Hey guys, yea I've been using 'Warbots Online' as a working title for the game I've been posting about lately [ mostly because www.warbotsonline.com is available xD ]...but yea, that's the name I'm going with.
The game is basically 64 player per server online combat. Gameplay modes - teams, deathmatch, command point control, ticket based play, etc. Players build their own mechanized robots from a set of chassis and weapons, the maps take place in 3 different environments [ grass, snow, desert ]...it's a pretty standard game, should be fun when it's finished in a few weeks...
Most players drive the robots etc...I on the other hand will be driving around in this xD -
I don't feel like typing up all kinda of info about the game right now, I'll save that for the website later.
I've been working on this game for 1 month and 29 days. I'd hoped to be done by today...but I'm very close.
I have about 9 items left on the to-do list.
Really, here is the to-do list...the game is like freakin' done man...
Anyways, as soon as the offline portions are done I might release a stripped down version of the game for free [ only giving access to maybe 10% of the stuff ].
I also need to find a publisher for it.
Finished Respawn Bunker
Yes with the addition of the light shafts from the spot lights, the building is done IMO...
Early Gameplay video
Ahhh I keep recording videos and uploading them to youtube, but then the next day I add cool stuff into the game, and it's already out dated...but there will be a gameplay video VERY soon.
Here are some preview images of the latest video, it's really wild lol...
Respawn bunker testing xD
So I had this ferrari model sitting around, I figured I might as well use it. [ other than as my exclusive in-game vehicle online lol ]
It's kind of like bringing a knife to a uh...robotic missle and machinegun fight xD
A new vehicle type
Not sure if you noticed but I added a new vehicle type into the game...a 6 wheeled job. I'm still working on the mechs, and the hovercraft, etc...
That's it for now guys! Videos, more info, and a website coming soon...

That's a wow not at your pretty pictures (which are, indeed, very pretty), but at completing a game like this in just a couple of months.
I know you're most likely reusing Urban Empires code like crazy, but just getting the kinks out of a game in such a short period of time is remarkable. For years I thought you were putting too much time in perfecting your Urban Empires game, but I guess now it's (near) complete all that effort is paying off dividends.
