Get Your Butts Ready, The Vanguard Testing Program Applications Are Now OpenMar 13, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsAttention Robocrafters, The time has come to enlist in the Vanguard Testing program. We need pilots to sit in the 'seat of progress' and play early content and features in Robocraft 2 during the early stages of development. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6281279/c03a41d839b9b0059072db5015fa6e9cbe567a5b.jpg Much like how your buttocks can shape the leathery mould of this seat over time, so too can your involvement in the Vanguard Testing Program shape the development of Robocraft 2. Apply now We will contact successful applicants when the game is ready to be tested by players. Good luck!Robocraft Rebuild - First Look At T1 and T2 LasersFeb 12, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsWhilst a number of the team are working towards the first playable version of the rebuild, our artists have been continuing their efforts in recreating OG Robocraft blocks to bring them to 2024 standards! Check out the T1 and T2 lasers below: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6281279/966da364481645066895ea163823fd491554853a.jpgRobocraft Rebuild - WheelsFeb 6, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsCheck out the T1 and T2 wheels coming to Robocraft Rebuild. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6281279/7e06d4744fc84f93ef6b5a747595a03b3cfc7205.jpgRobocraft Rebuild - Planned Features and First Look At The Cube ManipulatorJan 30, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsWhen the Early Access version of Robocraft 2 launched on Steam we received thousands of reviews, reactions and comments from fans of Robocraft. Whilst some players liked the new direction we had taken the game in, many many more expected and wanted something much closer to a modern version of the original game. We took some time. We did some soul-searching. We reread every single review, word by word, considering again all the feedback we had received about the game from all of our social channels. We also looked at the stats. After all of that, we made the very tough decision to rebuild the game, from the ground up, to be much closer to a modern version of the original game. This time though, we want to build the foundations that can support a bigger game (in time) with lots of varied gameplay options, particularly introducing engaging and varied solo and co-op online PVE on top of the team PVP elements. Robocraft 2.1 Features We wanted to give some more information on what features will be present in Robocraft 2.1: Building Systems The core building system will stay true to OG but with modern graphics, animation, sound effects and polish - a key aim will be to make the building feel polished and satisfying. We will have Tiered blocks back and each tier will look visually different so we won’t be forced to colour them to indicate tier, instead allowing users to be able to use the colours they wish for cosmetic purposes. Colour mode will let you choose from a full RBG spectrum (16 million colours) and will utilize the 6-colour palette system we created for Robocraft 2, though we will upgrade this to allow players to create their own custom palettes where they can apply as they wish. Functional blocks like Wheels and Weapons will utilize the familiar systems from OG where internal wiring is automated for rapid building and iteration. We’ll be making sure that where you position the parts and how you stack them will affect the performance characteristics of your robocraft, so although building new robocraft and iterating will be fairly quick the choices you make will always make a difference (e.g. “old-wings” not “new-wings”). All staple QoL features will exist such as Mirror mode, Undo, Redo, Shifting, CoM indicator, etc. There will be a unified CPU limit (no separate Weapon CPU) and a cosmetic CPU limit for cosmetics. Robot Rank and Tiers will return, with the familiar Tier meter coming back in the HUD. All HUD UI will feel familiar to the original games but will be polished to meet modern graphical quality standards and expected layouts. The Build Bay will be rebuilt with beautiful graphics and we will make the consoles and screens that appear within the bay functional and interactive. Overall, our building systems will aim to engage players in the Build Drive Fight loop, with new players able to build their own working robocraft and get into online gameplay within a relatively short period of time and for them to learn quickly and intuitively h...Block Anim PrototypeJan 26, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsEarlier this week, we announced that we would be rebuilding Robocraft 2 from the ground up with modern graphics and technology, with a building system familiar to players of Robocraft from 2014 - 2015. We’ve been working on an experimental prototype where we’re just exploring ways of making placing and deleting blocks feel fluid and satisfying with animation and sound. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6281279/b85aa4baa2b67cac5b50daca3f1c03cac70ee909.png This is not an early version of the rebuild or anything like that, it is a simple internal prototype exploring how to make placing and deleting blocks feel satisfying that we thought we’d share with you so you could try it: BlockAnimPrototype Download Robocraft 2 - RebuildJan 22, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHello Robocrafters, As promised, here is some more information on the image of the Tier 1 cube we posted on socials earlier this week: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6281279/1661fb285e54a8c08bbc6ca97b7610b35d85b1c4.jpg Given the feedback we have received from so many fans of Robocraft and the response the current version Robocraft 2 has received on its initial early access launch, we have decided to rebuild Robocraft 2 from the ground up to be much closer to OG (from the 2014-2015 era) with modern graphics and technology and with a greater variety of PVE and PVP gameplay for players to choose from which we will add over time. We have put together this FAQ which will answer some of the questions players will have and we will monitor spaces where robocraft is being discussed and will add to the FAQ over time.

