Today, it’s one of the best known ex-community managers in the world, Robert Bowling. After leaving Activision earlier this year, he founded a brand new developer called Robotoki. He’s working on a game called Human Element, and we were lucky enough to entice him to talk to us.
Remember Human Element? The class-based, zombie apocalypse game from Robert Bowling who served as the creative strategist and community manager for Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty franchise? As it turns out, Bowling’s studio Robotoki has shut down.
Shouldn't have given such a different impression of your game then. You described it as a gritty visceral apocalypse survival based on keeping the human element alive. Instead you made a cartoony Mad Max multiplayer shooter. I cannot understand what on earth happened.
Well i guess this is a good thing, what they showed and what the described was not even close to each other.
With founder Robert Bowling unable to find a publisher for Human Element, developer Robotoki has shut down.
Eee! Well that was a stint that went for few years for nothing. He shouldve not put some of his eggs in the Ouya basket, but ill still wish him well hell I think he should just go back to community stuff. He tried riding on his "im an ex call of duty dude" im guessing the publishers just werent interested much less other gamers because how many zombie games are out there??
Robotoki, the creators of the upcoming zombie survival game Human Element, failed to get The Adventures of Dash fully funded on Kickstarter. The game was a 2D platform-puzzler where you played various dreams of a narcoleptic boy.
If he was apart of a game that had a loyal following, rather than the casual CoD crowd he would have had more luck.
Looking out for Human Element still.
