern lens.

• Tackling modern topics such as "AGI", consciousness, digital identity, utopian vs dystopian paths for technology, internalized trauma, billionaires who "play god" with civilization, whether AIs can ever "be creative", naturalism vs futurism, and other themes.

  

I can't thank you all enough for the continued support, and contributing to my indie dev journey, in ways big or small.

Another update will be coming later this month; a separate post concerning Beloved Rapture's DLC! Look forward to that as well!

Cheers,

• When returning to the game after a save, the dishes were mixed up on the counters. Attention! For the correction to work, you need to replace your dishes on the counters at least once. It then works without problem, there will be no more mixing.

Season 6: Theme 5


Build a level using only 80 blocks!

Looking for ideas? How about creative use of scaling to get the most out of the block count!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the discussion thread of this news post! Good luck, and happy building!

• Your track should be complete and submitted by Sunday, 6th July 2025 at 18:00 BST
  
• Submissions will be combined into a single workshop item after the deadline above

1. You can only submit one level (you can modify or replace your submission as much as you like until the deadline)
   
2. Level collaborations are permitted (Maximum of 3 players per level. This counts as a level submission for each individual creator. Please name/mention collaborators when submitting)
   
3. Level author name MUST contain the submitters' Steam (or Discord) username
   
4. The name of the level MUST start with "ZSL - " (e.g "ZSL - My Level")
   
5. Your submission MUST be created within the 3 week building period. Please do not re-upload older maps—even if they fit the theme!

1. Exactly 80 blocks. No less, no more.
   
2. The block counter in the level editor UI is what matters, not the load time counter. Podium only counts towards block count if you manually place it.

1. Scaling track pieces is permitted
   
2. Level MUST follow any theme requirements set above
   
3. Level MUST be exactly 80 blocks
   
4. Level MUST have an author time above 20 seconds
   
5. Level MUST have an author time under 60 seconds
   
6. Level MUST have at least 3 checkpoints. Consider adding additional checkpoints for split timing or where it would prevent a cut, as cuts do not make for good tournament tracks!
   
7. Level MUST NOT have risky or hidden finishes/shortcuts (e.g blind shortcuts or using no-collision/invisible/logic blocks to hide a secret path that is NOT the intended route)

1. Join our Official Discord server
   
2. Upload the level to the Steam Workshop
   
3. Link the workshop item in the theme's thread in #level-submissions
   
   Don't have Discord? You can submit your entry by linking your workshop item in the comments section of this announcement post!

• Up to 15 of the submitted levels will be used for the next Zeepkist Super League event
  
  
  • Players of all skill ranges should be able to finish your level.
    
  • The more playable your level is, the more likely your level will be chosen!
• The community will vote on their favourite maps from the theme once submissions close
  
• Top 4 in the community votes for Best Decor and Best Track Layout will each win:
  
  
  • A special soapbox cosmetic in-game.
    
  • A Level Contest Winner role (Discord only)
    
  • 3,000 chat EXP in our Discord server (Discord only)

We're also hosting a themed banner contest for our Discord server banner image where you can win a special paintbrush soapbox!!

The theme is Zeepkisten III and ends at the same time as this level contest!! View the banner contest event details on Discord
