• Sync. Error: the AI modified a random number generator in the core game loop it shouldn't cause all clients to be out of sync after a short time (butterfly effect).
  
• Sync. Error (minor): auto-entering a captured unit such as a chinook could potentially lead to synchronization issues (code removed).
  
• Modding Intro: there is now a introduction video for modding available on YouTube at https://youtu.be/d7ZMeS9HkXk
  
• Modding /w Custom Units: explains how to create your own custom units and such. Available on YouTube at https://youtu.be/lVFtDx7VcRw
  
• Modding: the editor now allows exporting the raw object graphics used by the game. Available via "Export Graphics" in the [Edit] menu. This can be used as a starting point to potentially fully customize troops and structures and more.
  
• Modding: the "custom" folder in a template.ZIP now contains a working tank model example on how to add e.g. a custom tank graphics. Comments included!
  
• Modding: I updated the template.ZIP with the latest fixes and balancing (e.g. bullet hovertank with wrong sound FX). Please apply it and upload a map update if you have the map uploaded to the server. Thanks!
  
• Modding Manual: updated with image formats and sound formats supported. Also further detail on map uploads and versioning.
  
• Modding: 2-figure dialog can now also be configured to have the 1. figure blank (just on right-hand side). Used in campaign and for triggers.
  
• Modding: Fluffy added as dialogue character (pending final graphics). template.ZIP updated also.
  
• Language: latest translations added - Thanks :-D
  
• Maintenance: keeping better track of sync. errors in the 'pass'-grid by storing additional details.
  
• Bugfix: change the '+' keyboard shortcut to '=' key as it seems to work more reliably (can be adjusted in the settings as needed).
  
• Bugfix: the redirect to a website didn't work on Steam if the Steam overlay was disabled.
  
• Bugfix: there was a crash creating a multiplayer game.
  
• Bugfix: updating a map with custom assets didn't properly retain the new assets during the update (it required re-loading the map to properly work).
  
• Bugfix: spawning function only spawns the commander once (no commander re-spawn).
  
• Bugfix: setting up a trigger that spawns troops didn't work properly.
  
• Bugfix Crashes: if the job target had the wrong type (possible due to sync. error?).
  
• Bugfix Crashes: if a host we move to had the wrong type, i.e. not a host.

Thank you very much and Goodluck!
Cheers~!!! ❤
Regards,
Luminary Global Team.

We're so excited! Only 5 more days until launch! Early Access will be here very soon! Are you ready?

We tried our best to answer most asked questions of the early access from you, and please find out below;  If you have other questions that aren't covered or want to have a deeper conversation with us, please join our Discord server. We can talk more there!

Sandrock will launch in early access first, and the early access price is $24.99; yes, purchasing the retail copy of the game in Early Access is cheaper than buying it on its full launch day. The Early access player doesn't need to buy it again, the game will automatically upgrade to the full launch version.

The early access version released on May 26 does not include the multiplayer mode. We are planning to test the multiplayer once or twice in this summer. But we're still working on the details on how to register it (may not open for everyone at the early beta testing stage), please keep your eyes on us, and we'll let you know more about the multiplayer testing later. Once the multiplayer gets stable, we will open a time-limited public test to all early access users. All in all, the multiplayer is estimated to be added to Sandrock later this year.

The multiplayer mode can support 4 players in an open world map, separate from the single-player map. Players will be able to work, fight, and dungeon dive together in a multiplayer-specific world with missions and storylines. The multiplayer storyline is different from the current events of the single player storyline. You can view it as an alternative compressed timeline that chronicles what happens before the player arrives in Sandrock in single player.

Yes, we signed a professional company called Gemiuster Media Ltd to work on the Voice Actings together; Sandrock's VA will be in Chinese and English, and EA will have some Voice Actings of main quests and a few side quests in English. We'll keep working and adding more Voice acting during the entire early access phrase. Full VA support will be available in the Full launch.

