Hi everybody! OBEY's first post-release update is ready! Some of you may not know that OBEY 1.0 has been tracking many of your gameplay stats! Yes, your subversions, your epic wins, and your terrible terrible backstabbing corpse deliveries among many other things: Some on my screenshot here are '0', these will be properly tracked from the current release forward. The main menu screen will have…
Hi Everyone! We’re nearly there! Just one week from now, OBEY will hit 1.0 and officially launch out of Early Access! Looking at the current steam page, it says that OBEY came onto Steam Early Access May 21, 2015 . Fully FIVE years ago!! It's been a long road (and consider I had been coding it full time for a year prior to that to get it to the Early Access stage). A massive thank you to everyo…
Hi Everyone! Big announcement day – OBEY is launching fully out of Early Access next month! I’ll have an exact date for everyone soon. For now, the game has received its final update in Early Access before the last one that will bring the build to 1.0 – nearly five years after its initial launch on Steam, OBEY will be completed and available as a fully finished product. Alongside the update and…
Hi Everyone! ːhappybunnyː I hope you are all staying safe and healthy from the Coronavirus! (Although, I am fairly sure I have it. Seriously.) Anyway, that just means having a cough and staying isolated for me, and more updates for YOU! (if you are worried, I'm alright: so far cough/sore throat/some crap in my chest have been very minor, and am otherwise in excellent health) So right now I am v…
The newest version of OBEY is RELEASED! v.46 Tournaments! Auto-tournaments have been added! These will now run weekly and monthly on official servers. Placing 1st-3rd in these tournaments earns permanent trophies. Trophies are markings that show next to your name in all future matches! Winning 1st in the monthly tournament will earn you a unique 1st place trophy! Running tournaments without tro…
Hi All!!! For those of you following OBEY today, thank you for sticking with me ːhappybunnyː Up until now, I have kept a low profile that I have begun full time dev on OBEY again. But now that you all know, I will say that it is with the intention to wrap up OBEY and finally put out version 1! For me personally, this is a big deal: I have had this project going on in some form in my life since…
OBEY 34% off sale for Easter Weekend! OBEY is on sale for under $10 through April 7th at 10:00am Pacific -- for those enjoying an extended holiday weekend, or in the middle of Spring Break, it's a great time to jump (back) in and run a few rounds with friends in a multiplayer experience unlike any other out there!
Something has been missing in OBEY: a viable way to win as a snitch ! Enter the watchtower! Watchtowers are a way that robo can reliably pay a snitch to stay put and watch for attackers. It simply drops the given autopay every 37 seconds. So now there is a way for a snitch to earn a reliable income, and possibly win if he plays his hand right. NOTE to newer players: Sometimes new players get fr…
Hi! Do you have friends that you always wanted to play OBEY with, but they just don't have the game? Well, now's the time! Tell them to grab it now, because it's only going to be on sale for a week!
To any old hands who don't know yet, jacksepticeye (a big youtuber) made an awesome video while playing OBEY. The servers are now filled with players! To all our new players: a big welcome! :happybunny: (Please do help each other learn as it is a known issue that the tutorial is not adequate.) If you need help or find bugs, please do post in the forums: I read all posts. The wiki also has a ton…
Hey everybody :happybunny: !! So some big updates are just in! Both the dropship code and the way sounds are handled in OBEY have been largely rewritten: The main dropship change is that it no longer relies on the 30 second mark. IT CAN NOW LITERALLY BE CRASHED AT ANY TIME! Yes, it is even possible to crash it just before it lands as it hovers over the drop area (this is very difficult to do, t…
Hi Everybody! Just wanted to let you know that as of today, playing OBEY will now grant collectible OBEY Steam cards to your Inventory! Matching a set of OBEY cards can be used to craft OBEY badges, emoticons, and backgrounds. Creating them required the completion of 55 individual art assets :bunnywow: :warned: I made them all myself, just for YOU! check em out: enjoy :happybunny: -dez :cent:
Hi everybody, This is a small update with some bug fixes and improvements. The important fix was for the tutorial which was broken in the last build: - when there is no dropship, robo's dropship timer now shows a red 00:00 - drop zone now has directional indicator in robo GUI - feed box now has directional indicator in robo GUI - power plant now has directional indicator in robo GUI - robo now…
Hey everybody! As some of you may have noticed an update went out earlier today! The main changes include: - robo now starts with 2 rockets, and 2 fuel (beware double subverters!) - robo now has indicators to every collar in the map so they can see if there are collars out of view (robo also has indicators to sensors that go off outside the view) - Italian and Czech have been added to languages…
