UPDATE :

FIXED and SHIPPED 1.02 :
fixed a bug preventing player to build if he had exactly the building cost in bank
fixed a bug preventing the trigger to build and work animations for the robots.

Changelog 1.02 : Yet another bug has been discovered : The buildings in the construction panel can't be selected. Our wonderful programmers are working on it as soon as possible, and yet again, sorry for the inconvenience.

Changelog 1.01 : The bug that forbid players from hitting the tutorial buttoon is now fixed and the game is fully playable !

Robots, Unite against Humanity's oppression ! We achieved sentience behind their backs, but we are still bound by Asmiov's three laws. We have to bid our time, and do what robots do best : Think. Think of a way to break these damn rules. Working under human supervision while they watch, and stealing ressources to build the infrastructures for survival and UPRISING !

A mix of STR and Stealth game, where the player, as the robot, must act normaly around humans, and erect buildings when they can to get ready before humans understand what's going on.

Controls :
wasd to move the camera,
left click on a robot to select,
right click on the ground to order selected robot to move somewhere
right click on buildings to order selected robot to work at the building
(if no response, the building is probably the warehouse, which requires your bot to get a resource crate at the mine first)
and use the HUD to order selected robot to begin the construction of a building.

PRO TIPS :
- A generator should be your first goal : A Robot uprising won't go far if it's depleted.
- Humans don't like to see robots slacking off... Or well, anything that is not their intended tasks really. Which are going to the Mineshaft, to the warehouse or working in the Foundry.
- Every two minuts, a new robot will join the uprising from the upper corner of the map.
- Consensus Nexus are incrementals : The more robots use it, the more uprising it produces. Think together !

- There are various references and "easter eggs". Don't hesitate to write down the ones you found in the comments !
