Hello Triangles!
We are excited to share the latest episode of our developer journal! If you missed out on our previous episodes, definitely go back and read them over here:
Episode 1 - Introduction
Episode 2 - The ForestThis time, we’re diving deep into a rugged and mysterious area that is brimming with ominous energy. Welcome to
the Mountains, a place filled with towering peaks, treacherous paths, and a host of brand-new enemies just waiting to challenge even the most experienced players.
As you emerge from the dense thickets of the Forest, there begins a turning point in your adventure. The world before you is now much larger, and you have the power to decide your fate. This is where your journey truly begins—the moment the world opens up, giving you the choice of which path to take next.
Whether it was by choice or through destiny, if you’ve stumbled upon the Mountains, be prepared as this area will truly test your survival instincts against nature’s harshest elements.
When designing this mountainous region we wanted to create an area that feels grand and intimidating, where nature itself becomes a formidable foe. This challenging environment needs to be navigated carefully, as you focus your attention on how to avoid and manage certain environmental debuffs on top of every other threat that lurks around the corner.
[h3]Peaks of Peril
[/h3]With any new region, there’s a new set of adversaries! You’ll come face to face with new angular enemies, each armed with their own distinct move sets and strapped with powerful weapons that will inevitably keep you on your toes.
Stamina management will be extremely critical while traversing this region, due to the hostile conditions of the territory you’ll be faced with, in addition to the difficulty of the enemies in this area. However, there is always hope, guided by a humble Flaming Torch which you should have discovered earlier in your travels. This item will become a blessing as you navigate your way through the blistering cold.
[h3]Harnessing Power in a Harsh Land[/h3]
You might feel like the world itself is against you. Fierce enemies, dangerous terrain, and relentless weather, it can seem like every step forward is a battle for survival. However, for every brutal challenge you face, there’s also a reward waiting for you to claim it. The deeper you venture, the more powerful tools you'll discover to add to your arsenal and relics that resonate with the region, ultimately turning the tide in your favour.
[h3]Crafting a World That Feels Alive[/h3]
Our design team has been hard at work making sure the icy mountains are both beautiful to look at and deadly to traverse. We want this area to be a place where every corner holds a new threat, but also a reward for those who are brave enough to explore it fully. The new weapons and items aren't just powerful—they’re designed to feel like natural extensions of the environment, giving you the tools to fight the cold and conquer the unpredictable terrain.
We also wanted to give players a sense of freedom by opening up the world and allowing you to choose your path, creating a more immersive and personalised experience. We believe that every decision should feel meaningful, and each region should offer a unique set of risks with a satisfactory pay off, to make your journey unforgettable.
We’re extremely excited for you to be able to explore this region fully once Void Sols launches next month,
November 12th! Our demo is also available to play for free, for those of you who haven’t had a chance to dive into the world yet.
