OBEY adds "Watchtowers"!
[ 2017-03-04 01:41:09 CET ] [ Original post ]
Something has been missing in OBEY: a viable way to win as a snitch!
Enter the watchtower! Watchtowers are a way that robo can reliably pay a snitch to stay put and watch for attackers. It simply drops the given autopay every 37 seconds. So now there is a way for a snitch to earn a reliable income, and possibly win if he plays his hand right.
NOTE to newer players:
Sometimes new players get frustrated when a a different player plays as a snitch, making it seemingly impossible to subvert. There are ways to counter a snitch:
- Obtain a pointer before making a break for it. If the snitch sees you and starts pointing you out, make your own arrows in wrong places to throw robo off.
- Subvert from behind or the side of robo, grabbing items on your way to climb robo and drop down in front of the door for an instant subvert
- Trick robo into thinking that the snitch is about to win, and get him to kill or remove/reduce the snitch's autopay.
- Whisper to the snitch that you will give him major cash if he lets you subvert (use /w to type a whisper)
Other significant changes include:
- Robo's HUD now displays what buttons you can press when you hover over anything
- A/D no longer change autopay directly. You have to LOOK at the feedbox you want to change, or the watchtower. Hence, you can also set different autopay on different feedboxes if a map has more than 1.
- Added Polish and Dutch languages
- Permanent "trophies" that will show by your name if you place in tournaments! (past winners let the me or the mods know so we can mark you with some :) )
- Tons of bug fixes and improvements!
Comprehensive changelist (v .44r0):
- added 'watchtower' map element. It can be used to pay snitches, and draw them to a location.
- added context menus for robo to help know at all times what keys do what
- added autopay can no longer just be set with a/d, robo must now look at feedbox/watchtower and press a/d to set it
- added different feedboxes (and watchtowers) can now have their autopay set individually
- added reduced sensitivity/increased precision to robo mouse during zoom (feels more comfy now to zoom + look)
- added reduced sensitivity/increased precision to pointer as you look down it's reticle
- added directional indicator to pointer arrows for robo, robo will now clearly see where a snitch indicates
- added directional indicator to watchtowers for robo
- added watchtower to all maps (note: all watchtower positions subject to balancing changes or removal)
- added minerals to official maps
- added cover in tributary near obeying areas & inreased feedbox distance to make it slightly easier to escape
- added sound effects to main menu chat so you can hear if humans are typing or mentioning your name
- added in-game hint "You have turned off the robot's passive income!" if you press the powerplant button
- added in-game hint "Autopay above 4 gives bunnies higher profit than you." the first time you set > 100 autopay
- added in-game hint "Your reign ended." on subversion
- added when dropship is crashing, the interior sound pitch of the engines now slowly rises
- added when you are in a dropship and it crashes, your screen will flash white
- added Polish language! Thank you Milord!!! ^_^
- added Dutch language! Thank you Dannyiscool4! ^_^
- added /scores command. It can be used to get the final score tally from a past match
- added /tourney command. It can be used to get tallied score totals from past matches
- added /playerid command. Prints your playerID (stored in playerPrefs.txt which is used to track your stats)
- added /trophy mod command. It can be used to assign a special public rankings to players
- added /ptt # mod command. A moderator can now force a client into push to talk mode
- added /allmute # mod command. A moderator can now mute a player for everyone
- added /allunmute # mod command. A moderator can now unmute a player for everyone
- added /clear command. It clears the log text on the left of the screen
- added better feedback to map author if they forget to add spawn points
- feedboxes/powerplants no longer need to be associated to a robo. If association is not specified, nearest is used.
- reduced default dropshipChanceToCrashMod to 8000, to make it a little easier to crash
- fixed bug where it was possible to put emplacements on map elements like feedbox/powerplant etc
- fixed bug where locked/passworded servers would not display correctly in the server list
- fixed no ambient sound in tutorial
- fixed rare bug where it was possible to have a recurring overtime with the money goal crazily rising
- fixed bug in the tutorial where messages would stop popping up if you esc or tab out.
- fixed bug where a server running a long time would spam the master server
- fixed visual bug that if you put your camera inside robo it looks less broken now.
- fixed visual bug where ghost placement indicators would sometimes not scroll at the correct speed
- fixed bug where ghost placement indicators could show in the dropship
- fixed bug where robo gun windup and winddown sounds would not play
- fixed minor error generation on smoke and spark particle random seed
- fixed minor visual bug in mine, light, and sensor placement indicators

OBEY is a highly asymmetrical multiplayer game.
We've all played games where you send commands to AI units or teammates.
OBEY instead puts you in the position to command your enemies (human opponents), and to be commanded by them. Players are always free to obey/disobey. It is always up to players to deal with the consequences of their decisions in the game.
You win by bribing and coercing your opponents to do things against their own self interest (and in your interest).
If you are being coerced you have only stealth, intelligence, trickery, and creativity to escape.
OBEY is sort of like Counter Strike Jailbreak Mod meets Spy Party.
OBEY's social aspects have also been compared to Trouble in Terrorist Town and Town of Salem.
To win, make more money than any one else by the end of the round.
To make the most money, take command of the giant robot (the robot player makes 10x more than the other players per second)
You take control of it by walking into a door at the base of the robot.
The player in the robot can easily destroy any player he sees trying to approach (IF he sees them).
That’s the basics – so superficially, it plays like ‘king of the hill’.
However...
Experienced robot players will know that it is not always in their interest to simply kill approaching players.
Why not? Because he can instead coerce them to do what he wants.
and that’s where the game gets interesting…

NOTES ABOUT GAMEPLAY:
- When playing as robo... you are free to shoot everything that moves (and this might even work against friends or new players), but if you just use this against experienced players you will get subverted, and you will lose. You want your opponents controlled, not hidden and out to subvert you...
- When playing as a bunny... trying to constantly subvert in the face of an experienced robo is a terrible idea: you will spend most of your game waiting to spawn. OBEY rewards using TRICKERY, STEALTH, and INTELLIGENCE. OBEY does not reward constant blind 'guns blazing' rushing to the robot. (But what did you expect? you are a baby bunny .vs an enormous mecha-canon-turret).
REMEMBER: You will be playing against other human beings - they can not be fooled as easily as AI!
