Bot Colony video is already great, lol. #beastly

My eyes glazed over at the amount of items I can buy.

Pretty much anything that is not leveling up or the four main character traits/moves has me panicked. The Courier has me panicked. The shops has me panicked. Pota scrolls... panicked. Stash panicked.

Let's panic together!

 

[Myomoto]

I have no idea what that second line means. Oh god what have I gotten myself into?



This is more like the Dota I was promised!

My days with Command and Conquer is only taking me so far.

Are you using the in-game guides? They should tell you what items to get, usually also which are most important. Otherwise, try reading up on the wiki about the different roles/heroes. To be honest, the first step is more about learning how to survive and not feed the enemy team, once you reach that level start worrying about leveling your abilities in the right order and which items to get.

Go to Wal-Mart.

HAHAHHAHHAH

Just needs a #NailedIt

 

[Myggen]

I come home after not being on the internet since Thursday, and there's so.much. content. Love it!

 

[TharpDaddy]

It's a VN with only one choice. Unless they plan on reading it out loud, there's nothing they can really do with it.

Ah, that's a damn shame. Though they could do it like Drew's alpaca game where they each read off a part.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I think I need to change Vinny's wrestling name, because Mr. Vinagawa McCaravellaburgito is too incredible

Can he have an alternate identity called "Philips"?

The same people who designed this I reckon

"Get the briefcase."

"It is too far to reach."

 

[sub_o]

Butt-Colon-y

 

[strafer]

Man, I really hope Vinny gets the briefcase

 

[daydream]

"Bomb in baggage claim" is like a level 10 emergency in the world of Bot Colony.

mike you're so fox

 

[Nishastra]

Bot Colony is the ultimate frustration simulator.

Listen guys

It's definitely still missing a lot of commands, which I guess they'll be adding now... but this is the worst example of an Early Access game. The core mechanics rely utterly on the command list being decently stacked, not to mention the speech recognition being way more solid (keyboard control makes I can forgive this somewhat, but game's a bit dull at that point).

They should have finished it first.

 

[chogidogs]

[stump sock]

I think that whole baggage claim section proves that the issues with that game run a lot deeper than spotty voice/command recognition.

 

[Nishastra]

What I'm gathering is that there's a single "correct" way to do a lot of things, and if you try to do it any other way, it fails and can become unrecoverable.

 

[NumberThree]

It looked like Mike kept trying to reach for the briefcase they'd dropped on the scanner earlier.

I don't think there's anything the developer can do about the recognition since the game is using the Windows speech recognition.

Plenty of better, alternate speech engines out there. Using the Windows one is just another reason in a long list of why its a terrible game.

poster

I happened to end up in a Michaels yesterday, and I desperately tried to find what the poster's dimensions were while in there. I didn't see any 18x36 frames, though. Looks nice!

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Also, even if this games works 100% at the time it still looks incredibly booooooooooooooooooooooooooooring

 

[daydream]

Aaah, the beautiful island of Wal-Mart.

 

[mattiewheels]

Hey, have ever they mentioned what video card they use in their quick look PC?

 

[Fox318]

Man Brad needs to wear more makeup.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

IIRC they have GTX 670s.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

I wonder what Jason & Jeff think about Tekken 7. I for one am excited as hell for it.

 

[daydream]

If anything, Bot Colony makes me even more excited about Blight Club.

 

[SmithnCo]

Yeah, it looks like the most mundane shit. Who wants to control a luggage robot.

 

[Coonce]

I hope this is what the future looks like, a bunch of people repeatedly talking commands to robots

speaking of bad speech recognition, my favorite game Lifeline: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7TacvYrnjI

They could you know...

not use the windows speech recognition.

 

[stump sock]

Germans, probably, considering the games that come out of that country.

 

[Fattony12000]

Looks nice!

Thanks! We get the stuff that's important to us custom framed.

 

[NumberThree]

not use the windows speech recognition.

That's a level of dedication and competence I'm not expecting of the developer.

 

[Myggen]

Have to say, I really like this Alex/Vinny combo.

I ended up receiving three of these posters from Social Imprints and they were all damaged via shipping. I didn't have the heart to ask for a fourth replacement.

 

[Volotaire]

It still has some work to go, but I've got to say I'm enjoying it too.

 

[daydream]

So, is GB-GAF going to win the International next year or what?

TharpDaddy and I have started training already. If you want to join in, PM me or post or whatever. Have to say, it's 1000x more fun with other people.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

One part of me wants to feel bad for the Bot Colony developers... and then I remember the briefcase and Philips.

If you guys win, I will donate 10 dollars to buy you guys a fridge.

 

[Chabbs0]

The Bot Colony dev was in the comments of the first video, I can't think he can defend the game after this new video.

Yeah, I mean, even if the voice recognition worked, the game looks really boring.

If it was like you talking to robots and your conversations affected the story, that would be cool.

 

[brianmcdoogle]

Does anyone have a link to the Adobe Air app someone made that had upcoming or live notifications? I can't seem to find it.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

I found funny that in this Cyberpunk future the robots had displaced human workers in almos all tasks but still they can't follow basic commands and even admit that they know very few. Someone pointed out that Mike keep pointing the briefcase in the Xray case because is the last memory it has from it, but is fucking maddening gameplay and in game world wise and makes pretty much impractical having a robotic system in first place. Then again, why a fucking baggage carrier robot has AI?

 

[Zornack]

Have to say, I really like this Alex/Vinny combo.

Yeah, it works way better than I thought it would.
