Latest Steam announcements

  • v1.0.6 is available on the beta branch - 23 July 2016

    New Features: - use staff to spear standard robot - use staff to smash robots glass head - use staff to knock robot down or off game grid - standard robots can now approach closer to the player Note: robots will not approach closer to the player until mid-game. Additionally not all robots will move closer to the player, only some of them will. If you have a really large play area you'll be able to spear robots any time simply by walking up to them and spearing them. However, for the rest of us you'll need to wait till they make that move to get closer to you.

  • The future - 14 April 2016

    I’ve been waiting a long time for a viable consumer ready VR system and as a game creator I could spend the rest of my life developing experiences for it. It’s fun, exciting and challenging all at the same time. Dawn of the Robot Empire is my 1st VR game. I’ve really tried to make the interactions feel as physical as possible to make it seem like you’re in the world and can interact with it. e.g. the laser pistol not only shoots; you can use it to “bash” enemies. An example of this is seen in the game trailer where you can ‘spear’ a robotic snake with your staff weapon and then bash it’s armored eye till it breaks. It’s something that you’ve probably seen in a fantasy movie or performed in another game by pushing an “action” button. But here you’re really doing it. The haptic feedback makes all those hits really connect. The HTC-Vive is the 1st device that IMO meets the minimum standard…

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 8, 2026 to Oct 8, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $5.99
  • Highest observed: $5.99

Dawn of the Robot Empire's USD price history spans from Oct 8, 2026 to Oct 8, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $5.99, the highest is $5.99, and the first visible tracked price is $5.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Dawn of the Robot Empire's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $5.99, from Oct 8, 2026 through Oct 8, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $5.99. The latest run records $5.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $5.99
  • Current list price: $5.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Dawn of the Robot Empire at $5.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
