In our 11th Early Access content update, we're finally bringing the [b]Character Creator[/b] aka Mech Hangar to you, as well as another major character rework. [b]Rogue Voltage is 20% off for IndieArk's Publisher Sale and IndieX games festival.[/b] This is the lowest discount all year so tell all your nerdy friends! [h3][b]THE MECH HANGAR:[/b][/h3] The Mech Hangar is now available in camp, and we're sure you're going to have a lot of fun with it. It becomes available for downpayment once you beat the game and have all the camp structures unlocked. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42646977/b072d80060d02377a702ca7d2b4c7c658aedfb11.png[/img] Inside you have a blaster and 4 empty module sockets to build the mech's starting layout. But beware: Once placed, modules can't be taken away again, only destroyed. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42646977/0e3f280b89738a3be601e08b8a820efd83bc4167.png[/img] Start a run with the Time Travel Mech character and they will come with the rack loadout you designed.

[/b]You're very much invited to share your creations in the [url=https://discord.com/invite/bGpnfJFUPj][b]Discord-Community[/b][/url]! I'm looking forward what broken stuff you come up with. [h3][b]CHARACTER REWORKS:[/b][/h3] The Nomad and Sol got fused into one character. They used to work amazing together, but weren't too flexible individually. [h3]The Nomad[/h3] The Nomad now has the lightning weapon that Sol used to have (with a snazzy new look). Now you have to construct lightning rods to protect yourself from ... yourself. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42646977/bb5caea4b8bdb53827e2d32b9954d6218e6f7727.png[/img] [h3]Sol[/h3] Sol has an ALL NEW rack! She now fights by constructing Auto-Turrets that deal 1 damage per turn. Create as many turrets as you can in order to stack up on damage, but remember to keep them charged or they will implode! (Strong combo: Using them as a target for the Crust Generator before they go anyway) [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42646977/e468e842273d1e4f35625811396fef60315036a8.png[/img] [h3]Plasma Bot[/h3] I didn't like two mechas in the game, so the former Plasma Mech was changed to be a cute little Plasma Bot now. Nothing changed on the rack, still a very powerful char and fan-favorite.

I think this adds a lot. [*] New badges on the character selection screen reward you for having runs won on different difficulties. [*] I added some missing character animation frames [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42646977/eb010050d98a005a58f0455361622672f9bbdd9a.png[/img] [/list] [h3][b]WHAT ELSE:[/b][/h3] [list] [*] Defusing the time bomb now triggers the accumulation sensor [*] There is a "Storage Charger" module available in the vending machine in camp [*] "Storm Cells" are now regular drops in the uncommon slot [*] Fixed a bug while combusting plasma when having 0 or negative plasma. [/list] [h3][b]UPCOMING FEATURES:[/b][/h3] [list] [*] New modules and drop-table reworks [*] Run-modifying passive modules and curses for the daily runs [*] In the near future: A new ice biome [/list] [h2][b]PLEASE LEAVE A STEAM REVIEW[/b][/h2] Thank all of you so much for tinkering with Rogue Voltage in Early Access.
