Vindictive Drive 2 0.4.4 | "ZERO RISING"
It's been an intense couple weeks, I wanted to come back to you with something that really shows I wanna put words into action, here's some of the new things!:
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[h2]ZERO | GROWTH SYSTEM[/h2]

Zero has always been just the starter maidbot to teach you the basics, now, altough she starts very weak, she can be trained and learn new hidden skills, from now on, the cards with a colored number will own this new system:
Zero gains experience by attacking enemies, naturally, large enemies that allow you to connect a lot of shots are best for this.
[h2]ZERO | CITY CHAT[/h2]

You can now chat with Zero in the city, with time I will increase the number of interactions, some of the interactions give experience for the growth system.
[h2]NEW INSTANCE | STYGIAN TRAVERSE DEPTHS[/h2]
The black clouds have descended on the eastern side of New Noir City, infecting a large number of machines, this is an endless instance and enemies attack you at complete random, on top of that, there's two very powerful bosses lurking in the shadows.
[h2]GYUBEEH AND KIDOVAH | BIOKERNEL CONSTRUCT BOSSES[/h2]

The first of the Biokernel constructs, the Biokernel's response to Hexcorp's Maidbots, they are sassy, stylish, and verbally abusive, these two weirdos will keep getting stronger the deeper you go into the instance and continue to appear every 5 blocks.
[h2]VITAKROSIS | GUARDIAN SPIRIT OF REVENGE[/h2]

A bad omen, a warning of the tragedies to come, Vitakrosis has appeared somewhere in the Stygian Traverse Depths, her presence implies the destruction of this world.
She is mentor and protector of those who dedicated their lives to revenge, though her true intentions will remain a mystery, find Vitakrosis and you will receive a permanent stat boost.
[h2]LULLASTASIA | THE CALM DEATH[/h2]

The new Maidbot has arrived, it is #9, Lullastasia, she's a gloomy and quiet girl who protects ancient tombs from would be treasure hunters, she drags enemies to you and finishes them with her Death Touch.
[h2]ART | ALL MAIDBOT PORTRAITS AND CARDS UPDATED[/h2]

That took a while.
[h2]MEMORIMO REWORK[/h2]

Memorimo has always been kind of behind in terms of usability and performance, now, her skills have been updated with massive heals and buffs, she doesn't attack, but she protects!
[h2]BALANCE CHANGES | BUFFS[/h2]
Shireywha now has lifesteal, she recovers HP while attacking enemies
Kyvzaki now deals double damage if your HP drops below 20%
Mar's nuclear bombs deal more damage to make up for her possibly(most likely) kiling you sometimes
[h2]FINAL NOTES:[/h2]
I have fun making updates where I introduce new characters, this one was very challenging, please, let me know what you think, feedback is super important and critical for my progress, please post your thoughts here on Steam or feel free to contact me on Twitter/X at @boukensha_bal or via Discord at Bal_Dev
Cheers!
