Community-made lore! And pilot buffs

On the forgotten edge of the galaxy, the planet Vorthex screams in silence. Your ship, the Vulcan, has just suffered an orbital attack: the fuel tank was pierced, and precious life-sustaining plasma pours out like stellar blood. Every second matters.

The creatures of Vorthex, parasitic aliens known as Drainers, catch the scent of the leaking energy and swarm the planet, feeding on the fuel and making refueling impossible. Without fuel, there’s no escape. Without escape, there’s no survival.

Armed with nothing but your reflexes, improvised weapons, and the last trace of power left in the ship, you descend to the surface on a desperate mission: eliminate the aliens, contain the leak, and recover fuel before the void swallows you whole.

The ground of Vorthex trembles. From plasma-soaked craters rises the Giant Alien, the Drainers’ final guardian: a living monstrosity, starving for the energy that keeps entire galaxies in motion. With the Vulcan’s tank nearly dry and alarms screaming inside the helmet, the pilot makes one last gamble. They focus every remaining charge of the weapon into a single shot. The blast slices through the alien like a comet… and the monster collapses, dissolving into pure energy.

Silence finally returns. Using the alien’s crystallized remains, the pilot seals the leak and refuels the tank with the recovered plasma. The ship’s systems blink green: FUEL STABLE. ALL SYSTEMS OK.

The Vulcan lifts off, tearing through Vorthex’s atmosphere as the planet falls away behind, now free of the infestation. On the visor: only stars, and the certainty that survival wasn’t luck, it was earned.

Now, about the buffs in this latest update and a small nerf:

• Pilot Trix, our beloved one, got a small nerf: her damage cap is now 1 million. Yes, it’s possible to go beyond that, but we’re keeping the game balanced this way. After all, too much damage could be harmful to the ship itself, right?

• Pilot Deprisnic now grants 100% more health, which will be useful to withstand Hard-mode damage.

• Pilot Ikko now also grants 100% more fuel. Who knows, maybe she’ll finally enter the Normal “infinite” meta?

We’re now starting the game with the lore intro adapted so the audience can learn a bit about the game. And I hope you enjoy this wonderful story created by our streamer.

One more detail: we’ll now have clickable streamer links that take you straight to their stream, and for Pilot Vyanka we send the player directly to the game [dynamiclink href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3115150/Vyankas_Memories/"](marketing, my babies hehehhe).

Next step: we’re moving into Creative Mode, so by next week we’ll have news about that.

Thank you, and let’s fly farther and farther.
