Bot Land version 1.3.1

Major changes


  • Improve Campaign Mode
    • You Sneaky Snake
      • This mission was removed completely. It wasn't easy and it wasn't fun.
    • Makeshift Turrets
      • This mission is now easier. There are only two blueprints to choose from instead of four.
      • The Missiles bots will move after being idle for ~12 turns (down from ~30).
      • The tips now mention that you can fast-forward a battle.
    • The Floor is Lava
      • This mission is now easier. You have exactly two choices in the Blockly toolbox instead of having all of the normal ones (100+).
      • Cleaned up existing Blockly comments to make it clearer to players what they're supposed to do and where.
    • General
      • When retrying a campaign mission, any bots you had placed in the last attempt will be placed again in the new attempt.
      • Fixed a bug where the scripting video couldn't be opened.
      • When you complete the campaign, the options at the end (e.g. "edit defense", "attack a player") are now exposed as buttons, meaning you don't need to figure out how to do them by yourself.
  • Balance changes
    • Hardware
      • Missile lv. 1: damage from 200 175. This was done to differentiate it from Lasers lv. 1.
      • Acceleration Missile lv. 1: damage from 200 175.
      • Multi Missiles lv. 1: damage from 66 59.
      • Cloaking: damage dealt while cloaked reduced from 20% to 10% at all levels.
      • Landmines lv. 1: damage from 600 400.
      • Landmines lv. 2: damage from 600 500.
    • Computer levels 5 and higher all got one more attacker bot since defenders' win ratios were roughly 58-62%.
    • These balance changes require all replays to be wiped out. Sorry.
  • Fixed a critical Blockly bug that would prevent saving the script you were working on. This was triggered when you switched from a BotLandScript script to a Blockly script in some cases. After that, I think the entire Blockly editor would remain broken for the rest of the session, but no errors were exposed to indicate that scripts weren't being saved. This bug likely existed for the last seven monthsif you think you were affected by this, please let me know!
  • When you completed a daily mission and waited for the progress bar to finish animating, you would see a notification saying that you finished the mission. However, if you didn't wait for that progress bar, no notification would show up, so many people missed that they'd gotten the 200-Botcoin reward. This now shows regardless of whether you wait.
  • CPU life was increased from 12000 to 16000 in the last version, but I forgot to mention that, so I've added it here and to 1.3.0's entry.

Minor changes


  • Fixed a bug with retrying when using new blueprints where the bots you originally placed wouldn't get placed again in the retry attempt.
  • Fixed a bug where you couldn't save a completely empty Blockly script in some situations. This was specifically for empty scripts, so it wasn't a very big deal since it means you couldn't lose a script with contents.
  • Fixed a bug with public-attack links. You could join a new public-attack match via the "Settings" menu after you'd watched a replay of the first public-attack match but it wouldn't exit Replay Mode, so you would be in a buggy state in the second match.
  • Clarify in the tooltip for missions that the 50% progress bonus when you win is for the mission's objective, not the Botcoin reward.

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.
