We’ve missed a couple updates & news, including the following:
Comet: first legendary bot, winner of the Community Bot contest!
QuarterBuck: a new (Arena Master)[/arena] is in town!
FeatherWeight: “Participate in our new event, the Community Bot Event! For the first time ever in Botworld Adventure, the community will partake in creating a new bot. To participate, you can send your bot’s concept art & ability suggestions on your own or you can team up with a fellow player where one of you can focus on creating the concept art and the other can work on ability suggestions.
Each winner or winners will receive 1,000 Gems. You will also be the first to receive the bot and have a choice in selecting a design from the options we provide you that are similar to your concept.”
We, Beat Burger & Friends, are most excited to present to you the brand new and shiny: Botworld Adventure community Wiki
It’s been a project running strong for the last 10 days or so, and today we believe it is ready enough to present it to you! It is ready, but far from complete! Many (most?) of the pages are shadows of what we want them to be, created as placeholder so we can fill them up together over the weeks to come.
We have some very nice and rich ones already though!
We very much hope you like it, where it can go, and hopefully send us some stuff that you noticed is still missing and you have the info.
