Petscii Robots for Atari now available.
I'm about 50% done with the video discussing the challenges of this port. I expect you guys will like that. But for the moment, I'm opening up the order books for the game. Digital downloads available immediately. Boxed copies will start shipping in 2-3 weeks.

Damn I wish I still had my atari 400.
I only have a 400 with the stock amount of RAM. I have a kit for upgrading the memory to 48kB, but I wonder if there are other limitations.
I should think it would work. But keep in mind this game is played on the keyboard or an SNES adapter. So the keyboard on the 400 would be miserable.
Your game development videos are just awesome, I just re-watched all the Planet X³ videos, because it is so interesting,
I think with time we will see ports to every 6502 system under the sun, which is a good thing by the way. <3 [imagine this strikeouted, patreon won't let me do it]To ship a more obscure one, Yugoslavians Galaksija next? :D[/imagine this strikeouted, patreon won't let me do it] Disregard that, i really thought the Galaksija had a 6502 clone. o.o
I'm looking forward to the Kim-1 compatible version. :D
It's been awesome, being able to follow the progress of this game and how you covered it in your videos. Great work on the game itself, but outstanding transparency and expectation management as well. I hope you take enough time to reflect on this and be proud of yourself!
Yes, indeed! Petscii Robots is one of my proudest achievements!
Can’t wait.
@Jon it'll also work on original hardware if you the means to put it on a floppy; load an sd card with an sd card loader; etc.
How's the IIGS version coming along?
It seems to be stalled at the moment. The guy that was working on it said he was taking a break. Not sure how long that will be.
So is this for the original Atari or the VCS that came out last year? I would be interested in a VCS version.
Atari 8-bit computers. Description says: "Tested to work on the 800, 800XL, 1200XL, 130XE, and XEGS."
