Additional Changes:

Gameplay

Various nerfs to enemies.
Reduced the amount of items stolen during a certain boss fight.
Enemy behavior overhauled based on Caly’s speed and presence around them.
Added flash lights to enemies.
Enemies now feature drop shadows. Exception being summoned items by the player example being: turrets and player model itself.

Fixed an issue where skill animations that target an enemy got displayed on a specific spot, even if the enemy moved away from it.

Audio

Fixed the audio behavior of movie files in the engine. Turning the music up and down will now also affect cinematic audio.
Voice acting option ON or OFF will now also work on the Cinematic.
Fixed the controlling system for ambience sounds. They are now governed by audio settings and can be adjusted at will. Further tweaks were made to suppress the irritating continuations of some.
Fixed 3D audio system where panning sound would play in unintended scenarios resulting in distortion, peaking and muffled sounds.

Technical

Raycasting overhauled. Example: Doors block flashlights but will not do so if open.
Added an additional hotkey to both keyboard/gamepad to toggle the player’s flashlight. The F key on the keyboard or the right stick on the controller is the default.
Fixed performance issues with lighting. Expected 30% FPS gains across the board.
Fixed older save issues where weapon values didn’t sync correctly due to a discrepancy between older settings and newer changes.
Changed mouse behavior on the title and main menu. Previously two clicks were required to have an option active. It’s now been tweaked to one click resulting in smoother option navigation.

Issues that still persist

Attempt was made to fix an issue where the engine would randomly fail to execute the intended range of a skill/weapon and instead open up inventory. Investigation ongoing.
An issue has been identified where player summoned items sometimes multiply in excessive quantities due to random reasons. Investigation ongoing.

Complete Revamp of Combat for both trash and boss encounters.

Please note, the new combat revamp has now been extended from Tripteen to Xaide dungeon as well! This mean players will have a much better time acclimating to the new combat system, so you’re highly encouraged to revisit the dungeons to test it out for yourself!

– Updated the CacheManager to have it keep assets from a minimum of 3 maps to avoid unnecessary loading time. (There will still be lags when transitioning between maps/scenes, which is due to textures uploading to the GPU. We’re currently still working on a solution for this).

Archived Changelog:

Developer Log: vB 0.1

In-Game Changes:

Spaceship “Setek” introduced. Player can now explore the ship and interact with the crew.
Planet “Tripteen” introduced. Player can now explore and interact with the friendly denizens of the planet.
New NPCs added to populate the new areas, some more friendly and useful than others.
Six new BGM tracks added to complement the new locations.
Three new SFX sounds added.
New animations added in some areas for the sake of fluidity.
Changes deployed on some artwork, complementing new developmental changes.
New standing art variations.
New battle objects added in the form of deployable Turret, Shield and Mine. [Found in player inventory]
New Balance changes to the combat systems. Integrating the new battle objects without overpowering either Caly or the enemies, was priority one.
The story gap between Caly’s rescue and her first dungeon dive now filled. The newly implemented content answers a lot of questions thereby giving the player a clearer sense of the VoidBound world and the lore behind it.
Based on player feedback, game intro has been revisited, resized and reduced to counter player fatigue due to “Wall of Text” syndrome. Players will now feel closer to playing a RPG/VN with “to the point” conversations, rather than reading a Light Novel with large text dumps.

Technical Changes:

Cinematic completely revamped with High Def video elements. Player can also choose to skip them if they so desire by pressing “Shift” key.
New custom elements and plugins added to the engine effectively expanding new capabilities, some of which will be discussed in later patches.
Heavy polishing and optimization rendered to make the new plugins mesh properly with the old ones for the sake of smoother game experience.
Experimentation with partial Voice Acting. Caly’s character will now audibly exclaim her emotions in certain scenarios. Very limited implementation however and player can disable it if they so desire, though we’d be grateful for your feedback on VA’s performance.
Memory leaks patched after some players reported crashes under certain system specs.
Enemy AI re-scripted. Bots will now move unpredictably and players will have to adjust strategy on turn by turn basis.
This effectively finishes the demo and officially upgrades the game from Alpha to Beta.

Other Important Information:

Developer Notes: Facing Crashes?:

Be advised, if you DO NOT have a GPU that is WebGL compatible, you’ll face crashes trying to play this game. If you do however have a compatible GPU but still experiencing crashes when scenes make transitions or choices get displayed, please go ahead and update your drivers and troubleshoot any Window conflicts. To clarify whether or not your system is running WebGL functions, head over to this website and test if you can see the spinning cube. If you can, your system is WebGL compliant

MTool/Hex Editors/Any-External Tool Disclaimer:

[UNSUPPORTED]

Due to how heavily customized VoidBound’s RPGM Engine is, we regularly deploy prototypical codeworks with each new patch deployment. The reason for doing so is to closely observe and evaluate game performance for maximum optimization. As such, presently, due to the project being a Work In Progress, we DO NOT recommend or provide support to players who employ tools like MTools or Hex Editors that inject themselves into the game to execute their intended functions. Not only might it lead to an unstable game experience but, as we’re unfamiliar with the inner working of these tools, providing any guidance for any errors caused by these programs, will be beyond our ability.

In short, do not use any and if you do, do so at your own risk/discretion.

Trouble Finding Gallery?:

Currently, gallery is accessible by using the Gallery Teleporter in your inventory. But it’s not available right off the bat! You need to clear the “Mind Dungeon” first for it to becoming accessible. It’s the dungeon after Xaide/Mushroom Planet.

PS: This is just a temporary system for gallery exhibition. It’s subject to change in the game’s final version.

ATTENTION: Windows 7/8.1 no longer supported! Read here for a detailed explanation.
