Ooof. Bad News: Robot Gentrification is a thing in the future.
More Bad News: They focus on function, not form.

Good News: Platforms are useful to hide from police bots!

Smuggler robot in SABOTAGE game stares up at some new robot buildings that have sprung up in the city. Shall we say INFESTED? Yes, let's say that! These buggers are everywhere! SABOTAGE is still in prototype or greybox explorations, but the buildings are big, black & white cubes with carbon mesh elements, large circular elements in the corners. A big satellite dish is mounted on top of one of the cube buildings. The robot is has a kind of human-ish torso: head, body and 2 arms, but the lower half is a single tire+wheel combo. Game UI is shown in the screenshot as well: pause, coin balance, level, energy, timer, controls for Jump & Boost. The SABOTAGE logo is visible in upper right corner.

Yo-ho, Yo-ho, a Smuggler’s Run for me!

Recovery artist? Don’t ask questions. People need stuff, you deliver it. The gig pays well. Some gigs... trickier than others. 👀

Stumble on something interesting: add it to your collection*!

Screenshot of action in the game "SABOTAGE" A delivery robot (player character) has a painting on their back and surveys a busy street ahead, planning their route through traffic. That painting looks a lot like the Mona Lisa. Best not to ask questions though. This is a typical day in the life of a smuggler robot. NPC delivery bot vehicles are coming toward and driving away as they shuttle delivery boxes. The visuals are all prototype. Models are basic & placeholder; simpler shapes, basic colors and placeholder textures. The game UI is visible: pause, coin balance, level, energy, timer, controls for Jump & Boost. The SABOTAGE logo is visible in the upper right corner. Our prototype is in playtest now and focus is on tuning fun and getting feedback while we work on visual development / explorations in parallel, in the background. Sabotage Discord server is here: https://discord.gg/hNk4b8GzvR Sabotage Playtest is open - including friend invites - on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2939300/Sabotage?utm_source=bsky

A non-traditional side view of gameplay in Sabotage. Instead of standard 3rd person, over the shoulder, we have a side view of our single-wheeled robot smuggler racing across a bridge, hauling a super simple delivery: an upright piano. Sparks fly from the robot's wheel. A boost pad is visible on the ground, with some sparkling VFX rising up from the acceleration point. Game UI is visible on screen, with a timer and the purple SABOTAGE logo in the upper right corner.

Screenshot of action in the game "SABOTAGE" A delivery robot (player character) has an armored style case on their back and sparks fly from the single tire / wheel of the robot as they lean in to the acceleration across a bridge and prep to run the gauntlet of authoritarian police bots directly ahead. This is a typical day in the life of a smuggler robot. Yellow speed boost pads glow on the surface of the road, with some magic turbo sparkle vfx floating above. The visuals are all prototype placeholder models; simpler shapes, basic colors and placeholder textures. The game UI is visible: pause, coin balance, level, energy, timer, controls for Jump & Boost.

“SIM-BOT, you are the King of all you survey…”

Cue the music!

Behold, The Gym...a super-secret level where we test-drive fun.
You can’t get in. It’s off limits! Devs only!

Screenshot of a "gym" level from the game SABOTAGE. A smuggler robot stands high up on a greybox ridge, looking down on a valley filled with gaming goodness. Lots of small stations are shown, where we test a range of mechanics, motion, and feel. You can see police bots, electric grind rails (skate / grind test), ramps of various shapes and sizes, boost pads and various elements of differentiated elevation. All of it useful for exploring platformer and driving fun. Helps us find a little bit of juice. It's a safe space to explore prior to integration into the levels that everyone sees in a standard play session.

Screenshot of gameplay from the blockout prototype playtest for Sabotage. Lots of placeholder imagery. The level is a functional blockout with primitive shapes and basic colors that insinuate a futuristic city. The player's character in center of screen is a Robot (also a functional / blockout model) that has 3 parts to their anatomy: big white head, big grey wheel underneath (for speedy drifty goodness), and robot is wearing some cool purple headphones - cause we need to whistle while we work. The robot is speeding through the scene - smoke comes off their tires and a tire track is getting pasted on the ground - smuggling (carrying) a stack of piping hot pizzas to somebody who wanted something that is not available on the standard menu from BigCo in BigTown.

Picture of demo table setup at the IndieCade Creator's Retreat. A round, table with black tablecloth is supporting the Skylight Studios Sabotage Playtest kit, which includes: A black laptop that shows the title / start screen for Sabotage Playtest; a USB-connected XBox controller for playtesters to use in the demo; a plastic table-top sign display holder thing holds a 1-sheet printout for Sabotage Playtest, with QR codes that link to Steam page and to Discord Channel; and a pair of glasses rest upside down to the left of the computer... so the photographer can rub their tired eyes and take a picture.

adaptation of still from banger of a horror movie, Let the Right One In. The image shows a silhouette of female behind glass, with their right hand pressed lightly against the pane. It is ominously foggy and creepy, without much detail visible. Just enough to make you nervous. Text overlay says, "Let the Playtesters In"

Screenshot from gameplay prototype for Sabotage (working title) - a playtest available on Steam. Image shows the player's character - a robot - who is struggling to navigate through the fog while towing a very heavy trailer. UI for the game is visible, showing time elapsed, cargo health and battery life. The game logo is superimposed in upper left corner.
