Devlog #20: Feel the Game: Masks of the Void: Origins! – September,4th 2025

[p][/p][p]Hi, Gamers! [/p][p][/p][p]Tina here—Social Media Expert and Host at RolldBox Games. Today, I’m chatting with Ferran, one of our Co-Founders, as well as the Game Designer and Creative Director of the studio at RolldBox Games 👋[/p][p][/p][p]Welcome to DEVLOG #20: 20 DevDiaries diving into different aspects of game creation, from conception to full development. After months of work—from ideation to finished build—there’s definitely a lot to share.[/p][p][/p][p]This time, we'd like to give a special shout-out to two areas that are essential to the game, so you can fully experience it. Let’s dive in![/p][p][/p][h3]Inside the Development Process[/h3][p]
🔹 The Soundtrack and Sound Effects![/p][p]We had the special collaboration of amazing professionals from the game industry, who’ve created sounds and soundtracks for top AAA studios. These are top-tier pros who want to support and work with indie studios, helping us shine even brighter. We can’t thank them enough for their talent and dedication.[/p][p][/p][p]How did we create the soundtrack? [/p][p]For every area and environment, we asked ourselves what we wanted you to feel in the game: the rhythm, the intensity, the immersive atmosphere. We talked about instruments, voices, examples, emotions, and moods. This is the hardest part—putting into words what you want the sound to express. [/p][p]What helps the most are the game visuals in each environment, paired with varied gameplay moments. Then came the recordings, drafts, and tweaks to craft an epic soundtrack that we hope you enjoy as much as the entire dev team loved creating it.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]And the sound effects? [/p][p]A clear description of what we wanted to convey in every action and moment. Again, lots of gameplay footage was key, along with a huge list of sounds, and the magic of our amazing sound professional guided us so you can experience and feel every single telekinetic move and throw in Masks of the Void: Origins![/p][p][/p][p]Have fun! 🔊[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Sneak Peek of Upcoming Content[/h3][p][/p][p]When it comes to Feeling, one of the most important parts for us is all the playtests we run.[/p][p][/p][p]🔹 We want to give a big thanks to all the participants for their contributions and feedback, which we truly value. [/p][p]Being able to spot what works and what doesn’t is part of our job, and watching how people play—what draws them in, what doesn’t, what’s easy to understand and what’s tricky, their level of fluency, and countless other things we observe—helps us make a better game![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]More to share [/h3][p][/p][p]Your opinion matters to us! Right now we’re in the wishlist phase before the game launches, but once it’s out, your reviews on the experience are a gift to us—so we welcome them with open arms![/p][p][/p][p]Enjoy Masks of the Void: Origins: Wishlist it, follow us, and share it with your friends — especially if you love indie games and bold new ideas. ⭐[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]See you in the next Devlog with more and better![/p][p][/p][p]Don’t forget to join our Discord server. Let us know what you’d like us to talk about next from there!

Devlog #19: Surprises from The Neverending Night! – August 19th, 2025

[p][/p][p]Hi, Gamers! [/p][p][/p][p]Tina here—Social Media Expert and Host at RolldBox Games. Today, I’m chatting with Cris, the Art Director of the studio at RolldBox Games 👋[/p][p][/p][p]We’re already sharing gameplay from Masks of the Void: Origins! Across different times, different days, and even in other languages! 🌐[/p][p][/p][p]It won’t be long before you can enjoy the full experience. There’s still so much to discover — and in the meantime, we’ll keep showing you behind-the-scenes details of its creation and development.[/p][p][/p][p]Enjoy it![/p][p][/p][h3]Inside the Development Process[/h3][p]
[/p][p]In our previous Devlog, we gave you a sneak peek of our Void character from The Neverending Night and what its colors represent. [/p][p][/p][p]Now, we’ll dive a bit deeper into how we got there:[/p][p][/p][p]When we first began imagining The Void, we drew inspiration from a wide range of media — from games like Hades to galaxy images captured by our satellites, and even Marvel movies like The Avengers.[/p][p][/p][p]We chose shades of purple, mainly inspired by stellar nebulae, aiming to represent that vast space in The Void, charged with raw power. We truly believe purple embodies power, as we hinted at in last week’s Devlog.[/p][p][/p][p]From the very beginning, we wanted to avoid reddish tones, so players wouldn’t feel an immediate, physical threat. Instead, we wanted them to be drawn to the warmth of the soft violets, blended with cooler shades to heighten that feeling of calm before the storm.[/p][p][/p][p]Get drawn into The Void! 😈[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Sneak Peek of Upcoming Content
[/h3][p][/p][p]Sound is a core element for us in Masks of the Void, from the sound effects to the original soundtrack.[/p][p][/p][p]Every sound effect enhances each part of the game — every movement, every decision, every consequence — and conveys the dynamic energy you bring to the game with your play style.[/p][p][/p][p]The soundtrack is there with you the whole time, shifting subtly across maps and areas, amplifying the mood and atmosphere of each environment we’ve crafted.[/p][p][/p][p]We’re proud to have top-tier, AAA-level professionals behind both aspects of the audio, helping bring our vision to life![/p][p][/p][p]Once we share the credits list, you’ll get to see all of them! 🎶[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]More to share [/h3][p][/p][p]To enjoy Masks of the Void: Origins, just wishlist it, follow us, and share it with your friends — especially if you love indie games and bold new ideas. ⭐[/p][p][/p][p]We’re working hard to deliver a fascinating and fun Roguelite, which you can even play as a Roguelike if you prefer. It’s up to you — what style do you want to play?[/p][p]
[/p][p][/p][p]See you in the next Devlog with more and better![/p][p][/p][p]Don’t forget to join our Discord server. Let us know what you’d like us to talk about next from there!

