Heya Voids and Voidettes!

2019 is here! Finally! Hope you all had a great holiday and wonderful break. We feel fully refreshed and ready to make this the best year of our lives. In this update we add a new monster, three new dreams and a brand new song to unlock!

Let’s delve deeper into the new monster:



Unit YouYou? No... it’s Unit Lulu! Our new tutorial battle to help newcomers in getting familiar with the game. Before we relied too much on having players remember the buttons through the cutscenes, but now you actually get to fight the bot in order to learn and remember them!

Thanks to everyone who has supported us so far, we’ve now increased the base price to $9.99 as we stumble even closer to moving out of Steam Early Access.

Towards the end of January we are planning on releasing our other game, Ravva!

Keep your eyes on it, it’s going to be a great retro-inspired platformer, new mechanics combined with a wonderful blast from the past visual!

Coldest Wishes,
The Void

:awoo:

P.S Happy Birthday to the most wonderfullest person in my life, My Mum. :nekoheart:

Heya Voids and Voidettes!

Winter sale is here, and with that, this will be the cheapest the game will ever be. If you haven't had a chance to pick the game up yet, this is the final chance to grab it at an absolute steal of a price. After the sale ends we will be increasing the price of the game to $9.99 to match the quality and content provided with the experience.

In this update, the Void has another addition to the collection of lovable monsters. We introduce to you “Veyeral Rain”. This shy Veyeral will only show her true self if you survive through her gauntlet of Veyerals first.



We have a small few tweaks and an increase of difficulty to some of the monsters, including a level 11 version of the Void.

This is indeed the last update of 2018 and I guess we have to do some emotional parting until next year?!
...So we here at The Hidden Levels and Veyeral Games wish you a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year! Here’s to 2019! We really can’t wait to see you on the other side! <3 <3 <3 <3

We have some real great things planned ahead, including the release of our other game, Ravva and the Cyclops Curse by the talented Team Galope. Don’t forget to also wishlist this too!

Heya Voids and Voidettes!

Veyerals is back in action and ready to provide some awesome updates every two weeks again!

First of all, there have been a lot of adopters during the last 30 days, and we really appreciate all of you so much. Thank you for purchasing the game and believing in us! We are also constantly checking on feedback and looking at user reviews for guidance while being on alert for bugs. It’s also been really fun to see streamers such as RockLeeSmile, Wanderbots, Bananasaurus Rex and many more playing and enjoying the game.

Without further ado, welcome to the Cardiac Event Recorder where you get a summary of what has been added in the updates. In update number 20, we unleash a new monster to love upon the void. This monster is no other than… wait, Two Prismas? Yes, enjoy Dual Prisma!



There is also an abundance of changes and tweaks, as well as bug fixes. Notable changes include the Karma reward page having a new design, Momos murder blossoms being smaller at lower levels and a bunch of bug fixes. The full update log will be posted below.

  Corrected a few typos in some attribute and gift effect descriptions.

• Expect a new monster for the next update and a new, even True-er Final boss is in the works, but not sure when it will be ready.

Heya Voids and Voidettes!

Now is a good time as any to go on sale, and with this we celebrate Halloween by giving a 30% discount to The Void Rains Upon Her Heart.

As the game has increased a lot with content, quality and has had many adjustments, we feel that very soon will be a good time to increase the price in anticipation for full launch.

So that being said, now is the only time to get this game at an absolute low price. We are looking at increasing the price between $9.99 - $12.99 in the very-near-future.

A lot of you reading this will already own the game, but perhaps you may have some friends, family or content creators who would be interested, and again the game being at the cheapest would be a great time to remind them all about it.

Steam250 ranks us as the 43rd best Bullet Hell and SHMUP and also the 121st best game of 2018.
https://steam250.com/tag/bullet_hell#app/790060/The%20Void%20Rains%20Upon%20Her%20Heart

If you've made it this far, I've also got a sneaky secret announcement to make. We will be working with Galope on their next release, Ravva. The storepage where you can wishlist the game to be notified about it's launch is right here:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/945340/Ravva_and_the_Cyclops_Curse/

Thanks once again, I really hope that more people will be able to enjoy the Void over the next few days, weeks, months and hopefully years. :)

I really appreciate each and every one of you, without you this journey thus far would not have been possible.

Most of all, the biggest thank you to Veyerals for showing us what true love looks like.

So let's spread The Void Rains Upon Her Heart all over the place!

Signed,
Kitty Meow! :catpaw::nekoheart:

Heya Voids and Voidettes!

Communication is an extremely important part of being in this industry, we feel too many publishers and developers keep the loyal fanbase and customers in the dark. Under this publishing label, our number one priority is always making sure the customers and fans are fully aware of what we are working on and currently progressing through.

