Hello Humans!

Thank you for all your support in these many years of development. We are so happy to show you the new trailer and tell you the release date for Clone Drone in the Hyperdome.

In Clone Drone in the Hyperdome, sword fight with killer robots in an all-out VR tournament of death! You are Blink, a teleporting robot who is the newest “looprunner” gladiator forced to compete in Crashloop, a deadly roguelike combat sport. Die and reawaken in an endless loop, leap over lava pools, avoid turret fire, take down waves of enemy defendroids, and feel your sword disintegrate their metal bodies. Deal damage exactly where your cut lands using our stunning voxel combat engine! To win your freedom, battle your fellow looprunners for a chance to fight the Captain in the Hyperdome…

[h3]Combat Precision & Epic Voxel Destruction[/h3] The ability to cut robots with swords has never felt better! Players can slice robots arms, legs, and heads off with their sword precisely where they aimed, but they’ll need to be careful because their enemies can do the same to them.
[h3]Incredible Weapon Selection[/h3] Inside the Crashloop, players can choose from a wide variety of weapons, including broadswords, scythes, axes, and shields. Every looprunner mini-boss has their own unique weapon called a turbofist, which players can acquire by defeating them in duels or triple threat matches.
[h3]Combat Relationships [/h3] After a run in the Crashloop, players are sent back to the loading room, where they’ll confront the same looprunners they just battled. The player’s decisions of who they attacked and when will determine their relationships with the other looprunners.
[h3]Roguelike Tournament to the Death[/h3] The player is the newest looprunner in the Crashloop, a deadly combat arena that changes every run through. To win a run in Crashloop, the player must be the last survivor of the tournament, where they battle other looprunners to the death, so they can move on to fight The Captain in the Hyperdome.
[h3]All New Gameplay Experience, Fit for VR [/h3] The Clone Drone in the Hyperdome experience, building off the success of Doborog’s indie hit Clone Drone in the Danger Zone, brings robot fighting to VR with new content, characters, story and more. The game has been built from the ground up to push what it's possible to do in VR forward, such as implementing physics based sword combat and interactions optimized for the best VR gameplay experience.

Clone Drone in the Hyperdome is launching on December 12th, 2024 and will be available on the Meta Store for Oculus 2 and 3 and Steam for PC VR.

While these animations don't all fit the theme of Apocalypse, they put a lot of effort into being fun and well animated! For those of you looking for an award next time, this was our least entered category so there are more chances to be picked! This time there were only 3 entries!

Well done competition entrants! While our judges decide on who will win the other categories, you can vote for your favorites to win more prizes!
