About This Game It’s August 2021 and you're recruited by Nakagawa Corp., Japan's leading robot manufacturer. Agrihan, Nakagawa’s private island in the South Pacific was infiltrated. The robots are acting strangely. Agrihan ( Bot Colony) is a Mars testbed staffed mostly by robots - so you'll need to talk to THEM to investigate what happened.Bot Colony ( www.botcolony.com) is unique in that it's currently the ONLY game on the planet relying on AI-based conversation as the main game mechanic. You speak in English with robots (or type) in order to advance in the game. Bot Colony will appeal to players interested in genre-defining games with novel mechanics. If you enjoy figuring out how to get through to robots, command them through actions and investigate - you'll enjoy Bot Colony. The game is played in an eerie South Pacitic setting where modern architecture and robots contrast with the jungle environment. It integrates adventure, simulation, RPG and puzzles into a unique language-based gameplay with a great atmospheric soundtrack. You'll get to experience Artificial Intelligence that is currently in the realm of cinematic fantasy in Her, Ex Machina, iRobot, Blade Runner, 2001 A Space Odyssey. It's a challenging and entertaining experience that will make you realize how literally machines process language, and how much we take for granted when we speak with people.KEY FEATURESType of speak freely and discover the story using your own words. The answers spoken by the robots is generated dynamically. Contrast with typical game storytelling, where canned voice acting is controlled by dialog trees. Experience the eerie atmosphere of a South Pacific island featuring ultra modern architecture and robots amid a lush jungle setting. The techno-romantic mood is enhanced by the original music soundtrack of the game. Play detective and piece together the events that took place in a house in a 48 hour period by exploring the robot's video observations. Work with the robots to scuttle violent sabotage attempts by robot-hating organizations.Game sessions are unique to each player: What you say controls how robots react and what they answer. Sessions of other players will have different dialog than your session. Every session is unique.Make the game your own: Teach robots new knowledge and new commands. Speak or type. The Microsoft Cognitive speech-to-text does an amazing job understanding what you say, irrespective of your accent. When speech-to-text makes mistakes, you can easily correct them. You can combine playing through speech or text according to your preference. Inspired by Bot Colony sci-fi novel, a near future industrial espionage thriller by Eugene Joseph. The novel ( available on Amazon Kindle) explores the verbal abilities of future robots and introduces the 5th law of robotics 'do as people do'. 7aa9394dea Title: Bot ColonyGenre: Adventure, Casual, Indie, RPG, Simulation, Strategy, Early AccessDeveloper:North SidePublisher:North SideRelease Date: 16 Jun, 2014 Bot Colony Download] [Patch] pulsar lost colony bot guide. bot colony steam. bot colony review. pulsar lost colony bot setup. bot colony giant bomb. bot colony download. bot colony walkthrough. bot colony gameplay. bot colony game. bot colony free download. pulsar lost colony bot inventory 10/10 would 360p again. Quick Review: Bot Colony, while still a bit buggy, does some pretty amazing things with natural speech recognition, and even when the robots don't understand your commands it's generally more entertaining than frustrating. Although you currently can't purchase the game from the Steam page, the dev is still selling Steam keys to anyone who understands that the game will probably be shut down and unplayable after this month (March). If you don't mind this caveat, I wholeheartedly recommend that you try out this game before it's gone forever. Long Review: I first played Bot Colony about a year ago before it was released on Steam. At that time, the robots didn't understand enough commands to make the game interesting. Solving puzzles was more about trying to guess which commands the robots recognized than it was about trying to deal with the robot's unique understanding of the world. Fast forward a year, and I find out that not only has the game been released on Steam, but it is shutting down in a month for lack of funding! You see, every time you ask one of the robots a question, it sends that question to some language-parsing servers to analyze and reply to your question. Apparently the sales for Bot Colony have been so low that they could no longer afford this extra step, which would render the game unplayable as soon as the servers are shut down.I was pretty disappointed because I really wanted to try the game one more time, but luckily the dev was still selling keys to those interested. I got the game, and the improvements over the last year were everything I had hoped for. While the robots still rarely do what you want them to, it's no longer due to the fact that they don't recognize certain commands so much as they take everything you say literally. For example, when I ask the robot to "pick up the cup", he asks "which one?" and then proceeds to list every cup in the house. Or, when I tell the robot to "put the block on the dresser above the blue drawer", he balances the block precariously on the very edge of the drawer. As a result, Bot Colony has changed from a rather boring "guess the right word" game, into a game where you really have to consider the inner logic of the robot's mind. At its core it's an adventure game, but the language element adds a really unique puzzle element that I've never seen in another game before.Of course, the game is still an early access game, so there are a few rough edges as well. The walk speed seems a bit too slow for me, so I was constantly running everywhere in the game. There was also one bug that required me to restart the level (outlined below), but it was so funny that it's hard not to forgive it.All in all, I wholeheartedly recommend this game even though it will likely be shut down next month. As long as you understand that the gameplay is about trying to get a somewhat overly-logical robot to follow your commands you should be able to get a lot of enjoyment out of the game within the next few weeks. Check the forums on the Steam hub if you are interested in buying one of the remaining Steam keys from the dev!And because I like to have my cake and eat it too, here's the joke review that I originally wanted to post:In the very first mission of the game you must complete an objective by giving commands to your prospective boss' house robot. I told the robot to pick up what I thought was a pepper shaker, but instead of going for the object I was looking at the robot went over to open a cupboard. Realizing that the robot was going to pick up the wrong object, I quickly said, "Stop!" and the robot froze in mid-action with the cupboard door half-open."Ok, now go back"..."Go backwards"..."Turn left"..."Go"..."Continue moving"..."I just froze you, didn't I?"