Dedicated to giving you the latest public updates on SpongeBob's Robotic Adventure 2, directly from the creator himself, who is actively working on the game, improving and adding more stuff every day.

But first... you may want to know a little more about the game.

What is SRA2?

SpongeBob's Robotic Adventure 2 is the sequel to the 2013 game SpongeBob's Robotic Adventure, which drew a large audience appeal and a moment of fame. Even since before its release, Da Nerd had been thinking up plans for a sequel, and had promised it up front. There's even a poll on the original article asking what users want to see in the sequel – and more importantly, what they want to see fixed/improved.

SRA2 is meant to not only be an addition to the SRA saga, but an improvement on the original game; fixing every little thing that made the first game even a bit unenjoyable, while also bringing forward a brand-new story. The game also tries to streamline the experience as much as possible, while also maintaining all the new additions and improvements.

The game has gone through many changes through the years, even since before the first game was released. However, every change has taken another step to make this the best game possible. A lot of things have been experimented, which also means a lot of things have been cut out to make this a whole lot better game that has been worked on for so long.

Why are you making this?

Why not? If the legacy is left with the first game, let's face it, it'll die out really soon. The first game was very, very subpar in quality, and doesn't live up to expectations of any modern game – even indie games. SRA2 improves this drastically, especially with its new streamlined experience that makes both playing the entire game in one sitting and saving and coming back very easy, with almost no wait time.

In addition to that, the game introduces another story waiting to be grasped by its audience, just like any other work on the wiki. It's not just about you, the player, controlling a pixelated, 2D SpongeBob, jumping across platforms and defeating robots. Layering right behind that is the story, and it's so ever important to have a coherent, consistent story in a game that will get the player engaged instead of a bored "I did it" after beating the game in one sitting.

I want to play this, but I have a Mac (or some other platform)!

You asked, and SRA2 will respond. Not only will SRA2 be released on Windows XP and up, Mac OS X 10.6 and up and Android 2.2 and up, but so will a new update for the first game, which will also drastically improve the experience of that game.

Yes, you heard correctly. SRA v1.2 will be coming out close to SRA2's release (which is still TBD) for Windows, Mac and Android, with tons of improvements (but still no double-jump. sorry). These improvements may or may not include things that were fixed in SRA2 already, and probably also some performance fixes to make it run a lot smoother on all platforms.

I don't have Windows, Mac or Android / I have iOS!

If you have iOS: Get the Windows or Mac version! It's the exact same game, and will run the exact same way for whichever version you run it on. SRA2 will, for now, not be released for iOS for various technical reasons that will not be gone into at the moment.

If you don't have Windows or Mac: Well, you're a bit out of luck, unless you can find something that will emulate Windows/Mac applications on whatever platform you're running. The game can't possibly accommodate every platform that exists, so if for some reason you don't have any of these 3 platforms, it is very unlikely you'll be able to run SRA or SRA2. Sorry!

When will it be coming out? / Where can I find it?

The release date for SRA2 is currently TBD. The game is still very early in development, and the development cycle may take 6+ months, maybe even a year! A demo of a few levels will be released as with the first game a few months before the game comes out, but that's the earliest the public will receive as far as a playable demo. No, there won't be a super-rare-ultra-secret-hidden alpha/beta build. The development is disclosed securely to prevent any spoilers or anything else "leaked" about the game. However, there will be a few dev blogs with a very noticeable spoiler warning throughout the development process to let you know what's going on. Nothing story-wise will ever be revealed by HafenGames, but we can't guarantee that from people who have already played the game.

Once the game does come out, however, SRA2, SRA v1.2 and any future HafenGames releases can be found on the new website: hafengames.tk. Don't go there just yet, though, as the site is still a work-in-progress and you'll be met with a very blank page.

What can I do to help?

Suggest stuff! The game is constantly getting new additions, and a lot of these come from the community. If you have an idea for the game, say it! There are no bad ideas.

You can say what you want in the game by filling out this Google Form. It's pretty self-explanatory and you can submit as many times as you want, if you ever get another idea!

Otherwise, you can always [mailto:contact@hafengames.tk email HafenGames]. (If you want a more direct response, [mailto:admin@hafengames.tk use the admin email] which will be forwarded right to Da Nerd.)

If all else fails, add Da Nerd on Skype with the username live:oreogam3r.

HafenGames is really excited about bringing this game to life, and looking forward to your help to make that happen. Thank you!
