Please don't hesitate to drop me a line in Discord or privately via oleg.chumakov@luden.io. I am always happy to talk :)
Early Access is finally over
It's about time now: when Playstation VR version of the game is published and new horizons of destruction are available for a huge variety of players.
We spent more than a year in Early Access. During this time, more than 40 updates were introduced into the game and hundreds of amazingly funny videos about it were posted on YouTube. Check out our favorite ones:

All of this happened thanks to you, our fantastic community. Thank you for being with us đ
You were waiting for this!
We made it possible for you to change the locomotion type in the new mode!
Now you are able to decide which locomotion typĐľ will be the most comfortable for you before the game starts, and there will be 3 options available. You can see them on screenshot.
Moreover, with this small update installed, you can try to play without a VR-helmet! At its current state, it feels a lot different from VR experience, but in time, we will make it possible for everyone to try VRobot out.
By the way, which locomotion type do you find the most comfortable and why?
Please share your thoughts in the comment section down below. :squirtyay:
Ready Player One mode!
Have you already seen the âReady Player Oneâ film or read the book? Weâve got so inspired by it that weâve decided to introduce a new mode at the time the most important movie about virtual reality hits the movie theaters!
Now you will be able to enter an absolutely new location from the main menu.
Here is a list of what you can meet there:
1)Protect the artifact from robots. There are 7 waves of enemies and 3 new types of them: giants, regular and fast robots, who run towards the dome faster than other robots. And the dome is the only protection your artifact has! Besides you, of course.
2)Absolutely stunning retro music. It will be a lot of fun smashing the robots while listening to addictive beats!
3)Weapons youâve been already introduced to: the Hammer and the Gun from multiplayer. In order to receive the latter, you will have to work some stuff out and reach the 3rd wave. The Gun will appear right on the location, all you will need to do is to grab it and use it to destroy everything around you using two hands. Also you can take 2 pistols at once!
The rules are simple:
Destroy waves of enemies with style
Protect the artifact under the dome, its HP can be seen on top
If the dome is destroyed - it is not that horrible, there is still you to prevent the enemies from destroying the artifact.
Hope you will enjoy the new mode! :8bitheart:
Multiplayer!
Hey-ho dear friends :) I have only three words for you: Robots, Revolver, Ready.
We've finally launched a test version of the multiplayer mode!
Multiplayer is in open ALPHA now
We've already told you a lot about PvP, but now you will be able to launch its test version! Hooray!
New weapon: Revolver!
Unexpected, eh? SURPRISE! In the test version of the multiplayer mode, a huge revolver which shoots rockets awaits you! By the way, nobody canceled the benefit of making headshots.
And a lot more stuff you love the robot for: throw the fragments, fight using skyscrapers, use a house as a shield or a shelter, though it won't be able to handle a lot of bullets.
How to start
Find a small city on the world's map with two red robots and teleport to it.
To start a match you just need to click "Create a game" or, if you want to join your friend, click "Join". EZ!
A bit of info about the rules:
- Shoot the enemy using weapons, throw buildings at him.
- Do not leave the enemy reactor area. You will die if you do so.
- When the time of the match runs out, the one who made more kills wins.
If you've encountered any bugs, please tell us about them and we will do all that will be needed to fix the issues as soon as possible.
Robot vs Robot
Hello, friends!
Today we want to share a lot of information about the upcoming multiplayer!
When weâve decided to choose âPlayer VS Playerâ concept for the multiplayer, weâve encountered a lot of problems and difficulties: starting with maps what we had in the game already - they were not suitable for this mode. Same goes to the teleport system, which could have given a big advantage or disadvantage to certain players. And the fact that we had absolutely no idea how one player should see another player in the game was just another issue in this list.
That was exactly the time when we came to ask for your help! Iâm sure you remember us posting sketches and voting polls.
We are excited to show you the results of our hard work:
VRobotâs model
Weâve added the Robotâs model to game. In the new mode, you can actually "touch" your opponent.
Interaction
Weâve added the interaction between the environment and the enemy - now you can throw houses at him, and in the future - use different types of weapons.
New map and locomotion
Weâve prepared a new map with two respawn points on it. Weâve also added an absolutely new element to the game - the energy reactors. While the enemy's reactor is active - the player is protected with a shield. In order to disable the enemyâs shield you need to destroy his reactor.
Weâve decided to remove the teleports and use locomotion instead.
At the moment, we are busy testing this mode and fixing bugs :smile:
Soon we will launch multiplayer in test mode, and, of course, we will be awaiting for your comments and suggestions about it!:call_soulmate:
Updated menu
Hello, friends!
Multiplayer's development is going in full swing, and on the next week, I will be given an opportunity to test the new map and "touch" the new enemy a bit.
As for now - let me share some fresh news with you. Due to the new concept of the game we are getting to, we've decided to say goodbye to the old menu.
There is little time left until you will see a huge square with cities located on it instead of the previous menu. By looking at the screenshot you may come to a belief that the game looks like a city builder game, but nope, the game is about destruction :)
The next feature on the way is the teleport-door, we are not sure with what we will replace it with yet. If you've got any ideas - share them with us in the comment section!
I also can't forget to tell you this: my colleagues are working on a game about machine learning. It can't be purchased in Steam yet, but we provide limited access to it for our friendsËsteamhappyË
You can learn more about it here
A huge update coming soon!
Friends, we are happy to tell you that the global changes in the game are getting closer and closer!
Now we are testing VRobot in 4 hands, guess why?:smile:
That's right, we managed to get through the difficulties of making the multiplayer mode! You will be able to fight 1x1 with an opponent, using improvised means - at home, in a car, - very soon.
I will tell you even more: in this mode you will see a new system of movement - locomotion, - which you asked us to make in the comments for a lot of times. The old maps will still have a "teleport" functioning on them.
Also, we have prepared a new map specifically for the multiplayer mode.
Next time I will definitely tell you more about the new map, and also show how your VRobot will look in the game!
What kinds of weapons would you like to see in the new mode? Do not hesitate to write in the comments down below, we always do appreciate your opinion.
Multiplayer with â¤ď¸
Hello, friends
It is Oleg speaking. Usually, it is Anastasia who writes here, but I've decided to take advantage of her being on vacation and tell you all the truth.
You have probably lost us, haven't you? We will explain everything right now :)
First of all, New Year an Christmas in Russia are celebrated differently from the other parts of the world. People in Russia stop working on 31st of December and they go back to work only on 9th of January.
Second, we've been very busy with only one thing for quite a while now - adding multiplayer to the game. I would really love to show you screenshots and other related stuff, Anastasia is protecting the players from us, developers, and tells us that showing you pictures without giving an opportunity to actually play multiplayer is evil.
We are in a real hurry trying to bring you multiplayer in January, but there is hell lot of stuff to change to do so. For example, today was the day we first played with a controllable crowd of robocitizens, they are really funny and crash everything standing on their path, - it resembles controlling the minions in the Overlord game a lot.
It is hard to say how much time exactly did we spend on search for the design of ours and enemy's robots. Thank you for voting for different designs, it had inspired us to work harder.
Here are some sketches of the energy generator, it is responsible for the zone where the robots get charged up. Therefore, the enemy generator will only hurt other robots, so we've divided the map into friendly and hostile zones.
To sum everything up, dear players, we are here, working hard and hurrying up as much as we can. Please leave this post a like and cheer us up with some funny comments down below so that we know you are still here by our side!
