[h1]Hello there, Inventors! [/h1] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35530744/2fcf076ee6c32e6307f653701cd5bc3fff4fe8a1.png[/img] First of all, [b]Merry Christmas![/b] We are now officially in December; which means one thing: CHRISTMAS BOTS! Yes, that's right! We want to see you cooking up some roast turkey bots, sleighs, snow-bots - you name it! So get those magnificent, creative minds of yours in the festive spirit! Our devs are already wrapping up some special Christmas bots :) Right then, let's get to it. We've started the week by having a diligent sweep of the game, looking for things to improve and fix. We've got to be honest; there is a lot of stuff we've found early on in the game that needs fixing and improving! [b]Why isn't there anything good on TV anymore?[/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/fYCrs4E.gif[/img] [b] But it's been fun going down memory lane with all the diplomas and dummy poking.[/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/s7mVSYA.gif[/img] [b]But don't you worry! We've done our fair share of RnD for things to implement in the next content update. We've been playing around with explosives, oh yes. :D[/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/TfhBy8u.gif[/img] They [explosives] currently come with a bunch of behaviour issues that we are looking at it; for example, we just cleared the box loading task by just blowing everything up! [b]Lasers are still mega fun! Break-it levels are a breeze now.[/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/cb8MLWG.gif[/img] [h3]Until next time! Take care![/h3] [img]https://i.imgur.com/TaLTmL6.png[/img] Ohh btw! [b]The bot building competition[/b] is still underway, don't forget to join if you haven't. People are building some crazy things!

[/b] [/h2] [img]https://i.imgur.com/EBuR9jY.jpg[/img] Wait, what? Water and Bot Brawler? Yes, absolutely! This week's Bot Brawler is the [b]Battlebot1[/b] by [b]kAN!I[/b] think we prefer [i]Water WALL-E'[/i] - but whatever floats your boat ;) This inconspicuous bot is not only a battle bot; it also has the versatility to lurk in the water, spot its prey -- and then surface to charge its foe with dazzling speed and electrifying crushers! Frightening, truly. Cute eyes, too. [img]https://i.imgur.com/SGL9IaH.gif[/img] Head on over to the Steam Workshop link below to test out the BattleBot1 [#WaterWALL-E :D] in the Bot Brawl arena! Make sure to leave a like and a comment to show [b]kAN[/b] your support. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2289483286 That's everything Main Assembly, for now.
