MACHINE: REFUELLED

Note: we're aware that this is essentially a completely different character, so for the sake of legacy https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3515816395 here's an old branch. It'll get done bugfixes and stuff but the main branch is this one

Machine Refuelled is a total rework of Machine aiming at striking a better compromise between my mechanical perfectionist lunatic ramblings and, uh, being a YOMI character? That, like, sane people can play?

MANKIND IS DEAD:

The Machine is a tricky character with three distinct weapons who flows between them with grace, style and large amounts of blood.
- The Revolver is a mobile, tricky weapon based around ricocheting bullets off coins to create pressure
- The Shotgun is a close range, high damage stance for close range, high damage combo potential
- The Nailgun has multi-hitting moves to generate lots of Blood and magnets to create strange, tricky projectile setups

BLOOD IS FUEL:

Machine has 3 subsystems which control a lot of its playstyle.
Blood: All of Machine's moves generate Blood on hit. This Blood gives you meter when you pick it up. Machine's meter gain without this is abysmal, so be sure to fuel up!
Stamina: Instead of the normal Air Option pips, the Machine has Stamina. This Stamina is used for Air Options, like anyone else, but also for Encores - powerful modifiers that let you seamlessly flow from one weapon into a move from another.
Style: Using varied moves without getting hit increases Machine's Style, which in turn provides a damage multiplier.
