*Connection Established*

It's time again to bring you up to lightspeed with the latest update from the development team. Let's dive in.

Our artist has been hard at work transforming the ambience of Tripteen's dungeons, including brand-new dungeon maps, background textures, and addition of non-interactive objects. With a keen attention to detail and environmental storytelling, we are aiming to create vibrant zones rich in lore that would suit a facility inhabited by beings of mysterious origins.

And of course, no dungeon adventure is complete without a bestiary of captivating foes. To that effect, that we've added a line up of new battler sprites. We'll be unveiling some of them in a special roadmap article dropping in the next few days so be sure to keep an eye out!

Our writer on the other hand, has been working to expand the dialogue options of the Villagers, allowing them to react to Caly's journey. For instance, once Caly has gained the trust of the villagers by completing various tasks, some of the villagers may spill valuable information, offer to trade, or provide services. Key choices in dialogue are going to have consequences throughout the rest of the story as development continues.

Lastly, our coding wizards report new additional UI elements! Presenting:

HP Bars & Enemy Information Windows:

You can now track of your enemies' health via HP Bars on the side and at the bottom information panel, gauging the effectiveness of your attacks and strategically planning your next move. Over the course of development, we plan to expand the UI to accurately reflect the information that is being displayed in real-time, such as status effects.

That wraps it up for this week's exciting new development milestone. We will also be unveiling a roadmap article within days, showcasing our upcoming objectives. Brace yourselves for the journey ahead!

Ahoy there, adventurers!

Ready to dive into 2024's first week of development progress? We've been hard at work forging the next chapter of VoidBound, and we're excited to share the latest plans from our creative treasure chest ๐Ÿ—ƒ๏ธ

First up, updates from the artist:


Continuing our work from December, the Tripteen Maps are undergoing radical transformations! Our original designs, though befitting of an underground setting, still felt a bit too clean for a zone that is supposed to be occupied by aimless destructive bots. So, we decided to tear down the old walls and started sketching a brand new layout, one that strikes the perfect balance between expansive exploration and aesthetically suitable adventure.

Enter:
A preliminary sample showcasing the new layout with the unmaintained damage the facility suffered throughout the decades.

Overall, the concept of the map wings are in place, and now we're crafting the visual tapestry that will bring them to life. Think dilapidated floors, atmospherically dark ceilings in disrepair, and leaning walls with flickering lighting fixtures that whisper tales untold. And just like the captivating maps from the new intro, we plan on sprinkling interactable objects that add depth and discovery to every corner..- well at least to a few corners ๐Ÿ˜…

Onwards to the write-.. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Our sincerest apologies for this section as we don't have anything of significance to report this time. The writer went off on a new year vacation in high spirits, only to return a bit worse for wear. Nothing worrying thankfully, but he will be doing some major catching up in the coming few days. Once again, Mea Culpa ๐Ÿ™‡

Finally, some Code news:


While Tripteen continues to march towards its re-envisioned debut, we haven't lost sight of the bigger picture. In fact, the coding team has been diligently tinkering under the hood, focusing on areas that can truly elevate your gameplay experience.

Take for example, the weapon modification system. Remember those trusty sidearm mods and devastating rifle upgrades you've come to depend on? .. Anyone? Maybe? ๐Ÿ˜ญ Well, we intend to remedy that by giving these accessories more bite by implementing changes to make upgrades impactful!

That means not just stat bumps, but adjusting foe skills as well, encouraging players to explore the modification system naturally. In the end, we feel that upgrades should feel exciting, meaningful, and like a game-changer in the heat of each unique battle ๐ŸŒก๏ธ

And that is all for this one! Fret not though, this is just the first few chapters in our ongoing development saga! Stay tuned for more exciting updates in the weeks to come, as we refine mechanics, polish features, and make sure every aspect of VoidBound's newest patch is better than the original!

Keep your eyes peeled, spacers, because the journey's just getting started ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€๐Ÿš€

ATTENTION: Beaming You Up to a Glorious 2024 ๐Ÿ›ธ


Hey there, loyal adventurers,

Can you believe we made it another year? Time may fly when you're fighting blood thirsty aliens for your survival and crafting weapon modifications to take down those challenging foes ๐Ÿ‘พ, but we wanted to take a moment to thank you, from the bottom of our pixelated hearts, for your epic support throughout 2023.

And what a year it was. Your epic support fueled our engines this year, propelling our pre-order nebula launch on Steam ๐ŸŽฎ. Not only that, we also got featured in an Expo and even participated in our very first STEAM NextFest! It was truly a launch year of epic proportions, and we can't wait to reveal more of VoidBound's world in 2024 (think epic boss battles, re-energized planetary challenges, and of course, new adventures through the unknown stars!)

From the depths of our space developer cave, thank you for being the crew that makes this interstellar journey worthwhile. ๐Ÿš€

We hope you like the awesome New Year's artwork we whipped up just for you! Caly and Vas are definitely dressed to kill, wouldn't you agree? Here's to a New Year filled with cosmic adventures and infinite fun! ๐Ÿฅ‚ ๐Ÿพ

Catch you on the flip side!

From Everyone @ Cursed-Atelier Team

Greetings, spacefaring allies๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿš€

This week on the frontiers of intergalactic adventures, we've been weathering the holiday storm with grit and galactic glue. But, despite the festive distractions, our intrepid devs have been pushing the boundaries of our cosmic odyssey and we're here to share some of those bulletin updates with you.

As always, lets start from the desk of the artist:

The jackhammering to the first planet continues as we blast its terrain with stunning new CG asset updates as well as additions of new robotic designs. Central among them is the tight focus on the Mini Boss who got some extra uplifts this week.

Not only is the fight being re-done on a technical level to accommodate new tactics, its combat assets are being updated with new CG works as well. The idea is to create a unique and a formidable foe for Caly to go up against as she starts out her adventures. Goes without saying, the loss scene associated with the mini-boss is getting a grand re-design as well so expect Caly to get "machine"-handled in a variety of new ways.

Overall, after closely evaluating our initial work on the game, we're convinced that a quality overhaul of some earlier portions of the game is in order. Not only that, but we'll also be looking through existing CGs all around the game and make the needed adjustments to bring them more in line with the current standard.

The word weavers kept themselves busy reworking the Tripteen story-line. Their absolute priority is to avoid text droning while still keeping the lore engaging, though details remain sparse at this point. However, it was confirmed that new points of interests will be added with the rework to keep player explorations interesting so, safe to presume the new rework will have significant game-play highlights as well.

Finally, a new feature update from our coder who is in the middle of developing a new โ€œPopulation Systemโ€. Henosis is a bustling metropolitan space hub and its multiple large zones are a testament to that claim..- except the bustling part really doesn't show as zones tend to feel a bit empty. We intend to remedy that by adding a system that will populate crowds. Aliens from all walks of life will stroll along the streets and hallways, making it feel like a proper intergalactic hub of hustle and bustle.

And that is all for this one. Development arc dipped a tab bit this week due to the holidays but we fully intend to recover our groove once we enter the new year so stay tuned for new things in 2024!

Till then though, thanks for reading and your time.

Kind Regards,

Cursed-Atelier Team
