Hello everyone!

Today we go with something a bit different but that I'm very excited to show you all about! And is that I'm proud to announce that RAVENSBURG now has its own Journal System!:

I have to thank all the players who suggested this feature on Discord. Despite not being the fastest server out there, I read every suggestion and comment. And all of you are invited to join and give your own opinions too!

Now, everyone knows all serious RPGs must have their own journal or at least a closet equivalent to keep track of quests, tasks, missions and the multiple chores and diversions thrown at players in their long and turbulent journey.

After all, being a Vampire investigator is not easy. Dreadful forces, devilish nightmares and endless temptations linger around every corner. That's why a journal is so important, so you don't get jumped by that werewolf you forgot to shoot a few hours back.

This system is certain to be carried to our future games developed in the future!

Features:

• Decorated and Embellished with Gothic Motifs and Design. You didn't think I was letting you down with some run-of-the-mil minimalist UI design, do you? As fans of the Gothic genre, we're firm supporters of MAXIMALISM and overdecoration.

• Written in 1st Person. A proper Journal doesn't break the immersion of the player; and this one always will take the protagonists point of view in its descriptions and hints.

• Dynamic and Easy to Use. The Journal can be accessed from the beginning of the game through the menu at any given moment.

• Minor Bug Fixes. Cherubim's Hand from Rosaire can now be used in allies instead of enemies.

• Alektor's CG can now be found in the Codex Memoriam. If the players have advanced his relationship. It was previously missing but now that's fixed.

• Removed typos.

• All the changes are retroactive! So old players will be able to enjoy these fixes even if they're in the middle or at the endgame.

Stay tune because Halloween is not over, and the spooky season may HAVE other surprises. Like always, if you enjoy these updates leaving a review on the Steam Page is a great way to help them and the game!

See you soon~.

In Frosthaven, you’ll be testing your skills against an array of menacing enemies. It’s time to shine the spotlight on them, so you can learn more about them and increase your chances of survival out there in the cold!

The Abael are one of the many peoples inhabiting the fringes of the Empire. They have so far managed to avoid the bureaucratic grasp of Imperial authority, primarily because they live underwater. Tax collection from the depths of the Biting Sea is still a bit beyond the Empire’s capabilities, and the Abael so far have been capable of exploit that gap to maintain their autonomy.

Dubbed the 'Fishmen' by the Frosthaven folk, these amphibious beings are believed to originate from the waters of the Biting Sea. While they can survive on land for extended periods, their skin must remain constantly hydrated. Abael achieve this through internal reservoirs of water, which they release through specialized glands to keep their skin moist and their bodies vital. How long they can sustain themselves on land remains unknown - but whether due to physical limitation or by choice, sightings of Abael on land are rare. This limited presence in Frosthaven is probably fortunate, given that the locals’ favorite pastime seems to be violent conflict.

Life in the Biting Sea brings the Abael into frequent contact with the Lurkers, the massive crustaceans that dominate these waters. Unsurprisingly, most recorded witness accounts of the Abael, alongside the fishermen’s tales spread at the “Pit”, describe violent clashes between the two. For mercenary parties venturing into these waters, it is almost inevitable that they will cross paths with the Abael, even if only briefly.

Little is known about their military tactics, but the Abael are enigmatic, resourceful, and more than capable of holding their own against the Lurkers - a testament to their skill. Familiarity with Abael behavior, even if limited, is essential for anyone hoping to survive encounters in the northern seas.


The backbone of any Abael war party seems to be the Abael Scout. To be clear, the name is somewhat misleading - they’re not “scouts” in the sense of serving strictly reconnaissance duties. Rather, the title comes from their behavior in combat, which closely mirrors that of the more familiar (and equally troublesome) Algox Scout.

Like their Algox counterparts, Abael Scouts are frighteningly quick to close the distance, darting across the battlefield with unnerving agility. Also much like them, you’ll never know whether the next strike will come from an arm’s length or halfway across the field, as their weapon of choice - a finely crafted spear - serves equally well for melee or ranged attacks.

They share another, somewhat more fortunate trait with the Algox: an odd tendency to idle mid-battle, so long as you’re not directly in their face, that is. You’d be wise to take advantage of those rare moments - they don’t last long.

Far more important, however, is what sets them apart from the Algox. The Abael truly distinguish themselves through precision and lethality. Their fine motor control and quick reflexes make every strike count. Though their frames are slimmer, they somehow hit even harder than the bulky Algox. Worse still, their spears are almost always tipped with poison, turning even a glancing blow into a lingering hazard.

Fortunately, they lack the sheer durability of their northern counterparts. Their blows may sting like a scorpion, but their defenses are paper-thin in comparison. Even a mediocre mercenary can bring one down in a strike or two - if they’re quick about it.

TL;DR: treat them as a priority, but not a panic. Dispatch them early - it’s always nice not to have to worry about a poisoned spearhead aimed between your eyes - and, for the love of all that’s sane, bring a means to heal.


The Abael Herders, on the other hand, are unlike anything you’ve likely faced before. Their name might conjure peaceful, pastoral images - but don’t let it fool you. The “flock” these Herders tend are Piranha Pigs, and wherever the Herders go, they bring that snapping, squealing nightmare with them.

Now, a lone Piranha Pig isn’t the worst thing you’ll meet around Frosthaven. In fact, running into one might even be a cause for celebration - they’re delightfully tasty, after all. But when you face them in a pack under the direction of a Herder, well… suddenly, you’re the one on the menu.