Many of you have noticed there has been a spate of updates this weekend! From a dev standpoint these versions 40/41 area big update with some exciting improvements added that I can already tell are making a difference for new players to ease into the game. Laser sentries are a new map element that can only be toggled on/off directly by robo. Hopefully map authors can use them in some interestin…
The latest patch notes are: v .39r0 · added /ban mod command. Mods can now ban players by typing /ban # · chat input now automatically hides the mod password as its being typed (so a mod can stream without revealing it) · the buttons 1,2,3 can now be used to swap inventory slots as well as prepare an empty slot for picking up something new · pressing 'drop' repeatedly will continue dropping ite…
You may notice an update that came in This one is mostly server side fixes to address various issues with the AI that were identified after stretching them out in the real world :) Here are the change notes: · Bots now sometimes announce when they are disobeying · implemented bot randomness, which can be set to make the bots very derpy or not · added ability to use Tiled rectangles named "safe"…
Hi Everyone! THE LAST BIG HURDLE BEFORE RELEASE HAS BEEN CROSSED! After 3 months of intense coding... I am happy to announce that the first version of OBEY with shippable AI is now in place! :D AI can use the robot, and a huge amount AI bugs have been fixed. There is still more to do, but (unless serious bugs are found) I will now be moving on to issues directly related to getting more players…
Hi Everyone! Some more bug fixes and AI improvements have been released today ^_^ Outside of AI, the main improvements are in-game hints and loading screen tips... trying to get OBEY as close to self-teaching as possible! ^_^ · fixed several bugs that could crash the server · fixed bug where sound ducking would sometimes not return to normal after incoming remote voice · fixed bug where ai bunn…
Hi Everyone! A new update is out! This is an update has some bug fixes but mainly has the bunny AI pretty close to what I think they will ship like. Robo AI is in too, but only in prototype form - it only looks around at key map points. Here are the patch notes: - bunny AI release candidate - prototype robo AI is in - fixed falling through floor bug, which had resurfaced after fixing hopping. -…
Hello!! :D So in this latest build, the bunny AI is more advanced... not complete but almost. AI still doesn't know how to use robo , and can sometimes not know what to do in certain situations, but it does seem to already allow for more interesting matches with only 3 or 2 human players. Let me know what you think of them so far :) Below is the complete changelist. v .37r3 · AI is much more ad…
This is a patch release that fixes some bugs and adds a couple of interesting tidbits and possible customizations while I focus on AI. Notable gameplay changes are the following: · You can now press 1,2,3 as a bunny to activate a particular item slot, enabling you to choose which slot will pick up your next item. The idea here is so you can better choose which side to carry that corpse on, and…
Hidy ho!! :D A new OBEY version is out! To MAP Authors: This new version includes a resolution change to the map tilesheet. What this means is that ALL MAPS MUST BE RESAVED AND UPDATED TO THE WORKSHOP for them to work with this and future builds. I did this to future proof the sheet and avoid changes to it as the game matures and more maps are added. (also you may note the new tilesheet graphic…
Hi everyone! As most of you know there have been many OBEY maps created by you and many map making tournaments, but all those maps are all sitting on people's hard drives and theres no way to know whether you have the latest version or easy way to get other people to try your map. Hence OBEY was always planned to have a lively workshop! :) The first version of the "OBEY Workshop Tool" is now av…
Hi Everyone, Please enjoy the new update... some improvements and a bunch of bug fixes. Map authors can now have maps begin with certain items. ..and added some tajazzle to the robot: Please do report bugs in the forum, or let me know! Thanks!! ^_^ - players killed by the power plant or sentries on a first subversion are now sent to the new dropship - you can now double click a server in the se…
So this is the very first version of OBEY that supports AI bunnies. They are very dumb and simple for now. They will be refined in the next coming weeks. NOTE: collar income has been increased from 6 to 10. The idea is to allow winning without using robo a bit more viable. Let's see what this does. Have fun! ^_^ v .35 r1 - fixed player display on server list - servers no longer report bots in t…
Hi everybody! Thanks to all the players and map makers who came to Friday's Bunny Madness, Saturday's Map Makers Unite Tournament, and Sunday's -b00t- Tournament.... what an awesome weekend!! :D So what's new? Well the main thing I have been working on and have been mostly quiet about is ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BUNNIES . A lot of people ask me how AI for OBEY would work? OBEY is a psychological…
Some fixes that address some issues found in the latest build. Thank you all for reporting! ^_^ v .34 r1 - fixed bug where pressing spacebar while typing would cause spectator to switch between dropship and robo - if all players leave a session, all 'ghost' stats will be reset and rejoining will result in a fresh 0 score. - if a player leaves (or is dropped or kicked) their score will reflect a…