Devlog #18: Our Journey into the Void – August 6th, 2025

[p]Hi, Gamers! [/p][p][/p][p]Tina here—Social Media Expert and Host at RolldBox Games. Today, I’m chatting with Cris, the Art Director of the studio at RolldBox Games 👋[/p][p][/p][p]The Masks of the Void franchise has arrived — and you can find all the details on our website![/p][p][/p][p]On Steam, we’ll be launching Masks of the Void: Origins very soon, and we’re thrilled to share its content, the behind-the-scenes details of how we built it, and some sneak peek images revealing just a fraction of the work that went into it.[/p][p][/p][p]We’re also preparing a ton of Making Of videos so you can dive even deeper into the process. And soon, the creators of Masks of the Void will be sharing their own gameplay experience with you![/p][p][/p][p]Sound exciting? Stay tuned and keep following us to get all the updates right on time! 🔔[/p][p][/p][h3]Inside the Development Process[/h3][p]
[/p][p]In our previous devlog, we shared a few details about The Void’s decoration. You might be wondering: how did we decide to represent The Void?[/p][p][/p][p]The answer has at least two sides — the artistic approach, and the design of the game’s narrative and mechanics. We chose shades of purple, inspired mainly by stellar nebulas, to capture that vast, force-charged space within the emptiness. We believe purple embodies power, as it’s often associated with royalty, wisdom, creativity, mystery, and magic. 💜[/p][p][/p][p]From the very beginning, we wanted to steer away from reddish tones so that the player wouldn’t feel an immediate, physical threat. Instead, we aimed for them to be drawn in by the warmth of soft violets, blended with cooler tones to amplify that calm before the storm feeling.[/p][p][/p][p]As we’ve explained before, The Void causes your world to deconstruct, decay, and slowly fade away. [/p][p]That’s exactly what’s happening to Iret The Boreal Island where she lives is the last remnant of her world, and only on her journey to The Vortex will she uncover what’s happening, how it all works… and face The Void in its entirety.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We won’t spoil anymore — play it yourself and uncover the secrets of The Void and the Masks.[/p][p][/p][h3]Sneak Peek of Upcoming Content
[/h3][p]And who’s the ruler of The Void? The entity itself — The Neverending Night![/p][p][/p][p]As we mentioned before, with purple representing power, we also saw how it ties into spirituality, intuition, and imagination — making it the perfect match for our Neverending Night.[/p][p][/p][p]So… what does the Neverending Night transform? It doesn’t just feed on the raw energy of worlds — it channels this energy through the Masks, turning it into Void Energy.[/p][p][/p][p]And what does it do with it?[/p][p]What do you imagine it could unleash in the life-and-death cycle of your world? 🌌 [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Uncover it in the game![/p][p][/p][h3]More to share [/h3][p][/p][p]Remember — each Mask comes with unique traits, letting you try out different abilities and new ways to unleash your telekinesis.[/p][p][/p][p]So… based on what we’ve told you, which one would you choose?[/p][p][/p][p]The order in which you can obtain them is designed to help you discover their full potential — and truly appreciate their powers.[/p][p][/p][p]Enjoy Masks of the Void… and all its energy![/p][p]
