    Downloads

    • Windows: JANKENBOTS-win64.zip — unzip, run JANKENBOTS-Windows-x64/JANKENBOTS.exe.
    • macOS: JANKENBOTS-osx.zip — unzip JANKENBOTS.app. Unsigned: right-click -> Open -> Open, or xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine JANKENBOTS.app.
    • Linux: JANKENBOTS-linux64.zip — unzip, chmod +x JANKENBOTS-Linux-x64/JANKENBOTS.x86_64, run it.

    Controls

    • Host/Join: one clicks Host and shares the code; the other pastes it and Joins.
    • On foot: WASD move (camera-relative) · Mouse look · Scroll zoom · E claim a tread · V cycle camera · Esc frees cursor.
    • Driving (after you claim): you teleport to a stand and control your tread — W throttle · LShift plant-pivot · A/D lean · Q leave. Turning = you and your teammate differ your throttle (or plant a pivot). No reverse.

    New in 0.2.0

    • Rigged run-around player characters + on-foot → drive control handoff (claim a part = teleport to a stand, controls lock to your tread).
    • 150x150m junkyard arena walled with cargo containers.
    • Cinemachine camera system — 4 modes (avatar / robot / stand / cinematic), mouse-look + zoom.
    • Driving fixed: faster forward + actual steering (low-friction chassis + yaw-assist).

    Networked over Unity Relay — no port-forwarding. Rough prototype.

    M1 Playtest Build Pre-release

    megaproxy released this 2026-07-12 19:22:31 +00:00 | 8 commits to main since this release

    JANKENBOTS Milestone 1 — playtest build (updated: junkyard arena + player characters).

    You spawn as a rigged low-poly character and run around a walled junkyard arena. A shared janky bot (two treads) and a shove ball are in the arena too.

    Downloads

    • Windows: JANKENBOTS-win64.zip — unzip, run JANKENBOTS-Windows-x64/JANKENBOTS.exe.
    • macOS: JANKENBOTS-osx.zip — unzip to JANKENBOTS.app. Unsigned, so bypass Gatekeeper: right-click -> Open -> Open, or xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine JANKENBOTS.app.
    • Linux: JANKENBOTS-linux64.zip — unzip, then chmod +x JANKENBOTS-Linux-x64/JANKENBOTS.x86_64 and run it.

    How to play

    1. Host: one player clicks Host (top-left) and shares the join code.
      Join: the other pastes the code and clicks Join.
    2. You spawn as a character — WASD / arrows to run around the arena.
    3. The bot's two treads can be driven by claiming a seat (Claim button): W/Up throttle, Shift plant-pivot, A/D lean. (Heads-up: running and tread-driving currently share WASD — a work-in-progress; the finished flow separates them via player stands.)

    Networking is over Unity Relay — no port-forwarding needed. This is a rough prototype snapshot.
