Hello Everyone! Void Raiders alpha just received its third update! Past three weeks i spent working on this addition were rough, and if you would ask me last sunday if this one ll be released in time i would reply with “Are you mad?” question.

It was bussy week, but in the end it ended well and i even had full one day just for testing and adding final polishing touches to this release.

Ripper virus research facility

Main feature of this update is the new dungeon, full of rippers and powerfull loot. Rippers are mean creatures and most of the new enemies ll try to attack you from very close distance with their claws or huge power sword in case of Hulk.

New dungeon is much darker than Void Industries Warehouse Complex and i worked with lighs to give this place a desired atmosphere.
On third floor there is boss again, this one is not as straightforward as previous one, but if you ever played any MMO with raid content, you should not have problem with this encounter as you allready know that focusing adds is good idea.

Gameplay changes

Tweaked difficulty a bit and made first dungeon bit easier as its meant as introduction and many had problems to even reach the boss on third floor.
In addition levels were reduced in size by almost half. I experimented with level sizes a bit and im open for suggestions, but in my opinion i found the right formula to bring you desired experience.

Please note current game content is meant as “level up” quests, endgame missions ll be something completely different.

Gudrun rework

Yes, Gudrun was reworked. When i was designing the Rippers i felt like inside of gamedesign trap with melee character inside top down shmup environment. In addition gudrun feedback was not so great and thats why the decision was made to rework this character.

Dronemancer talents remained almost the same, but Bladedancer branch was replaced with “Assault”. Gudrun was given plasma shotgun and keept her sword only to be used by dash related talent abilities and as a weapon when out of ammo.
Hope you ll enjoy the new gudrun same as i enjoyed redesigning her.

Hope you ll enjoy the new update and will let me know your opinions!
