Bot Colony

No

The game has unique concept and mechanics, though some robots seem to be stubborn or plain stupid, it varies from fun to frustrating to try to communitcate with them properly. Team put a great effort and a lot of time in this game, so it's definitely worth a try, especially for its price. Keep in mind that game requires some intermediate English knowledge.

A good Concept but far too litte to actually do in the game, feels more like a few demo's than a game. If it interests you get it on sale but its not worth full price yet.

When's the last time you played a game involving hiding your involvement in the scene of a crime by remote-control verbal communication with a robot who operates in a real 3D space? In a gaming world where we've stopped complaining about clones and accepted them as the norm, novel gameplay is as rare as hens' teeth. In this way, Bot Colony is well worth your time, attention, and support. That alone deserves my thumbs up. That said, though it has been getting worked on for quite some time, it looks a bit dated, and the actual gameplay in Bot Colony is really klunky. It could be worse, but the things it does well are the things most players are not going to notice, and the things it does poorly are showstoppers. If you have ever played an old school text adventure, you might understand the frustration of trying to wrap your head around the developer's means of communication. How do you tell a robot to place a shaker of salt exactly how it looks like in a picture? I have no idea, the AI is smart enough to put it on the table to the left of a coffee maker and that's no minor achievement in programming, but I can't figure out how to tell it to put it down exactly where it needs to be. I guess that kind of difficulty makes sense when you add 3D space to a text adventure. Anyway, I have not been able to get past the tutorial. One thing they keep trying to add to Bot Colony is voice recognition, but I have yet to see it working particularly well. Basically, they're thinking it would be really cool if they have an AI you can talk to with your voice and that AI can do things for you, and they've been spending a lot of development time on getting that to work. As a player, I would have preferred they fix the gameplay problems first, but I guess they develop other products that make use of voice recognition so that's their agenda. Fortunately, you can also type your commands. As for the long development time, behind the scenes there have been some major financial issues, and this has slowed progress on the game quite a bit, to the point where it's fair for a player to wonder who is left to work on it? Lately, the game seems to somehow be making progress, so that's encouraging. I hope these guys continue to put out novel game concepts.

After paying 14.99 all i have to say is. LET ME PLAY IT OFFLINE...... ....... ....... ...... the game itself it aight!.....playable. modable!/..........LET ME PLAY IT OFFLINE.........i pay u

I bought Bot Colony a few years ago and I don't regret it even though the game is still in early access and probably will be for some time. This game is something completely different and unique. The developers of this game have succeeded in bringing to the market some completely new game mechanics that other companies are just dreaming about. They have come up with their own new AI mechanics for this game and made them part of the gameplay. I would recommend this game for people who: - Like games with new and unique approaches, new experiences - Like games/genres with a bit slower gameplay (compared to fast paced action games) - Like to support a small company that works hard to start a completely new kind of genre of video games that will bring the whole industry forward - Are interested in AI, robotics, technology or scifi - Are interested/prepared to play around a bit with robots and learn to communicate with them (Isn't really hard but not recommended for the most inpatient players or those that expect perfect AI that will be able to communicate with you like another human, the technology isn't really at that stage yet) - Are interested in playing a game with a lot to offer but that is still a work in progress and rough around the edges in some parts The game is amazing as it is but would be even more great if the devs find a new publisher who will see the real potential of this game/genre and the ambition and skills of these developers so we would be able to enjoy even more of their work in the future! There is no limit to the potential this genre and game series has with the right amount of work and money, I believe the technologies in the game will continue getting better and better with time. I believe this game is ahead of it's time in many ways, in the future there will probably be more games that attempt to add similar mechanics to their games. Right now this is the best you can find and a game worth playing if you are interested in AI or games that offer new and unique experiences.

It's an interesting investigation game. You interact with robots by speaking or writing. The robots react to your inputs depending on the information they have or their perception of things, so they don't always react exactly as expected. There are several situations you have to solve in this way. Sometimes within a time limit. Graphics are OK but I'm not a graphics guy so don't take my word on it. Sound is also OK, but it's not so important for the gameplay. The interesting part (and why I really love this game) is the interaction itself. This game shows you clearly, and beyond any doubt, that what you think is evident might not be so evident to other person. Many people should play this game in order to improve the way they treat others at their workplace or at home. The only downside I see at the moment is the voice recognition. When I played this game in Windows 7 it was hit or miss. Sometimes it worked like charm, other times I wanted to kick the screen. I have not tried Windows 10. An interesting game from my point of view, even though I understand it's not for everyone.

Bought it for the laughs. Still disappointed

Oyun daha oldukça erken geliştirme aşamalarında ve şu an için tam hazır değil. Oyunun ne durumda olduğunu görmek istiyorsanız ya da projeyi desteklemek istiyorsanız alabilirsiniz. Oyunun mantığı sadece ses komutlarını kullanarak çeşitli robotlara komut vermek ve hatta robotlara yeni komutlar yeni şeyler öğretmek üzerine kurulu. Fakat her komutu sesle girmeden önce enter tuşuna basmak oldukça sıkıcı oluyor, robota Siri gibi seslenemiyorsunuz, eğer böyle olsaydı oyun biraz daha oynanabilir bir hale gelebilirdi. Şu an için oyunda iki bölüm mevcut, diğer bölümler daha bitmemiş. İlk bölümde hizmet robotuna sesli komutlar ile kontrol ederek, evin sahibi eve gelmeden evde neler yaşandığını öğrenmeye ve üzerinde önemli bilgilerin yüklü olduğu bir çipin kim tarafından, ne zaman çalındığını öğrenmeye çalışıyoruz. Fakat gözüktüğü kadar basit değil, oyunda doğal olarak buglar var ve oynanışı bir hayli zorlaştırıyor. İkinci bölümde ise bir bombayı etkisiz hale getirmeye çalışıyoruz. Kısa bir tecrübe olsa da yine de oldukça zor bir oynanış ikinci bölümde de bizi bekliyoruz. Oyunu sadece sesli komutlarla kontrol edilebilen oyunlara bir ilginiz var ise ve geliştiriciyi desteklemek istiyorsanız satın alın, başka türlü hayal kırıklığına uğrarsınız.
