Bot Land version 1.5.0

Major changes


  • Greatly simplified Blockly snippets. It used to be that Blockly snippets contained 3 blocks in general: an if statement, a condition for the if, and a terminator to run inside the body of the if. Those snippets still exist in the "Advanced" menu, but the primary way of interacting with the game will be with the new, one-line snippets that simply say something like "try to fire lasers". These new snippets act almost exactly like how the old ones did, but they're much clearer to use and customize. The tutorial and campaign missions now solely use simplified snippets. As a result, a couple of the missions are significantly easier than they used to be.
  • The Battle Log page has been completely revamped! All major features in Bot Land now have their own distinct buttons. This should make everything easier to find and should also cut down on the number of clicks it takes to navigate.
  • Added warning symbols to Blockly blocks that correspond to hardware that you don't have equipped. For example, if you put a "fire lasers" block into a script and your bot doesn't have Lasers, then you'll see the warning. This warning does not stop you from saving the script.
  • Consolidated the tutorial experience from three distinct parts down to just two. The tutorial now opens immediately with scripts and how to edit them.

Minor changes


  • The in-game documentation now rememebers your search query so that you can bounce quickly between code and the documentation for the function that you're trying to use.
  • On desktop, if you click the hardware slots at the bottom of the blueprint editor, it will now take you directly to your hardware slots and inventory, even if you're in the script editor.
  • On mobile, if you quick-edit a script from the Arena, then you can save the script directly from the editor rather than having to go back to the blueprint page first.
  • Lowered the default sound levels for the game. The idea is that it's better if players have to go to the Settings menu to raise the volume than to lower it.
  • On desktop, the mouse cursor is set to a pointer on cosmetic items in your inventory and the "grab" cursor on hardware items. This should make it clearer how to interact with them.
  • The end-of-campaign dialog now has confetti! Hurray!
  • Fixed a bug where the match-results screen would play a fanfare every time you unminimized it.
  • Stopped showing toast notifications when you beat a campaign mission since the mission-victory screen already includes reward information.
  • Removed Melee from The Floor is Lava inventory since it served no purpose.
  • Removed some unnecessary blocks from Blockly snippets around willRepair given that it already performs a check on the target's life.
  • Slowed down the darkening of the background during a tutorial to give the player more time to read before potentially distracting them.
  • Reworded Rooted Melee to make it clearer that killing a target is not what causes the user to be immobilized.

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.
