Hello Voiders!



We are please to finally confirm the relese of the next NeuroVoider, the Extended Update, which will deploy on March 10th!



We will also be present at PAX East the 10-12 March, booth 11124.



That's not all, NeuroVoider will release THIS MONTH on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (including the Extended Update), as well as on Nintendo Switch later this year.

Console release dates will be announced next week! So stay tuned.



A new weapon category: the Glitched weapons. These weapons are very rare, dropping only in 5+ loot levels, but are overpowered for sure.

A total of 15 new unique weapons!



2 new environments and Dan Terminus tracks: the Graveyard, and the Metaverse.

The Graveyard is new normal environment coming with a lot dangers (do you like barrels?) but also with a lot of loot crates.





The Metaverse is special environment, fully replacing all special levels and exclusive to them.

A new type of special level will also be added: the Swarm levels, filled with A LOT of small bots.





4 new skills to leverage the power of the Glitched weapons!









And of course, new boss variations and new achievements!

See you next week for the release and all the info about the console versions!

Cheers!

Hey Voiders!

It's been a few weeks since we announced that we will take some time to work on console versions and new content for NeuroVoider.

Time for an update and a small glimpse of the new content.

Console ports are almost done and are on track to release early next year.
Our work on the next big update is also almost done too!

What to expect? A couple new environments, a whole new weapon categeroy (more powerfull than gold items), new skills, new musics from Dan Terminus, new special level type, and new achievements!

This update should release early next year too, first on Steam.

See you next year, and have some great holidays!

Roadmap

Hey Voiders!

We're still busy on the free DLC and console versions, but here's a maintenance update to keep the game fresh.

Nothing new this time, but a few changes coming from the console versions which are in the work. All the versions of the game share the same code, so if we do some optimization for any of them, all the other versions get the improvements.

The most notable fix is that v50 introduced a bug allowing to restart a daily run on the game over screen. This was never intended and if you got the game post-v50 and thought that this was normal, we are very sorry and hope that it's not too big of a bummer. In any case, we double-checked and very few players used it, so we believe that the leaderboards are mostly unaffected.

Regarding the free DLC and console versions, work is going steadily and everything should be finished by the end of year. The free DLC is on track to release early 2017 and the console versions will follow shortly after. I'm hoping to bring relevant news about all this soon enough.

Have fun!

UPDATE: v54.1 has been released to fix an incompatibility with MacOS Sierra.

• Optimized a bit how enemies are rendered (this should make the game a bit faster and working on some old hardware)
  
• Updated our internal engine to its latest version (this should make the game more reliable and compatible)
  
• The game has a few behaviors that have been adapted to match console versions (but this most likely won't be visible to PC players)
  
• Re-encoded all audio to the same format (this should enhance memory management on Xbox One)
  
• Gamepad disconnections are now better managed and will prompt which gamepad has been disconnected
  

• Fixes the possibility to restart a daily run on the game over screen
  
• Fixes brain name not displaying or displaying the name of your last game when registering a daily run
  
• Fixes some pixel bleeding on Xbox One (and probably other kind of GPU, including PC ones)