We are working on the currently implemented systems first, so you may have to wait for an exact answer as to how many. You'll experience a dinner date, fireworks, sand painting, and a chat in the oasis in the Early Access version. The romance will be mostly like Portia, but romance AI is one of the things we are working to improve this time around! In addition to holding hands, we're trying to make the NPCs a little more emotional, such as getting jealous will be implemented in the future sometime after the EA launch. And in the future, Sandrock will add the feature of kids growing up to at least elementary school age. So, the full release will have more content than Portia has.

According to our beta players' experience, you can expect around 20-30 hours to finish the Early access main stories missions, meet around 40 unique NPCs, and experience more than 100 side quests. But it can be variable up to your play style. After you finish the main stories, you can still take a commission from the commerce, play-date with characters, complete side quests, explore the world and collect resources, enjoy holiday events and mini-games, etc.

And we know you want to learn more about Logon, the most wanted person in Sandrock...We appreciate all that interests in Logan, but we don’t have that much information about him right now. All we can say is he is a very mysterious man in Sandrock, and he is the most wanted person nearby. Come and see for yourself!

When you click "Start Game", you need to select the second item to experience the test version, because it is different from the original RPG MAKER production system, it will not affect the original progress, so you can switch at any time!

First of all, thank you for your purchase, because of the previous RPG MAKER
version performance and functionality has a lot of limitations, many content
can not be properly presented, so we decided to start over from scratch,
because it is an independent production, this is also about to spend all my
resources and economy, I hope you will like!

**Test content is not official content, and there is no adult screen for the time being**
**We will continue to complete the content and release the official version as soon as possible, please wait for our news**

Important: Please lower texture resolution or restart the game if you experience crashes / issues. We're working on it!

Good luck, and have fun!




Most, if not all, weapons now have jump attacks. This'll add some more mobility to your gameplay, similar to the katana charge move. Let us know how it feels!

Inventories, equipment, and money are now saved to each character! Let us know if there are any issues! We definitely don't want anyone's save files to break in Early Access, so any save/load issues would be highly appreciated.

In the full game, we're planning to have a persistent player inventory that's tied to the character. Other things like personal skill trees and mastery levels will also be saved. We've had this system on our end for a while, but this is the first time we're pushing out some semblance of saving/loading to the public.

We're also testing out our item attributes for the first time. They won't be save/loaded properly yet, because we're still fleshing them out.

In the full version of Saleblazers, we're imagining a large variety of item attributes that are applied differently -- some on hit, on wear, on equip, on consume. We have a personal skill tree that allows you to make unique builds, but our vision for the game is to have the clothing & items define your playstyle. Healers wear chef hats, tanks don riot gear, and gunslingers will be decked out in cool robes. Clothes that offer damage bonuses give no HP, and vice versa.

The first 3 attributes we'll be pushing out are HP, armor, and movement speed attributes. For now in the playtest build, they can be found by looting enemies in the enemy spawner area. Next up, we'll add damage and healing modifiers.




We're hard at work building & refining our shopkeeping systems in the open world map (not in the playtest build). We've also got a few more interns to help us polish up our tutorial level in the main story.

Being a systemic game, we've run into a lot of crazy situations. Here's an example of our customers accidentally punching each other in our store which caused district rangers to arrive:



We're also working on bringing an open world building/survival mode to the playtest build, so stay tuned for that! Some of your buildings may make it into the main game as NPC shops.


Known Issues:
- Clients do not hear footsteps on terrain
- Revive locations may not be synced because other players sometimes ragdoll twice

New Additions:
- AI in the playtest map now have factions. Boars, cowboys, police, and ronin will fight each other.
- New combat wave challenge with new enemies
- New attack + jump attack moves for a lot of items
- Changed sprint animation to feel more visceral
- Small and club-like weapons have jump attacks now
- Added a new sprinting attack for club-like items
- Added HP, armor, and movement attributes to items
- Added armor back to the game
- Player inventory is now persistent, meaning any clothes/items you equip will be carried over to future playthroughs
- Money is now saved to the character
- AI don't parry anymore unless they're high enough tier to do so

Major Bug Fixes:
- Fixed various null reference exceptions
- Fixed a bug where when loading into a map with a lagging host, the client sees the skybox and cannot connect
- Fixed a bug where when killing an enemy their HP would stay at 0 but they wouldn't be destroyed

Minor Bug Fixes:
- Fixed consumable bar jittering around
- Fixed AI meshes not interpolating properly, which made them look jittery
- Fixed being stuck in a knockdown state if you don't hav eenough stamina
- AI no longer parry other AI
- Fixed buggy camera movement when in ragdoll mode
- Fixed ranged enemies sometimes not firing at the player

Hello everyone!

