WE DID IT!๐& Important Announcement
🕑 Added 2025-02-09 21:30:55 +0000 UTCSo yesterday when we launched the Kickstarter I said "Ok let's see how this goes but I'm gonna treat it as if it's not successful", so the development plan was just "let's just continue going with a February Release.
But then I checked in the first hour and it was almost $2k, I said "woah".
Then I checked a few more hours later and it was nearly $6k in like 5 hours.
Then I said "holy shit this might actually make it". So then development schedule started to slowly adjust as if we were to get funding for it.
One 0.5M-views viral tweet later AND WE DID๐
What's going to happen at Patreon?
As promised I have begun refunding people from the period between January 8th-February 8th for the Kickstarter so people use those funds instead for the Kickstarter. This means that if you came afterwards you won't receive a refund. HOWEVER we are changing how things work around here.
Since the Kickstarter was successful:
We ARE going to continue to provide weekly development posts. Game development is a huge passion for us so we want to keep you guys informed and show off what we are working on for the game's full STEAM RELEASE. So for the same $2 this will remain available.
We are NO LONGER providing monthly pre-release builds. No February build. This is because having a set amount of funds to make the game radically changes the development from a loose "Let's add this feature this week!" to a "We must follow a schedule", and pushing out a monthly production build causes A LOT of overhead. The $5 and $9 will remain available for people who wish to play the demo with our online services (or if you just really love us).
The January build will remain Patreon exclusive as usual until next month.
What's going to happen to the Steam Release?
The Patreon will become the main hub for the game as it is under development. I am in the process of organizing deliverables to all backers who won backer-exclusive rewards. Much of this can't be formally started until the Kickstarter actually ends in a month. After the Kickstarter ends, we expect MyRobot to be finished in about 3~5 months (Finally at the Steam store). Of course this timeframe can increase if the Kickstarter keeps winning more milestones!
Do I get Voice Tokens from the Kickstarter now?
First off, Kickstarter doesn't tell us who gets what until the actual campaign ends (in 1 month), so right now it's impossible for me to know who gets what. HOWEVER we are indeed looking into distributing your hard-earned tokens early so you can not only use them for the Steam release in a few months, but also for today's demo!
Are you going to fix bugs in the January build?
Yes I have a patch coming today to address some issues. I've heard some people get stuck in the Robot Editor and can't close it.
Where's MyRobot Development Part 47?
Kickstarter and answering questions on social media has totally dominated my past 48 hours. Tons of emails, scammers, influencers, and people who just need help understanding something have poured in. But it's coming! I have some really cool tech to show off flowers ๐น๐น๐น which will be for the new forest biome! Just give me a couple days lmao!

Loving the demo so far, hoping in the future the Ai has less of a chat bot feel and more of a companion to comment on things going around us, I just want it to be more aware I guess?

Congrats! Do you think you will do something like a public beta before full release IF the ETA for full release get pushed back because of the milestones?
KDemon
