It’s finally here! The Void Invaders Ultra Update (version 1.7.0) is now live. Here’s a list of all the new features and changes:

• 30 new enemies
  
• 2 new bosses
  
• 1 new powerup

New achievements

• Wave Master
  
• Completed
  
• Hardcore player

New skin with rainbow (!!!) bullets
Various other things we probably forgot to mention

New features (other)

Improved menu
Improved statistics screen
Improved extras screen
Optimisation and performance improvements

Bug fixes

Linux!

We’ve finally managed to port Void Invaders to Linux! Right now, the official supported distros are Debian and its most common variants, including Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu. Other distributions may work, but you’ll have to install the required libraries manually, and we currently can’t offer support. If you use Debian (or one of its friends), you can use the “Play install dependencies” launch option to install necessary libraries, after which the game can be played.

Linux-specific bugs can be reported here.

Many thanks to our friend Flippylosaurus who helped with troubleshooting and who created the install scripts.

About Music Mode

We’d like to apologise again for Music Mode not being released with this update. Real life got in the way and we didn’t find time to turn it into something worth playing. That’s why we decided to postpone it indefinitely.

That’s all folks!

We’re pretty sure that this will be the last major update for Void Invaders (though we’ll stick around and try to fix any bugs you may find). We’ve had a great time working on Void Invaders, but everything comes to an end. After having worked on it for nearly two years, we’re ready to start working on something new.

Having a game on Steam truly has been an amazing experience, so thank you all for supporting us. We also genuinely hope you guys will enjoy the new update.

By the way, Void Invaders is 83% off right now as well! Be sure to spread the word!

Have fun and thanks for playing Void Invaders!!!

Hi guys,

The Void Invaders Ultra Update is almost there! It will feature a new game mode, new levels and enemies, a new skin, additional settings and options, performance and general improvements, bug fixes and more!

We’re sorry we’ve kept you guys waiting so long, and we have some bad news as well. Personal problems, combined with a lack of motivation, have forced us to indefinitely postpone Music Mode. Apologies to those who were looking forward to it!

Right now, we’re tweaking the last couple things, while a friend is working on getting the Linux build working. We hope to have the update done as soon as possible (yes, we’ve said this before, but it’s for real now!)

Thanks for sticking with us.

• Music Mode (with leaderboards!)
  
• More settings, including auto-fire, gamepad vibration and control remapping
  
• New achievements
  
• Steam Cloud saves
  
• Polishing, balancing and bug fixing
  
• Improved menu
  
• More rewards for beating the game and new game modes
  
• A lot of other stuff that we either forgot to mention or is super secret

So without further ado, here are some sneak peeks of the Upcoming Ultra Update:






We realise we’ve made you wait for quite a while now, but we’re going to do our best to finish the update as soon as we can!

We’d also like to thank you guys for your support. It has been a blast so far to work on Void Invaders!

Hey everyone,

Hope you’re having fun playing Void Invaders! As we have mentioned before, we are working on another huge content update. Here are a couple things we will be adding:

• Hardcore Mode: beat ultra-hard levels with new enemies and bosses
  
• Music Mode: get the highest score before the track ends
  
• New achievements
  
• New leaderboards
  
• New powerups
  
• New skins
  
• Steam Cloud saves
  
• Polishing, balancing and bug fixing
  
• More settings/options
  
• AlienFX integration

Additionally, we’re looking into bringing the game to Linux, but we might delay that until another update. We want to make sure the game is great before attempting to port it!

Since this update is going to be really big, it’s going to take us a while to get everything ready. We’re not sure when we’ll be releasing it yet, but we’ll definitely keep you updated.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please post them in the discussions! We’d also be happy to hear your thoughts about this update.

Thanks for reading and for playing Void Invaders!