I wanted to take the time to update you all on what’s going on behind the scenes. It’s been a bit of time since the big Hidden update, so lets recap what’s going on, how things went, and what’s next!

To cut a long story short, the Hidden Update (from pretty much all accounts) was a great success! A massive thank you to everyone who has reached out with feedback — it was great to see such a positive reaction around the changes.

The Numbers
We had some target numbers in mind when it comes to win rates etc that we really wanted the new Hidden to fall into. As of right now, everything has trended upwards, and numbers fall (for the most part), within 1% of our goal. This is so great to see, The Hidden and the Tempest are both now sitting very close (no really, like… REALLY close) to each other in power level, win rate etc. Excatly what the goal was.

The Response
But its not just about numbers for me! Always its important to know how the class feels to play — and on that front, its been almost exclusively positive as well. A lot of people commenting about the new changes to the artifact, the free combo, and being able to spend it now more willingly. The Hidden has been revitalised in a lot of peoples eyes, and people are enjoying the new power level.

Thank you again to everyone who has reached out, left comments, DM’ed me, chatted in the Discord etc. The only way to know how this stuff feels is to hear it from you all, and I appreciate anyone who takes the time to do so!

All in all, a great step forward for the Hidden and Vault of the Void overall. I’m excited to move onto the next class focus, the Enlightened.

Work is already underway on the Enlightened changes. I will preface this by saying —don’t expect a major overhaul on anything with him. Right now he’s in a pretty decent spot, and the focus will be just bumping numbers up in a few places, adding a bunch of new cards, and addressing a few pain points (2 cost Openers, 2 costs in general etc). This process is already underway and you can expect to hear more about this next week as it moves into testing!

Right now, when not spending time in the trenches discussing/changing the Enlightened, all my time is spent working on the new resolution changes for the game. The goal with this was primarily to extend support now to Ultra Wide screen monitors, and also address the “black bars” that appear on certain resolutions. It also means that when the game extends to handheld devices (Steam Deck, iPad, Switch etc), it will conform perfectly.

This is a pretty major overhaul to be honest. I’ve spent around 3 days on it full time so far, and only have 3 screens or “rooms” fully converted. When I first started working on Vault, I had zero knowledge when it came to programming, let alone game development. Ideally, this would have been something the game supported from the beginning — however now it's just something I have to cycle back and retrofit. I’ve learnt a lot in the last 3 years!

The downside to this, is just time. I need to continue working on this to ensure it's ready for the Enlightened update, and splitting an update its tough. I’m hoping the rest comes together pretty smoothly over the next week or so, but I apologise in advance if it delays the updates for a week or so as I get it all finalised. Once done, the game will have a proper resolution selector, it scales to the game window and scales all game assets in the same way.

Sorry again that this fall right in the middle of development — but once done we’ll be in a great place moving forward!

Over the last week or so we hit a very amazing milestone! 1000 total steam reviews — unreal! Thank you to everyone who took the time to leave a review over the past 18 months. I’ve mentioned it before, but Vault doesn’t have a big marketing team or publisher behind it at all. Steam Reviews are the main way Vault gets out and shared with others, and hence I’m extremely thankful.

I previewed an alternative Affliction card artwork pack a while back, featuring the Treasure Goblin himself! The next patch I’ll include instructions on how to claim this in game, as a big thank you to you all for helping Vault become what it is!



That’s all from me for now! Thanks again to everyone for playing and enjoying Vault of the Void. The journey so far has been incredible and I’m excited for the future.

Take care, all for now!
- Josh
