Rawbots

This games building system actually ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks. I am having trouble making basic ass movement. Make a better building system, and then MAYBE i will return.

Quick first impressions review until I can get my 2 hours of gameplay footage cleaned up and uploaded. TL;DR, it's a promising addition to any block-builder's collection and, once figured out/remembered, I can see the coding portion to being really fun! My system: Ryzen 5 @3600 Mhz, 16g ram, AMD Rx550 (Nvidia 1060 comparable) 4g Vram Game settings: Low across the board, 1280 x 720, Full Screen, USB hard drive Sound volume is only noticeably quieter at 10%. I went New Game and was presented with a space-platform of various tutorials concerning the camera, building and programming. Having played the dirt-bike series 'Trials' by RedLynx, and using their track editor's coding function quite a lot, the Rawbots code-grid felt very familiar. Unity users may also find it familiar? True, some commands could use better wording, but they were easy enough to understand. No idea how to find these planets that are advertised though... maybe I need to build a flying machine and go find them? That would be really cool if so, albeit maybe more for people familiar with coding. Important things to note: While you can freely pivot the camera around your bot, it will move solidly when your bot moves. So if you were to say, wig-out and spin uncontrollably, then so will your view. Min/Recommended Settings If you look below, there are no minimum or recommended settings. In my case, the game started on Medium settings and I had to not only drop everything to Low but also set resolution to 720p. I don't mind really, but a 4gb 1060-equivalent video card is minimum. Tutorial Caveats One of the tutorials instructed me to build a small bot (actually it was 1 piece and a light), so I spammed the New Bot command all over the platform before realizing I had no idea how to delete my mess... As for the light, I think the R G B values are up to 255? They are decimal and it did not say otherwise, though mixing green and blue did not appear to produce a yellow light. A later tutorial had me futzing with the thrust power of a hover bot. I think I connected the wrong thing because it went shooting into the air at such a speed that I could not see the next instruction step, or reset its position back to the platform. You can't (seem to) move the camera independent of the bot (to fly back and grab another one), and Build mode restricted the build space, so I had to reload an Auto-save. Thank goodness for those!
