Progress Report #32: August, 2022

"WTF?! - Where's The Food?!"

Greetings o/

And we're back with the latest updates from the realm of VoidBound! And since this is the last one of the month, we've a fair bit to unpack so, lets dive in.

The mnemonist amongst you might remember coming across a salacious poster of Vas while guiding Caly through the perilous Urtu Embassy mission. Though at the time it was just meant to be a one off thing that served as a minor lore supplement, the player response to it however, made us change our minds. More art, displayed as in game posters, themed around various central characters are now being discussed with one piece green lit already. Rather not spill the beans much but, you can find more teasing details in the PR attached. 

The writers are done talking and they now intend to take action! Well.. erm, not the violent kind. They "gently" informed us that they have finished discussing the future of quest frameworks and have now started laying groundwork for both upcoming ones as well updations to the parameters of the existing ones. In short, make new quests interesting. Make old quests more interesting!

Btw, remember this from way back?

Yea, this is coming into the game in the form of a character development event. As the original was concepted as a fanart, the context will be updated suitably to adapt it for the game, but rest assured, the outcome will remain hilariously tragic. Haar... be strong, fuzzy pooch.

Finally, our coder went full serious dev mode this week. Henosis currently has everything incorporated that was initially planned in it. A vibrant metropolis, a lot of foundation for quests and events, potential for lore integration/expansion etc. alongside a fair few other features. What it is missing however, is proper game-play based content i.e dungeon(s) attached to it. Enter, not one, not two but three dungeon designs with fittingly appropriate enemies to go along with them! Details are still a bit sparse at the moment as the writers are weaving strings to attach the story with these planned dungeons, but basic ground design is already underway. Once we hear more core details, the community will be the first to know!

And that is how August unfolded. Before we make our exit, a quick heads-up: A special event is being planned for our community that might materialize sometime in the next month. The details... are still a Work In Progress (*╯-╰)ノ

As usual, we leave you with a cliffhanger while thanking you sincerely for reading and wishing you well as the finisher ^_^ /

Kind Regards,
