A cyberpunk-themed Roblox game inspired by Bee Swarm Simulator, featuring nanobots in a digital world reminiscent of Tron and The Matrix.
Transform the honey-collecting mechanics of Bee Swarm Simulator into a high-tech digital experience where players control swarms of nanobots to collect data fragments and explore virtual networks.
- Setting: Artificial computer world with Matrix/Tron aesthetics
- Collectors: Nanobots instead of bees
- Resources: Data Nodes, Gigabucks, and Microchips
- Environment: Network nodes, data sectors, digital landscapes
The game’s standout feature is the Photoshop Tool-based formation control:
- Selection Tool: Square/rectangular formations
- Lasso Tool: Organic curved swarms
- Brush Tool: Circular formations with varying sizes
- Pen Tool: Precise geometric shapes
- Text Tool: Alphabet letter formations (A-Z)
- Clone Stamp: Mirrored/duplicate patterns
- Blur Tool: Scattered, fuzzy arrangements
- Gradient Tool: Linear spacing patterns
- Primary Nanobot: Central unit that other nanobots orbit around
- Dynamic Scaling: Formations adapt based on nanobot count (1-50 total)
- Smooth Rotation: Entire formation slowly rotates around the primary
- Seamless Transitions: Tool switching triggers smooth formation changes
- Nanobot Evolution: Different protocols (attack, defense, collection)
- Motherboard/Mainframe: Base management system
- Network Exploration: Various data sectors to unlock
- **Upgrade data storage types and tools, from a pencil and paper, to a high powered SSD, or even Cloud Storage!
- Digital Economy: Data as currency!
- Base game mechanics adapted from open-source Bee Swarm model
- Existing shop and item systems in place
- Force-based movement system already implemented
- Working on formation controller system
- Photoshop tool formation system
- Scalable formation algorithms
- Smooth transition animations
- Tool-specific gameplay mechanics
- Cyberpunk visual effects
- Digital sound design

This project is in active development. Key areas for contribution:
- 3D Models, including the game World and structures, landmarks, etc.
- 2D Sprites to replace existing items
- Nanobot Formation algorithms and mathematics
- Nanobot Visual effects and animations
- Tool-specific gameplay mechanics
- Performance optimization
- UI/UX design for tool selection
- More info can be found on the shared Trello board
- Download the ZIP and extract
- Open BSS KIT 7 in a fresh instance of Roblox Studio
- Ungroup each package into their respective areas
- Replace existing script files in the ungrouped files with the github-updated files
- (OPTIONAL) Install GitSync plugin and connect it with a new branch that you make in GitHub (or a copy of the existing repository - not recommended)
I will continue to fill this out as needed.
“In the digital realm, nanobots dance in perfect formation, creating beauty from chaos and order from data.”
