Title: Robot Wars: Extreme Annihilaton (Needs Locking)
Post by: Dangerfield7up on December 08, 2011, 01:50:20 PM
Hello! This a Standalone game in progress being made by a very good friend of mine by the name of Jon. It will be based on the robotwars series and it wont be released until Mid 2013. Look at this page for more information; http://channeltst.wikia.com/wiki/Robot_Wars:_Extreme_Annihilation (http://channeltst.wikia.com/wiki/Robot_Wars:_Extreme_Annihilation) I will post updates of the game exclusively for GTM!
We have had a few problems & thoughts. Read below for what is should of been;
The reason why we will not have MOST of these robots is Copyright. Simplez.
To use the majority of these robots & the official arena we will have to have permission from the current owner of the RobotWars trademark. Without that RWEA is over. But its not all bad...
The reason i say MOST is because some are still fighting today! So when we get an opportunity & in the future we will ask the owner of Roaming Robots for permission to use the Trademark & Robots that have competed in RR from now to some selected ones features on the RR websites Robot page. When the game is released; for future versions we will ask permission to use the for the Robots Live Trademark. Then we could go to america! :o Anyway, the option for it to have anything to do with Robot Wars is over for now...
But look on the brightside. We will get to use Eruption!  :gawe:

Pretty cool, liking how tornado looks.

How are you going to calculate damage btw?

You missed out The Sentinel from the house robots
Looks good, looking forward to seeing the final product.

This looks awesome.

Do we get to build robots in this? Or use bots from the actual RW?
Title: Re: Robot Wars: Extreme Annihilaton
Post by: NFX on December 08, 2011, 02:23:31 PM
Aesthetically, it looks alright, judging by Tornado and the disembodied Refbot. Depends on how well the coding and such is done, for all the damage, collisions, moving around and so forth. Hopefully things will go well, I quite like the look of this.

Not sure if you means damage during the match or during the judge's decision. If you mean during the judge's decision, it might depend on an overall throughout-battle percentage.

He was considering a robot workshop but the extent of the building capabilities would probably be limited to that of the original Robot Wars games, such as AoD and ED. Of course, there will be standard RW robots.

Looking good if this actually gets released and doesn't sink into development heck.
Will it have any modding capabilities? (I.e. can you go into the game's files and edit it? Is it open source?)

What do Shove and Public Nuisance look like?

and can we put in Beast of Bodmin and Steg-o-Saw-Us? Love those two bots.

edit: Oh hey, Qwerty's on the wiki. Lol.

edit 2: What's your roblox account? I'll try to join the next wars if I can figure it out  ;)

Shove looks like this:

It was just used to move stuff around in the early series.

comandomike is my Roblox name. Public Nuisance  is a robot made on roblox by Jon Himself! If im lucky i will get mine onto the game called Elevation. Public Nuisance is a red & yellow wedge with a front hinged flipper on the front & a spinning drum on the back.

In the future list when updated would it be likely to see Stinger and maybe Splinter, if you don't mind me asking.

Definitely Stinger; Splinter is a possibility. He completely missed those two out when He was thinking up robots to put in the game. Consider them included now.

Mortis is also a possibility, as is Cassius II. The robot list on this thread is actually just a sample, or indeed a list of possibilities; none of them are certain to appear. The House Robots list is definite though.

In terms of modding capabilities, I'm pretty sure that the way that the game will be created will allow reskins and the likes. It will be open source.

Currently, no idea about arenas. I've decided on the original RW arena as main arena; other arenas depends on how quickly I get the core stuff running.
Also no idea currently about robot design limitations, but it may not be as wide as RA2.

Dunno about the modable thing.

Post by: GoldenFox93 on May 22, 2012, 09:58:03 AM
Argh. No offence, but I'd much rather play as the competitor robots from Robot Wars than Roaming Robots- there's something about them that makes them more fun to play as.
 
Also, who owns the copyright? It's not like they stopped GTM from using the RW Arena and replicas in DSL.

Post by: The Jonateer on August 22, 2012, 11:19:29 AM
Okay, I've been reading through what's been posted on this thread and I felt the need to sign up to the forum and clear up some misunderstandings.

This is likely to change but the currently idea is to have a payware main game for robot combat simulation and blah blah (much like RA2 was). Then, there would be, for example, an add-on pack downloadable for free including Robot Wars robots. On the subject of RW robots, there was never any idea to have just robots still competing - if that had been the case, I wouldn't have been designing plans for Diotoir or Tornado.

I'm not sure what else there is to clear up, although I'd like to point out that any suggestions as to the development and planning of this game will be gratefully received, since being given ideas will help us more in trying to create a game that people will continue to enjoy playing.

One last thing - while development might be slow on this project (baring in mind we all have real lives to lead) I highly doubt development will be completely called off.

So, in summary: we're open for suggestions as to content, features and even the workings of the game.

Thank you for reading,
The Jonateer

This thread hasn't been posted in for 2 and a half years and the last dev pic was 3 years ago. I really don't think asking if this is still happening is even a viable question.
