- HARD VOID halfway in development - 13 July 2026
Hello! I am just here to announce the plans of HARD VOID. Development continues steadily, and I want to thank you all again for your support. This is a full solo project: I code, write the lore, design the UI, direct the art style, compose the music, make the 3d models, and do the marketing by myself. Even the game engine is a custom one. It's a lot of work, but HARD VOID is my work of art. Your bug reports, comments, feedback, help, support, and enjoyment mean a lot to me. Thank you. Also, I will be grateful if you could add a review when you consider it appropriate. It will help me a lot.If you wish to give direct comments or just chat, there is the official discord https://discord.gg/bsg6eZ4e3HWith the latest updates for HARD VOID v0.13.X, ramming was introduced, and the tech tree advanced to the mid-game range. Also, the previous update included the design of ground units: Tanks, se…

- HARD VOID Early Access v0.12.0 - 13 May 2026
HARD VOID update v0.12.0 brings a lot of new content for ground battles. Procedural oceans:Oceans are now implemented.Three types of oceans: water, ammonia, and methane. Composition has little effect now, but mechanics will be added later.Also, long naval and air unit design is available: sea ships, submarines, airplanes, and helicopters.Naval units have a large load capacity, but are slower than ground units; on the other hand, aircraft are the opposite. Naval and air unit agility depends on the amount of ocean or atmosphere, respectively.A start condition menu is also added, you can select difficulty and universe size for the moment, other configurations will be added later.
- HARD VOID manual - 17 April 2026
Do you like classical old-school manuals? Due to the sheer amount of details not properly explained in HARD VOID, I am working on a pdf manual detailing many of the internal mechanics. It is not complete yet, but i will be updating regularly to include more details, lore, and other stuff, alongside development.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Q0119A30RdowcSBYm9iMtgKyQ6DJce1K/view?usp=drive_link
- HARD VOID pseudo-roadmap - 7 April 2026
Here is a list of planned major features for HARD VOID release. The order is approximate, and may change. The final decision on when to implement the features is based on keeping the gameplay coherence and making development easier/faster.The pseudo-roadmap will be updated later, adding more features or expanding current ones, as soon has its clear how to integrate and commit to them.Feel free to discuss anything about them in the discord channel or steam forums!

- Irradiation update v0.11.2 - 8 March 2026
In a previous update, the astros irradiation was increased without taking into account habitability penalties. This caused out-of-range value bugs and even showing '?' habitability in fully explored astros. To fix this, the habitability penalties due to irradiation were greatly reduced and adjusted for the new irradiation value range.
- HARD VOID Early Access v0.11.1 - 8 March 2026
HARD VOID Early Access v0.11.1 is available!The changes consist of the expansion of ground unit mechanics, including ship/unit landing and take off. Also a complete rebalance of ship/unit systems is done to accomodate the changes, some UI rework, performance improvements, and bugfixes.In this update, the procedural generator of ground units its fairly functional, the division between ground and space units its blurring. You can design tanks and other ground units that can take off into space, use their warp engine, and land in enemy colonies. There is no distinction between ground and space modules; any unit can have any module within the unit size constraints. The unit load capacity granted by land mobility modules allows units to move on the ground and resist gravity. if the unit load capacity is insufficient for the unit mass and gravity combination, it takes an agility penalty and d…
