DSL 2.0 Sneak Peeks!

I'm not sure if this is good news or bad news; I suppose it could be taken either way.  I have nothing left to show to you guys this week.  You have seen it ALL.  There are still some things in DSL 2.0 that haven't been shown but they're not finished yet.

Also I apologize for the obscenely long time it's taking for this to get done.  Believe me, I want it released as much as you so I can move on to other things (still RA2-related of course).  The reason I can't make a good estimate of the release date is because it is extremely difficult to guess how long it will take to do things, especially big projects like Vincent's graphics, Firebeetle's arenas, and goose's new programming.  I can assure you that DSL 2.0 will be well worth the wait though.

I still feel like you deserve to see something though.  So here's a couple random screenshots I took of some battles.


Bar Code, a double Perm powered vertical spinner that I made, upgrades WIIDE LOAD into a flying full-body drum bot.  This thing is seriously scary.


Bar Code punts Cranky Spanky like a football, ripping off one of its hammers in the process.


The double Perm gearbox works equally well on horizontal spinners, as evidenced by this yet-unnamed tribar spinner taking the tangle out of WreckTangle.


My two favorite beetleweights, True Love and Peer Pressure, duking it out.  With the new parts, BW battles can be as fierce as any HW battle.


A reenactment of the awesome Bob vs. YU812 battle at Mechwars 4.  *winter wonderland tune* ...later on, we'll perspire, as we scream, in the fire...


A reenactment of the Heavy Metal Noise vs. T-Minus battle that was televised on Battlebots back in the day.  This time, things might end differently.


Grog, the Vengeful is the bot to watch out for in DSL 2.0.  Just look how it shredded my poor Drumblebe3 like an expired credit card.


But no design is all-powerful.  Shogun's flipping and slashing samurai blades get under, flip, and cut up Grog's belly.

Well it shouldnt be to long now.  I kinda wish it was more replicals and less stock remakes.  Are all of the old parts still in the game even if there hidden because it would be cool to have a all repical pack with all the DSL 1 and 2 replicas.  I have made quite a few ginsu replicas with stock part but I just dont have the time to make the sawblades have better traction.  Is there space for more AI bots?

Never fear about lack of replicas.  Three of the aforementioned things that are still unfinished are replicas (the others are Vincent's graphics, some new programming by goose, and an arena by Firebeetle).  In fact, the one that will probably be shown next week starts with a D and ends with a 2... see if you can figure it out.

There will be ample space for any additional AI teams players want to add.  I'm not sure there is even a limit.

I must say this thing is unresistable. I just hope I can jerry-rig this thing to work without having to do what I had to do to DSL 1. cant wait to get my mitts on the stunt arena, most of my latest designs are rockets even if they couldnt destroy the original scout. Hehe, 4 Etek + powered steering unit on a MW...
Wanting to build a bot, but cant plot that chassis? PM me and I\'ll build you a chassis. All I need from you is the desired weapon type, desired weight class, invertable(yes/no), and how many wheels you want. limit 4 wheels min on MW/HW

You can buy it from here for 2 bucks http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00007M5CW/104-0149060-5178342?v=glance&n=468642

But in Brazil, isn't that like 10000000000000000 pesos or something? :P

You find me a FREE website that will host it and I'll proclaim myself George W. Bush infront of the real bush.
