Roboquest is a crazy fast FPS Roguelite that places an emphasis on inventive gunplay action and precise movements. A cell-shaded comic-style shooter with blazing gameplay, single and co-op action, and a futuristic story.
RyseUp Studios decided early on that they wanted to use an Open Development process. They wanted to create a game that there fans wanted. The Studio released an alpha version of a few levels from the game and continuous updates. The community provided thoughts, feedback, and suggestions. RyseUp took that information into consideration and quickly iterate on concepts and features. And the cycle continues.
RyseUp are a small team. The talented team do not have the megabucks to throw money at problems. But what they do have is a passionate creative agency on there side, Waste Creative, who have been involved in the process from the very beginning helping the team to be smart about marketing decisions. So Open Development has allowed RyseUp Studios to test features, gain valuable feedback, and either build on features fans like or get rid of ones they do not like.
The talented small studio started Open Development in August of 2020 and it was during this time they received a wonderful message from the folks at Xbox saying they liked the game and wanted to talk.
WHAT IS ROBOQUEST EXACTLY?
Well, the year is 2700. Climate change and wars have changed the face of the world that we currently know. Humans live scattered throughout the desert, struggling to survive.
A young scavenger girl named Max stumbles across an old Guardian robot, lying abandoned in the sand. She activates him, knowing that possession of a Guardian will give her an advantage at surviving.
Turning on the old Guardian kicks off a dangerous journey that will take the unlikely pair from dangerous canyons to vast cities searching for answers to mysteries that may save humankind.
It will be difficult. Badbots and their bosses will stop at nothing to protect the secrets that could decide the fate of humankind.
