1.3.14 Patch Notes - First Week Recap and the Week Ahead!
Wow - that concludes the first week of Vault of the Void being live in Early Access! A lot happened, including even being in Full Release for a few hours (doh)! Lessons learnt, changes made and 2 things really stand out to me:
Lots of patches have gone out this week, including some awesome new stuff for the Blade Hidden. More artifacts to come next week, and some more love will be passed out to the Daughter as well, as the data is continuously monitored to make sure everyone is getting a fair go!
In terms of data, you all have been crushing it. Nearly 50 million damage dealt in the first week!
One thing of note, this coming week I’ll actually be away from the keyboard for most of it - a family holiday booked (in hindsight), at an inconvenient time (when we booked it at the start of the year, I didn’t expect to have Vault released!). However I’ll still be patching any bugs that show up whilst away, but it may be a little lighter on the patches for the next 5 days or so.
A few members of the Discord have been talking about the Steam awards as well, and I’ve got some lovely messages regarding nominations for Vault (mostly in the Innovative Gameplay category). Whilst I really do love the appreciation you all show for what I’m trying to do with Vault, I’m also terrible at asking for reviews, let alone award nominations! (imposter syndrome much?) I won’t do that here, but I do want to put out a public “thank you” to all who have done so. Really does mean a lot!
So beyond next week - where next? Early December, all you Impossible players can look forward to Impossible+, which is almost ready to go, a few rounds of internal testing yet to play out! Then, as we progress further into December, look forward to hearing a bit more about the next class which will be added hopefully before the end of the year!
Onwards to the contents of tonight's patch (it actually dropped a few hours ago but only just got a chance to type all this up!)
Happy Void hunting!
