Hello, Overrider Lovers!
After a month of intense development, we're excited to announce that the development of Version 0.4.0 is nearly complete!
We're now entering the final polishing phase — and as of today, the Beta test branch is officially open!
If you're eager to get an early look at what’s coming, you can now switch to the Beta branch and be among the first to try the new update!
🔍 What’s New in the 0.4.0 Beta
This update focuses on clarifying and streamlining combat mechanics while significantly improving in-run build progression.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the major changes:
🎯 1. Reworked Skill System
The old “Character Rank-up” system has been fully removed.
Skills are now unlocked during runs by collecting rewards — creating a more dynamic and engaging progression system.
Skills are split into two categories:
🔹 Skill Mod (shared across all characters)
—↑ + Skill
—→ + skill
—Basic Attack Enhancer + Trait
—Ultimate Skill
—Block + Emergency Evade
🔸 Evolution Mod (character-specific)
—Unique to each character
—Unlocked separately during runs
🧩 2. Core, Extension , and Chip System Overhaul
We’ve restructured the “Core - Extension - Chip” system for clarity and better synergy within your build loop:
✅ Extensions are now independent
—No longer tied to Core levels
—Charge up by attacking enemies — once full, the Extension effect triggers automatically
✅ Core system is tiered
—Different cores now exist at Lv1 / Lv2 / Lv3
—Activation order: Lv1 → Lv2 → Lv3
—Higher levels include effects from lower levels
—Activation still relies on Override; consecutive activations will raise the core level
✅ Chip mechanics remain unchanged
⚔️ Boss Battles Reimagined!
We’ve reworked nearly all boss fights, enhancing mechanics and improving the overall pacing and intensity of these encounters. Expect fresh challenges and surprises!
And more, when you beat Boss without getting hurt, you will reward with extra, includes the boss body swaps!
🌟 Talents Reworked!
The entire Talent system has been redesigned from the ground up!
