Dev Log #25: More World Building Progress, Community Spotlight: Bot & Level

Hello Inventors!

Another week, another Dev Log!

As we are currently working on improving World Building for the second iteration. There are still many things that we need to get done before the release, but in the meantime, we hope that you are enjoying World Building V1!

We've seen that levels are being uploaded to the Workshop, which means we will start having two spotlights each week, one for bots and one for levels, how exciting!

More World Building Features


We believe that adding logic to the mix will be the difference between night and day when it comes to creating levels. The goal is to make your very own races, competitions, and objectives in your levels.

You can place triggers to activate a bunch of different types of scenarios.



Also, with different base logic cubes , you can use to script your levels.



We will try to have activity-based blocks that you can use like a scoreboard.



You can then connect these to triggers and base logic cubes.



And viola!



Please note that these are very early teasers showing off these elements. These are not final and most things we have featured are subject to change.

Community Corner!


As we have introduced our World Building V1 Update, we have noticed a surge in Steam Workshop entries which is amazing to see!

To celebrate this, we are now going to have a full feature called "Community Corner!" into our Dev Log's each week. One Spotlight will feature our usual "Bot Builds" and the other will feature a "World Building creation".

Don't forget to hop into our Discord and share your Bots and Levels and meet other Inventors to challenge in Multiplayer! Just click on our Discord logo below to join!



This week's Bot Build and World Building Spotlight both go to ADORABLE!

[h2] Community Spotlight: Bot Build Of The Week [/h2]

This week's Bot Build is the Bugatti 50T Oldtimer from ADORABLE!



This build has a lovely red chrome effect on the paint work, a small heart at the front for a bit of style and the boot of the car even opens! You could say that this Bugatti is adorable!

[h2] Community Spotlight: World Building Level Of The Week [/h2]

This week's World Building Spotlight also goes to ADORABLE!

We took ADORABLE's Bugatti 50T OldTimer for a spin on their F1 Race Track to see how it faired against the wide bends and speedy strips! We spun off but made a great recovery and got back on track in the end!



Test out your Bot Build creations on ADORABLE's F1 Race Track and see what top speed you can make around the track!

Dev Log #23: More World Building V1 Teasers, Night Time Mode Sneak Peek & More!

Hello Inventors!

We are hard at work getting together the World Building V1 update ready for you all. We can't wait to see what our amazing community is going to create when our update releases. As mentioned in our previous Dev Log #22: "All the pieces are now in place, and we are working on tying everything together".

We can officially announce that World Building V1 will be dropping on Tuesday 15th September!

We have been creating many different objects, obstacles, tracks and even a roller coaster as we've been testing out World Building V1 in our studio.

Here are some of the creations straight out of the Bad Yolk Games creative kitchen! We hope you enjoy these GIFs as much as we have been enjoying working on this update for you all.

Take a look below to get a peek at what is coming soon with World Building V1!

Ready-Made Tracks


Here are a few tracks that we have created using our World Building tool!

Like this obstacle course...



We had to make a roller coaster ride!



and here is a radical race track!



Blocks To Play With!


We've got so many different types of blocks to build and play around with, here is a little showcase of some different types of blocks!

Surface blocks!
Asphalt, sand, dirt, snow, and ice!



Race-track blocks!

Twists, bends, turns, ramps, loops, and more!



Obstacle Blocks!

These Obstacle Blocks can really ramp up the challenge level and acan also be used to create some amazing playgrounds!



Beam blocks!

Here are some different kinds of beams! These can be used to creature structures and also for climbing.



Railway Blocks!

These railway blocks can be used to create rails for trains to run along. Who doesn't love trains?!



Night Time Mode Progress


We are currently hard at work on getting our World Building V1 update ready, but we wanted to show off a little something that we are working on behind the scenes. Alongside our development on World Building V1, we are working on a Night Time Mode for Main Assembly.

Work continues in the background for Night Time Mode and we look forward to sharing more on this in the future with you all! For now, here is a very sneak peek preview GIF showing off Night Time Mode, can you spot the Northern Lights in the sky?



Community Spotlight - Baksteen's Kartrace Entry


This week's creation comes from Baksteen!

Here is their description from their Steam Workshop page:

"My kart I've build on the stripped chassis originally from princess, and this might spoil the surprise of my weaponry, but this version doesn't have any weapons. Weapons tend to be really anti-stability, and without the sawblade launcher, could make my wheels less wide, and thus make it look nicer."
