Robot Arena 3

[Thyrus]

I can confirm that he is only the PR guy

[MadBeaver]

I see zoss has confirmed an update after the long weekend in the US. Should be out Tuesday hopefully. Hope it's physics fixes the bugs are still playable, but the physics imo are god awful.

[Cody Furlong]

Do we know anything about what the new update will contain?

[cephalopod]

Changes and possibly additions to a robot game

Ok so....

I still have yet to get the game; have they "fixed" online play yet, or what?

[toAst]

if we could get legit online play i think it is mostly worth it

[TDS]

I'm starting to lose hope now. Looks like Mr Zoss is working multiple projects. He a dev or just PR? ****ing buzz kill pardon my French. Abandoned? Backburner maybe? More communication from the devs would be nice.

he has 0.9 hrs on record, hope to hell he is not a dev

There's not a ton of reason to have a lot of hours on the production live game, they have access to the build before it goes live on steam where presumably they do testing, by the time it hits steam its too late :)

[powerrave]

Been very long since we last heard anything from them or seen any update. Did they drop the project now or something?

[RedSawn]

Story is they took a break for the 4th of July and they're also switching to updates every 2 weeks. Zoss said last week on behalf of the devs that a build was ready and was currently undergoing testing.

I'm hoping the longer timeframe and apparently serious bout of testing means they've got something big on the horizon.

So, best to ask here, but how do you actually see the workshop, or is it in game/if you own the game? I haven't bought RA3(or played it) but was interested in seeing what people built, Steam Workshop(which I dislike by the way, why do you need to subscribe to dl stuff and keep it activated?) doesn't show anything when I search for it and the game store page doesnt' show anything either. And NO I'm not owning a pirated version or anything like that.

They're there - the game has tags for robots based on which version of the game it was built in. v1.0.0.2 being the latest, of course.

How do you view them?
Like I mentioned before, it doesn't look like I'm able to see it via the steam shop page or the general steam workshop page.

You'd need to download them ingame. Steam workshop doesn't allow online downloads, it's all via the game client.

Hoped that people could at least view them on the workshop page, similar to how you can with other steam workshop things.

you and me both, from what I can tell from steamspy they sold ~4k ish copies, not including returns, so the game still made ~$100,000

Has there been an update since july?

For a small dev team I'm guessing that's good right?

Hopefully that means they have the budget to make a game that isn't complete and utter garbage. Robot Arena 3 seemed to ignore the completely obvious flaws. At least the flaws in RA2 were fixable through mods and knowledge of the game, and wasn't actually game ruining.

Typically the way it works is you go to a publisher and say "yo dog, we need $100k to make x game, you get 90% of the profits"
They give you the money, and their expertise/back end stuff, you make the game using their money to pay your peoples salaries, then your management soaks up the royalties from that extra 10%
its tough to say how much money octopus pony'd up and what the agreement entailed but as development was a few months, with a handful of people, im guessing they did not turn a profit on $100k, fortunately (for gabriel), they aren't really game developers and can just cash the check and go back to their regular jobs.

assuming every copy was sold  at 20.00(I'm guessing many were sold at the 20% off sale price) and  4000 were sold that would be $80,000.  steam takes ~30%($24,000) so they would gross ~$56,000
split that between 4 devs, the  big wigs, lawyer and whoever else was involved.
ya, they did not make a whole lot.
