OBEY coming out of Early Access!
OBEY is launching fully out of Early Access next month! Ill have an exact date for everyone soon. For now, the game has received its final update in Early Access before the last one that will bring the build to 1.0 nearly five years after its initial launch on Steam, OBEY will be completed and available as a fully finished product. Alongside the update and as part of the preparation for 1.0 launch, Ive lowered the standard price of the game to $7.99. The price of the OBEY 4-pack has also been lowered to $19.99, with both price drops permanently in effect as of today. Im hoping this helps lower the barrier of entry for anyone interested in playing. If you havent already, jump on our Discord to chat with other players and get together for matches/tournaments! Well be collectively making a push over the next couple of months to populate servers in a way thats welcoming to new and returning players alike starting with our standard tournament times listed on OBEYs main menu. Those are as follows: - Every Saturday @ 8:00 PM Eastern / 5:00 PM Pacific / Midnight GMT - Every Sunday @ 4:00 PM Eastern / 1:00 Pacific / 8:00 PM GMT - Every 1st of the month @ 9:30 PM Eastern / 6:30 PM Pacific / 1:30 AM GMT
Yep, it's time to just jump to .99! OBEY has had about 50 published releases until now! First of all, the longstanding laser wall lag bug has been fixed... yes... build away my minions!!! happybunny As well as numerous laser wall bugs addressed. The walls should be pretty solid now.
blueprints The other big change to this update is the addition of 'blueprints' to the build. Blueprints are basically a way to have autopay for emplacements. The robo lays down blueprints (they are like little holograms on the map) where they want a mine/light/sensor/laserwall and if a bunny 'completes' the blueprint, they will get a "token", which is just an item that looks like a little blue cylinder. The token can be taken to the feedbox or to a new map element called a 'deposit' for autopay. The deposit behaves exactly like the feedbox except it only accepts tokens. Tokens are worthless to the robo, they only give autopay to bunnies.
Bunny completes blueprint... bunny gets autopay from deposit with his token. I've also done major rework on the tutorial to add the new features, and address many issues that had existed. It should be a lot smoother now, and hopefully ease the transition for new players into our bunny eat bunny world. Here is the official changelist: v.99r0

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!
