Another month has passed - let's see what happened!
And it's my lucky day - Friday the 13th
First of all - spent some time optimizing and fixing physics glitches.
Who would thought that working on physics is so much "fun"
Like this totally normal sign swinging with no air force:
But don't worry - I got it working!
Level design continued as usual and finally, it got a shape + texturing is in progress.
Also included a special side course for people who like an extra challenge or simply want to find out whats on the other side!

But wait - we need a surprise element!
So I had this idea of saving other robots while proceeding through the levels.
Sounds reasonable - right?
But there is a catch. I had never created my own Bot/AI.
And of course, I need interaction with the environment, basic pathfinding etc.
Took a while, but it's in the game now.
To make it even more interesting, I made a "Trust Feature" between robots.
It means, that you will need to gain others robots trust before he will accept your commands :)
ːsteamboredː
I get lazier in the summer period, but together we can do it!
If anybody is interested in the closed beta, just ping me!
Regards,
The Developer!

Would you believe that there is even more such places?
We just acknowledged that there is Area 86
Sources say it contains artificial intelligence research facility with
stuff that is not explainable to us!
We receive signals from it, but we have hard times figuring out how to use them.
And we don't know from what part of space it's coming from!
But we made a progress and now we can transfer your input back to the sender!
Here is some feedback on what did we discover by sending our input:
We get to control a robot.
Robot movement is very destructible and we broke many items in our path.
There is also a possibility to pick, throw & activate items while using the robot.
An unknown source that gives our robot tasks with hints on how to progress further!
That's what we did discover.
Possible that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Further discoveries are in your hands!
Area 86 Features:
- Smooth physics-based gameplay
- Destructible environment and items
- Tasks with hints that give you more confusion
- Secret places and hidden objects
