hey,
Mostly I stay in the technical section of the forums, but I figured posting here might make more sense.. please move this if it's better suited to a different forum, sorry for being such a noob!

Anyway: we've finally managed to get our game Robotology started (after a year of groundwork-laying), and have put up a couple videos showing some of our exciting adventures in the world of simulating robots. Just in case anyone here is interested, our blog has about 5 readers so I'm assuming most people haven't seen this yet Smiley

No, it's a more traditional platformer, it's just that all the creatures in the world are fully simulated articulated characters rather than simple boxes. So, the things walking in the videos would be "enemies" which the player interacts with.. possibly like Shadow of the Colossus? Can you tell it's still very early in development? Smiley

We do have some spin-off ideas in mind if we ever have time later, for robot-battle-arena/soda constructor type games; SC was definitely a big inspiration though, which pushed us to think about animation and physics.

Welp, it looks really rad already.

I can't wait to see what gameplay you come up with. I made a game for one of the TIGs compos with procedural walking creatures, and coming up with a gameplay was the hardest part (I failed at it) Smiley

Oh my God. You made a virtual version of the Big Dog. Epileptic I can't play this game--I'll be traumatized.

The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea.
They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain.
In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots.
And as you go forth today remember always your duty is clear: To build and maintain those robots.

Anyway, the game´s animation system looks impressive -  Hand Point Left  Hand Point Left
