Hey folks -- the wait is over, Vault of the Void: Nightmare is finally here! Thank you all for your patience as we put this together, I hope the wait is worth it! Before I dive into the details, I wanted to give a quick thank you for all the support for the mobile release, and also all the people who helped out making this release smooth by playing on the Beta Branch. This was instrumental in helping us squash as many little bugs as possible before going live. However, as usual, we’re on standby here for the next 48 hours to hotfix any issues we find! So please, if anything shows up, let us know in the Forums or on Discord! Thank you so much!

The goal of Nightmare was to get a smattering of content across several areas of game play, including some stuff we had been wanting to address for some time! Nightmare includes:

• 12 new Cards
  
• 12 new Artifacts
  
• 9 new Spells, including specific Class Spells which can be obtained from the Spell Child!
  
• 5 new Encounters, a new Floor Guardian, Vault Guardian, and a trio of meta-shifting Elites!!
  
• 3 new Challenge Coins
  
• 17 new Achievements
  
• Slight tweaks to some Starter Decks and Spells
  
• Full balance pass across many aspects of the game
  
• Numerous bug fixes and improvements

A full list of all the changes will be at the bottom of this post, with specific bug fixes and balance notes included!

Alongside Nightmare comes our portion of the epic crossover between Dawncaster and Vault of the Void! Players from Dawncaster will have noticed the epic Vault of the Void card pack available in game. Players of Vault now have the chance of facing the mighty Corellion Solspear and his devout followers, an epic Elite fight found on Floor 2.

If you haven’t heard about Dawncaster, its a deck building RPG with no microtransactions and frequent updates, available on both Android[play.google.com] and iOS[apps.apple.com]. You can join their Discord[discord.gg] to learn more! The team over at Wanderlost Interactive have been amazing friends through both our development journeys, and were a massive help getting Vault of the Void, answering my many platform specific questions! We love being able to do this with them, and look forward to more epic content together in the future.

Our major focus was getting a nice big content update out to celebrate the mobile release, and say thank you to all players for support so far. From here, our next major milestone will be Switch release, hoping by the end of the year. As we continue progressing this, work will be going in alongside on the 5th class. I’ll be sharing dev diaries and development progress as we go on that!

---

Thats it from us here! Its been a hard working couple of months and as we approach the end of the year, we're excited about the few more things we're keen to check off! Thank you all so much for the support, and a huge thank you to anyone who took the time to leave a review or rating on any of our store fronts -- its a major help for us and some of the best marketing we have!

Hope you all enjoy the patch -- until next time!

All for now!
- Josh

Hi folks! As we gear up towards our next FREE content update, Nightmare, I wanted to drop a few previews in here! I’ve been previewing these over at Reddit and in the Discord[discord.gg], so if you want to see more head over there! (Please note, some of these cards may have changed since the images were made as feedback rolls in from Beta!)

Also, just a note, but Nightmare is up and running on the Public Beta Branch for Steam, as well as our different outlets for mobile. If you’re keen to give things a try early, you can switch to the Beta Branch on Steam by right clicking on the Vault of the Void in your Library -> Betas then select Beta from the dropdown. All progress is carried over between branches, and you should have no issue flicking between!

Of course, feel free to head over to the Discord[discord.gg] to chat about your thoughts, or if you have any issues!

Thanks folks -- looking forward to the full release next week!!

All for now!
- Josh

Soon™

Hello everyone! Wow, it's been some time between updates, but its been very busy times here! We have lots to update you all with, and its a very exciting day! Lots to unpack, some big news which you’ve all been waiting for, then a quick update at the end of whats around the corner!

As part of this release, we’ve bundled together a Developer Support Pack – full of awesome Australian (the now iconic meme of my home country, according to the Discord[discord.gg]!) themed cosmetics.

