Roboom News

[h3]Greetings, all Visicons![/h3]

After many updates, many adventures and events, we have finally reached the end of 2024. This was an amazing year, which marked the early access release of Roboom, and the game has developed a long way thanks to all of your feedback, thanks to Roboom's wonderful community.



So, let us take a moment to see how Roboom's journey has been this year:

Congrats to all players who have been on the leaderboard!

[h2]January: Twitch Integration[/h2]
[h3]Note: Robo Designs in January and February are the old demo designs! [/h3]

At the beginning of the year, Robocons had neither a face nor any arms, but the war between Visicons and Oblicons was still in full motion.

Of course, you may seek fellow helpers in this fight: With the help of the Twitch Integration, you are now able to summon anyone to your help via the Twitch Chat!

[h2]February: HUB and Next Fest[/h2]

Then, in their fight against Oblivion, Visicons needed a place to gather. What could have been better than the Holistic Union Base, the HUB?

Furthermore, the Next Fest this month was truly one of the most important and exciting moments in Roboom's history. Our thanks go once again to countless many players who have dived into the Robocon Universe!

[h2]March: New Robos and Roboom Wiki[/h2]

Then, they evolved:


With many changes in the game, it was time to create a proper documentation for everything. Roboom thus joined the wiki.gg community, and we have created Roboom's Wiki:


[h2]April: Guns & Glory & Agents of Oblivion[/h2]

Sure, our Robo has arms. Why not make great use of it?


Attention though, you may now encounter Agents of Oblivion!


[h2]19 May Release! The 4th Boss Zarakon, Achievements, Weapons-Box, and many more... [/h2]

On May 19, Roboom finally released into Early Access. With this, a new phase in Roboom's journey began.

[h2]June: 🐠Can a fish make you rich?[/h2]



This is a question that we should all think about. Although the answer may seem close to a "no" in the Human Universe, the answer is ａｂｓｏｌｕｔｅｌｙ 𝔂𝓮𝓼 within the Robocon Universe.

[h2]August: Your Own Baby Drones[/h2]



Before this update, your little fellows, Baby Drones, were just random baby Visicons who came to help you. With this update, they have become much more: From 5 different Visicon classes, now you can adopt them, name them, raise them as you like!

[h2]September: Personalize Your Robo![/h2]

What's your favorite hat?



[h3]Kaizen: Continuous Improvement[/h3]

Before the release of co-op, The Kaizen Update was launched to generally improve many aspects of the game, from new enemies to new weapons. Continuous improvement is indeed the very spirit of Roboom, which shall continue in 2025 and beyond.

[h2]October: Co-op[/h2]
Roboom unites people


This might be the biggest update this year. Because you can now play Roboom with anyone from all over the world or locally! If you haven't yet, co-op is truly one of the most fun and meaningful ways to experience Roboom.

[h2]November: Squads[/h2]

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Squads were the logical continuation of having co-op scores: Now you can either join an existing squad or create your own, so that your co-op scores get saved and ranked!

[h2]December: Roboom's First Squad Contest[/h2]
The First Squad Contest during the Bullet Heaven Fest was amazing, many new players joined Roboom and we saw the creation of first squads:

Thanks to Roboom's wonderful community, we will march forwards on this journey towards building a game that is both exciting and meaningful. There are many new updates coming, improving and iterating upon already existing features (like the powerups, balance, HUB), bringing the remaining planned bosses and story.

🌟Roboom is also participating in the official Steam Couch Co-op Fest on 10-17 February, and many updates are coming along the way!

[h3]How To Join A Squad[/h3]

Simply clicking "Join" on a public squad would be enough. If the squad is private, then you can request to join, and the person who founded the squad can accept it.

Together with Co-op, we believe Roboom now has a solid foundation for the upcoming future. Nonetheless, Roboom will continue to get better with each update. Feel free to create your squad and invite every player you know! Your feedback is more than welcome as always.
