addedWith new speech recognition technology, Achievements, NLU improvements and more content in Arrival – this major upgrade is a real ‘game changer’. Even if you’ve played Bot Colony before – it's worth playing it again. You'll find it plays very differently - it’s a totally new, smoother, more immersive experience!
changedWe’ve integrated the Microsoft Cognitive Services speech API. No more speech training! Click Enter, start speaking, and click Enter again when you finish speaking. Check the text as it takes shape in the text box – you’ll find that much less editing is required. This upgrade is only available for Windows 8 and Windows 10 ( because Windows 7 doesn’t support websockets which is required by the cloud-based speech recognition, sorry!). More background here http://steamcommunity.com/games/263040/announcements/detail/2171147026184566319 - there's also a Microsoft-approved press release on this Monday morning.
addedThe game understands references to objects much better. You can now click on an object before you issue a robot command to put it in context.
changedhttp://botcolony.com/media.php was redesigned to chronicle the game’s evolution. If you enjoy the game, please review it on the Bot Colony store page. PLEASE HELP! We need to get over 50 reviews to be more visible in searches. Please Recommend Bot Colony to help us bring you more cool features :)
