We know we've been a little quiet recently... and that's because we've got some exciting things going on in the background to bring Void Sols to the next level. As a result, we are excited to announce that Void Sols is now signed with a publisher!
We've dropped a few FAQs below to help answer any questions/concerns:
What does this mean for the game? Ultimately, it means we will be looking to make the game bigger and better. Refining what's great about the game already and adding more content and a greater experience. One of our goals in the upcoming months is to share a roadmap of what the journey to 1.0 looks like.
Who is your publisher? Whilst we can't share information on our publisher at this stage, we can say that we're really looking forward to working with them and have already been undertaking changes and updates to the game alongside them. Keep an eye out for updates early next year when we do the big reveal!
Will I lose access to the free prologue? At the moment we are planning on keeping the prologue available to all players. This allows us to keep receiving your feedback and ensuring that Void Sols is on the right track. We will be creating a new Steam page for the latest version of the game too and will share more information around that when it's in a good position.
All of us at Finite Reflection are really excited to share more soon, and we hope you're all just as excited as we are!

"In war, patience is a rare skill that is always rewarded." – Forrix
Update v3.2.2 has just been released on all platforms. It fixes the interaction between Vantage and other traits such as Flank and Berzerk, and brings a new set of voice lines for Forrix.
Hope you are doing fine! This is a huge patch, with new elements and balance changes!
Bestiary added
Each time you encounter new beasts you can read a bit about their behavior and stats. Hopefully this will help you overcome the challenging battles!
Battle music added
Makes the battle scenario separate a bit better from the over world!
New beast
Wanted a new beast that forces you to move around, it's like a smarter slug!
Balance changes
Mushlings
Buffs - Svampling hp 4 -> 5 - Ozzling hp 3 -> 4 - Burnlings and Bomblings are immune against explosions
Some mushlings got some more health as they are tricky to handle.
Nerfs - Buffling hp 4 -> 3
With certain mushlings this could become a bit too strong, now you need to defend it more I hope.
Beasts
Berf Cheerful pig - Hp 3 -> 4 - Attack 2 -> 1
Nerf Hyper Deer Hp 3 -> 2
This nerf will probably affect the gameplay the most as it is one of the first beasts you encounter in the game. Hopefully this makes it a little easier to reach the end game.

Glad to see all of ya' enjoying Chapter 3 and the Full version of Blood West. Whether you have just started your journey through the Barren Lands or you are about to return for a second run, we have a little something for you, a new Archetype Showcase!
Archetype Showcase - Gunslinger
If you are looking for unparalleled flexibility without compromising your firepower then the Gunslinger archetype may be just for you. Just make sure to keep your cowboy hat and shoes in your inventory - otherwise it does not count!
Enemy Showcase - Defiler
Have you ever had something that lived inside your head rent-free ? In case of the Defiler, it ain't memes but a parasitic entity dubbed the Hell-bat. While the carrier does not pose that much of a threat, for the Barren Lands standards that is, the content of its head definitely does. Be careful, as any damage to the head may prompt the Hell-Bat to leave its host and jump ship. And who knows, maybe it will decide to make your head its new home.
