OBEY leaves Early Access!
First of all, OBEY now has Steam Achievements! 18 to be precise. Post-release, there will be plenty more coming, too bunnywink ! Also, Steam will be tracking the statistics of your matches and shenanigans! Some other changes to this build include bug fixes and improvements to the spectator (See the changelist at the bottom of this post for all the details).
For this week of the launch, you may have noticed, OBEY is in heavy discount! Let's get as many people in here as possible! To match, this week we have a ton of tournaments planned! (These are in addition to our regular weekend tournament schedules) Join us and get your stats and achievements! All times in EST: Mon-Thurs 1p - 5p - 7p - 9:30p Fri-Sun 10a - 1p - 5p - 7p - 9:30p Tuesday 10a
For one, I have laid the groundwork so that we can have a proper leaderboard and a nice GUI to show all our crazy stats in a coming release (expect it in the next 1 or 2 updates). There's also a number of bug fixes and tweaks still to do, and as I mentioned, a ton more achievements that I still want to tackle before I call it a day.
In other news, OBEY is coming to Nodecraft! I am very excited to be currently working with the great team at Nodecraft to integrate OBEY with their services (no port forwarding, GUIs for options for OBEY servers!!). Not only will this make it easier than ever to run and manage your own servers, but my hope is that existing player base of Nodecraft for other games will also come join our community as it will be brain-dead easy for them to try out OBEY. Thank you all again, this is a huge milestone for the project, and expect some more post-release updates very soon!!

Wow, we're finally here.
OBEY was in Steam Early access from May 21, 2015 to May 12, 2020. Five years.
I took a look at the dates of the files in the build to see when the first ones were created. The first test build is dated November 12, 2013. The oldest file in the build is from April 1, 2013.
It's been one hell of a long road!
THANK YOU to all of you who have shared it with me throughout this winding path! happybunny
SO! What's NEW!?

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!
