Hello Robocrafters! We've released a small update focused on wings!

Wings have had some pretty major changes in several places, but the bottom line is that they’ve become more agile.

The point from which wings provide thrust has been heavily adjusted, which makes them roll faster and with greater stability, which also means we’ve been able to lower the angular drag. How forces are applied for pitching and banking have also been adjusted, resulting in faster control. Planes that reach the upper limits of weight per wing will be slower to rotate as a balancing factor, but still agile enough that skilled pilots can fly through the canyons of Noma Transmitter.

As part of these changes, we've made Rudders redundant as Wings are agile and stable on their own. Rudders are now renamed to small wings and have had the same improvements as their larger counterpart, so you can still use them to create light agile flyers albeit with lower carrying capacity and top speed. As part of this change, wings can no longer be placed vertically.

Wings are a large change to the game's eco-system - They add a new axis to combat, they are fast and often weak and light. This creates several design challenges around keeping them fun to fly and fair to fight against. We’ll be keeping a close eye on their survivability, and are already looking into what kind of weaponry could enhance the flying experience. The differences between large and small wings can also be explored further as we see what you build with them!

We’re also lowering the Rail Gun projectile speed in T9 & T10 to what it has been in T7 & T8, and we’re increasing the damage propagation range in all Tiers. This update also fixes a couple of inventory stats that were incorrect with the last patch.

Salutations, Duelists! As of Wednesday, October 3rd, 2024, a new patch has gone live for NeoDuel: Backpack Monsters. To experience the most recent and up to date build of NeoDuel on Steam, make sure you update your game.

NEW FEATURE:

Refreshed Keyboard Shortcuts: With the fusion lock feature we added last week, some of our players who got used to right click to drop Cosmions into the storage voiced their need for new shortcuts. That's why we're bringing it back to not break your gaming instinct and introduce some new ones which are:

• C -> Open the Codex
  
• K -> Drop everything from backpack! That includes Cosmion, Zones, and anything you can stash.
  
• F -> Reroll the store offerings
  
• R -> Rotate held Cosmion, Zones, etc.
  
• Q or Right Click -> Drop the highlighted Cosmion into storage OR reserve shop offering.
  
• E or mouse scroll button -> Fusion Lock
  
• M -> Sell highlighted Cosmions, Zones, Essence.
  
• Space -> Start Duel
  
• Arrow keys or WASD -> Acts like a D-pad and moves the entire board

• Steam cloud save system improvements: Throughout the launch week, some players had issues with Steam cloud saves due to tightened security and permission settings. This cause players to have different instances of their game progress on different platform (such as PC vs Steam Deck). We've optimized how cloud save is handled now, and things should work as smooth as a butter.
  
• Double essence fusion/evolution bugs: Fixed an issue where some fusions wouldn't work as intended when positioning two Essences next to each other while linked to their needed Cosmion. While we couldn't replicate the issue in our playtest, our patch should address that, but do let us know if you encounter this again.

COSMION & ESSENCE BALANCING AND CHANGES

While we're still cooking the full balance patch based on our data from last week and this coming one, we've realized one thing: Fire builds are prevalent. Even though not the strongest builds in terms of success rate, it's still the most players. Therefore we are nerfing some of the best performing fire Cosmions just a bit, while buffing a tad bit some lesser used evolved and fusion ones.

ELECTRICITY BASED COSMION & ESSENCE

• Chirvolt: Reduced energy consumption from 3 to 2
  
• Volroost: Reduced energy consumption from 6 to 4
  
• Voltrex: Reduced energy consumption from 8 to 5

Developer’s Notes: Chrivolt is an adorable Electric starter Cosmion, but we realized that its current energy consumption and its evolutionary path was too high. So we tweaked them down.

FIRE BASED COSMION & ESSENCE

• Houshan : Cooldown upped from 3 to 3.5
  
• Firefist : Damage range reduced from 10-15 to 10-13

ICE BASED COSMION & ESSENCE

• Cryo Sugeko: Changed fusion recipe form Sugeko + Common Air Essence to now Sugeko + Rare Ice Essence.

Developer’s Notes: Ice is meant to feel strong as an element as it requires stacking, but Cryo Sugeko is the most used one as it was only requiring a Common Air Essence to evolve it. So we decided to tone it down by making its evolution more difficult, requiring now a Rare Ice Essence.

NATURE BASED COSMION & ESSENCE

• Duopon: Price in shop upped from from 3 to 4.

Developer’s Notes: Duopon is performing a little too well for a low cost Cosmion. It is very good for links as well as early game sustain, but at this price IN THIS ECONOMY? That's just a steal.

WATER BASED COSMION & ESSENCE

• Serenius: Reduced energy consumption from 6 to 4. Upped Damage range from 25-30 to 30-35.

Developer’s Notes: Arguably the worst performing Cosmion according to our data, we've decided to give it some love to incite you all to try it, especially considering its on hit effect of applying 2 Fog and creating 2 Flow.

Today, we are excited to release the official gameplay trailer. We aimed to showcase all aspects of the game, but some features, like the Chat where you can interact with enemies, didn’t make it due to time constraints. This feature is essential for winning videos and images. You can watch the uncensored version on our Steam page and the censored version on YouTube.
