EndCycle VS News

Hey!
I hope everyone had an awesome Halloween season.

Finally Cress - the leader of Crimson Force- arrives to EndCycle VS!
She's a really brave fighter so her ability focuses on close-combat!
We hope you'll enjoy playing as her!

We've also added the possibility to add CPU enemies.
Creating their AI was a lot of work, you can use them to train or just to sparr for fun, in case you can't find other players to fight against.

A bunch of new Vocs also await you.
All in all another huge update.

Here is the full list of added features and changes:

What. It. Do. EndCycle Fans.

We're excited to bring you another big update! To try it out, simply switch to the beta branch, by right-clicking the game in your steam inventory, and pressing properties. From there, simply select the beta option as shown here:


The focus this time lies on bringing you more tools and attacks to make battles even more exciting than before!

Let's first talk about all the new ailments that are possible with this update:

+ Blind: Limits your vision to a 3x3 area
+ Haste: Speeds up your VOC cooldown speed
+ Brake: Slows down your VOC cooldown speed
+ Berserk: Boosts your attack power for a small duration
+ Meak: Reduces your attack power for a small duration
+ Floating: Makes you float, making you unaffected by panels
+ Frozen: Freezes you into place, making you unable to move

Now unto the VOCs that utilize those ailments and more:

+ Lv3 BackFlash - Counters with blinding attack!
+ Lv3 Companion - Places cube that slides towards attacker!
+ Lv2 BoulderBack - Counter by dropping a boulder on enemy!
+ Lv2 Virus - Counters with poisonous explosion when hit!

Of course there are a bunch of new Styles as well:

- Removed Heal-2, Heal-3, Power- and Crush-Styles!
* All Styles are now either Lv0 or Lv1, and many styles have been re-balanced!

Your mods can now be even more extensive:

+ Styles are now moddable - which means that you can create your own styles now!
+ Volatile Skill: Keeps draining HP
+ SuperArmor Skill: Prevents flinching during attacks
+ Rebound Attack now can have a custom drawable
+ Shoot Attacks can now travel tile-by-tile
* Updated UI with more colors to be more readable

> Other improvements:

* Added Reset Settings button

And that's all for this update, but the next one is just around the corner.
In fact, this update is just the first half of the huge Crimson-Update, which was getting bigger and bigger the longer we worked on it.
We decided it was getting too big for a single update and didn't want to keep you waiting any longer for a lot of stuff we could just bring you early.

The next update will bring you 3 new campaigns, which further explore the world of Anikka. One of those revolves around Cress - the brave leader of Crimson Force, while another one is about Del - the calculating chief of Azure Shield! As for the third one... You'll just have to wait and see!



We can't wait for you to see it.
Until next time!
