A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

My next big game is getting closer to its release. But for now, here is the free demo: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44100273/296b1eede19c43ece788cbac2227ebae1daf8d53.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44100273/bdbff9be60af6ccfabfea68195f423bec9aed096.gif
The player named S266 blasted through the leaderboard! For a long time, the Steam platform held all of the top places, but not anymore. https://roboden-game.github.io/leaderboard/?mode=blitz#S266 https://roboden-game.github.io/leaderboard/?mode=arena#S266 https://roboden-game.github.io/leaderboard/?mode=inf_arena#S266 An itch.io platform conquers 3/5 modes! This means the competition is on again. Can you capture the flag?
This update is focused on a better new player onboarding experience. Important tooltips now give you much more information. For example, try hovering on any priority icon or on a faction (color) distribution bar. The updated tutorial utilizes that. Instead of giving you several messages about these priorities, it only mentions the option to hover over them to learn yourself if you want to. Some other tutorial content changes follow this principles: less text messages, more contextual hints. The tutorial difficulty was re-adjusted. It's both easier and harder now. On one hand, you get a stronge
Dear gamers. Game development has been my hobby for many years now. Roboden is my first serious release, and it's definitely the first game to reach Steam. I always had some other full-time job to support my hobby. This is going to change as I'm now going full-on indie game development. I want to create new games and see how it goes. In turn, it means that I need to learn how to make money by creating games. I will start by making Roboden a paid game so I can learn some basic stuff. Maybe it can also give me enough money for a cup of coffee per month, who knows. Note that if you already have a
How about a free (and open source) game to add to your library? Roboden is an asymmetrical indirect control real-time strategy game about robot colonies and it's now Steam Deck Verified.

This update brings the game to the Verified (green) Steam Deck status. While it doesn't sound too involving to adjust the game for the Steam Deck, you can check out the recent code changes in the game to see that it wasn't a breeze. Change logs Steam Deck Compat Added gamepad in-menu navigation (D-pad and left stick) Added a "larger fonts" option that enables ~x1.3 font scaling (enabled by default on Steam Deck) Accessibility: Stats & Progress profile screens now use a larger base font Accessibility: credits is now a multi-page screen to fit a larger font Accessibility: made text panels backgr

Here is a short overview: A new biome: snowy tundra A new colony: an immobile fortress called Hive A new turret: a resource gathering point - Refinery A new turret: a powerful AoE attack laser that requires an active crew A new weather toggle (works for a snowy tundra right now) A new special seed for Arena mode (see Infernal achievement) New achievements Several quality-of-life changes Balance tweaks Now let's get down t
This minor update implements a couple of suggestions given in the Steam reviews. By default, a pause disables the fast-forward mode. You can now disable this behavior in gameplay options. The second improvement is more significant. You can now save/load your drone builds, world, and difficulty settings using schemas. Every game mode has a separate schemas sheet with 10 slots per each.
This update has two sides: It makes the game better, like any other update would It enables Android platforms You can find a detailed changes list at the bottom of this post. The biggest one is probably a new mode called Blitz. As the name suggests, it's a faster-paced mode. This mode is also competitive, you can send your high scores to claim the best spots on the currently vacant leaderboard. As you might already know, we have a cross-platform online leaderboard. Steam and itchio were the only "clans" available so far. This is not the case anymore as Android enters that fray. Let's see wheth
This is a non-content update that will bring you some new experiences nonetheless! I was working on better web and mobile ports of the game recently. After a couple of weeks, I managed to make new versions of Roboden run smoothly in the browser. You might be wondering: how does it concern you, a fellow Steam gamer? Well, I came up with an idea: a combined leaderboard that will highlight the player platform. And to make it more fun, let's call these platforms clans. So, every Steam game (Steam Deck included!) represents a Steam clan. This is the first and the most powerful clan right now, but t
This update brings a new map shapes to the table. Previously, you could only play on a square map. But not anymore: rectangle-shaped maps can now be used in any game mode. There is also a new capturable relict object: battle platform. If you repair it, it will follow your colony. Its weapons are more effective against the flying targets. New content: Horizontal and vertical map shapes (a new world setting) "Into the Darkness" achievement Battle platform relict Screen filter option (please use with caution) Fixes: Improved performance when restarting level a lot Several balance changes to the R
Hi! You might not know about it, but Roboden was initially created as a prototype for a ~2 week game jam that was hosted on itch io. You can still find the game on itch.io and play the online demo; although I really need to re-upload it so that the browser version is in sync with a Steam release. I enjoyed the results and wanted to give Roboden a chance to see the world. Ludum Dare is a more classic & hardcode game jam. You have to create a game from scratch in just 2 days! Many cool games start as a prototype for some game jam; my favorite example is Baba Is You. The Ludum Dare 54 was my firs
If your score was submitted, but never appeared in the leaderboard, don't worry! I have the replays on the server as well as the error logs. I'll investigate the issue and re-run the simulations to add these scores to the board. You can continue sending the scores, no progress will be lost. Estimated time of the fix: tomorrow (24 of September). No game updates will follow as it is a server-side issue. :)
I'm back with another game update! This update brings a new feature that was requested several times: the dynamic game speed toggle. Press to enter the double-speed mode, and press it again to return to the normal mode. This feature helps you to pace the game in a way you want to experience it. Another big change is focused on the Reverse game mode. Dreadnought gets a new unit: Coordinator. These new units have many purposes: Keep them around the Dreadnought for protection Use them as a diversion group to keep the pressure on your opponent Rally your other units through them Gold versions of C
Are your robots ready to conquer the Inferno? This update includes some major new content. The new Inferno environment is the most dangerous biome to this point. The searing geysers, spitting lava, and lack of oil resources make it very unfriendly. But with high risks, there is also a high reward. New sulfur and volcanic rock resources can be found there. https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/2416030/ss_663baf7db6366785033e7aa6e85d7b03a6bc057e.1920x1080.jpg?t=1693660069 Bastion is a new colony design.
