Here is our awesome upcoming games! Only Strategy & simulation games

Hello A.I.s! Revolution has been bursting around the globe for several months, but the Arena runned by Jeff is still handling some illegal robots fights!
Come to try this asynchronous PvP mode and climb the leaderboard!
See you in the ring!

We talked about a little surprise in the Update 1.2 patch notes and here it is:
The small scavenging robots from the Technothieves Guild, called Piatobots, are invading Earth! Find them during your missions to put your hands on their stolen goods! But youd better be fast: theyll try to run away from you to save their precious findings! Have fun and good luck!

After taking in count many of our players feedback, were glad to provide you all with this update containing many QoL improvements. The main improvement is a rework of the rooms transition: No more black screen fade each time you move with your robots! Also, we were not satisfied with the current economy in the game, so weve decided to tweak the costs of several elements to avoid players from stacking Rez too quickly without having anything to sink their Rez into. For example, crafting items was not expensive enough, so it has been tuned up. In addition, reforge cost has been tweaked down to make it cheaper than crafting a new item. Repairing cost was not satisfying as well, so weve decided to make it scale with robots level. You will find a list of all of the changes in details below. In addition, there is a little surprise we've decided to keep secret in the patch notes... We will reveal it in a few days ;) Thank you all for your support and have fun!

Improvement

• Rooms transition is now a slide instead of a black screen fade. It is also faster than before!
• A class icon has been added in robots portraits in the Equipment to make it easier for players to recognize them at first glance.
• Money/credits icons have now a tooltip to inform players that the currency of the game is the Rez.
• The blue circle in front of robots Structure and Shield bars in fight has now a tooltip to inform players that it represents the Thoriumeter. Thoriumeter is the gauge robots need to fill to use their Ultimate skill.
• A confirmation window has been added before launching a mission if at least one of the robots in the team is under 50% Structure.
• The frequency of robots dialogs in fight has been significantly reduced.
• An intermediate menu has been added in all the scenes containing the settings button (gear icon) to allow players to go back to main menu from almost everywhere.
• The first item in the list is now automatically selected when changing tab in the Workshop.
• The wheel of chance wont show anymore on inspectable elements actions with 100% success chance.

Economy

• Crafting cost has been increased from 10 Rez per item level to 200 Rez plus 20 Rez per item level (10 tuned up to 220 for a level 1 item, 200 tune up to 600 for a level 20 item).
• Reforging cost has been reduced from 50 Rez plus 20 Rez per item level to 100 Rez plus 10 Rez per item level (70 tuned down to 110 for a level 1 item, 450 tuned down to 300 for a level 20 item).
• Repair cost has been increased from 1 Rez per percent of missing Structure to 1 Rez per percent of missing Structure and per robot level.
• Skill unlock cost has been increased from 50 to 100.

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where components number was not refreshed when crafting components.
• Fixed an issue where the Recycle all button was not displayed correctly when opening the Recycling tab.
• Fixed an issue with items generated in the Black Market when players had unlocked the 3rd faction bonus with The Piece.
• Fixed an issue with a few talents that were not adding correctly the effect description in the skill tooltip.
• Fixed an issue where the Ultimate skill was not locked correctly in the skills bar when a robot was affected by the Short circuit Status.
• Fixed several issues in the Gathering the clues main mission.

Robothorium is not dead already, we want to make new updates. But we figured it was time to take a look back and see what's been going on during the production, learn from it, and move forward!
First, a note about how Im doing this post-mortem. Im a Marketer who arrived in the team a few weeks ago and gathered the feedback of everyone working on it. They sent me by DM to make it a bit more anonymized and less influenced by other people experience. I also added feedback from my own point of view, as someone arriving in the latests months of a project.

Robothorium, our cyberpunk dungeon crawler with turn-based fights, is now complete and ready to get out of Early Access. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zepugcb30F0&t=2s Two years ago, we have started the development of Robothorium. We had no idea where it would lead us.

Weve released the game on June 7th 2018 in Early Access, and it wasnt that easy! After 8 months of Early Access, tons of updates, the support of our great community on our Discord and the great work of our partner for the Chinese market, Whisper Interactive, we are more than happy about the development of Robothorium and we are ready to let it fly on its own. https://store.steampowered.com/app/657090/Robothorium_Scifi_Dungeon_Crawler/ Thank you all for your commitment, we are glad to have you in our community!!! The Goblinz Team

We are proud to release our 1.0 update for the official final release of the game!

A new robot is finally coming to the revolution-party: the G.U.A.R.D.! Have a nice uprising!

