Lore

Lore... this game seems simple right? Just 2d blobs with hats shooting at each other, but behind this simple disguise, is a small taste of the lore that exists within the game.

## Changelog

Should you check the changelog on this site or in-game, you can see the following messages, they are put in the order that they exist on the lore perspective.

In the following, we will have a series of transmissions explicitly described as such: it's written here *in italic. S*ome other messages are included in changelog for players: it's written here normally.

### v1.1.0.5 - 2021-04-01 (1st transmission)

*\*Begin Transmission\**

*Battle Corp Compound engineers have launched a new generation of battle tanks, equipped with the rapid automatic shell delivery system*

*The Compound's ISLAND programme has been temporarily suspended to test out these new battle tanks*

*Our Regularly Scheduled Programming will return soon*

*BRRR*

*\*End of Transmission\**

### v1.1.0.6 - 2021-04-03

* Unfortunately the new generation auto-battle tanks had quite a few bugs and had to be returned to factories for more research and testing. Good thing that we saved the receipts
* The Compound returns to it's previous R&D programme

### v1.2.0.0 - 2021-04-14 (2nd transmission)

* Preparations for BattleDudes Phase 2

*\*\*Intercepted transmission from The Compound\*\**

*\*\*Satellite is go for launch. All systems nominal. Stable geosynchronous orbit over the island achieved.\*\**

*\*\*Begin transferring satellite imagery and monitoring Chemical B spread.\*\**

*\*\*Start preparing for operator insertion to the island.\*\**

*\*\*Transmission Over\*\**

* The Compound begins testing Chemical B and other equipment like R-Boxes for the Phase 2 project.

### v1.5.1 - 2021-12-03

* A cold front is rolling through BATTLECORP sanctioned play areas

### v1.5.4 - 2022-1-05 (3rd transmission)

* Intercepted transmission from Compound:

*\*\*\*BEGIN TRANSMISSION\*\*\**

*First test report:*

*Compound B gas seems to be more potent than we excepted.*

*Even steel plates and our automated resupply stations cannot withstand it.*

*Gas masks fail in seconds.*

*Thus, the first test was a success.*

*Incidents reported: 0.*

*Test survivors left: 1.*

*More testing to commence immediately.*

*You can now begin additional construction works on the Island.*

*\*\*\*TRANSMISSION OVER\*\*\**

### v1.6.0 - 2022-02-14 (4th transmission)

*\*\*\*ALERT YELLOW: TECTONIC PLATE MOVEMENT\*\*\**

*\*\*\*We noticed an unusually increased tectonic activity near the ISLANDS region\*\*\**

*\*\*\*The shift caused local land masses to change position\*\*\**

*\*\*\*Official Report:\*\*\**

*\*\*\*Due to Tectonic Plates shifting, ISLANDS region has been reduced.\*\*\**

### v1.8.0 - 2022-08-31 (5th transmission)

* \*\*\*TRANSMISSION DECODED\*\*\*
* \*\*\*TRANSMISSION START\*\*\*
* Due to weather control experimentation THE ISLANDS have experienced a sewere weather event
* Water has frozen over the whole territory
* Thus we conclude that our chem-trail experiment was a success
* \*REDACT\* Even though this outcome is not what we expected
* \*\*\*TRANSMISSION OVER\*\*\*

As we can see from the changelogs, BD definetely has lore and we can see one mysterious chemical substance mentioned in this, **CHEM B**, which is the gas in https://royaledudes.io (Royaledudes is connected to Battledudes). The highly dangerous substance is confirmed to be a **Bio-Weapon** made in **The Compound**.

## Observations

We can notice several elements which are indicated verbatim and which leave no place for speculation.

### 1st transmission

This transmission informs us that **BattleCorp** is the corporation that carries out research in The Compound. This corporation work on many things:

* a new program about *"a new generation of battle tanks".*
* a previous program named *"ISLAND".*

We also know that this research program about tanks matches with the Tank Battle mode of the First April 2021 Event.

In the following changelog, we see The Compound returns to it's previous R&D programme, which is the *"ISLAND"* program.

### 2nd transmission

This transmission informs us that **BattleCorp** work on many other things:

* the orbit insertion of a satellite.
* a substance named "*Chemical B*".
* some other appliances like "*R-Boxes*".
* the insertion of operators on an island.

We also know that the BattleDudes Phase 2 matches with Royaledudes.io. Considering this, we know the differents BattleCorp's projects matches with the different equipment included in this Phase 2: the *satellite* allows to operate the UAVs, the *Chemical B* is the gas, *R-Boxes* is the chests, *operators* are the players. We also know that the "*Island Project*" means royaledudes.io and not the "Islands" map of battledudes.io. The distinction is still maintained overall changelogs between "*Island"* and "**Islands**".

We can conclude that royaledudes was in development before the first transmission (1 April: *The Compound's ISLAND programme has been temporarily suspended*) and in testing phase since the second transmission (14 April: *Preparations for BattleDudes Phase 2*). It's appropriate to recall that Royaledudes.io alpha start at the 31 August.

We can also read that this transmission is an interception (first line : *\*\***Intercepted** transmission from The Compound\*\**). This makes the existence of an interceptor as an objective fact.

### 3rd transmission

This transmission is also described as an interception. It informs us that tests about the "*Chemical B*" substance is more dangerous than expected and all means to prevent it are failures (steel plates, automated resupply stations, gas mask): this is described as a success for BattleCorp. It also talks about "*additional construction works on the Island*".

We know steel plates are Armor Plates in-game, gas mask is gas mask, automated resupply stations is buy stations.

### 4th transmission

This transmission is there to inform us that a "*Tectonic Plates shifting*" have rework the Islands map.

## Conclusion

   As we can see from the changelogs, BD definetely has lore in which we can confirm that The Compound is a testing facility that houses scientists and engineers working for BattleCorp. They perform tests and develop weapons and military equipment which are intended to be included in-game in the various Sarunas's projects. In other words, BattleCorp is Sarunas.

However, there is some elements currently unknown:

* The second and third transmission are described as interception. We know nothing about the interceptor.
* ?
