Progress Report #125: August 2024
Hi everyone,
We bring you the latest updates from the world of VoidBound.
Let's fill you in on all the details!
We're re-designing the User Interface for Weapon Modding. As a major feature of VoidBound, we want the mechanic to be visually appealing, easy to understand, and intuitive for players.
Flat coloring for the second scene of the Henosis new content is progressing well, with the work now around 70-80% complete.
We've also completed the concept art for the Henosis bank note, adding a tangible element to the game's economy. Whether it's for the casino or other shadowy corners, this hard currency is ready to circulate.
The new "relaxation" journey scene featuring Caly and Vas has now moved into the concept phase. Brace for some supercharged skin-ship.
The preliminary story draft involving Caly's new job on Henosis is near complete. Players will be offered multiple ways to approach the narrative, with variations that'd lead to different outcomes. The choices made will also impact how the finale unfolds, adding layers of depth and replayability to the experience.
We're also reviewing the Slime vs HDF Saga. While the quest is engaging, we believe there's room for improvement by clarifying the objectives, so that branching narratives are clearer for the players.
A full scriptwork containing the entirety of the Slime vs HDF saga, including gameplay mechanics, was handed over to the writer for further editing.
Work is also underway to enhance the Henosian side quests by integrating more sparkly interactables. We hope that alongside the quest log, these visual cues will help players navigate around the map and the objectives.
To boost the atmosphere within dungeons, we're working on implementing new Sound Boxes. These will add an extra layer of immersion, making each dungeon exploration more intense and engaging.
Finally, development has begun on the first Casino Mini-Game. Whether you're feeling lucky or just want to unwind, this new feature will let you try your hand at winning big—but beware, you might lose all those hard-earned credits on Henosis!
And that, wraps up this week's update!
Thank you for reading and for your continued support. We'll be back again next week, at the same time with more updates!
Till then, take care o/
Kind Regards,
