Robot Arena 3

Yeah, even if you have Intel CPU and AMD GPU, PhysX will run just fine on Unity.

Just asking something slightly off topic: where do you go if you want to ask questions about things like development and all that to the developers?

e-mail the devs I guess. Or tweet, but their twitter seems totally inactive

Here's some questions I don't think anyone's considered:

1) Do we know if there are going to be weight classes other than the old LW - MW - HW implemented? I know we have our unofficial AW - BW - SHW classes, but would something like that be officially implemented in the game?

Because if we got something like this, it'd be cool to have Ants and Beetles fighting, and especially some SHW mayhem.

2) Do we know how many bots we can have on a team, or how many teams we can have for that matter? RA2 had six slots available and 15 teams respectively, and I'd think there would be more for this (what with tech improvements and suchnot).

3) Somewhat related to both the above, do you think that RA3 will mix up the LW-MW-HW formula for the AI teams? I personally think it'd be cool if there were, for example, a team that specialized in sub-lights (such as Anthrobots in DSL 2), or a team that had all MW and HW bots, though there would probably be enough bots in each weight class for the tourneys.

I think Id like AIing to be made available within the game, 'cause it's gonna be a bit difficult to access the game's files, considering it's a steam game.

[RedSawn]

It's no different to non-Steam games. UT2004 is the same if it's in DVD format or Steam. It's just the files are located in the Steam library folder rather then wherever you'd put it instead in a disk installation.

Though I find RA2 quite unique in how easy it is to copypaste and drop a total conversion mod on it. Steam certainly won't count that as the official game unless it was just done through an official mod manager instead

I'm not really a big fan of AI match.   I like to control my bot myself and compete others the same way.    AI match is kinda... dull and lame. It takes away the excitement and challenges.

[Meganerdbomb]

don't make me unretire!

DO IT, PUSSY!!!!!

Well... you're not saying no though.  Welcome back from your retirement! 

[The Red Blur]

I think it would probably be better for all of us if ACAMS stayed in retirement. Just sayin'.

YOU CAN'T BAN ME! I QUIT!

You would be transformed into The Red Blob!

And another:

4) Do you/we think walkerbots would be possible?

[Stigma]

Recognition of additional weight classes would be pretty neat, and maybe they've changed up how the weight system works altogether

[The Red Blur]

Maybe some more cheatbot parts?
