Dearest Atomians!
Thank you for joining us to celebrate our birthday :D We are all exhausted from all the partying!
Psssst, we saw you all dancing on the giant cake, what a hoot!
Hope you enjoyed all the free gifts and surprises that we created for you. Let us know what your favourite moments were by tweeting us @atomrepublic and don't forget our competition to win some swag for your avatar - more details below.
So here's to our next year of awesomeness!
And it begins right now, as it's time for more cool stuff from midnight tonight! (UK time). We have bundled up some new items, popped in a new space and even had time to fix a few crazy bugs!
Get your glow on
Mwuhahahahahahahahhaha...welcome to the darkness of Crowbots. It's the perfect space for wearing your glowing sole trainers eh? Well if you like that you will LOVE what we have coming out for you next.
Check out these glowing cyber locks, eyes, necklace and wristband.
Get raving and throw some shapes with these beauties!
Time for a change?
Now that you can customise your avatar in game, there's so much more scope for experimenting with your style! So we bring you more items to play with :)
Subscribers can kit themselves out in this skull hoodie for men or a sleek plain beach bikini for women.
To add to that for Adam we have this cool pair of Tartan Zipped trousers, plus a kooky diagonal striped t shirt (makes me think of toothpaste for some reason!)
Eve has a new dress to wear - finally a dress you can purchase with molecules! This casual bandeau dress is perfect for evening drinks by the pool, so I'll see you all in Mirage House!
We wanted to try something different for Eve. For a while now Adam has had a choice of tight or baggy t-shirts, but all of Eve's are tight. So we have created a baggy t shirt for when you feel like wearing something super comfy and chilled. Variety is the spice of life afterall!
And don't forget the subscriber dance this month is 'Disco Fever' and the pose is 'beckon'. Have fun with those!
In-Game Bundles!
This saturday, we are releasing our very first in-game bundle! We are starting with a bunch of number t-shirts that you can buy as a bundle, or individually. The bundle is better value than buying them all individually. Over time we will bundle up more items to give you more choice in how you make purchases.
These bundles will be intelligent! They will work out what you already own from the bundle and adjust the price accordingly. So if you already own some items from the bundle you will not pay full price for the bundle! How cool is that!!!
Make sure if you buy an individual bundle item you refresh the page before trying to buy the whole bundle straight away, as otherwise the new bundle price won't have been calculated. Press touchpad or spacebar to refresh.
So, what's your favourite number? Now you can show it on your shirt. And if it's 35679, then you will have to rope some friends in to help you :D
Number t-shirt bundle available from Saturday 30th September.
Subscribers! Explore a New Space!
Step inside the Horror Forest- if you DARE!
This work-in-progress public space will be available for all subscribers to access for an early preview.
We wanted you to have a sneak peek before we bring the full version to you. It's a very early version right now, so enjoy being one of the first to experience it.
Horror forest preview available from 30th September.
Don't get lost!
Here comes our first mention of Christmas...
You knew that it couldn't be too far away eh? Well don't panic, I'm not going full on Christmas mode, yet ;)
We are launching our next design competition, and this time we want you to create a seasonal classic...a Christmas jumper! The wining design will go onto a woolly jumper for Adam and Eve and be free to all users!
Get involved a create a piece of AU history :)

Crowbots will return to normal on Saturday 30th at 12pm (UK time) so make the most of it! After that; no more cake for you!
Patch 0.10.1.4150
You may have noticed a cheeky extra little update to the game on Wednesday. We used 0.10.1 to fix a couple of bugs in game, including one where you could sit in the air in Arcade Plaza! We know you had fun playing with it, but it wasn't supposed to be there!
Wheweeee! Another great update. Get one last dance in on the cake and check out the community party happening in Arcade Plaza on Saturday night (UK time).
See you next week!
