It's been quite some time since I first made the source code to A Robot Named Fight! available to the public, but it's finally bore fruit! Discord user Ettokun has created a mod for the game that enables online co-op! You can find out everything about it here: https://github.com/Renevark/arnf-netcoop/releases To be perfectly clear, this isn't just orb co-op, but full, two Fights, online co-op. Ettokun has release multiple patches and improvements since making the mod available to the public several days ago. To stay in the loop, join the MGS discord here: https://discord.gg/fj7zqJvzm

This patch fixes a potential security issue in the Unity Engine. The exploit could allow a bad actor to run code locally using command line arguments. I'm fairly certain Steam has it's own protections against this, but better safe than sorry. As far as I know, no one has actually exploited this, nor is it possible on Switch.

September 7 marks THREE YEARS since I first launched A Robot Named Fight! on Steam. Since then, the game has more than doubled in size and scope through the release of 20 FREE updates. Version 1.6.0.32 is the 21st update and has a lot to offer players, new and old. (It's affectionately known as the "Girthy Update" among the ARNF Discord community.) None of this would be possible without the continuing support of all ARNF players, especially my Discord community members and supporters on Patreon. It's extraordinary for a solo developer to be able to release free content for THREE YEARS, and I c

We’ve not talked much about A Robot Named Fight here before, and that’s a shame, because it is a personal favourite. Developed by Matt Bitner, imagine Super Metroid hideously fused to The Binding Of Isaac. It generates short-ish (a couple hours long if you survive to the end) Metroidvania adventures, giving you a different set of abilities and weapons each time round, which will be needed to unlock more areas and explore further. It’s also full of horrible meat-monsters, weird robot gods, and it just got a huge expand-o-patch today, and a discount. See a trailer and some more
