Vital Shell

V 1.2.0.0 Local Co-op & Steam Workshop

MarvinWizard

Howdy All,

Big patch here!

This adds 2 player local co-op as well as Steam Workshop support for modding. I'm working on some public documentation for modding, but please reach out on the Discord modding channel in the interim.

In additional to local co-op I've brought in some new protocols. Each shell now gets a class specific protocol that offers opportunities to lean into certain builds or switch things up. Additionally, there are 5 new co-op specific protocols to help you find some unique synergies when playing with a friend.

All game modes except for the weekly challenge and arena are available for co-op. All unlocks and achievements should be working as well.

I'll keep a close eye on the bug reports! Hope you all enjoy.

Thanks, Your Friend, Marvin Wizard
