The Void Rains Upon Her Heart News

v8.9e

v8.9e - July 7th, 2024
-The latest version of GameMaker introduced too many audio bugs, so I reverted it for this build

v8.9c

Surprise early update!
Two game crashes were found, and I don't like letting any known crashes live for too long, so I moved this update up by a week. I'm aiming for July 19th for a proper version 8.10.

v8.9c - July 6th, 2024
-2 new Power Gifts (Total: 219)
-5 new Bonus Gifts (Total: 66)
-3 new Blessings (Total: 122)
-Improved the performance of the change log screen which was starting to lag from the sheer weight of all the text
-Bug Fix: The game would crash in Scrambla or Boiler's events if you had one of the newest blessing or burden gifts active
-Bug Fix: The game would crash if you inspect a quick gift you just used under specific conditions

v8.9b

So how many gifts did I finish this week? Unfortunately, none. I spent most of the week optimizing my work on Keylocker, but I did pick up a few techniques for my own game! The work never ends...

v8.9b - June 28th, 2024
-Made several changes for optimizing how graphics are drawn. This may improve performance in battles with certain backgrounds.
-Bug Fix: The first tutorial scene showed old text markers that were removed from the game
-Bug Fix: There was a memory leak when the game was paused potentially crashing the game after many hours of pausing

I'm aiming for another update on July 12th, but if it ends up being only gifts again, then so be it.
Thanks for playing!

Cardiac Event Recorder - Update #85

[h2]Blessings and Burdens[/h2]
A problem that I've run into a few times is the limited amount of space in the text box that holds all the gift effects. (This is not about the card itself, but the big box with more descriptions you can find in the collection and various other places.) This is especially a problem with many of the burdens that have all sorts of unique and longer to explain effects. It got even worse when it was brought to my attention that some words are just WAY longer in other languages! So, I finally made that text box scrollable!

This was really REALLY hard to do, and I had to make it work in several different menus that all function a little differently, so I didn't have time to finish a bigger piece of content this time. But these are the rare times where I can actually focus on a batch of new gifts. I have 17 new Blessings and Burdens for you! The blessings are related to the main 3 shot types that didn't have enough gifts dedicated to them in The Towers mode before.

All the new burdens have relatively low stake effects, and they must be unlocked first. It might seem strange to want to unlock burdens, but I'll only do this with weak effects that you'd probably prefer over most of the other ones. There won't be too many more of these, and the total amount of burdens will end up lower than the total blessings.

Early Access updated game version to v8.9

[h2]Content Added[/h2]

  • 12 new Blessings (Total: 119)
  • 5 new Burdens (Total: 112)

[h2]Updates and tweaks[/h2]

  • When checking a gift's detailed effects list, it is now possible to scroll through the text if it does not fit on one page. This took a really long time to do, so you have to find a gift like this and scroll through all the text while complimenting it!
  • Added more details to several gift descriptions that didn't have enough room to show more details before

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

  • Bug Fix: After a battle, the particles created by your heart would continue to spawn off-screen potentially crashing the game if you stay on the result screen for a few hours


I'll skip the "upcoming list" section since nothing on it was finished this time. I do want to finish a few more gifts that I have planned, so I'm going to drop as many as I can in 1 week on June 28th!

Thank you for playing!
