It is the holiday season of the year, we hope you are all safe, healthy and have the opportunity to share this time of the year with your loved ones! We at CatByteGames want to wish you love, joy and a happy New Year! To celebrate we are now rolling out patch 1.004 for AI Vendetta!
This patch contains several fixes, tweaks and improvements to AI Vendetta. We have been making changes to some of the interfaces to provide more feedback during certain Boss Battles. Some of the Boss battles have also been tweaked and improved for a better experience. And of course this patch contains many small fixes and changes which you can see in the list below.
Finally, we have also been adding some new features! Proto, our protagonist, has been featured in many seasonal events. Now you can also select these alternate versions of Proto in the new Skins menu. By completing the game you will also unlock the “Golden” Proto skin and you will be able to start a New Game+. Completing the game now also enables the secret radar! This optional feature will notify you while playing to indicate that an undiscovered secret is nearby. You can now also listen to the music of AI Vendetta in the new Jukebox mode after completing the game. In addition to the beta levels that were released with patch 1.002, you can now also play some of the cut content that didn’t make it into the final game after finding all hidden secrets.
With that we hope that you will enjoy playing AI Vendetta even more with the new patch! Of course we are always happy to receive your feedback, ideas and bug reports here on Steam or through our website.
Best wishes from the CatByteGames Team.
