MM8BDM Discussion / Re: MM8BDM V6 - Development begins!
« on: September 05, 2019, 08:56:18 PM »
Good evening. Thank you once again for tuning into Channel 7 News. This is Jonathan Metro, live with any new information we get regarding the dangerous Roboenza Outbreak. Our team has been hard at work since our last broadcast getting whatever information we can on both the outbreak, the robots, and Light Labs efforts in stopping the mysterious virus.
This time, our team noticed a number of robots gathering in a much... chillier location. We took extra precaution to not only avoid the wrath of these infected robots, but to stay warm. Thankfully, our efforts have paid off and we have some new photographs to share.
Naturally, the infected robots holding up in this arctic base are lead by none other than the Robot Master, Chill Man. While I would normally remind you viewers at home to stay away from these robots at all costs, I imagine the cold weather would keep you at home safe and warm.
Whether it's braving the cold landscape outside, or diving into the arctic warehouses indoors, these infected robots are ready for a fight! Of course, there are patches of ice about, which we all know can turn any fight into a slippery one, even for robots.
How fascinating, there also seem to be a number of ice blocks around the arena. Some blocking off a path while others potentially provide cover for shots. From the looks of things, these blocks do seem rather fragile and look as if they will shatter with little pressure... It would be best for anyone to use these blocks to their advantage.
We are not done there, folks. Light Labs has been kind enough to give us some new information on what they have been working on!
The Exit Unit is an important item that I'm sure most of our viewers at home are familiar with. But for those who aren't aware, it's an item that will teleport you to a random location on any given arena, essentially acting as a quick escape... granted that you don't teleport in the same area you just left. I do wonder what Dr. Light could have possibly changed about this rather simple item.
Hmm, what's this?
Would you look at that! It appears that after picking up the Exit Unit, the holder of the item can see a simple hologram standing in place. Light Labs was kind enough to explain that Exit Unit no longer teleports you to a random location on an arena. Instead, it will take you to the same location that you spawned in from! Of course, Light Labs realized it might not be easy to remember where you spawned in at any given moment, so the hologram marks the spot so the user will know for sure where they will end up!
Perhaps this new element to a simple item will not only avoid situations where you would appear in the same spot as before, but even perhaps add a level of strategy to the mix...
But that isn't all the news for tonight, folks. Light Labs was also kind enough to reveal to us a classic item, reworked for the arena environment. Here, take a quick look.
I can hardly believe it! Item-3 finally joins the ranks of Item-1 and Item-2! Upon picking it up, you get two uses of Item-3, although it works a little differently than the other items. You can't activate it anywhere you want like many other items, but it only activates when you use it against a wall. When you do, Item-3 will spawn directly under you and carry you up the wall and stop at either the top, or the nearest ledge.
Thankfully, Light Labs also provided us with a short clip showing this new item in action!
That is all the time we have for today. Thank you for tuning into Channel 7 News, and stay safe.
