Description
"Some of the earlier machines produced by the ERI lack many of the records and schematics that those more carefully documented drones do. This device, colloquially dubbed 'the Wheelbot', is one such machine. Its remnants are found all over, derelict anywhere from deep within forests to under the now bustling urban centers. Its wide presence has baffled technological historians, but I speculate that the 'Wheelbot' was actually used in tilling soil. I believe that it was employed both by rural farmers in the sowing of their crops and by urban conservationists revitalising deforested lands. If assertion is correct, that would explain why this particular machine is found in so many locales of varying development."Related content

Oh man, I remember designing this. Back when I was sorta reliable.

I think most of us are pretty flaky, (I contribute in infrequent spurts, though things still seem to be progressing at a good pace.
How has everything been recently? Keeping busy?

Busy enough, between financial things and not having much motivation to draw. Just been working.

I can certainly relate to that. Work does consume a lot of free time; it's hard to be motivated to draw, sometimes, after you get home. Time off of work often feels best spent by doing nothing productive.

It looks like a tricky enemy to go against in certain areas.

It doesn't have much autonomy as it simply just rolls down slopes, and isn't particularly fast or damage resistant, (at least as implemented in the demo), so it is more of a foreboding pushover. It would be most threatening in close-quarters, either dropping in on or poised under the player, and/or in locales where the player is not given the necessary range to blast at it before it makes contact. it's biggest asset against the player would probably have to be its size.
You can see a couple of them in the demo playthrough in my journal.
