  Hyperdome's future and Doborog's current projects

  Hello Humans!We've heard a lot of questions from you about the future of Clone Drone in the Hyperdome. We wish we could bring you better news.Unfortunately, we have to leave Hyperdome un-updated for the immediate future. The VR market is grim, especially for premium games with no monkeys in them, so we can’t afford to give Hyperdome much time at the moment. We are immensely proud of the game. We have fun ideas for updates we might circle back to, if market conditions improve. For now, we see Danger Zone and future projects as our best vehicles to deliver as much joy as we can to the largest number of players we can reach!We understand this will disappoint many of you. We feel the same way. Thank you immensely for your incredible Looprunner fan art, stories and gameplay videos! It took years of hard work to bring Hyperdome to life. Your excitement for our game made it all worthwhile.If you would like to know what we're working on in the future, you can read this blog post about Clone Drone in the Danger Zone updates, Danger Zone on mobile and Project Orca.Good luck in the Hyperdome!Team Doborog

  How does the Skyscrapper Commentator Dialogue System work?

  The Skyscrapper is the deadly new training tower for looprunners in Clone Drone in the Hyperdome, the centerpiece of our new free update. The diabolical infinity tower was built out of busted robot parts and assorted scrap from Crashloop, but on the development side, a brand new element helped make The Skyscrapper possible: a dynamic dialogue commentary system. In Danger Zone, Commentatron and Analysis-Bot speak fixed lines of dialogue at predetermined moments, but in The Skyscrapper, the robot commentators have thousands of lines of dialogue that play throughout the player’s climb at unexpected times for more immersive gameplay.We have two of our team who are excited to talk to you about the commentators!First is a video with Geoffrey, our Narrative Lead, talking about the story and how Commentatron and Analysis Bot are starring in The Skyscrapper!In the second interview with Ayla, our Lead Engineer, we discussed why she built a dialogue system from scratch and how it greatly expanded the functionality of everyone’s favorite human-hating robot broadcasters.How is this different from a normal dialogue system?For games with a traditional story mode, the code to decide which piece of dialogue to play at which moment is often relatively straightforward. Sometimes it’s as easy as setting up a trigger area to play a specific piece of dialogue when the player enters that location, or storing a list of dialogue IDs that should be played in sequence. There might be situations where the narrative branches, but that could be as simple as an “if else” check.With the Skyscrapper being an endless mode, we wanted to place the narrative focus on the player’s progression upwards through this infinite tower of robot carnage. We didn’t just want to respond to the player’s actions. We wanted to form narratives and miniature storylines about what the player was doing as they did it. And to do something like that, we needed an entirely new narrative engine. How do the commentators “see”...

  Patch 1.0.2.1: Cyclord, Two-Handed Weapons and more!

  Hello Humans!The millisecond after we sliced the ribbon on The Skyscrapper, we began obsessively reading your comments for things we could fix!!!We love and appreciate all the glowing feedback and amazing fan art you’ve sent us. Check out some of our recent faves after the Patch Notes.HOWEVER, we want Clone Drone in the Hyperdome to be the best. To be the best, you have to bash the bugs. So we grabbed a Captain Hammer and got bashing! You said the katana was wobbling too much when held with one hand. We agreed! So we reduced the weight of two-handed weapons to make them more fun to handle. You said Cyclord was the weakest looprunner. We agreed! Now his arrow storm is a true cyclone and his arrows fly faster than ever.You said you heard the same lines of dialogue repeatedly when picking up weapons in The Skyscrapper. We agreed! So we put more words into the commentators’ metal mouths.What do you think? Do you like the feel of two handed weapons now? Are they the right weight? Have you dueled the new and improved Cyclord? Was it a breeze or a hard-fought battle? Are there any other bugs or glitches that frustrate you? Leave a comment! We hear you. Patch Notes:Buffed Cyclord. Cyclord now spawns more arrows and they fly faster.Improved Two-Handed Weapons. Reduced the weight of two-handed weapons like the katana, so they don’t wobble as much when used in one hand.Added Dialogue. Increased the number of lines for the commentators in The Skyscrapper for picking up weapons.New Turbofist Upgrade. Changed the Air Fist x Arm Extension Fist turbofist upgrade to “Blowback,” which pushes both the player and enemies back.Assorted Bug Fixes.Community Fan ArtPhantoma resurrects to tell us something important Hic shares exactly what he thinks of Blink's punch ability!https://www.reddit.com/r/CloneDrone/comments/1mmsc5t/hyperdome_edition/ PT is drawing bots from memory in our discord, this MX2 is amazing!
