This was an interactive adventure about an adorable robot named BIP. Art mediums changed from mspaint to actual paint, pencil, ink, digital colouring and even Lego. BIP's decisions were decided on democratically, and they altered the course of the plot, as well as the overall outcome of the story. The system was not complicated. There were no stats or convoluted procedures. You just had to get a feel for the character then vote or discuss the action you wanted him to preform. Please enjoy reading through the story, and have fun. It may be over, but BIP'll keep on truckin. Scroll down for links to the whole story. The first update is just below. I assure you, the art gets MUCH better with each update. Follow the thoughts of a retarded robot through his exciting adventure, see the pictures he draws, or read his occasional rap lyrics. I don't actually like twitter, but it has it's uses. The below is a 3-D animation created by Canis Ex Machina, with music by Alea Minerva and story/design by me, Cheap Shot.

-That's all there is! Thank you for reading. --- Update One This is BIP. BIP is a monotonous task preforming robot, designed to preform little errands around far traveling space craft. He is one of twenty five robotic units assigned to the Terraform class travel vessel, "Plethora". He is low on the ranker and knows very little of the ships destination or mission. Built without the ability to speak, or even the ability to read, he is subjected to pompous ordering around and verbal abuse from the human crew members. BIP has been assigned to a solitairy room and givin the task of pressing a button. He presses it when ever it lights up. He is very good at this job, almost as if he was created just to do this task. He has been assigned to this task for fourteen days, and despite his intended programming, has begun to question his duties. It is not clea- oh wait hang on... There we go. Robot 53,821 / Button 0. An announcement comes over the ships intercom. "All crew report to work stations. We have reached the destination and will begin settling the predetermined location in thirty-two minuets and counting." This announcement does not apply to you as you are already at your work station. You do wonder what is going on though. Voting on the next course of action will begin with multiple choice. The result will determine how much poo poo hits the fan. (1)Press the button really hard next time. Really super hard! (2)Discontinue pushing the button entirely. Explore the room. (3)Don't wait for the button to light up. Press recklessly and with abandon! (4)Keep pressing the button and do some soul searching. The process of voting will change each time the story is updated in order to give a bit more variety and include more peoples ideas. TWO IMPORTANT NOTES: If you think BIP should be re-named, Include a name in your post. If you see a name you like, quote it when you post. Only quoted names will be considered. Don't just post a number if you can help it. Try to explain a little why you think your choice should be made. This is open to discussion, that button isn't going anywhere. ------------------------- Goon BIP Art -Section Removed- It got too big. Sorry. You can find it all inside the thread though. ---- Now that that's all out of the way. Please enjoy! BIP design and story ©2007~2009 James "Cheap Shot" Claus-Nesbitt (Just in case of thieves!)

(1)Press the button really hard next time. Really super hard! BIP wants to be good at what he does, he needs to press that button like it's never been pressed before!

Aww, cute robot! I'm going to go with (2), because he needs to be brave to conquer the big scary world! Plus, who knows? Maybe there will be ANOTHER big button to push. Edit: Rename to Renaldo, Robot Extraordinaire!

i say 4, the inner workings of his robot soul intrest me greatly.

4! Do robots even have souls? Good ole BIP, he's just lookin for some meaning behind the button...

4 Sounds good

Voting for three.

Definitely 4, after all there's a window to gaze out of. What's this big round thing out there? Will it be friends with us? What's this word "friends" anyway?

4! Keep pressing that button, if you stop the world might end or something.

Voting 4 and name him Bippy

I vote #1, and I think his name is fine as is. Stay the course, little BIP.

Voting 1. It seems like the robotty thing to do.

I say 4. What will the others think if you stop doing your job?

Voting #1. His name should be Bippy.
|
# ? May 29, 2009 18:17 |

My vote is for #1. Maybe if you show the crew how well you do your job, they'll bother to respect you a little. So drop the hammer, BIP!

Bip is adorable. I vote for (1) please.
|
# ? May 29, 2009 18:19 |

I vote for #4 because I want to see the innards of his soul. And obviously introspection will lead us to our eventual further Awakening. Also, I love the name BIP.

4. Press the gently caress out of that button.

# ? May 29, 2009 18:27 |
1 is the only logical choice

# ? May 29, 2009 18:27 |

Go 1! Push that button!

I vote 2, He needs to escape his metal prison and investigate the world around him.

I vote 3. Also I'd like to name it DAVE9000.

# ? May 29, 2009 18:31 |

I'm thinking 3. Let's see what that button is capable of. And is that some kind of drink dispenser in the background?
|
# ? May 29, 2009 18:32 |
|
I vote 3. It sounds like a good way to increase BIP's self-esteem.

#3 Red buttons are the most important, and therefore should be pushed the most. Leave it Bip. Bippy can be his nickname
|
# ? May 29, 2009 18:34 |
|
I'd like to see the ramifications of option #1. After all, his programming says press the button, but did it specify how hard?

Choosing Option 4, since it's only for a few more minutes anyway. Also, BIP looks

# ? May 29, 2009 18:41 |

Voting for option 1, we need really super hard button pressing action! Also, BIP sounds fine.
