Update 1.1.0.0 (The Glitch Update) Is Live! (+Linux Support!)
Hey everybody! The first really big update is now live! It took me about a month longer than I anticipated, but the wait is finally over. Before I go into details about it I want to first thank all of my Patreon backers that helped me release this update to everyone for free. If you enjoy the update consider pledging a dollar. Now onto the content!
Linux Support
The game now supports Linux! That's pretty cool, right?
Layout Patterns
This patch introduces layout patterns. Layout patterns are a new feature of map generation that help provide more variety in the way the map is generated. Previously maps would generate in a fairly predictable way many peole identified as a backwards 6 or upside down 'e'. With the introduction of layout patterns, maps can now start with rooms going left. The Caves can be a vertical plunge or a long horizontal stride. The Factory can be below The Caves or to the left or right of it. Etc.
There are currently 6 layout patterns, and I intend to introduce more complex patterns in future patches. Enjoy exploring!
A Forbidden Place
This update introduces a large new secret area! There are multiple ways to find it, and the more you defeat The Megabeast and The Megabeast Core the more likely it is to be revealed. This new area leads to a new final boss and a new ending. It also introduces 9 new acheivements, 11 new items, and 10 new enemies, as well as 35 new rooms!
Even More Stuff
In addition to the new area, the update includes a ton of bug fixes and balance tweaks. There are 15 new rooms. The Gun Bot achievement now only requires 3 energy weapons. Shot Speed Module increase the range of certain energy weapons. Wave Bomb is no longer worthless. For the full list of changes check out the link below.
Thanks again to everybody who's continued to support the game via Patreon, Discord and their twitch streams! As feedback about the update rolls in I'm sure their will be a minor patch or two in the coming weeks. Hope everyone digs it!

Version 1.1.0.0 (or whatever I decide to increment it to) is coming soon!
Hey guys! I just wanted to say thanks for your patience. I bit off a little more than I can chew with this next patch and it probably won't be out by the end of the month. I think that sometime around the first weekend in November is more likely.
It has a lot of bug fixes and balance changes, but also two really big additions.
The first addition is "layout patterns". There's been a lot of discussion about how the map always generates as a backwards 6 (or upside down 'e' as some say). In the next patch, that will be different. I've add these patterns that define a kind of meta layout that can change the overall flow of the map. They're still all sort of 6ish or 'e' shaped at the moment, but they add a lot of variety and the way everything links up can feel significantly different now. Future updates will try and exploit these even more to get some radically different layouts.
The second big addition is a whole new secret area with its own boss and ending. I don't want to spoil too much about it, but it will include new enemies, items, and hazards and is generally tough as nail. Along with this area will come some new achievements and items as well.
As always, if you want to help me out with all this here's my Patreon. I'll probably redo the rewards when I get time and make them more inticing: https://www.patreon.com/arobotnamedfight/
If you don't have money for the patreon you can also help out by building up this wiki page that folks in the discord channel started:

Thanks for all your feeback and generally being awesome!

A Robot Named Fight - Available Now!
A Robot Named Fight is now available on Steam for Mac & PC! It’s a roguelike Metroidvania based on exploration and item collection. Since it’s procedurally-generated, you’ll find a different route and item order with every run. Grab a friend, hit start on a second controller, and face the Megabeast with local co-op, too.
Now that the game is live, let’s stay connected. You can follow the game on Twitter @RobotNamedFight (where you’ll find me a lot of the time), give it a like on Facebook and check out the Youtube channel for trailers, playthroughs, reviews and more.
I’ve playtested the game extensively, but there are bound to be more bugs I haven’t found. Report them on the Bug Reporting Subforum. My wife and I are keeping a close eye on all the forums on Steam, so don’t hesitate to ask questions or give feedback! Feel free to add screenshots of cool moments during your runs and provide guidance to other players in the forums as well.
You can expect to get sporadic updates with new content; I’m going to try to get some new stuff out within the next two weeks. If you’re really pumped about the game, we have several avid fans forming an active Discord community, so feel free to jump in and chat with me there, too!
