Bot Land version 1.0.4
[ 2019-10-09 20:57:07 CET ] [ Original post ]
Major changes:
- Greatly improve load times when starting a match or commencing a round.
- Stagger explosion animations on the client side. This should make it look less like there's just a single explosion when multiple projectiles land at the same time.
- Increase JavaScript and Blockly script length limits by 10% each (JavaScript: 15000 characters 16500, Blockly: 45000 49500).
- Add floating text for bot/chip placement errors. This was done for two major reasons:
- There was some confusion in the first tutorial around WHY a user couldn't place bots.
- The only indications we had before this change were on hover, and they weren't always the clearest (there was a red X and the text "at max"). The hover property meant that they wouldn't show on mobile.
- Fix issue on iOS and Firefox on Android where hardware could not be dragged at all. This affected a good deal of new users who were unable to complete the tutorial as a result.
- Block Steam purchases in Belgium (they were already blocked on all other platforms).
- Fix bug in "Friendly support" premade script. It was referencing "repairTarget", which was never defined.
- When registering or converting an account, if you try to use an email that already exists in Bot Land, there will be a button to reset your password right from the error dialog that shows up.
- Prevent entering the "Edit defense" tutorial as a guest since you can't edit your defense as a guest anyway.
- For password inputs where you have to come up with a password, the allowed length (8-128 characters) shows as placeholder text.
- Fix symbol so that it faces left in the Store.
- Small documentation fix: "lasers" was written where "melee" was meant in one spot.
- Fix React warning around propTypes when opening the Tutorial menu.

Do you like strategy games? Are you a regular human who still hasn't figured out how to move at the speed of light? THEN OH BOY IS BOT LAND THE GAME FOR YOU!
In Bot Land, all of your bots follow scripts (so you can snap your controller in half for all we care). You'll tell your bots how to perform actions ahead of time, that way they don't need a lousy human to control them mid-battle. This allows your bots to fight even while you're offline; they'll protect your CPU against other players' attacks.
Now, let's be honest... you're a great gamer—that's why you're reading this description—but even you might still lose a match or two. That's where replays come in handy. Maybe your opponent cloaked, bypassed your bots, and destroyed your CPU while your own bots were busy calculating prime numbers with a billion digits. You can use that information to improve for next time.
Then, after improving your defense, you can attack other players' CPUs in the same way. Maybe you've got a killer strategy involving LANDMINES or TELEPORTATION or OTHER BOLDED WORDS, the likes of which no one has ever seen before. You finally find the perfect chump on which to unleash this onslaught. They've got measly bots with artillery and shields, so you teleport behind them, misquote a meme, and punch them in their shiny metal backs. You're the top dog-bot now.
And when you win...? Oh, don't even get us started. You'll earn Botcoin, which, through a myriad of steps, roughly translates to fame and fortune in real life (the steps are really just a sense of satisfaction and a profound feeling of "the courage was within me the entire time!"; Botcoin isn't a cryptocurrency). You'll buy new items, make new strategies, teach a wasp bot how to love, ponder whether we're all just living in a simulation, and then look up how to remove wasp-bot stingers from your arm. It's great fun.
