Hey guys!

We’ve got a couple things for you today.

First of all, Void Invaders turned 1 this week. Woohoo! We’d like to thank the awesome guys at Black Shell Media for bringing Void Invaders to Steam and of course everyone who has played it for the great feedback.

Secondly, we’ve published a small-ish update for you to enjoy. It features new highscore lists, meaning you can now see the top scores as well as your friends’ scores for both Endless and Wave mode. We’ve also added performance improvements and a couple bug fixes. The start-up problem when running the Steam Client beta should be fixed now.
The current version is 1.4.0.

We’re still working on adding more content to the game. If you have any suggestions, please let us know in the discussions!

Last of all, we’ve updated the promotional art to be more consistent across Steam. It’s a bit different, but we hope you like it!

Hey guys and gals!

It’s been a while since the last update, but today we’re releasing another one! This update isn’t that big of a deal -- some fixes and tweaks that make Void Invaders a bit nicer.

Here’s what we’ve added and changed:

Added:

• More settings (separate music and sound volumes)
  
• Settings have been added to the pause screen
  
• Enemy list (unlocks after you beat level 30)

Improved:

• HUD (powerup timers are more readable)
  
• Splash screen (it’s shorter now!)
  
• Settings (separate sections for different settings)
  
• Main menu

Miscellaneous:

• Fixed a lot of bugs
  
• Controller support is now more stable
  
• More optimisation
  
• Scores load from the Steam leaderboards

The current version is 1.3.5.

Have fun and thanks for playing!

Hey guys!

As some of you may have seen already, the soundtrack DLC for Void Invaders is finally available!

Grab it for free here.

It features up-beat tracks by Kingdaro. If you enjoy his music, be sure to check out his SoundCloud!

You might notice that the DLC page says "Play Game". Just ignore that, we're getting it sorted out.

Changes:

Hey everyone!

First of all: happy Halloween!

Secondly: we’re working on a new update -- which will be packed with new content and huge improvements!

Here’s a few things that are going to be added:

• 10 brand new levels, including 2 challenging bosses
  
• An improved ranking system
  
• A new game mode, including leaderboards
  
• A lot more enemies
  
• New achievements
  
• Free soundtrack DLC
  
• Bug fixes, gameplay improvements and polishing

We’ve also decided to remove all difficulties, since an improved ranking system will be added.
Honestly, it didn’t add any value to the gameplay and just made everything more complicated and unstable. Due to this, the play time might be a bit shorter, but we’ve already partially made up for this with the new levels. We promise we’ll add new level packs in the future too!

We're expecting to release the update around November 14th.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please let us know in the comments.

Thanks for playing Void Invaders!