Many of you have reached out and asked for some sort of DLC or another way of supporting the game more, so I’m happy to finally release something of that nature! I have always been outspoken about keeping the price of Vault low, I want to make it as affordable for as many people as possible! For those of you who would like to support the game more, this is the perfect way -- and if you do, a huge thank you from the team here!

https://gtm.you1.cn/storesteam/app/3011240/Vault_of_the_Void__Developer_Supporter_Pack/

The pack includes:

• 7 Alternative Artworks for the Sins
  
• 4 Alternative Artworks for Token cards (Hidden Blade, Silent Shiv, Chant, Void Coin)
  
• 3 Animated Deckbacks
  
• Unique Purge Effect
  
• New Battlefield
  
• Unique Menu Artwork

We did it! After much testing, many reviews and a lot of learning from Shu and I, we’ve finally released Vault of the Void onto mobile, both iOS and Android. This is such a huge day, and something I’ve been working towards since Vault was in its initial conception. Finally, after the big recode then a lot more tweaking, we’re here!

Android: {BAĞLANTI SİLİNDİ}http://bit.ly/3xguE1U


Apple: {BAĞLANTI SİLİNDİ}https://bit.ly/45rZSQe


One major feature for Mobile that I didn’t want to release without was Crossplay. The ability to start your run on the PC, and then jump on the train to work and finish a few more epic battles. I was determined to ensure that it wasn't shrouded in user emails, accounts, passwords and other things that just became a pain to manage. I’m so proud of the system design here, and Shu’s work on the technical side of things is amazing. Crossplay is now as simple as generating a link code on one device (in the Options menu), and entering that link code on another.

This should share full progress, including your current run, Unlocks, Mastery and the rest! The following things are not synced:

• Cosmetic settings (all cosmetic unlocks should be synced, but you can configure different alternative arts, deckbacks, battlegrounds, and purge effects on your phone)
  
• Settings (large font, screen shake, card stacking threshold, tooltips, etc.)
  
• Profile name
  
• Run history (we won’t sync all your run history files)

Thank you so much to all the testers who joined in during the closed and open beta. We had over 200 play testers assist us through testing on iOS and Android, logging over 10k fights which is amazing! I appreciate you all so much for helping make this launch as smooth as possible!


If you have any issues or bugs with the PC or Mobile version of Vault, please join Discord[discord.gg] and we’ll help you out!


I love my Steamdeck, and this has been in the works for a long time now. It got put on the back burner whilst we did the recode (part of the recode was adding the things we needed for this!), but finally I can let you know that we are fully Steam Deck Verified! This is awesome news, and we’re super proud – I know a lot of you have been enjoying Vault on your Steamdecks already, but hopefully this will highlight the game to more of you as well!

We’ll continue to optimise and work on things here to make sure its a pleasant experience for everyone.

We managed to sneak a few small balance changes into this patch as well! A full list is included below:

• Flame Shield (Neutral Elite Artifact): now Block to Battle Round on EVEN turns, and double Block amount on ODD turns.
  
• Celerity (Hidden Rare Ability): When upgraded, Draw & Discard 1 can trigger from both Purge and Discard instead of only Purge
  
• Runed Pommel (Hidden Artifact): now Uncommon, down from Elite
  
• Lucky Shiv (Hidden Uncommon Artifact): now works with Juke
  
• Knave's Katar (Hidden Elite Artifact): now works on any non-Balanced Swift cards, not only Attack cards
  
• Splattered Sawblade (Hidden Elite Artifact): now increase bleed by 1 for any source of Bleed, not only from cards
  
• Sanguine Stopwatch (Hidden Elite Artifact): rework to "Every 12 energy spent, trigger Bleed on all enemies at the end of your turn"
  
• Pyre (Enlightened Uncommon Buff): rework to "The first time each turn you draw an Affliction, gain 1 Energy, Discard 1 & add a Chant to hand. Expel."
  
• Haste (Enlightened Rare Ability): buff now can stack over turns
  
• Pocket Pagoda (Enlightened Artifact): now Uncommon, down from Elite
  
• Micro Darts (Enlightened Rare Artifact): rework to "Every 4 Attack cards played, add a Foreseen Volatile Centipede Stance to your hand."
  
