- Roadmap 2024-2025: Exciting New Features Coming Soon - 10 October 2024
Hey pilots! I know it has been a while since the last update. Life has been quite busy with various changes and other projects, leaving me with little free time to work on Void Blitzing as much as I’d like. However, now that things have settled down, I’m excited to announce that I’m back to working on the game in my spare time. So far, most of the work has been focused on finding and fixing bugs. Gradually, I’ll be adding some improvements and new features that were pending in a series of updates. What to Expect: First Update will fix a bug related to projectile collisions with certain obstacles. Additionally, weapon sounds will now change pitch gradually, becoming higher as the recoil deviation or maximum temperature increases. This will make it easier to anticipate and control weapon use in chaotic situations. Gamepad support:This is a high priority feature, however given that movemen…
- Update 1.1.0.3 - 19 August 2023
Features: In levels without hazardous events, the gate will automatically alert the enemies if their number is too low and the player is close enough. A screen has been added to the gate to show the number of enemies at which the alarm will be set. The shield now activates automatically at the beginning of each level unless the previous level was cleared with the gate damaged. There is now a map legend to clarify the meaning of each type of point on the map. The gatling turret on the first level now only appears by probability and if it does, it is in place of some other enemy to make the start of the game easier. Now during door hacking, when failing for the 2nd time, the ship is automatically ejected to facilitate escape unless the hacking progress was equal to or greater than half. The laser assault ship now only alerts nearby enemies when its life is less than half. General difficul…
- Update 1.1.0.1 - 7 June 2023
Changes/Features: Adjustments to the Tank variant description text. Ricochet sound effect (Tank variant passive ability) volume increased. Bug Fixes: There was a bug on the map saving that sometimes caused the links between points to be completely random. This issue has now been fixed.
- Update 1.1 Branching Map - 20 May 2023
Changes/Features: Branching system has been fully implemented, after each level you will see a map with multiple paths to choose from, so you can decide what challenges or rewards you want to encounter or avoid on your way to the next level. Rewards system, destroying enemy ships now has a direct impact on your economy! on the bottom right corner of the screen you will see a new bar that represents the ammount of points you are getting for each enemy you destroy, when it is full you'll get 1 credit. Extra ammo can now be purchased on the upgrade level. Event generation and mining base spawning has been completely reworked to make use of the map. Blackholes no longer destroy the ship (if it has enough hp), instead it will be teleported to a different "universe" appearing on a random level and with a new map.
- Update 1.0.7.5 - 29 April 2023
Changes/Features: The shield energy level now regenerates over time instead of going back to a 100. When switching off the shield, the shield bar will flash until the cooldown to reactivate it is over. 3 Alert levels have been added to gate hacking: -First level, will alert the enemies. -Second level will spawn a "Guard" ship. -Third level will block the hacking. Branching progress: As some of you may know, I am working on a branching system for the game and I am happy to report that the path generation is working and with multiple branches. I expect to have a basic version ready for testing by next week. Stay tuned for more details and thank you for your support!
- How Branching Paths Will Change the Way You Play Void Blitzing! - 22 April 2023
Hello everyone! I have some exciting news to share with you today. I’m working on a new feature for Void Blitzing that will add more variety and challenge to your gameplay: branching paths! Branching paths will let you choose the next level on a map with different paths that branch out, so you can customize your own adventure and replayability. You will also encounter some special events and surprises along the way, so be prepared for anything! This feature is still in development and not ready to be shown yet, but I wanted to give you a sneak peek of what I’m planning. Here is some concept art that I made to illustrate how branching paths could look like in Void Blitzing. Please note that this is not final art or gameplay, and it may change or be delayed depending on how the development goes. I hope you are as excited as I am about this feature and I would love to hear your feedback an…
