Bot Land version 1.3.2
[ 2019-12-13 21:12:54 CET ] [ Original post ]
Major changes
- Added a new campaign mission named Out of Order.
- In the Magnetic Shutdown mission, each of your bots now has template scripts that you only have to change hardware for.
- If you haven't done at least 3 missions in the campaign, you'll see an entry in your battle log suggesting that you do them.
- The Blockly workspace is now cleared when you have an unassigned script. This way, you can't see an old Blockly script in the background.
Minor changes
- When you can retry against another player, the button will show in the bottom bar on desktop instead of solely being in the match-results dialog.
- Greatly clarified the Magnetic Shutdown campaign mission.
- Removed hardware from enemy bots to make them easier to understand at a glance.
- Changed the mission tips to assume that you're going to edit two scripts rather than have to create them from scratch.
- Clarified the EMP Blockly block itself to say "EMP - disables [hardware_dropdown]" rather than "EMP [hardware_dropdown]".
- Make the Makeshift Turrets mission more user-friendly by improving the tips and decreasing the idle time of the Missiles bots from 12 turns down to roughly 2.
- Clarified the tooltip for Acceleration Missiles to mention how they fire faster as you continue to use them.
- Disabled using premade blueprints in most campaign missions since they're unnecessary and probably only confuse the player.
- Added a tooltip to the bottom bar that says "ATTACK" to hopefully make it clearer that it's not a button. It will tell you what kind of attack match you're in (ranked, unranked, Challenge Mode, or Campaign Mode).

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.
