This game looks absolutely awesome!

Rawbots is a robot crafting sandbox game where you can play with amazing robots, designed, built and programmed by you. A sophisticated robotics framework designed from the ground up to be a fun immersive experience accessible to the modern gamer.

The Rawbots universe has a unique set of matter, energy and physics laws. These laws are engineered to serve fun emergent gameplay that is different every time you play. Everything you would expect from a sandbox game and more. We are taking this to the next level. Gameplay that truly emerges beyond imagination and defined contextually by the type of robots you build.

Everything is a robot, doors, roads, walls, bridges, safes, traps, turrets, surveillance systems, etc. Build forts, towers and architect impressive structures to protect your planets and resources. You may play solo or with friends to infiltrate, conquer planets and gather resources.

Nintendo Enthusiast posted today that a Wii U version was coming, and now the kickstarter page has been updated with the Wii U logo.

From Alex Rozgo. Aiming for $300k with 32 days to go, seemingly being considered for PS4, Android and iOS as well? (shows their logos unhighlighted)

Edit: Yes to the other platforms, seems Mobile is at $350k, and PS4 at $440k (why another $140k for PS4?).

So... Cubix: Robots for Everyone?

finally. an announcement for a 3rd party release on the wii u.

MoeB · May 1, 2013

i'm all for kickstarters but does this game merit two separate threads?

Ha, that was fast. Yes! Wii are going to U!! We were preparing a nice juicy update for this. And no stretch goal needed, we will make it with the base goal.

And Menashe (the writer of the article) has told me that he is trying to convince them to show a image of it running on Wii U.

OK that trailer was pretty fucking awesome.

Oh really? Didn't see it.

Edit: 2 minutes after, I took about that long to make it so it's understandable, should've did a last sec check.

Huh?

These indie projects tend to have Wii U versions announced with at least a stretch goal. This has been happening since their online platform was detailed.

Looks really cool too.

A Sentient Keyboard · May 1, 2013

Sounds a bit like Robot Club.

Anyway, I'm keeping my eye on it.

KillerTravis · May 1, 2013

300K is a lot. Probably not going to reach it without really good publicity.

Indie games getting a Wii U release is rare?

MrCunningham · May 1, 2013

Spiritual successor to RoboPit?

Oops, I missed the part where it says "sandbox game". So not really like Robopit then.

Oh wow, I totally forgot that existed... I was just about the only kid I knew who watched that.

Anyway, game looks okay I guess. Nice to see another indie game release on the Wii U.

IceDoesntHelp · May 2, 2013

I SEE IT NOW!

Anyway looks rather exciting.

Takao · May 2, 2013

This game won't have a PS4 version, and I doubt it'll be funded. The Kickstarters bringing in that kind of money are usually from industry veterans, or are tied to hot-topic issues.

bequietdrive · May 2, 2013

The new wave of Wii U indie titles has begun! Hopefully they'll continue to pick up steam ..(pun intended)

syko de4d · May 2, 2013

300k for a game like this? I cant imagine this will get funded but i wish them luck, maybe they will surprise me

edit: hey Oculus Rift Support is the first stretch goal, now i hope a little it will get funded ^^

frankie_baby · May 2, 2013

looks great but no way will this get funded, whatever possessed them to ask for that much money?
