Hey everyone!
Right now, players from all over the world are diving into the updated Botlings demo, pushing my tiny mechanical swarm to its absolute limits, and launching bots across the desert. If you haven’t jumped in yet, the gates are wide open, and I am currently live streaming the game directly on our Steam page!
Why I’m Here: A Game I Truly Believe In
Putting your work out there as a solo developer for thousands of people to play is always nerve-wracking. You spend months alone with your code, wondering if it's actually as fun as it feels in your head. But honestly? I am doing this because I deeply, truly believe in Botlings.
I’ve poured my heart into blending the chaotic, nostalgic charm of Lemmings with the deep, satisfying logic of Factorio. Seeing the layout puzzles come together, watching the directional automation click, and introducing the deeper AI awakening systems has made me incredibly proud of what this game is becoming. I know it’s a fresh, unique take on the genre, and I truly think it's something special.
But a great automation game isn't built in a vacuum. It needs a community.
I Need Your Brains (And Your Feedback!)
As much as I love where the game is right now, Botlings cannot reach its full potential without you. A game about tight logistics, pathfinding, and optimization needs to be tested by the most chaotic forces in the universe: actual players.
Did my new conveyor-less worker logic break your brain in the best way?
How do the speed controls feel when the swarm gets massive?
Did you find a hilarious way to break my bot catapults?
Every piece of feedback - whether it’s a bug report, a balancing suggestion, or just a thought on the UI - is incredibly valuable to me right now. You are directly helping me shape the final vision of the game.