On the battlefield, the Herder spends most of its time directing its flock, granting the pigs greater mobility and even additional attacks. If it were just one Herder to one pig, that’d be manageable - but it never is. A single Herder can often command every Piranha Pig within range, and when multiple Herders work together, their coordination somehow makes the pigs even deadlier. Before long, the math of your predicament starts to spiral out of control.

To make matters worse, Herders don’t rely solely on the pigs they bring with them. They can call to the wild ones nearby, summoning even more Piranha Pigs into the fray. The sooner you thin their ranks, the better.

Isolated from their flock, an Abael Herder is manageable - though not harmless. They’re tougher than they look and can take a few solid hits before going down. Armed with daggers, they’ll fight both up close and at range, and they won’t hesitate to toss their fishing nets to immobilize you and drag you into striking distance.

Their most dangerous trick, however, is a devastating strike whose range and power scale with the number of Piranha Pigs on the field. The more pigs remain, the harder and farther the Herder can hit, and if left unchecked, this can reach truly catastrophic and inescapable proportions.

So when you spot one, think carefully. Sometimes you’ll want to bring down the Herder first. Other times, it’s wiser to thin the swarm. And if you ever find one alone - well, you might just have the rare luxury of waiting for it to bring dinner to your table before striking it down.

v0.9.b_1h2 has been released to 'beta' and 'default'. Report issues and bugs in the Steam Forums.

Saves from v9b1 should be compatible with this hotfix.

Known Issues: Sometimes, on Windows, when opening the game, the Graphical's window will not launch. This seems to be random and unrelated to any game code. For now, if this happens, I recommend opening the game repeatedly in short succession until the executable is allowed to boot up.

• Battles the player is viewing but not part of correctly perform realtime combat waiting in Graphical.

• Minor text, description, display, and menuing fixes.

• Wounds, Weapon Qualities, Armor Traits, and Attack Bonuses show tips defining the terms in their effects. These can be disabled with the new Always Show Tips indicator setting, in which case they will only appear in the manual.

• Death Punishments display what penalty they have when received and when applying in combat. (Linked to Combat Notes display setting.)

• Tutorials on receiving multiple/all death Punishments and how to recover. (Linked to Extra Tutorial Text setting.)

• Weapon's Battlescore is tested against unleveled gear, resulting in more accurately scaling stats. (The old system was needed when damage didn't scale linearly against older gear, which is no longer the case.)

• Improved error messages on Graphical connection failure to indicate that the problem is likely the window failing to open rather than a connection issue.

• Minor new feedback and tutorials.

• Fixed a bug that allowed access to chamber 201, which should be blocked off currently
  
• Successfully tested the system to force a book title reroll on one of the books in chamber 104 (which had a semi-inappropriate title)

We are beyond excited, because in a few weeks time you will be able to download Devoid V3, and give it a go on the world's best PC gaming platform (dont @ me Epic Games). In short, this move makes downloading and interacting with us significantly easier.

Yes. And deliberately so. We wanted to put ourselves out there now, because it allows us to collect wishlists over time. Wishlists ultimately will determine our fate. So if you like the game and want to see it do well, make sure to smash that wishlist button. Get your friends to wishlist, maybe even Grandma if she’s up to it. I know my Grandma will.

Because Devoid focuses on skill, strategy, and replayability rather than a fixed story, playing early won’t spoil the game. Instead, it offers a sweet opportunity for you to influence its evolution and help us build a challenging, polished twin-stick shooter. We have a great Discord community where we discuss game ideas, and Jakub and I share behind the scenes development.

The full version of Devoid will expand on the foundation we’ve already built. The core gameplay, skill-based combat, dungeon-like map, energy management, and station-to-station progression is already in place and won’t change dramatically.

Yes, we have a build of https://devoid-game.itch.io/devoid(The soundcloud of videogames).

Watch months of progress in just 7 minutes:

Alright. Digitdill out. Back to the lab with Jakub.

Forward this to a friend who needs some Devoid in their life fr.

We are still in the trenches ceremonial grounds, squishing bugs following the update's launch. Expect at least another hotfix in the next couple of day to get rid of the remaining bugs.

• Fixed an issue that could softlock your run if you save and quit after killing the boss, but before making the tribute rites.

• Fixed lifted object sometimes being dropped/socketed before reaching the socket.

• Fixed game resolution booting in 16:10 aspect ratio.

• Fixed being unable to changes options that aren't sliders in the option menu.

• Fixed god communion background issue.

• Fixed issue with tutorial and save system.

• Fixed some dialogues during phase 2 with Kessessa playing the wrong texts.

• Fixed sculptor being duplicated during phase 2.

• We are aware of an issue than can block the throw in a weird state until you press recall button.

• Some cultist animations might play improperly.

• We are looking at ways to make the save and quit also keep track of any catalyst and relics your followers are carrying.

• We want to make Kessessa's building keep track of its progression in between test of faith and when you save and quit.

This new section will now list features and improvements that we are adding to our roadmap planning following player feedback and/or issues that the team judged worth tackling. Keep on telling us how you feel about the game and we'll do our best to focus on what the community is asking for!

• (Community feedback) We are looking at improvements for the symbol recognition, but these might have to wait for the bigger updates planned in the roadmap.

• (Community feedback) More resolutions and aspect ratio support

If you are wondering what we have planned for upcoming content, you can refer to our roadmap on Worship's store page!
