Dev Diary #17 - BioBoost

[p]\[ARCHIVAL RECORDS – Intergalactic Inquiry into Human Enhancement Ethics, File 7R-73/19X207 - REDACTED FOR PUBLIC CIRCULATION][/p][p]“The BioBoost system was never meant for mass deployment. It was a controlled program...measured, evaluated, regulated. Yes, it used ███████ material, but in trace amounts. We had psychic screenings. We had safeguards. The side effects were manageable. It was never meant to be used like this. We'd never expected test subjects to became less ███████ with each advancement.”[/p][p]- Dr. P Ilias, former lead researcher, Acantha X Biogenetics Division[/p][h3][/h3][p][/p][p]One of the most crucial parts of Moros Protocol isn't the shooting and stabbing, it's what happens when you've lost the fight! Players have the opportunity to upgrade themselves with BioMats that they collected during their previous run. This upgrade system is called BioBoost, designed at making you more formidable with every death. Let's learn a little more about it now...[/p][p][/p][h3]What is BioBoost?[/h3][p]The BioBoost system is a high-tier genetic enhancement program developed by Acantha X to make their soldiers tougher, faster, and more adaptable. Traditionally, upgrades were handed out based on rank and combat performance, awarded only to the most loyal operatives.[/p][p]In-game, BioBoosts enhancements are strong, more aggressive… and powered by a mysterious new resource: BioMats.[/p][p][/p][h3]How It Works[/h3][p]Each time you’re defeated, you’ll restart at the beginning of the current act. But you won’t go back empty-handed.[/p][p]Using the BioMats you collected during your run, you can unlock permanent upgrades via the BioBoost system—letting you carry forward progress between attempts. These upgrades make you more effective with every attempt, letting you push further and survive longer.[/p][p]No two deaths are wasted. Every run brings you closer to perfection.[/p][p][/p][h3]What Kind of Upgrades Can You Expect?[/h3][p]BioBoost upgrades are designed to be passive enhancements, they won’t change your gameplay style outright (that’s what weapons and augments are for), but they will make you stronger, more durable, and more prepared.[/p][p]Expect improvements like:[/p]

• [p]Increased max health[/p]
• [p]Higher stamina regen[/p]
• [p]Faster resource collection[/p]
• [p]And more...[/p]

[p]Each boost is subtle, but together they shape you into something... a little more than human.[/p][p][/p][h3]How Do You Get BioMats?[/h3][p]BioMats are rare biological materials scattered throughout the ship—found in chests, dropped by enemies, and hidden in high-risk areas. They’re highly valuable and absolutely essential for unlocking BioBoost upgrades.[/p][p]In the lore, they’re fragments of genetic material drawn from the same source that caused the Orpheus’s infection. What exactly that means… well, that’s for you to uncover.[/p][p]But one thing is certain: with every upgrade, you feel just a little less human.[/p][p][/p][p]We’ll be back next week with another dev breakdown. In the meantime, join our Discord to chat lore, drop feedback, and stay up to date with the road to launch.[/p][p][/p][p]See you in the stars 💫
