Progress Report #197 - January 2026
Hi everyone!
We’re closing in fast on the next update, and with the finish line clearly in sight, this marks our final progress report before the Alpha release lands on February 7th, 2026.
We realize we initially aimed for January with this one, but there’s a good reason for the change, one that deserves its own post. We’ll be sharing more details in the next day or so, so stay tuned.
For now, let's dive into the latest:
---🎨----
Scene rendering continues for Caly’s short stay on one of the finest “toys” aboard the orc ship: The Milking Bed. The associated sprite animations are also coming along splendidly~
Additional lighting and visual detail work is being applied across the Orc Dungeon to bring it in line with the rest of VoidBound’s standard environment.
A fresh batch of sprites have been added, including the Fire Pit, a mysterious character, and new Orc and Goblin warriors. Currently in the works are the sprites for Her Indulgence, Jens and Ovden which will make an appearance during the Dinner Party sequence.
Goblin special cut-in artwork for combat encounters is now complete. We’re currently testing renders for the Pillory encounter to ensure everything flows smoothly in battle.
----✍️----
Writing and tuning continues on the main quest, with focus placed on the two key locations that form the backbone of the upcoming arc.
----🖥️----
Roughly 90% of all sprites have now been fully integrated into the Orc Dungeon scripting.
All light texture maps have been implemented across the dungeon.
Normal enemies are fully implemented, with extensive balancing passes underway after identifying a few "higher than expected" damage spikes during testing.
Final preparations for the update are in progress. Troubleshooting remaining issues, tightening systems, and gathering internal feedback to ensure the build lands in the best possible state.
And that brings us to the end of this progress report!
Thank you all so much for sticking with us during this entire stretch. This update has been a big one to tackle, and seeing it come together has been incredibly rewarding. We can’t wait to hear your thoughts, reactions, and feedback once it’s out!
Until then, Take Care and Kind Regards,
