Summary of the Early Access:

Our goal for the Early Access of Robothorium is to constantly upgrade our game, to create the best dungeon crawler RPG for you(at least we hope ^^). This is why we are listening a lot to your feedbacks and then adapt the game after taking them in count. Moreover, we try to add new features every 1 or 2 weeks!!! We’ve pushed a lot of new things in Robothorium this summer, so it’s time to do a little summary of what we’ve done so far. The S.O.N.G. is joining the uprising
The S.O.N.G. is a really tanky robot and his whole gameplay is based on the Overload: He can increase and decrease the Overload of his team mates or his enemies and has powerful supporting skills based on his Overload bar. New mission for Sarah and first boss
You will now discover the story of Sarah and infiltrate the most secret laboratory of Breaktech in order to find the truth behind some mysterious missings. New factions missions available
CyberRights and Biothorium second missions are now playable. New environment available
You have now access to the Ghetto, The city by night. Twitch votes
You can let your community choose and vote for special actions. Hardcore difficulty
You can now choose the “Revolution” difficulty. This mode is more challenging, enemies are stronger and security is enhanced. Oh, and one more thing. If your robots are destroyed, you lose them forever. You can’t bring them back to your base and repair them… THEY ARE DEAD!!! A lot of bug fixes and balancing

Interview of Mathieu, the artistic director

Introduce yourself, what are you doing on Robothorium? Ooh hi!! I’m Mathieu, 28 years old and I’m the artistic director on Robothorium. I’m doing most of the visuals: sprites, animations, videos… If you want to see more about my work, here is my Art Station What softwares are you using? I’m mostly using Photoshop for my illustrations and for the animations in game I’m using Anima2d from Unity. Since they have implemented this tool directly in Unity it’s a game changer for me. I’m saving so much time. It’s a type of animation which is like puppets. You create meshes and bones on your character and you animate it by polarization. By the way, the trailer and teaser have been made directly on Unity too, with Anima2D for the animation and Adobe Premiere for the cut. What were your experiences before this project? I am a self-taught artist, I worked on some mobile games and I did a lot of personal project that did not really succeed… but hey, that brought me a lot of experiences!!! What are your favorite games? I love RPG games, so of course The Witcher 3. But at the same time, I like to pew pew, so Rainbow Six Siege, Broforce, Day of infamy, Quake, Doom, etc. Et voilà… Kisses!
