Hello Gang,

Don't know if my developer snapshot made it through so I'm just re-posting to my blog.

I've started working on an game called Combat Robotic Games. The name is a temporary working title and it's a learning project with hopes of developing it to a full release game. It's an FPS that is played in stadium style arenas and you play as a robot against other robot players or NPC's.

Some features I plan to implement are different game types (Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Survival, NPC killzone, etc.) and a level editor. I have not decided on the full set of weapons but you can expect to see guns, rifles, shotguns, rockets, etc.

Instead of releasing alphas and betas, I've decided to release prototypes of the work in progress. I feel I'll get better feedback from gamers if I allow them to play the actual game. This is the first prototype, so I know it has problems but don't let that stop you from commenting or criticizing. The whole point of prototyping is to get feedback.

The game has content from other projects or modified from online sources and most likely all of it will be replaced by better content by the time is finished. It's not meant to show the final product.

Here is the obligatory image. :)
