R.C. Bot Inc.

R.C. Bot Inc. is a physics-based game about recovering high-energy Iridium targets across remote islands. You hire the R-Team, take them to distant locations by airship and send your recovery bot to retrieve the targets. You can fight, collect or catch them while swinging, flying, driving and shooting.

Physics-based machines

Gameplay uses Nvidia PhysX interactions, including forces, impulses and joint motors, rather than animation or scripting. You control each of the bot’s limbs independently, and the physics-based damage system means falls can cost it a leg. The environment also reacts to your machines: trees, branches, rocks and other objects respond to their movements.

Helper systems include gyroscopic stabilization for flight, automatic carrier loading and catapult loading. You can use your drone to create new camera perspectives. The bot can also travel into space, where up can be down.

Islands and targets

The game includes 32 islands across eight landscape themes, from high-canopy forests and African Redlands to Space Training Facilities. You earn reward money by recovering Iridium targets, then spend it to upgrade your bot and unlock new islands.

Manage your bot

Your bot runs on solar power, and its thrusters, cannon and toys drain its battery. Watch the shadows and the day-night cycle as you work. You can customize the bot with different shapes and materials to affect its physics behavior.

Included example game

The download includes a fully documented, physics-based example Katamari game made in Unreal Engine 4. It demonstrates how graphics, menus, gameplay and the underlying cable work are implemented.