In November, we will be working heavily behind the scenes with Angel (Veyerals) on preparing for the full launch next year. This will require a lot of his time and as a solo developer time allocation is a always a tough thing. (Sadly, he is not a split Veyeral so we’re limited to one Angel.)

All work and no play makes Angel a dull boy. However, to counter this, Angel will be helping his friends over at Moonana finish Virgo vs The Zodiac. (We are not ones to shy away from helping other friends in need.)

Feel free to check out their game and wishlist it as it’s pretty darned cool!!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/920320/Virgo_Vs_The_Zodiac/

The daily updates will continue on The Void Rains Upon Her Heart until the 31st October. Thanks to these updates there has been a plethora of content added through the month and we’re up to 88 blue gifts, 29 monsters and 166 achievements in total.

Angel has slightly tweaked the backgrounds and made some changes to the older card artwork. We’ve also had reports of bugs which we have now thankfully ironed out. Please continue to mention them as we will continue to fix the bugs, even through November.

Thank you so much for your understanding with this, we really appreciate you all so so much.

• Fixed a tiny bug where skipping dialog would skip to the point before a punctuation mark.
  
• Fixed a tiny rotation bug with bouncy enemy bullets.

• Daily Updates will continue until Oct 31st. After this Veyerals will be taking a break from this game in November to help finish up another game that he has been working with a team on. The next update to this game will be on December 6th 2018.

Heya all!

I would like to open this up with an apology for the delay - Sadly Veyerals old HDD died but fortunately he managed to salvage everything before that dreaded moment. A reminder to everyone to make sure you have spare backups and that you keep some space free! (Never fill the drives up to maximum capacity and keep ‘em out the red!)

I wanted to quickly plug a YouTube channel before we get into the meat of this update, this creator goes by the name of SolonFace and has been making a whole plethora of videos on the game. I’ve watched through most of them and love his personality as well as the wonderful guest Quincy who he duos with. I’ve actually stuck around beyond these videos and enjoy his other videos too! (Like, comment and subscribe! XD)

If you created any content or videos for Void or have any streams planned upcoming, please do let us know so we can watch and get involved in the fun!

In this update, we’ve added two new special events including the huggable Scrambla and the hot headed Boiler. You can offer to give them your gifts and they’ll let you pick them up at the start of another run or you can also choose to save them until you have saved up for your very own SUPER SPICY combo!

In the month of October, Veyerals (dev) will be taking on a challenge of adding a new gift a day! This challenge is not limited to just gifts though and may even see surprise Monsters join the frey! This should keep you surprised and entertained throughout all of October unless he gives in to the Void.

• Scrambla and Boiler are preparing a new event for you!

Hail Sithi- the Void!

Hope you’ve been having a good time with the new improved version 3.0 - It’s time to bring you news that we’ve now updated the game to 3.1!

All that glitters, yes that’s the theme of this update. Check out this Gif of one of the changes we have made:



Veyerals (The dev) has also noted that he had to go through every single breakable part on every single monster to put a mote particle spawner, so let us know if any of them seem out of place, he will fix it!

We’ve also made several small changes which will all be posted down below.

Heya my lovelies!

This update is a particularly major one which sees The Void Rains Upon Her Heart evolve from version 2.3 to 3.0!

Those seeking new challenges or easier monsters to love will be appeased to know we’ve added TWO new difficulties; Mist Rain and Torrent Rain!!

The first is particularly good, because it allows me to use the “I tried to catch some fog, but I mist” pun.

CricketSounds.mp3 *Ahem*.........

Mist Rain difficulty is the lowest difficulty which is targeted at newcomers and beginners of the genre. The monsters range from level 1-6 and have a new feature implemented called debuffs.

What this means is that the monsters on Mist Difficulty will have three random downgrades: attack down, speed down and health down.

This is great to us as the game can now be enjoyed by even more gamers from all skill backgrounds.



And of course, talking of skills, the long awaited Torrent difficulty is here too. This blistering difficulty turns the temperature up and overloads some of the monsters. Monsters start from level 7 and go all the way up to 15.

Overloaded monsters will come with three random buffs and like the debuffs can range from attack up, speed up, health up!

We’ve also added some sweet new effects! Charged shots use more effects from normal bullets now including the effects granted by Sine Wave, Anchor, and Multi-Shot gifts

Take a look at this gif below showing it!

• 9 new dreams to fulfill + 2 dreams have been changed (Total: 151)

  (The dreams for completing Light Rain and Heavy Rain have been changed to "Love a level 4" and "Love a Level 8" monster respectively)
  
• The maximum monster level for Heavy Rain has been raised from 11 to 12
  
• Overleveled monsters have been added! The new maximum level is theoretically limitless (Slowly preparing for an endless mode!)