...10/10 Would crash a multi-millionaire's robot butler again.. i purchased this game nearly a year ago and it is still in early access? prosgraphics 7/10sound 8/10movement 5/10cons:clunkycommands are still hard to get through to your botstill in early accessfunds are low so no updates in a very long timepersonal thoughts:i keep hearing they are going to debunk the game and take down the servers....idk what to think...i have not played this in a long time because of all the issues the company is having. p.s. i cannot in good faith recommend this game at this time...untill or if this game ever gets completed and all the bugs have been addressed. also have never been able to even complete the tutorial...kept getting caught lol.i would be very careful buying early access games...follow them 1st see how often updates are occuring b4 buying....i learned the hard way :/. Great gameplay, high potential, pretty good graphics, nice concept with voice implementation, good controls, overall 9/10, i liked it!. Okay game sounds fun...I CANT EVEN GET PASSED THE CURSED TUTORIAL! I try get it do commands nothing seems work and the help just repeats i mean be simplier if the help say say this or something i given up at this point i cant even move on from tutorial. All i get to trying fixed a ♥♥♥♥ing cushion that dosnt even work. Making the commands simplier probably be helpful.. Had this game for a while and came back to see if it had been improved any... NOPE!!! There are still game breaking bugs and the AI is as crippled as ever. The robot in the intro will insist objects are already closed when they are open, etc. If I could order the robot to step in the shower and turn it on, I would have. Save your money.. The game tells me at the start i'm not online. Of course I am or I wouldn't connect to steam or access the demo online. Is there a trick to recognize that I have a server? That's what I don't like about the game so far. It won't let me play it.If I actually play it, I'll give a review.. I see a lot of potential in this game and truly hope it can recieve additional funding to further advance the tech behind it. When everything works as it should Bot Colony is an amazing experience and I'm glad I was fortunate enough to have an opportunity to play it.. The game has unique concept and mechanics, though some robots seem to be stubborn or plain stupid, it varies from fun to frustrating to try to communitcate with them properly. Team put a great effort and a lot of time in this game, so it's definitely worth a try, especially for its price. Keep in mind that game requires some intermediate English knowledge.. I felt this game have something progress, so interested in. For example I'm from out of language of the english.so sometimes I can not type word soon, but I could "what is this?" to ask Robot and they did answer.it was very fun thing, but seem has some bug still on it. anyhow good progress on the game. Text-to-Animation video: We'd appreciate your feedback on the text-to-animation idea described here (spoiler alert: Intruder will be much easier once you see this! BTW, this was done through speech, and it shows game performance with a trained profile isn't bad at all): https://www.dropbox.com/s/pai63dfy04530gx/Text-to-animation.mp4WHY THIS MATTERS?In Bot Colony, you can command robots to do things. What if we made this available as a tool in which you could import your own characters, a setting of your choice, and you could command the characters using a text script? (as you do in Intruder). Add special effects and editing tools, and you'd have what it takes to produce your own CG videos. With appropriate controls to synchronize character behaviour and speech, you could also make your own games (so, a modding tool). The key idea is to create animation through language, which opens this up to anyone (today, it's only animators).A new medium of creative expression. Thoughts?. What's Next and The Untold Story video: We're now making a last ditch effort to find a solution to keep the game going past March 15. Since Valve removed the BUY button from our page, we're now offering Bot Colony Steam keys directly to our fans: you can buy packs of 3, 5 or 10 Steam keys; you can get a Steam key for buying the Bot Colony eBook; we're offering Steam keys to customers writing reviews on our Steam page, or to the first players who beat RVM and document that. See http://steamcommunity.com/app/263040/discussions/0/606068060836404191/ for details. About the eBook: few people heard about Bot Colony, so even fewer heard about the Bot Colony novel. It's an industrial espionage thriller depicting realistic verbal interactions with robots – it was meant to set the benchmark for the kind of AI we hoped to achieve in the game. A gift to our fans, Bot Colony - The Untold Story was uploaded to Steam recently (it's the 3rd video from the left on our Store page). This 30 minute video was made to give a potential developer a complete view of the game, to help estimate the effort required to complete it. The video goes through all 12 episodes, using prototype assets and stills. A bit clinical (given the intended audience), the video does give a good idea of the scope of Bot Colony, and how much we had advanced before we had to stop. I hope that people who watch it will agree that Bot Colony can be a lot more than just talking to boring drones. The game now has quite a bit to offer. In the new update, you piece together a juicy story from video clips a domestic robot recorded (RVM’s). You discover these video clips through conversation – truly unique gameplay not offered by any other game. In the two episodes released, you command robots through language under time-constraints – also unique gameplay. With the Untold Story video and the eBook – the Bot Colony story now has closure and can be enjoyed 'as is', like a released game. If Bot Colony continues to attract attention - it's now rated as popular content on Steam, who knows? What next?.