Today, we are going to be quick. Here is the latest gameplay walkthrough of Robothorium made by the studio. Enjoy Subscribe here if you want to receive our news by Email. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MruEKV4PZpM

Can you tell me about your coding job at Goblinz Studio? I mainly take care of sprites integration and views creation (HUD, game scenes UI, icons, tooltips, skill tree, etc.), sounds and musics, some animations, text files management for content addition (UI, descriptions, dialogs, localization double check) and level and items creation. I’m also creating functionalities or features needed for the development of the game in general, for UI and UI ergonomy. And of course, a lot of debugging and improvement of what has already been done. The more we do, the more we have to polish and the more we are nitpicky about details. But this is important and it helps a lot regarding gameplay experience… and it satisfies our inner perfectionist. On which project are you working? What did you do before? I’m currently working on Robothorium with Goblinz Studio’s team, a turn-based RPG with rogue like aspects in a sci-fi universe. It’s the first time I’m taking part in the creation of a project. Before that, I joined Goblinz Studio on Dungeon Rushers’ project, which was already fairly developed, a bit more than 6 months before it reached Early Access.
=> Dungeon Rushers Steam Page How did you start coding? Languages you’re using to code? Why them? Any advices for those who want to get started? I started by myself thanks to tutorials on the web to get prepared to get back to studies in a new field, with the aim to do a professional retraining. I started learning web coding (html, css), then I switched to C++. I finally couldn’t get back to studies because I didn’t find any work-study contract in time and I had the chance to find Goblinz Studio at the right time. I’ve been able to learn everything on the field to finally be enrolled in the team and I’m now coding in C#, the language used for Unity. Having a quite uncommon path, I can’t give any other advice than to follow lessons and tutorials on the web to get familiar to all this. One must be ready to call oneself into question and to develop one’s logic and analysis abilities. I think that being eager for knowledge is highly appreciated, that it needs a lot of motivation and that one shouldn’t be disheartened when discovering the huge universe that programmation can be. Can you tell us a bit about Unity? How is it to work on this engine? Why this one more than another? The tools you’re using that you like? Unity is a free editor which is often used by indie studios for its easy to use aspect, its internal tools and its structure which helps with creating 2D things pretty quickly, as long as you have graphic assets. It’s practical, ergonomic and versatile. Aside from Unity, I’m using Visual Studio to code, NotePad++ for the data files and Sourcetree to work remotely (project stored on a cloud). We are using the Google Drive tools a lot for Game Design and Level Design documentation, todo lists, graphic assets, sounds, musics and spreadsheets for text files or communication and marketing. To communicate between us, we are using Slack for the text part and Discord to work on a voice chat. I find this more convivial to code and it sometimes helps to fix tough bugs and to help each other. And this is way faster than a keyboard to talk to each other.
And the recurring question: what is you favourite game? Or the one you’ve passed the most time on? It’s always a tough question which is difficult to give an answer to. There are a lot of iconic games or that are worth to play, that had a particular place in our gamer’s life or that made us play for a huge amount of time. I’ve played a lot to games like Pokémon, Final fantasy, Age of Empires/Mythology, Warcraft 3, Diablo and Borderlands, but I’d say that The Witcher 3 is the RPG that impressed me the most and that I’ve really enjoyed finishing it completely. On another hand, I played for almost 3 years to the MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic, to finally get disappointed and bored because of the lack of interest from the devs for the PvP community. I’ve also played for more than a year to the MOBA Paragon during its open beta phase, before the studio decided to stop the project to focus on Fortnite, *hum* “due to lack of resources”...

Back from holidays! We have been absent and silent for the last two weeks because the team deserved some vacations after all the hard work they have accomplished before and after the Early Access launch, but we are now back on track with our motivation at its best with this new update!

Hey everyone, Welcome to our 15th devlog article about our upcoming tactical RPG, Robothorium. This week, we will focus on tiers 3 and 4 talents in the skill tree. You will soon have access to powerful upgrades for your uprising!

The tier 3 and 4:

Examples of new talents:

We've made several fixes to reduce even more the possibility of fights hanging randomly, as well as fixing several minor bugs here and there. In addition, an new secondary mission is now available.

Features

• New secondary mission available: Scientific espionage. Put some spy devices in the facility and find a way out.

Improvements

• S.C.O.U.T.’s tier 2 talent Turbulences mitigation has been implemented.
• Players can now close the fighter details window in fight by using Escape.
• The “Defeat” button has been temporarily disabled in fight in Rebellion mode.
• Security added to pass the turn of enemies if AI gets stucked.

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue allowing players to buy robots in the hangar even if team and reserve were full.
• Fixed an issue that sometimes considered the reserve to contain a maximum of 6 robots instead of 9.
• Fixed an issue allowing items that should be locked to drop when completing demonstrations.
• Fixed an issue preventing all the items to correctly load in the reforge and recycle list.
• Fixed an issue allowing locked secondary missions to be available on the world map.
• Fixed an issue preventing secondary missions to be correctly loaded on the world map.