Ten years ago, on March 7th 2013, Robocraft’s first-ever playable build launched! It was a huge milestone as Freejam’s first-ever game! We are humbled that there have been over 16 million players during that time that have built robots, driven them into battle and fought against other players online. Thank you, from everyone at Freejam. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6281279/05b51429ab0dfd6fb0fc65b6b5a3564b89a4366c.jpg The art above was created by Sonia, one of our artists at Freejam! To celebrate we have a code which will provide you with 10 days of premium and 500 cosmetic credits. How to use the code Open up Robocraft Press escape while in the main men Select “Enter code” Enter the following code: ROBOCRAFT10 This code will expire in 30 days and can only be used once per account We also have released some cubes on the item shop that can be purchased with CC {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6281279/ba1b73cb470f2632a1ffddc26cf166d230bfa027.gif Retro Cubes were first introduced as part of Robo Pass Season 2 around 4 years ago.

FreejamROBOCRAFT 2 - ADD IT TO YOUR WISHLISTFeb 3, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHello Robocrafters, Over the last few months we’ve been working on a sequel to Robocraft. You can add it to your wishlist via the link below: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1991140/Robocraft_2/ Check out this trailer which was created from some very early online closed alpha battle tests with the community. Build, Drive, Fight will continue to be our mantra for Robocraft 2. You’ll construct robots out of blocks, bring them into battle and then fight online against other players. You’ll earn Robits for each battle which can be spent in-game. We will be introducing a number of changes like getting out of your robot, the ability to stretch and scale blocks, and changing robots mid-battle. We also have plans to provide new and interesting ways to build your robots ranging from physics-based joints like axles, hinges, servos and pistons. But you’ll also be able to create tank tracks using a modular system. We have an example of it working in this concept video: Below is the core list of features in Robocraft 2 that were not in the original Robocraft Block-by-block destruction - Deal damage to the blocks of each robot to destroy their connections! Robots break block by block and this affects the structural integrity of a machine and ultimately its performance in battle. Switch robots mid-game - If your tactic in battle is not working, head to your switch plate and select a new robot. Get out of the robot - Leave the robot and hop into a teammate's spare seat. Control multi-manned machines and in the future, larger Mega-bot-like creations which could be found on the map! On-foot combat - While out of the robot you are equipped with the Quantum Machine gun, great to use against other pilots Server-side physics - Every smash, collision and projectile is handled server-side. Machines can even lift and push each other. Weight really matters! Accelerate a heavy robot into a light robot and it’ll tear it apart in a satisfying explosion of blocks! Stretch and scale - Blocks can be stretched into various shapes across the grid to create unique shapes for your robot. Material painting - Paint each block with a different material which affects weight, strength, friction and bounciness. A huge selection of new shapes not seen in Robocraft before - Including plates, pipes, cones, and posts which offer unrivalled robot design and functionality. New joint parts like axles, servos, pistons and hinges - Create interesting mechanical designs like robots that crush other players with deadly pincers, or a machine that is capable of launching itself into the air to quickly travel across a map. Robust logic and sensor blocks - Use a variety of logic chips to create a plethora of engineering functions which can create very unique robot mechanisms. Wiring system - Wire up the pilot seat to control various parts of your machine. Combine logic and sensor blocks for complex robot functions. Auto-wiring makes the building accessible for all! Tweakable stats - Each part of you...Incoming Maintenence 19.01.2023Jan 19, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsUpdate 19.01.2023 We are now out of maintenance.
