RED HOT ROBOT FUN! Nebraska DELUXE!

YO! Readers!

What's going to be different in Nebraska DELUXE?!? Let me tell you!

-NO wait times! There were complaints about the intro video being too long. Well not anymore! Developments in "press any key to skip" technology now lets players bypass the intro video. You spoke and Mr. Hexagon listened!

-LARGER level to take advantage of! In the earlier version you were stuck inside a rather small, under-developed level. In Nebraska DELUXE, the explorable world has at least DOUBLED.

-SLIGHTLY improved artificial intelligence. These ain't your momma's robots!

-BONUS story content! There was unused dialogue and story in the first edition that is going to be stuffed into every nook and cranny! Did somebody say Richard Nixon?!?

YOU BETTER BE EXCITED BECAUSE I KNOW I AM.

You know what? I'm feeling so confident that Nebraska DELUXE is going to be a winner that I'm going to give you this free, complimentary screen shot.

Results Are FINALLY In

After over a month, Game Builder's 20 Event Competition has finally come to a conclusion. The results being submitted on Monday afternoon play Dungeon Dash in first place. Congrats, Jabs.

But what does that mean for Tag Robot Nebraska? 13th place. Out of 23. A great spot to enter the world of competition. We can only go up from here!

Tag Robot Nebraska will be released soon with minor fixes as suggested by the Judges.

The Jury is Still Out

Judges have been taking their sweet time at Game Builder over the past few weeks. With 23 entries in the 40 Event Competition it's no wonder. The expectation has been growing exponentially--it's through the roof! And only time will tell who the real winners are.

But this delay in announcement interferes a bit with what my plans were. The original plan was to have released Tag Robot Nebraska to the public already. Since I want to wait until we have scores from the contest, I will use this time to add more to the game. This means the version being judged will differ from the version everybody else will play, but I feel that it's for the better.
