Illustrious and Beluga Lake are here! Vindictive Drive 2: Maidbot Archive

Beluga Lake is here!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Beluga Lake is a residential district of New Noir City, lots of small apartment buildings near the lake, a nice view and a large concentration of powerful machines in the center of SEITEN's fleet.

The new area is classified a Red danger zone, every single enemy has as much HP as regular bosses, there's enemies and structures with new diverse skills that will surprise you and most of all...

Athena Battlestation

Sitting in the first Black danger zone block, this massive ship has enormous firepower and endurance, it won't go down in one attempt, it has two hangars with fighter jets that will constantly attack you as well as absorb damage from your projectiles to protect Athena.

Illustrious | The first Generation 2 Battleship girl you can try

A girl with a powerful kit and a nasty attitude comes to cause havoc.
If you manage to conquer Beluga Lake, you will be rewarded(or punished depending on how you see it) with Illustrious, one of the three Battleship sisters who comes from the fictional country of Britain, or so she says.
Illustrious will treat you like trash and bully you, but if you manage to impress her she will start treating you well.
Her kit plays around her personality, if you land her airstrikes properly, your cooldown will reset, enabling you to recast the skill as long as you don't mess up, if you do mess up, it will be extended and you will suffer a defense cut.

You can't fix her.

Illustrious is voiced by Rachel Herring, an amazing British VA and you can follow her in X/Twitter.

Archive and general layout changes


I rebuilt the Archive! Now it's easier to navigate and efficient for future updates, and as you will see, it gives me a lot of room to add new features in the future like unlockable pics and stories, but for now, this is the start of something cool.

Changed the hud in the city so that it doesn't get in the way of your shooting, I also made the Auriga more compact and easier to navigate, Arris is faster now too, you'll get to do what you want quicker.

Now Hex will comment on the number of alfajores you steal from her, the dialogues change every 10 alfajores and it ends at 200 for now, disappointing, I know, but I'll add many more as soon as I get a second of free time in a couple days, these are surprisingly easy to produce so hey, people seem to like stealing from that box for some reason.


Obstacles and challenges


The lag glitch is being a pain to kill, and telling players to restart their game to fix it doesn't sit well with me, I'll focus my attention into it more.

Collabs!

I'll start working on the Collab characters, there's 7 of them on queue, but there's one that is HUGE, and I mean, ENORMOUS, LARGE, but you'll see what I mean, please stay tuned to my X/Twitter where I will announce it soon.

Kickstarter | The final lap


We are days away! We've met all the stretch goals! That means the game will have 300 Maidbots, a lorebook, an official song...though I want many but we will see, and professional Marketing/Administration assistance that is very needed so I can focus on development and deliver updates faster.

All money raised past the final stretch will be used to pay Voice Actors, we are gonna have a LOT of characters so please share the campaign if you can and want to.

Thank you for trusting me for this, special thanks to the players that have been helping in the Wiki, being vocal about the game, reporting bugs, uploading amazing gameplay and helping in general.
Not gonna lie, this is being a tough challenge, but it's the kinda challenge that makes life worth living, knowing you are there brings me joy unlike anything else.
