Clone Drone in the Danger Zone
Play our favourite Beginners Welcome Competition Levels!
Hello Humans,
The Beginners Welcome competition was huge so thank you for entering. The "Rest in Pieces" emote will be added in an update soon and everyone who submitted a level will get it.
This is a list of our favourite levels but there were so many great entries that we recommend subscribing to all of the entries in this collection. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2783921326
Endless Levels
Endless levels are a bit quicker to finish and are a fun surprise when they turn up in your arena. These levels have really cool ideas!
THIRTEEN by DarkObsidian
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2783803879 A creepy level of robots chanting!
Slaughter Surrounded by Saws by CalebNicholas
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2785098610 The design of the level makes you jump across saws and explore, just like official Clone Drone levels!
The Business Battle by Zomboi
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2785089902 It's only business bots! Doing business with swords and a raptor. A very fun fight.
NeoTower by KaplainFifek
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2785031225 Organised into different dangerous spaces and with extra waves on higher tiers this is very fun. Make sure to use the laser.
Don't Fall Down by Wbhizzle7
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2785647077 Uses a conveyor belt and lava really well to make you travel the whole level to fight!
Last Bot Standing
End of Days by Meet_Met Me
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2784254235 A huge explosion! A very well decorated place to have a LBS battle.
Green Sun Level by jn_schwantz
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2783212204 A really well made LBS level with lots of interesting spaces to fight for upgrades.
Obstacle Course by jjstuec
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2785199340 We recommend inviting some friends to hang out and see how far you can get through this tricky jumping puzzle together. (A hint for the first jumping challenge is that you can still jump for a little while after you have walked off the edge of the platform!)
Portal Island by Niek_Alexander
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2786369563 A dangerous place to battle but if you need to get to the other side of the map quickly there's a really cool portal!
Challenges
There are some really nice collections of levels with ideas that are both simple and fun!
Pillar Challenge by Spookypizza
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2783235757 A very tall tower in the style of classic Clone Drone levels. Challenging and fun!
Dinosaur Challenge by 3lliotGreen
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2784150484 Do you like Dinosaur Facts? This is the level for you!
Sisyphus' Inferno by Priestly
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2783679473 Every time you get back up, they'll push you back down the hill...
Adventure Levels
The adventure levels are much harder to make because they are more open and complex so it's no surprise that more experienced level editors made some really impressive levels!
Mixed Reality by Dr. Guy
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2785637512 Everything is black and white and you must move through some really tricky jumping puzzles by switching the colours. It's also very forgiving, just teleporting you to the start if you fall off.
Temp Name by Hoverfish2
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2784081179 A great idea for a wave mode where you must wait for upgrade points to be made before collecting them!
The Elevator by Gorakh
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2786107813 Some surprising twists from random levels! A very funny take on creating your own arena.
Adventure Level by ILikePancakes
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2785970744 A tiny level with some really nicely decorated buildings in.
First try at animation by gabmarcar
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2785781272 A very quick and funny try at a first animation.

The Beginners Welcome Competition is over!
Hello Humans and CONGRATULATIONS LEVEL EDITORS!
You worked hard to make fun levels! Everyone who made a qualifying level will get the "Rest in Pieces" emote.
We are so happy to see lots of new people entering the competition! There are 99 entries this time which is 3 times as many as previous competitions! Playing them all will take longer than expected and we're not sure when the winners will be announced.
While you wait to see which levels we feature, play all the levels yourself! There are some really creative uses of the level editor and giving feedback to creators will help everyone improve.
Another thing we would love to hear is feedback on the level editor tutorial videos. Did they help you? Are there any topics you want to see them cover?
I will be playing some of the levels live on Twitch.tv/gamingftl over the next week or two. I will need your help to test the Last Bot Standing levels and you can share which levels you enjoyed in the twitch chat :D
Thank you for participating,
Josh, Doborog Community Manager
The "Beginners Welcome" Level Editor Competition!
Hello Humans!
We have made a series of videos on how to make fun levels with the level editor, so we thought it would be the perfect time for a new Level Editor Competition!
The Beginners Welcome Level Competition
This competition is to encourage everyone to make levels so the new "Rest in Pieces" Emote reward will go to everyone who submits a level!
If you have an idea for a level, try to make it! We are not looking for perfection, just levels that try to be fun.
We will pick our favorite level from each of Endless Mode, Adventure Mode, Last Bot Standing and Challenge Mode. This means that you can make whatever you want, we will be looking for fun ideas and even if they aren't perfect you still have a chance to be featured!
The competition starts NOW and ends on Monday 28th March at 23:00 GMT.
To our veteran Level creators this might not seem like a very long time, but for this competition, try to work on small, focused ideas that you can finish in a week!
If you don't know where to start with the Level Editor, watch this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvEAHpLN5yA&list=PLjNMhukbgXKsxoxjIwtfv8vIPV8z4iMB9
For more information on how to make an Adventure Mode level, start here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrtH57SIaDI&list=PLjNMhukbgXKsxoxjIwtfv8vIPV8z4iMB9&index=9
If you want info on making a Last Bot Standing Level, read this https://clonedroneinthedangerzone.com/how-to-make-a-great-last-bot-standing-level/
Do you want feedback on your level? Do you want to know if something specific is fun? Make sure you mention that in the workshop description. The Doborog team and the community will write helpful notes in the comments!
Emotes!
Everyone who enters a level into the competition will get the special "Rest in Pieces" Emote!
The creators of the levels we feature will get the "Good Luck, Have fun" Emote!
Any community members that write a helpful comment will get access to the "Everyone is a Winner when you have Fun" Emote. Please remember that not everyone will ask for feedback. If they do, they will put it in the description of their level. When you are writing a comment, describe what you think in more specific words than "good" or "bad". This will really help everyone get better at making levels that you enjoy!
As usual, it is OK if you want to work on your level with other people, or multiple levels as long as everyone's name is mentioned in the description.
Please only submit levels that have been created after the start of this competition.
Submit your level here!
When you are done, put the link to your level here: https://inj5jehpdl0.typeform.com/to/plDEFCjy
Good luck and have fun level editing! - Josh, Community Manager
Multiplayer Server Update - With more regions!
Hello Humans,
We have updated our multiplayer servers! While we hope that this will make them more stable, we have had to make a lot of changes to make them work on the new service, so we need your help to make sure they work properly!
But first, the best news... MORE SERVER REGIONS!
We have added US West, EU East and Asia East servers! These locations give players in those areas servers that are closer to them. Unfortunately we had to remove the Singapore server region but the Asia East server region will cover those people that used it and hopefully mean the matches have more people in them!
The full list of available regions is now:
Asia East
Australia
Brazil
EU East
EU West
Japan
US East
US West
Help us check the servers work for you!
We have tested these new servers as much as we can but multiplayer issues can be really specific to your local internet connection. We would love to know if the online performance of the game is better or worse for you.
If you encounter any of the below, please submit a bug report:
Does matchmaking not work for you?
Does your game get laggy when your ping is still low?
Does your co-op match crash after a long time?
You can send us a bug report via email bugs@doborog.com or on our Discord in the #cddz-bug-reports chat. As always with bug reports, if you can send us a video of your problem, that makes it a lot easier for us to understand how to fix it!
We plan on continuing to improve the servers and matchmaking over time, so any feedback is super helpful. Thanks to all who have helped us make the game better with your bug reports and feedback so far!

