Void Scout Update – v1.2 - More enemy variety, more tactical freedom and options

[p]The latest update is here, bringing more variety and more ways to fight for survival.[/p]

[p]Enemies evolve: vulnerabilities, resistances, and new special skills mean no two fights are the same, and enemies are harder to control and bottleneck.[/p]
[p]Melee matters: melee weapons hit harder and stun more often, making close combat a stronger option.[/p]
[p]Tactical freedom: nanotech powers are now all bonus actions, so you can strike and unleash abilities in the same turn. You can also move after attacking.[/p]
[p]New powers: fresh nanotech skills to discover, from the devastating Fury to the defensive Hardening.[/p]

[p]The multiverse grows more dangerous, but so too do your options. Adapt, improvise, and survive.[/p][p][/p][p]The full change list is below. Let me know what you think of the update! Whether you love it or hate it, feedback is welcome.[/p][p][/p][h2]⚔️ Combat & Weapons[/h2]

[p]Player’s punch attack base damage increased to 2.[/p]
[p]Disposable weapons now deal +1 damage.[/p]
[p]Sledgehammer, shovel, crowbar, and baseball bat now apply stun.[/p]
[p]Shockrod stun duration increased (1 → 2 turns).[/p]
[p]Flamer, Blaze, Railgun, and Zeus now apply stun.[/p]

[hr][/hr][h2]🔧 Nanotech Changes[/h2]

[p]Rupture, Flare, and Rush nanotech skills now stun targets. Flashbang cooldown increased (4 → 5) and Flare cooldown increased (3 → 4).[/p]
[p]Rupture, Flare, Grenade, and Flashbang nanotech are now bonus abilities (can be used in addition to attacking).[/p]
[p]If unused nanotech bonus powers remain, you may now trigger them at the end of your turn after moving/attacking.[/p]
[p]Armor Skin buffed (5/8/10 → 10/15/20).[/p]
[p]Might buffed (1/2/3 → 2/3/4).[/p]
[p]Stealth buffed (.15/.25/.35 → .25/.4/.5). This means enemies lose you faster and less enemies appear.[/p]
[p]Hardening (Passive): This new nanotech reduces all damage taken after the first hit each turn.[/p]
[p]Scanner (Passive): Reveals hidden information on the mini-map.[/p]
[p]Nanorend (Active): Deals damage to all spaces around the Void Scout.[/p]
[p]Fury (Active): Make an additional attack with a carried weapon.[/p]
[p]New nanopairs added for these new nanotechs, with potential for eternal growth through level-ups.[/p]

[hr][/hr][h2]🎮 Player Turn Flow[/h2]

[p]You can now attack before moving (movement points are no longer lost when attacking).[/p]
[p]After completing movement/attacking, you will now get a final chance to use any bonus actions.[/p]

[hr][/hr][h2]🧟 Enemies[/h2]

[p]Some enemies now have a vulnerability: attacks with the right damage type deal extra damage.[/p]
[p]Enemies with vulnerabilities gain extra base HP: +2 (small enemies), +5 (chonkers) - make sure to use those vulnerabilities![/p]
[p]Boss and Chonker enemies now have stacking Stable (ignore one stun attempt each turn before being affected).[/p]
[p]All enemies gain 1 turn of Stable after being stunned – preventing easy stun-locking.[/p]
[p]Certain enemy types now have inherent special skills (not as often as bosses).[/p]
[p]Enemies now show their special skill usage in log messages.[/p]
[p]More enemies now spawn in all sectors to balance the player’s increased firepower.[/p]

[hr][/hr][h2]💥 Environment[/h2]

[p]Many more destructible and explosive objects added to sectors for more dynamic battlefields.[/p]
[p]Electric barrels now apply stun to adjacent enemies, other explosive objects now carry elemental damage types.[/p]

[hr][/hr][h2]📖 UI & Guide[/h2]

[p]New in-game guide page explaining damage types, Stun, and Stable mechanics.[/p]
[p]New tutorial message explaining movement after attacking.[/p]
[p]Inspecting analysed non-boss enemies now shows their skills.[/p]
[p]Boss health bar now displays revealed skills (inherent or already used).[/p]
[p]Health bars also now show the Stun/Stable level of an enemy.[/p]

[hr][/hr][h2]🐛 Bug Fixes[/h2]

[p]Fixed an issue where some nanopairs had incorrect passive nanotech values.[/p]

Void Scout is available now

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

After countless dreaming, building, testing, and revising, Void Scout is finally available.

This is a tactical roguelike about surviving the end of everything - one universe at a time. You play Alyssa, the Nexus Being whose mind is copied into a new reality every time she dies. The mission continues. The memories persist. And the multiverse keeps falling apart.

🎯 Strategic Combat, Decisions Matter

Positioning, planning, and timing are the heart of Void Scout’s tactical gameplay. This isn’t about min-maxing - it’s about outsmarting enemies across procedurally shifting battlefields. Each time you play a mission will give a different challenge.

🌌 A Story That Changes With You

This isn’t just randomized levels - it’s a living, procedural story. Each mission brings new dialogue, side plots. The multiverse is at stake, and no two realities are quite the same.

🧬 Roguelike Death, With Meaning

In Void Scout, death isn’t failure - it’s transition. Alyssa’s mind persists across universes, learning from each life lost. What you gain, remember, or regret follows you. You’ll die many times, but every death pushes the mission forward.
