EndCycle VS News

Hello friends!

We are back after working on this update for 3 weeks instead of 2.
It's a little experiment of ours, which allows us to experiment a bit more between updates.
Tell us how we did!

This updates major focus is the Toolbox!
We made it a lot more user friendly and changed the design so it'll become much easier to read.
The best part? Drag & Drop integration. That is a huge deal believe us or not.
Now if you mess up the sequencing of an AI you can easily rearange it in seconds!

Also Fin is now part of the Toolbox helping out players by explaining all the parts of the Toolbox one by one.



We hope this'll make the Toolbox a lot more fun to use and we can't wait to see what you'll create with it.

Oh and we've also rebalanced a bunch of Vocs and added 3 new ones we deemed necessary.

Hello again everyone!

[h2]Why Team.01?[/h2]
Well we reworked our entire design philosophy when it comes to Team Deathmatch maps! We added 5 new maps for you to play on, and they now feature a completely new panel type which makes the entire battle feel much more connected than our old teleporter-based approach!

[h2]Better CPUs![/h2]
CPUs also became much harder as they're now able to use ultra VOCs against you, so Team Deathmatches with only CPUs fighting against you will now REALLY test your skills!

2 weeks have passed, so say hello to our newest update: Help.02!

Did we mention we're now pushing out an update every two weeks? We didn't? Well now we did!

While not huge, these updates still add a whole bunch of new things to the mix. Just check out this amazing changelog:

+ Adventure Mode SAVING! Runs are saved after each zone
+ Auto-fill button that automatically completes a pack
+ Team deathmatch-feel improved
+ Team deathmatch status updates appear on top-right
+ Improved tutorials with previews and better explanations
+ Added advanced inventory and elemental tutorials
+ New Achievements can be unlocked
+ Message when betraying / switching sides in Adventure Mode
* Better game feel when damaging enemies
* Faced our fears and used bug spray
* Game Servers can have custom ports

[h2]Auto-Fill[/h2]
With the new "Auto-Fill" button you can now let our super advanced AI complete your pack! Lean back as it does some heavy lifting to create a great deck with the starting base you provide it with!


[h2]Adventure mode saving![/h2]
Do you or your relatives experience the following: Playing Adventure mode and accidentally betraying your friends all the time? No problem! Your progress in an Adventure Mode run is now saved after each zone you clear, so you can easily continue with only a slight setback if you get killed! No more retracing your steps and entering the exact same seed again!


[h2]Improved Game-feel and Team Deathmatch experience[/h2]
Our highly trained engineers (Gal) analyzed the game feel and thought there is still room for improvement. After years of theorizing and experiments here is the result: The camera now zooms in ever so slightly when YOU hit an enemy. This makes the game have that crispy hitmarker feel, yet not get in the way of visual clarity.

We also improved the visual effects for our team deathmatch mode. It now feels much clearer and more fun to play!


That's about it for this week's update! We're hoping this update will be fun for you all!
