addedSome players reported difficulties with commanding robots. Our goal is to make the interface intuitive, and get the robots to understand (legitimate) commands or queries that you say in your own words. We’re happy to bring you new functionality going in this direction, best illustrated through this example: - Go to the table. -> Jimmy goes to the dining room table. ( You click on a chair ) - Pick up this chair. -> Jimmy picks up the chair. ( You click on the carpet in the living room ) - Go here. ('Come here' also works) -> Jimmy goes to the carpet. ( You click on the carpet in the living room ) - Put the chair here. -> Jimmy puts the chair on the carpet. - Pick up the vase. -> Jimmy picks up the vase. ( You click on the side table. ) - Go to this table. -> Jimmy goes to the side table. - Put the vase there. -> Jimmy puts the vase on the side table.
fixedBUG FIXESWe fixed the bug of the game hanging on Waking Up the Robots.
fixedBUG FIXESThere was a bug that New Game would not erase videos seen or objects placed for which you got an achievement, so if you got the achievement it was hard to replay from scratch. Fixed.
fixedBUG FIXESThere were billing issues with the Microsoft Cognitive Speech Recognition (CRIS.AI) that resulted in service interruptions. We worked with Microsoft, who were very helpful, to address these issues. If at any time you have a doubt whether Cognitive speech recognition works (only available on Win10), try it at https://azure.microsoft.com/en-ca/services/cognitive-services/speech/ If it works there DIFFERENTLY from how it works in Bot Colony, it's because the service is down.
fixedBUG FIXESTo help prevent the UI text box crash that could occur when using Cognitive Services, the user is now prevented from typing while the speech engine is still in the middle of recognizing and producing partial results.
fixedBUG FIXESReminder: the quick reference guide on the Store page of Bot Colony http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/263040/manuals/Robot_Questions_and_Commands_Guide.pdf?t=1499898569 is the most up to date resource on robot commands, questions, etc in Bot Colony. This is also the first (PINNED) topic under Discussions.
