New Website, PC Game, and The Grudge Match Challenge.
So after months without a website because it got hacked, we€™ve finally been able to use our quiet summer to build one.
Working closely with Liam Cozens, not only do we now have a brand new website, but also a PC Game too!!!
For the first time you will be able to control your favourite robots in your armchair, and with regular updates and upgrades your game should always be up to date with the latest robots and arena changes. The game will be released 7th October, but until then feel free to play the early version on the website. Pre order your copy now.
Something also which is new is the €œ Grudge Match Challenge €œ where you will be able to submit your grudge matches either from you or if you prefer even anonymously and we will try and sort them out. http://www.roamingrobots.co.uk/grudgematch.html
Enjoy

Re: New Website, PC Game, and The Grudge Match Challenge.
i noticed that the game update was on the shop so is that up for pre-order aswell. :?:
Re: New Website, PC Game, and The Grudge Match Challenge.
Yep you can purchase both now if you like.
The game will be sent out 7th October and then the first update will be in February.
It's up to you of you want to pay for both now or seperately !

Re: New Website, PC Game, and The Grudge Match Challenge.
Will the game update come out as a disc or a download? (sorry about so many questions)
Re: New Website, PC Game, and The Grudge Match Challenge.
Most probably a download from
Our website !
That's ok, fire away if there's any more :-)
Re: New Website, PC Game, and The Grudge Match Challenge.
In the first version of the game will you be able fight robots or just drive them around the arena?
Re: New Website, PC Game, and The Grudge Match Challenge.
First version is just driving, flipping objects and fall in the pit.
After the update it's the finished game and it will be fighting and multiplayer.
Hence the reduced cost at the moment to launch it.
Once it's complete people will buy the finished thing and then it'll just be robot updates etc :-)
You save money by buying it now but obviously you have to wait a bit for the update.
Re: New Website, PC Game, and The Grudge Match Challenge.
I'll probably pre-order the game tomorrow. Nice website by the way.
Re: New Website, PC Game, and The Grudge Match Challenge.
Oh no, the database is missing. *cries*
Nice website though. Looks nice.
I still think a downloadable mobile game would be better. Far more downloads, keeps the kids quiet on the way home.
Re: New Website, PC Game, and The Grudge Match Challenge.
As a piece of constructive criticism the average page size is WAY too big, takes an age to load on my connection let alone the average slower one. The images can and should be smaller files with no loss of quality, the background image for instance is a crazy 2551x1616px, it's incredibly inefficient to use images to format web pages in that way, much wiser to use divs and css to style tables and borders. Whoever re-designed the website clearly doesn't know much about web development to put it bluntly. Maybe most people who don't know much about programming won't mind as much, but it's worth considering that as it currently is the website is definitely holding you back from an accessibility standpoint!
Also just to check did you get my PM reply OK? Haven't heard back, can resend if not?
