EndCycle VS News

A brand new EndCycle VS!

Hello everyone, I'm Gal Axis the project lead / programmer of the game here to share very exciting news with you all!

First of all, as you might have noticed already: The game's logo is now updated and different! This look is closer to what EndCycle VS stands for: A fast paced pixel-art fighting game that is yours for the making!



Revo Scripting is now in the game!

Using the new Revo Engine you can create your own cross-platform scripts to code your own game modes, battle systems attack patterns, and anything else you want to create.

We're still working on a lot of guides that document just how you can utilize this new feature properly, so stay tuned for Steam guides that will be popping up soon.
If you have any questions, come join our Discord server (https://discord.gg/zS33UCb) and chat with other mod creators which are already working on mods with the Revo engine!

Mods are not the only new thing however! This update has a lot more in store for you...

Joining the fray is a new character: Fossil Fuel

This behemoth of a noise is able to consume lava panels in order to boost the magnitude of attacks to their limit!!!



With its large HP pool and power, it will be a challenge to take down in online multiplayer. Just make sure to steer clear of water and slowing attacks!

New VOCs
There is a bunch of new attacks for you to play with!

• Lv1 UpBlade and Lv1 Downblade VOCs combined with the newly reduced sword ending lag will make it posible to combo your enemies out of this world!
  
• Lv3 PotatoBomb will stick to your enemies and explode in an X radius around them with a powerful explosion! You can get really creative with setups due to the delay!
  
• Rain down the Lv1 Droplet VOC on your enemies and freeze them solid! Due to its low cooldown, it's easy to overwhelm your enemy and trap them in a cool situation!
  
• Absorb your enemies' hits and turn them into HP with the new Lv2 PainCrave! Combining this with Fin's new "Overheal" ability will result in an explosive amount of HP!
  

UI Overhaul

A bunch of the UI was overhauled to be more simple, accessible and quick to use. We also made fonts more legible by removing a lot of the outlines which cluttered the visuals. Check it out!





Character shop

Characters can now also be bought in the shop instead of having to unlock them through specific game modes! This way, you can now focus on the modes which are the most fun to you!





Liking this massive update? Well, expect even more exciting news soon!
Grab the game on steam now if you're on the edge, I guarantee you will have fun. Also if you haven't yet, join our Discord server (https://discord.gg/zS33UCb)! It has a lot of fun people to hang out with and every new member is more than welcome. :)

I hope you enjoy the game we have been making and have fun playing it!

We have been working hard to bring you all the newest EndCycle VS content. Here is all the new stuff you can look forward to...

Check out this little video of all the features EndCycle VS has to offer:
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[h2]New Main Menu and UI feel[/h2]
As we have added a lot of features to EndCycle VS, we thought it might be time to update our main menu to accommodate all of them. So, we present to you: EndCycle's New Main Menu:

You will find the features much more easily accessible than before. We also polished UI feel here and there. We hope you enjoy the soothing UI animations we created.

[h2]New VOCs[/h2]
This time around we added two new VOCs: PanelBack and AreaForce! The former reverts back an enemy panel in front of you and shoots a powerful energy orb towards your enemy! The latter forcefully takes back the closest row from your enemy and is only level 3, but it hurts you slightly in exchange!

Have fun experimenting with these new VOCs!
Oh, there's also a new Style: Neutral! With this style, you revert the closest stolen panel in front of you back to a neutral party. Use this style wisely...

[h2]Recipe Hub[/h2]
You can now upload your recipes online and share them with the world! Simply go into the inventory and press the "upload" button in the recipes menu. You can of course also download recipes from all over the world! Get inspired by other people's decks and make your own spin-offs and variations of them!


[h2]Local Lan Server[/h2]
In the Online Multiplayer menu you will now find a new "Host Server" option! Clicking this will open up your own private lobby which is hosted through your computer! Doing so enables you to host a lan lobby for yourself and your friends (or even an online one if you have port-forwarded the ports 17778 and 17779)! Have fun playing with your friends even without connecting to the internet!

[h2]Save linking[/h2]
You can now connect your save file between Android and Steam! Simply visit the "Save" section under the settings and initiate a Host and Client pair-up between your phone and your PC! Once you do this, you will be able to take your adventures on the go without any further hassle!

Just be careful not to play on both devices at once, as you may lose progress otherwise...