• Null and Void (Daughter Common Ability): increase corruption damage from 125% to 150%
  
• Daughter mastery cards update:
  
  • Girl's Best Friend replaces Null and Void
    
  • Distraction replaces Diversion
    
  • Loose Change replaces Knife in the Dark
    
  • In For a Penny replaces Death's Embrace
    
  • Bolster replaces Shadow Dancer
    
  • Opportunity replaces Soultax

What a journey this has been – thank you all for your patience through all this. The next patch is going to be a full content patch. The team is sitting down to go over some new additions, some new encounters, some cards and perhaps some other things. We’ve been wanting to add more monsters for sometime now, and its the perfect opportunity.

As usual, please let me know if theres anything you’d like added! Work on the next class is underway and we’ll provide updates and previews on that as we go, but it did get put on hold whilst we got mobile out the door. Switch is still slated for later this year, but we want to give some content love before diving into that platform some more!

Thank you everyone for all your support! Will be back soon with more updates!

All for now
- Josh

I've also been hearing all of you who have asked for more ways to support the game, through DLC/Cosmetics etc. I have something very exciting in the works on that front as well, and will continue to spoil things quietly as we progress along. Stay tuned!

All for now!
Josh

Hello everyone! Very excited today to present the latest update for Vault, this time, geared towards newer and older players alike! Throughout the last few months, Vault has undergone a massive transformation to broaden the audience, with mobile progress still underway (more on that soon!). However, I really wanted to spend some time with some awesome new content for our current long timers as well! The team have been hard at work, so let's dive into what we have.

That's right! Now, when you head to the character select screen, you’ll have the option to choose a brand new spec! To unlock the spec, you’ll need to earn a 300k total score playing the first two specs -- wins or losses, they all count! Once unlocked, the new specs feature a collection of old cards and some new ones as well, all with their own focus area for players to enjoy!

I hope you all have a blast with these new specs, and enjoy some new synergies and fun that comes with it.

In addition to the exciting new specs, we also have 4 new Challenge Coins for you all to enjoy -- new ways to play the game, and some new Achievements to earn as well! I hope you enjoy them!

Lots of balance changes which have been queued up over the last few months -- thank you all for your feedback! Discord[discord.gg] is the best place to join the discussion, and Dabor has been hosting daily Card and Artifact discussions which all help contribute to our process, alongside the game data! I’ve listed all these below for you to dive through.

In case you missed it, in the previous update, there was some amazing feedback from players that helped me understand some of the concerns around timed events. I appreciate so much that everyone could give feedback and suggestions in such a civil way, and it made me rethink the way these are served, based on the concerns. As I mentioned in the comments, the process we've implemented now is that if you miss these event cardbacks, they can now be purchased in the Unlocks screen, at just a slightly higher price than others. Both the Treasure Goblin and Chinese New Year card backs are now available for purchase for those who missed it! A great solution, thank you all so much for your feedback!

We should have an announcement coming in the next few weeks about Mobile Testing. We’re getting a few tweaks and changes made, please join Discord[discord.gg] to be the first to know how to get your hands on this awesome new way to play!

---

As always, thank you so much for all the positive feedback and support for Vault. Every lovely comment and review helps fuel the team here to keep pushing. We're excited for Mobile, and we're also in the process of getting fully verified for Steam Deck as well. There's lots of new things on the horizon, and I hope you enjoy what we've prepared today!

All for now,

Hello everyone! Very exciting little content patch here. Fun little events like these are something I've been wanting to do for awhile, and I’m excited to finally have the time and resources to be able to achieve them!

To celebrate Chinese New Year, Nian has managed to slip their way into Vault of the Void! A new, limited time Elite fight is available right now. Spawning on the second floor, you’ll have a chance to banish Nian and claim the Year of the Dragon deckback, as a trophy for your accomplishment!

Nian will exit Vault for this year on February 26th, and then this deckback will be gone for good!

Hopefully this is something you all enjoy! I have lots of plans for more of these throughout the year, so please let me know if it's something you’d like more of as well!


So as promised, we’ve been investigating the linux build options. Things we’re almost there before we hit a frustrating snag. The linux dev environment is all set up, and we’re able to build the game -- however a restriction in the engine which forces files to be all lowercase has really caused us some issues (only on linux). Obviously, we’ve been in production for sometime now, with our cross save functionality all up and running -- but everything is currently using our regular naming convention. Changing this at this stage isn’t as simple as we’d like, with chances to have file class and lost data.

