Your Next-Generation Companions: The Baby Drone Update

[h3]Greetings, all Visicons![/h3]



Continuing on expanding the foundations of Roboom, this update brings color and life to the previous Baby Drone powerup. Baby Drones are now much more than that: You can adopt and raise them in the battle against Oblivion!

[h2] Here's a summary of everything new in Roboom (Version 0.4.8):[/h2]

[h2]🚀Additions:[/h2]

    [h3]
  • New Baby Drones[/h3]

    Choose a Baby Drone from 5 different Visicon classes! All with different abilities, from healing to slash&dashing and more, assemble a cast of companions who will make you much more powerful against the forces of Oblivion!

    You can change the order in which they will appear according to your strategy:

    [h3]
  • Baby Drone Adoption and Leveling[/h3]
    To adopt a Baby Drone, you will need an Educator License. Feel free to talk to Minister Alumai for all the information!

    Your Baby Drones will gain experience throughout runs, and you can level them up to become stronger once they have enough experience:


    [h3]
  • Baby Drone Achievement[/h3]



[h2]⤴️Improvements:[/h2]

    [h3]
  • Pre-Release Leaderboard as an Option[/h3]


    Many players have earned incredibly high scores since the change of the score system to an oblitropy-based maximum score from endless-runs, and the leaderboard now displays these scores as the default alltime scores. And of course, the previous scores achieved by players before the changes are visible when the "Show Pre-Release Scores" option is toggled.


    [h3]
  • New Powerup Icon for Baby Drones[/h3]
    The description will also show the name of your Baby Drones!


  • Baby Drones now follow you faster, remaining within your field of sight.
  • Players who have adopted Baby Drones will see the powerup much more frequently when they can get it.

[h2]🛠️Fixes:[/h2]
  • General performance improvements, especially regarding post level 30 enemies.
  • Fixed some letters to render better as they should be in the leaderboard.


In addition to all these, many things are on the way, first and foremost Co-op, expansions to many powerups, and the Twitch Extension!

Here is Roboom's first content update after the Early Access release! It was a great launch, and we are thankful to every single Roboom player.

As for the update: We are introducing a new enemy Robocon who is shy, and rarely shows themselves. But there is a special, rare reward for defeating them! Along with this, HUB now has a new area!

[h2] Here's a summary of everything new in Roboom:[/h2]

[h2]🚀Additions:[/h2]

    [h3]
  • Nishiki[/h3]

    Now, throughout your runs, you will see Nishiki, who spawn quite rarely! While beautiful, they are shy creatures too, running away immediately after attacking you.

    [h3]
  • Mi Nishiki[/h3]
    [previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
    If you defeat a Nishiki, you will get the chance to adopt a baby Nishiki, a Mi Nishiki, as your pet fish of fortune!

    Mi Nishiki will collect Robonium for you and sometimes will even collect in double, earning you much more Robonium!

[h2]⤴️Improvements:[/h2]

    [h3]
  • New Warrior Area[/h3]

    Now, like Otachis and Info-Hunters, Warriors have their own area too! Roboosts have been moved to this area, which will be unveiling more and more of the Warriors! Feel free to boot up and dive into the Warrior Computer!
