Science Meets Sandbox. Cozy Builder, Roboco, Launches November 3
Build robots to serve the needs of squishy, hapless humans in the world of tomorrow!
Wisconsin, United States / 1 November, 2022 - Robotics sandbox game, RoboCo, is officially launching on November 3. From Filament Games comes a unique sandbox adventure with an engineering twist. The goal? Solve a campaign of challenges by building robots to help hapless humans.
RoboCo gives players complete freedom to build whatever they can imagine, to flex their creative and engineering muscles to create robots capable of solving humanity’s most pressing and urgent problems. Whether it’s building custom robots to deliver sandwiches, or helping to make a romantic date night slightly less awkward, the challenge is not only building a robot that drives, grabs or chops, but one that does it well (without causing too much damage!).
Robots can be built with prefabricated constructs, or players wanting a more in-depth experience can create robots completely from scratch. Whether it’s tall, small, or shaped like a frog, there’s no limit to the creativity players can have. There may be some trial and error involved, but with a bit of problem solving the robots will be rolling in no time, just not necessarily in a straight line. Advanced engineers can even use the powerful Python coding language to automate their robots’ actions while they kick back and relax. Players can even share their creations via the robot sharing features in the community workshop!
Ready to get building? Roboco will be available to prospective engineers when it releases on Steam on November 3. For more updates, follow Roboco on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Check out the dev blogs on Steam for development updates, and join the community on Discord to get in on the conversation.
