The more stuff you show the harder it gets to wait for all this. Awesome work! I love the Sizecomparision of those two and the relation to the wallsize.

Ahhh thanks  :gawe:


But in all seriousness, it might not be for a little while. Before I can release it I need the UI to be completely finished, a few more replica bots done, and I'd love to include the robots from the upcoming RW Tournament I'm doing in the pack :)




On a note of replicas, guess who's FINALLY gotten the ASE method to work, and has made his first replicas component:

This has managed to open up quite a few doors to me now. For example, here is a preview of my LW entry to said RW tournament that will use a custom component that will be available to all in the game (and tournement when it's working properlly :P)


(Image removed from quote.)


Just need to sort out the shadow problem with this claw and it should hopefully all be ok :P From there then I can hopefully work on a Suicidal Tendencies replica, maybe Kan Opener, the possibilities are endless :P
Fantastic! I love how Stinger looks with the spike, now. If it works the way it should with all the torque-reaction trickery it had in real life, I'd definitely say you've pulled off a particularly tricky replica very well.   :D
 
 
The Claws look particularly intriguing, too. I could definitely see them being used effectively for Suicidal Tendencies.  :P

Unfortunately the torque-reaction method is still beyond my abilities :') It kinda of does it already, but not quite like the original.


And hehe I'm sure you can guess what the next replica in progress is then ;)

OK, that's fair enough. As long as it's all there that's good, but perhaps there might be some way to achieve a similar effect.
 
 
And I don't know...Cassius 2?   :laughing

Hopefully. Perhaps there could be a way to mount an invisible burst motor and peg on either side of the pole's base, so that when it's needed to flip over, it could fire. Bit of a hair-brained scheme, but it might work.


And that's OK. If it does get in though, that'd be brilliant.    :D

Magnificent! All things considered, I'd thought Suicidal Tendencies would be one of the harder machines to replicate, but you've pulled it off fantastically so far. Very well done.   :claping

Fantastic as always. I agree with SKBT, I can see that wedge being very popular.

All done! :D





Really quite happy with this one... 2 fully done from scratch custom components and all :D
It also puts up a really good fight! I was worried that it wouldn't do anything in battle. I was wrong. In 4-way rumbles with the other replicas it easily holds its own, and can even knock out a couple of bots! (It sounds dumb but I'm genuinely surprised!)

In the finished version, will all these AI parts be usable by the player, or will they be made hidden? I can already see some components having some form of usage, like the Stinger mace and Suicidal Tendencies scoop.
