Robotoki to use CryEngine to develop Human Element

Robotoki Chooses CryEngine for Human Element

Crytek today announced a CryEngine licensing deal with independent game studio, Robotoki, who will use the state-of-the-art development tool to create a new game for PC and consoles.

Based in Los Angeles, Robotoki was founded by Robert Bowling, the former lead of Infinity Ward and Creative Strategist of the Call of Duty franchise. The studio is working on the innovative open-world survival game Human Element, which challenges players to rebuild society in the aftermath 35 years after a zombie apocalypse and adapt as the world evolves based on their actions.

"The ambitious narrative and gameplay of Human Element required an innovative set of features in order to achieve our vision.” remarked Bowling, Robotoki's President and Creative Director. "CryEngine is the perfect fit for us because it delivers so many powerful features straight out of the box such as the physical based shading system and the infinite terrain from segmented worlds to create a massive open world experience but still allow the visual fidelity and detail our players expect from a first person experience from our team."

Carl Jones, Business Development Director at Crytek, welcomed the partnership: "The team at Robotoki have earned countless plaudits in the games industry, and their talent is obvious from the amazing work we've seen them producing with CryEngine already. We look forward to offering them the same high level of support we promise to all CryEngine licensees as they work to turn their ideas into a reality."

Human Element is scheduled for release in late 2015. For more information on the game and Robotoki, visit robotoki.com.

Human Element is no longer a F2P game, new publisher to be announced next month



Robotoki pays a price for abandoning F2P in favor of premium dev

L.A.-based indie studio Robotoki has decided to abandon the free-to-play design of its upcoming debut title Human Element and now plans to release the game as a premium product in November 2015.

As a consequence, the studio agreed to end its publishing agreement with free-to-play giant Nexon and has laid off a portion of its staff.

"As the game evolved we realized that the elements that make Human Element the most fun would be hindered by keeping it a free-to-play experience," wrote Robotoki founder Robert Bowling in an email to Gamasutra.

"Therefore, we made the decision to switch to a premium experience for our players; which also meant that working with the premier publisher in free-to-play was no longer the best partnership fit for the game we were creating."

A former Infinity Ward employee, Bowling founded Robotoki in 2012 after resigning from his position as creative strategist for the Call of Duty franchise. Nexon made a strategic investment in the studio in 2013, then agreed to publish Human Element earlier this year.

"Nexon and Robotoki have come to a mutual decision to end their publishing agreement for the game Human Element," stated a Nexon America representative. "As development of the project progressed the direction of the game naturally evolved, and it no longer aligns with the Nexon portfolio."

Bowling says Robotoki has already found a new publisher for Human Element and expects to formally announce the partnership next month.

Robert Bowling’s Robotoki Studio Closes, Human Element on Hold

   

So Long And Thanks For All The Shoes

On April 9th, 2012 I left my highly paid, highly successful career as Creative Strategist of the Call of Duty franchise at Infinity Ward. A role I started a decade earlier after making the decision that I would settle for nothing less than doing what I loved.

My entire time there, I was in love with my job. I loved our fans, I loved our games, and I loved the team I was working alongside. Once we finished the Modern Warfare trilogy, I felt it was time to move on, to try my hand at independent game development and try to make something different.

Over the last two years, we made a lot of different.

We were actively negotiating a publishing deal for the premium version of Human Element but unfortunately I am unable to continue to self-fund the studio until that deal finalizes.

I want to thank every single person who supported us along this journey. It was an experience of a lifetime, and we learned a lifetime of experience.

I will never forget the friends we made, the experiences we created, and the lessons we learned.

The women and men who make the games you love are risking everything, and its worth it.

Support indie development, play experimental games, and continue to do what you love to do.
