Dev Log #19 - Next Big Update Feature: World Building V1 & Community Spotlight

Hello Inventors!

We can’t explain how fun it is to see all your creations in the workshop, especially when we add new things to the game and see it being implemented in your bots.

We are working hard on getting our next update out. The main feature of this update will be World Building.

World Building will allow you to tailor the experience to your liking by adding jumps, races or even mini-games!



By launching any sandbox map you will be able start placing objects do this by yourself or together with your friends and then challenge them, and when your happy with what you have made share it on the Steam Workshop!

This is a feature that will take several months to finalize. To stay true to the Early Access spirit we figured that we should release it in stages and by doing that, bring you along for the ride!

Multiple Updates


World Building will evolve over several updates. Where the first update will be the basic functionality of placing and moving static objects in the world.



When we release the second World Building update is when things get really interesting! That’s when we aim to release the ability to make your own races and mini-games by having an ability of connecting objects to each other. More on this second update when we get closer to that one.

The third World Building update will be a Content Pack where we add more objects that expand on the overall experience.