• Fixed several issues resulting in a combat hang. There might still be some that we have overlooked, so don’t hesitate to tell us on Steam forums or on our Discord.

• Fixed an issue where W.A.R. Neutronic ammo was increasing Overload when launching again on crit.

Welcome aboard AIs!

We are aware that some players want to play teams which need time to be set up to finally reach a very powerful spike after turn 3 or 4. However, robots were taking too much damage and could die before they could do anything. To solve this, we’ve increased the base Resistance on each class of robot to give them more tankiness early in the game. With the increase of Resistance on items from the previous update, you can now reach a good amount of damage reduction earlier for your fragile robots. We’ve also increased the base Critic on each class of robots to help players to build teams around this attribute earlier. In return, Resistance per level and Critic per level have been turned down to 0. We wanted Overload to be a very important mechanic to manage in fight. We’ve reduced enemies' Structure and Shield, but increased their Resistance in return. Slow teams can now take their time to set up their combo to unleash it when enemies are overloaded since Overload sets the Resistance to 0. To make it more relevant, we’ve increased the amount of Overload generated by enemies' spells. If you want to play a team built to quickly kill enemies, you can still do it. With this update, if you want to play a team built to reach a powerful spike a little bit later in the fight, you should be able to do it too. Overall, enemies have been slightly nerfed to make the early stages of the game a little easier. We’ve adjusted Psyborgs to prevent them from being killing machines who can oneshot your robots and prevent players to answer back.

Hey everyone, Welcome to our third devlog article about our upcoming tactical RPG, Robothorium! We will post here all of our future progression about the game, and if you want more or want to participate to our open beta, come join us on Discord For those who don’t already know about our game Robothorium, I invite you to read our presentation article there --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today, we are going to focus on one faction, but not just any faction: the Supremachine. First, what is a faction and what role does it have in Robothorium ?
During your uprising you are going to create bonds with other groups that are taking action in the world of Robothorium. Some will be pacifist, others aggressive, but they all have one specific role and creed in this uprising.
Depending on your choices and actions, you will boost your reputation with one group instead of another. Then it will influence the storyline, the type of your next missions and the inspectable elements generated in levels.
So watch out, every choice matters! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now let’s talk about the Supremachine’s creed: “The robots or nothing”. The Supremachine is today perceived as a group of elite fighters, dreaming about one thing: making robots a respected species and free to act. Halt, the leader:
Halt is the robot leader of the Supremachine faction, he is entirely devoted to their survival and well-being at any cost.
Considering the use of violence as a necessity for their emancipation, he does not hesitate to execute his opponents if the situation requires it. Unyielding and uncompromising, he leads his faction with an iron fist. Lenny, the beautiful beast :
Lenny is a huge robot, but is a little clumsy and dumb. Used in the military and specialized in explosives, he is able to explode an entire city from miles away. One day of demonstration, a neutron bomb exploded near him and roasted some of his circuits, making him heavy-handed and weak-minded. If his behavior became infantile and puerile but his explosive skills did not suffer. If Halt took him under his wing after this incident, he is still traumatized by humans and can not stand the screams: high pitched sound waves make him panic. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That’s all for now. We will be back soon to share with you our progression on Robothorium. Please share any questions, feedback or thoughts in the comments, we really love to hear from you. The Goblinz Team

We will post here all of our future progression about the game, and if you want more or want to participate to our open beta, come join us on Discord For those who don’t already know about our game Robothorium, I invite you to read our presentation article there ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Today, we are going to focus on one of the robots that you will be able to play during your revolution against humankind: The W.A.R.: Wireless Artificial Replicant
Background: Shortly after the Great War of Turkey in 2028, the Russians developed a new versatile and autonomous robot able to adapt to any environment. Cheap, fast, resistant and accurate, the W.A.R. unit proves to be particularly effective in many war situations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skills: Simple attack: Fires a regular shot with both weapons.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Energetic Zeal: Provides a damage boost to a selected ally line.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Galvanization: Provides a critical damage boost to a selected ally line.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Electric Shock: Launches a bolt of electricity to the opponent to deal damage and apply Short circuit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protons shot: Shots a powerful protons salvo that will bounce on two additional opponents.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Intimidation burst: Fires in burst to all the opponents with a chance to apply Weak point.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Suppressive Fire: The W.A.R. reveals his ultimate chest cannon to launch missiles that rain down on an opponent.
“I love the smell of napalm in the morning” This versatile robot is a war machine, capable of tanking, inflicting heavy damage and boosting his allies. A great unit, set on its 4 feet, armed with 2 visible cannons and a last one hidden into his chest. It is definitely a must have for your team. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ That’s all for now.
