Void Descent v1.1.4 Patch Notes

This update marks a major milestone with the official launch of our Steam Store page! It also introduces a full 50-achievement progression system, a complete overhaul to ship unlock requirements, key weapon rebalancing, and several requested quality-of-life enhancements.

Steam Page is Live!

• An option can now be found in the main menu to wishlist Void Descent on Steam.
• I will be working on PC/Steam specific features such as Cloud Saves, Offline Mode, Steam Stats, and Steam Achievements before the official Steam launch.

Achievement System

• A full in-game achievement system has been implemented with a total of 50 achievements for players to work toward.
• Achievement progress can be tracked at any time in the Profile tab of the Settings page.

Ship Unlock Requirements

The requirements for ship unlocks have been reworked. Now, each unlockable ship requires a set currency cost as well as a unique achievement that correlates with that ship's playstyle and theme:

• Engineer: Requires "Field Commander" – Destroy 7,500 enemies with deployed weapons (Energy Pylons, Collapsar Mines, Toxic Barrage).
• Disruptor: Requires "Crowd Control" – Have 20+ enemies slowed, frozen, or stunned at the same time.
• Vanguard: Requires "Unbreakable" – Reach 500 Max HP and 50 armor in a single run, and finish it alive.
• Reaper: Requires "Dance With Death" – Get 20,000 close-range kills.
• Catalyst: Requires "Elemental Convergence" – Proc Pyro, Cryo, Bio, and Volt in the same run.

NOTE: Any player who has already unlocked a ship via the old requirements will NOT lose them!

Weapon Balance

• Ricochet Disc: Base range has been reduced and each bounce now has damage falloff. This weapon was previously outputting more damage than intended, especially at higher levels.

Quality of Life / Misc Updates

• Added a setting to turn camera shake on or off.
• Added green healing text when gaining HP from any source, making it easier to visualize health regen ticks, health packs, and health upgrades.
• Save file backup and restore options have been moved to their own Data tab in the settings page.
• A subtle animation in and out has been added to upgrade modals during a run, making the momentary pause in gameplay feel a bit smoother.

Thank you as always for all the testing, feedback, and support! Getting the Steam page live is a massive step forward for Void Descent, and your wishlists make a huge difference in helping spread the word.
