Bot Colony _redux News

[p]Hey Bot Colony fans!

We wanted to share a look at how Bot Colony _redux is evolving with a gameplay clip from our new Humanity Test, which will be part of the Playtest branch (sign up here!).[/p][p]This short scene features two AI interrogators testing whether a player is truly human or a synthetic impostor. The robots are suspicious, sarcastic, and in full control — and it all plays out through real-time mic or keyboard interaction.[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]✅ More expressive AI dialogue
NPCs respond more naturally and stay in-character through complex back-and-forths — including interrogation logic, emotional tone shifts, and even insults (when they feel like it).[/p][p]✅ Voice input that actually matters Bot Colony _redux pushes voice interaction to the front. You speak, they listen, and they react according to what you say, and how you say it.[/p][p]✅ New level design with high-stakes interaction
The Humanity Test is a fully replayable scenario built to stress-test conversational AI under pressure, with different scenarios & outcomes depending on the way you play.[/p][p]
We look forward to hearing your thoughts! :) [/p][h2]

Your feedback from this Demo will help shape what comes next.[/p][p]If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to talk in a game and be understood, now’s the time! Give it a try and let us know what you think on our Discord.[/p][p]🤖 See you in Bot Colony.[/p]

We are excited to share a sneak-peek into the visual transformation our game has seen over the past months and years of hard work! 🤩

[h3]Without further ado... ta-da! 🥳[/h3]
What you see here is a 1:1 comparison of the same scene, one from earlier in development, and the other a completely rebuilt version with richer atmosphere and striking details to bring our immersive storytelling to life.
This is not only a comprehensive update to models, textures, and level design, it's a complete artistic reimagining powered by Unreal Engine 5.5 with a special focus on Lumen dynamic lighting, which we hope you will appreciate.

This is from a brand new level previously unseen created to highlight how far we’ve come since the original Bot Colony's release. It takes place on a huge off-shore oil rig in the Pacific that you can freely explore, with huge replayability value* and with our latest visual updates it's looking better than ever!
*(you choose how to engage and interact with the NPCs and environment!)

We’re working hard to elevate every corner of the experience. Be it graphics, gameplay, performance, and fidelity to the world of Bot Colony.

📢 We hope this gives you a taste of the passion going into every pixel, and we invite you to join our Discord for first-access to Dev Updates & Game Announcements.

Thank you for being here. The road to _Redux is full of milestones, and we’re excited to bring you along. As a reminder, we have a free Demo on the way and a Closed Beta you can apply to here.