Learn how to use the Level Editor with our Tutorial Videos!
Hello Humans,
We have seen lots of new people creating awesome Levels on the Steam Workshop and asking how to do things. This made us think that it would be great if there was an easy way to learn. Josh has been making short Tutorial videos on commonly asked questions so that you can start making fun levels faster.
The first three are here! Starting with the basic controls: [previewyoutube="PvEAHpLN5yA;full"] One to show you how to make enemies start attacking using Triggers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc2nvThg_rg and another for making the Commentators and other robots speak: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdRkShXEanE
This is just the beginning!
Do you have any Level Editor questions that you want answered? Tell us in the comments and we will try to make tutorials that lots of people can use!
Happy Level Editing! Josh

Hotfix 1.2.0.12 - Apologies to Brazil!
We discovered a crash on startup happening for all players playing in Brazilian Portuguese on Windows. Then we fixed it, and it should no longer crash!
The crash is also happening on Xbox, which will be hotfixed separately in the next few days.
Sorry about that! Let us know if you find any other issues!
Cheers, Erik
A Zombie Co-Op Challenge and Christmas decorations are here!
Hello Humans!
We hope everyone has a fun holiday so we made a new Co-Op Challenge for you and your friends to play!
Grab a friend and play through 10 new levels full of our 4 new Zombie enemies! Be careful of their claws because unlike other enemies, if you chop their legs off, they still keep coming! The Update is coming to Steam, Switch, Playstation and Xbox all at the same time so you can all play together with Crossplay!
When you complete it, you unlock the Zombie 1 skin to use in multiplayer.
You can play it now! It's also available for Switch, Playstation and Xbox consoles, and you can play together over crossplay! It's a Co-Op multiplayer only challenge so if you want to find someone to play it with, visit the #cddz-find-a-match channel in our Discord. https://discord.gg/doborog
On top of that, the whole of the arena is nicely decorated for christmas and the audience and commentators are wrapped up warm!

Competition Award Winners
Best use of Stealth - The Search for David by ThistleG and Spogeg
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2660432510 You have no weapons in this level so if you want to save David then you've got to get good at sneaking. There's even a Stealth based boss fight at the end!
Best Use of Animation - Abandoned Sector by The Player Unknown and Aatkins
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2662671164 The cutscenes in this are great, quickly introducing us to four funny characters trying to survive a Zombie apocalypse!
Best Decoration - Supply Run by Dungaree
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2641863170 This Zombie Apocalypse looks great with all the nicely decorated buildings and areas. We really liked the way each the beginning of each level used the glowing text to describe it.
Most Epic Fight - Industrial Inspection by Auditor of the AAIC
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2639517912 This is a huge level (so be careful if your computer isn't that good) but it has a lot of very cool fights. My favourites are the ones with the anti-zombie lasers that you can trick them to run into!
Scariest Level - Once in a World of Nightmares by AROGOK
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2665299650 Creepy smiles, a floating ghost head, and plenty of jump scares if you take the wrong route!
Community Vote Award - Crash on Planet Hivez by HyperMedic
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2645880475 Seems like you're all Halo fans! This is a really fun and short level where you have to reach your space ship, killing or avoiding Zombies to free your friends!
Congratulations to everyone who sent in their levels. If you are a winner, please contact Josh#9271 on Discord for your rewards or via email josh@doborog.com
