The Past

the current version of flooded area bot 🌊 is v3, meaning that there has been two previous public iterations of the app

📜 what flooded area bot 🌊 started off as

• flooded area bot 🌊 originally started as "flooded area suggestions 📋"
• this was due to a certain @CrazyDoruk22 appearing in my dms one day and practically begging lol
• (i'm joking ilynh doruk)
• as the name suggests, flooded area suggestions 📋 was a simple thread-based suggestions system where people can submit suggestions for flooded area
• each suggestion can be upvoted or downvoted, also containing a thread for discussion of the suggestion
• this system was in place until discord introduced forum channels
• at the time of when i started developing flooded area suggestions 📋 (now: flooded area bot 🌊), it was heavily inspired by berry bot 🫐
• for this reason, flooded area bot 🌊's app on the discord developer portal was put under the same team as berry bot 🫐
• ..of which was owned by gentleberry16 gerek: a now inactive account
• regardless, apps cannot be transferred between teams so we are completely and utterly fucked chat

🌌 flooded area bot 🌊 and universe laboratories

• flooded area bot 🌊 was formerly called "area communities bot 🌊🌌"
• after the introduction of spaced out, a roblox game developed by universe laboratories including @welololol, i tried to bridge the two games together under one app
• unfortunately, i was too slow with my development and was unable to make anything meaningful with features for @welololol before the game slowly died down
• the same ordeal happened with darkness obby, yet another game developed by universe laboratories, except had one singular feature (automated map submissions) requested by @welololol
• the creation of the universe bot 🌌
• following anarchy chess, a game developed by universe laboratories, its success was comparable to flooded area and such, i decided to split off area communities bot 🌊🌌 into "flooded area bot 🌊" and "the universe bot 🌌"
• ..i am technically under no obligation to develop the universe bot 🌌 nor am i even sure if the universe laboratories server staff want this app, so i am currently re-evaluating its current use~

the killer

the killer 🤖 is an app which allows for flooded area moderation to take place straight from the flooded area community

it is feature-rich way for flooded area to (mass-)moderate players, involving: (temporary) bans; kicks; and revoke bans

🛠️ how the killer 🤖 works

• the killer 🤖 uses the roblox open cloud api to remotely ban and send messages across for other moderation functions

🌫️ what the killer 🤖 was built off of

• the killer 🤖 is a fork of stratiz's discord-to-roblox code, added to flooded area by actuallyarla
• it has since been re-written by me and re-developed to use the roblox open cloud api for improved reliability with the help of ActuallyHalowo

💻 the killer 🤖 is source-available!

• the source code of the killer 🤖 can be viewed on github: button below~
