Progress Report #51: January, 2023

Hail VoidSeekers,

They say time passes like a blur when you're having fun. Boy we must be having a blast working on VoidBound, cause some in the team find themselves bewildered with the realization that we're already in the third week of January! Well, time's a wastin', so lets slide into the progress real quick like!

New content updates pouring in from the writers had our artist busy all through the week creating four new unique scene assets and CGs. Slime theme lovers in particular will be most intrigued by this upcoming patch as they will have plenty to enjoy in terms of content scale. It may be a side quest, but as far as playtime goes, it has the immersion volume of a main quest-line. Stay tuned for more!

Finally, our lead writer is back on his feet and opened up by making some serious headway into the next zone, Jaee. Though the planet itself is not scheduled to be a part of the next update, it is however planned around ambitious goals- substantially expansive enough, to warrant work being started right away if we ever hope to bringing most, if not all of it, to reality. As it goes, basic systems first. From zone and terrain foundation, to unique NPC characteristics, all the way to rough quest shaping and story formatting! Henosis was challenging but fun. We expect Jahee to be no different.

Meanwhile, our coder dove into bug reports head-on, while simultaneously cleaning out redundant data from the engine. Puzzles in specific are getting a systematic uplift on a case by case basis based on player feedback. The entire initiative is expected to be tackled over the course of next few months. Also, did we mention Jahee work has started? Yea, all the techno mumbo jumbo can't be made possible without the codemaster sitting alongside the story spinner, after-all! Overall, a very busy yet productive week.

And that is all for this week. Next week, new CGs, new story updates and tinkering with more combat elements. Till then, take care and we'll see you in the next one!

Kind Regards,

Cursed-Atelier Team
