[ 2020-01-14 00:48:39 CET ] [ Original post ]
Major changes
- Repackaged the guest experience slightly. Making a guest account is now the default experience so that players don't have to provide a username or email address.
- Simplify tutorial and campaign
- Second tutorial - added a GIF demonstrating how to drag Blockly blocks into the canvas.
- The Floor is Lava
- Shrank the Arena from 98 tiles 33 tiles.
- You no longer have to destroy the CPU, just the enemy bots. This allowed for
many other nice changes:
- Deleted a bunch of boilerplate Blockly, so the script only has to contain a single comment now rather than a function, a bunch of comments, and code that you weren't supposed to touch.
- Got rid of Melee on your bots.
- Disabled the quick-edit-blueprint button since you only need to modify your script.
- Changed the "move" part of the script to be a single block rather than a snippet.
- Stopped highlighting the mission tips since no one really clicked them anyway even after learning about them.
- Ending the battle without having edited your script will now present a more contextual dialog whose main button will bring you diredctly to the script editor.
- The picture that we show at the end of the script that you're supposed to make is now the EXACT script that you're supposed to make instead of an approximation.
- Out of Order - shrank Arena from 35 tiles 25 tiles. This should make bots wander less.
- Magnetic Shutdown
- Shrank the Arena from 98 tiles 30 tiles.
- Cut down on the number of enemy bots 13 bots 6 bots.
- Reduced range of enemy Missiles bots from 4 tiles 2 tiles.
- Prevented the player from making/editing blueprints since it isn't necessary.
- I Need a Doctor
- Cut down on the number of comment blocks from 5 2.
- The correct bots are now placed in the correct spots for you.
- Shrank the Arena from 40 tiles 24 tiles and removed two enemy bots in the process.

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.
