Nanobots

Scripting by Vince Twelve
Music by The Scorposer
Design, art, and writing by The Ivy

Groovy Greg, a fresh-faced robotics student, set out to make robots that could love. He designed six nanobots, each with one special skill that made it different from the others. His hard work and idealism paid off. Soon Hotbot, Tallbot, Brainbot, Audbot, Strongbot, and Chembot were ready to take on the world. Although they were completely useless on their own, if they worked together they could accomplish anything.


 
There was just one problem. The Nanobots hated each other.

Everything changes when a jealous professor attempts to sabotage Groovy Greg's work.

Can the Nanobots avoid coming face-to-fist with Professor Killfun? Only if they give peace a chance.



Thwart a sketchy professor.



Control all six bots for their special abilities.



Solve brightly-coloured puzzles.

ETA: June 27.

Edit: Looks like we've filled our quota for beta testers. Now the fun part begins.

It looks and sounds great.  Grin
The poncho, although a bit small, is a work of beauty.

There'll always be time to do this; I'll make time for it.Backgrounds: Not right now, too busyCharacter art: Not right now, too busyProof reading: Had A's and B's, plus my sister is an english teacher. I'm too busy at the moment to do this.Story design: Writting stories is my hobby, I'm too busy right now though.

But everyone calls me "ManiacMatt"

Voice acting: I am great! I love me.Story design: Just call me idea man! Or don't, actually. That would get annoying really.

Aww, these comments make me smile. Smiley

Crazy: Glad you recognized it as a poncho. Not everyone gets that he's not just wearing a weird (and admittedly small) shirt.

Indie Boy: Haha, I'm glad you think it has potential. Hey, if this writer's strike carries on, you never know. Wink

vertigoaddict, Radiant, Buckethead, Dualnames, and ManicMatt: Merci! You've definitely motivated me to keep working.

Thanks again everyone!

I dig the little robots. Very cute. Personally, I was hoping that poncho was some sort of futuristic shirt, so of like Zap Brannigan's uncomfortably short skirt on Futurama. Also like the Robotech pennant. Loved that show as a kid.

Looking forward to this one.

Wondering are the nanobots supposed to have unique skills so youhave to think how to use them to solve puzzles? Or I am wrong?

"Strongbot" is pretty self-explaintory.

Oooo! I remember reading about Nanobots some time ago here. A great ida, and I have all faith that it will be well done! Sounds a bit like an advanced take on Gobliiins, and that's high praise! Best of luck!

I thought it was a bib, but then I don't expect students to be able to manage simple things like putting loud, sweary, gum-flapping mouths without making a considerable mess.

As for the game itself, it does look quite swish, with cute characters.  The interface dealie also sounds interesting.  'Tis one of the rare games I'd actually consider playing.

It probably would make for a good TV show, too.

Play-testing: I love playing games. I'd love to play YOUR games. And I'll always give detailed and constructive feedback.Voice acting: Simpsons / Futurama-style, multiple-cartoon-voices a specialty (ask for my Zoidberg!), but I'll give anything a crack.Music (no further info specified)Proof reading: I have a BA in Eng Lit from Oxford University.

Ooh, I completely missed this topic the last couple of times I've visited the forum ...

Glad to see you're going public!  The new screenshots look very enticing, the GUI looks nice, simple and colourful, and the 'bots themselves look as adorable as ever.

Can't wait!  Wink

Random trivia note: "chem" is Egyptian for "black". Surprisingly, chembot is actually pink Smiley

So supposedly chembot makes black paint. Or causes explosions that blacken things.