However, we’ve reached out to Gamemaker to hopefully get an option to disable this check. It's the final issue before a full linux build -- but sadly right now it's out of our hands. If we can’t get a supported solution, we’ll step back and take another look and see what we can do. I’m very sorry for the hold up!

Of course, we've been hard at work tending to all the reported bugs. Lots have been processed, heres some of the main ones though!

• New Void Coins added by Counterfeit (Daughter Rare Artifact) will no longer discarded by Starcallers when they are just added to the deck
  
• Playing a card that is made Balanced by Knave's Katar (Hidden Elite Artifact) and then Rebound will correctly consume combo when played again
  
• When Sapphire Sloth (Enlightened Elite Artifact) applies Shii and kills an enemy at turn end, player will no longer be able to continue their turn
  
• Crystal Lake Hand-me-down (Global Elite Artifact) should properly upgrade and add Red Void Stone to the first Heavy card played
  
• Add Block and Heavy filters to Deck Management
  
• Tweak controller scrolling in deck viewer, the cursor will no longer jump around and skip cards
  
• Tweak layouts of several event screens to prevent text overlap with item bar
  
• Fix Future Strike display on enemy HP bar when enemy has fortitude
  
• Fix Spells in Spell Child can be purchased multiple times by re-entering the event
  
• Fix some cards may show "Undiscovered" tooltips incorrectly when the settings is on
  
• Fix Infecti "Heal" inconsistent numbers when increasing their Max HP
  
• Add missing controller glyphs

All for now,
- Josh

Hello everyone -- I hope you’re all enjoying 2.0!

Today marks the start of our commitment to the future of Vault of the Void! We’re well underway right now with mobile testing, and all is going very well. We’ve also started on some prototypes for the next class, and a special ingame event to come soon -- can’t wait to share more on that!

However, I’m pleased today to announce that Vault of the Void is available on Mac! You can now enjoy playing Vault on your Mac, and also have full access to Steam Cloud Save! So far reports have been good, but there are a few technical things we’re trying to work through. Firstly, I'm happy to say we got Retina display support working! However we still have an annoying issue where, on MacBooks with the notch, we currently can’t detect this, and therefore full screen gets pushed down a little. We are doing what we can to resolve this, but window mode works perfectly fine for now.

Also, we’re looking into alternatives for the fact that some users have CTRL + Left click setup as their touchpad “right click”, alongside some improvements to touchpad in general, to avoid cards getting “stuck”. We’ll continue to improve and progress things on this front over the next few weeks. Until then, please feel free to reach out on the Discord[discord.gg] or Steam Forums if you encounter any issues!

Also in big news today, Vault of the Void now has a FREE to play Demo version available. If you’ve ever been interested in trying Vault, or perhaps have a friend that would like to try Vault but hasn’t, this could be for them!

I wanted to err on the side of being more generous with the Demo -- for that reason, the Demo version allows you to play the Hidden (the first class), as MUCH AS YOU LIKE! That's right, you’re free to climb all the way to I+50 if you like with the Hidden, no catch! To play the other classes, purchase cosmetics, play Daily Draft or Challenge Coins, you’ll need to own the full version however. I hope that feels fair for a Demo, and you’ll be able to continue your progress when you upgrade to the full version!

Some more exciting news hopefully coming later this week, then stay tuned for more content and updates as we carry on this awesome year of updates for Vault of the Void!

Thank you everyone!

All for now,
- Josh

• Fixed some enemy ability/buffs/debuffs that may have shown duplicate tooltips.
  
• Fixed Dark Courtesan using soul Sacrifice incorrectly to gain AP.
  
• Fixed an issue where Piglets killed by Shii can still explode.
  
• Properly count challenge coin results.
  
• Challenge coin medals are now tied with achievements.
  
• Put a mitigation on Knee Pads to reset the counter.
  - The actual interactions among Knee Pads and other Block artifacts are not modified as we investigate the issue.
  
• Put a fix in places to stop card selection actions going negative.
  - This should prevent infinite foresight in rare cases, but we are still investigating the root cause.
  
• Using route planner will no longer reset map tile markers but will only override planned route with green markers.

Thank you everyone -- more exciting new to come!

All for now!
