Hello Triangles! Today we're excited to announce that Void Sols is Steam Deck verified! We've also just rolled out our first major patch, 1.5.2.1. We've added quite a few new features, gameplay changes, community bug fixes, and some more weapon balance changes. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/9b4b8cb409989de90de9b32d566ed18172402c1e.jpg Full patch notes, see below:

New Features

• Apex Horn Statue does something now…
• Frying Pan has a new secret synergy…
• Equipping items play unique sounds!
• All equipment that is picked up should now display a new item icon on the equipment button until hovered over by the player

Gameplay Changes

• Parrying Shield now parries whenever you release the button. Previously you could only tap to parry, meaning holding it did nothing. You can still tap to parry as before, but now you can also hold to ready the parry and release, allowing a bit more depth to parrying gameplay and not punishing the player for holding the button for a bit too long
• Cold Debuff: This was previously dealing entirely too much damage to enemies. We have enough damage-dealing status effects, so we decided to rework this status effect into something that has a different kind of utility. Triggering cold on yourself has been unchanged, you still take a chunk of non-fatal damage, and have your stamina regeneration reduced. If an enemy is affected by cold however, they take stance damage, reduced move speed, and their stance will no longer regenerate until the status depletes.
• The Codebearer puzzle should be a little easier now…
• Zenith Phase 1 has some balance changes, and a small gameplay change that makes it a little harder
• Some items moved around in Cultist Compound for better game progression

Critical Error Fixes

• Player can no longer go out of bounds by going south from Zenith arena
• Infernal Key can still be picked up if you died after defeating Infernal Warden
• Significant fixes to the ritual used to spawn Amalgamate
• Blacksmith and Alchemist no longer ask for more alloy and alembics after you have fully upgraded
• Switch Pro Controller should show proper glyphs on main menu and rebind correctly on controls menu (The menu would break previously)
• Items that cannot be acquired in Challenge runs / Nox Trials no longer show up on maps
• Music will now stop playing forever when quitting to the main menu in some cases

Minor Bug Fixes

• Updated OOBY music track
• No more OOBY farming
• No longer counting certain easter egg items on end screen
• Fixed sprite sorting of miner spin attack effect
• Fixed torches that were rendering as circles instead of diamonds
• Improved sprite sorting of talisman projectiles
• Blue Data Disc now shows up on Apex South Map to help players find the critical progression item
• Added boulder shortcut that was missing on Mountain Map A
• Added analytics for when player goes out of bounds
• Added minor sol shard to Apex Town so the final number of shards is divisible by 6
• Fixed texture loading pop-in in Forest
• Fixed texture sorting issues in Factory
• Fixed texture sorting issues in Cultist Compound
• Fixed camera bug in Apex Town buildings
• Preventing possible Worm boss crash on death
• Added safeguards to errors that sometimes happen with destructibles
• Added a sol shard to the Cultist Compound to even out the sol shard count so that if you find all of them you don’t have one missing
• Fixing some errors with Gatekeeper death and music
• Fixed sorting issue in Shapification Chamber
• Fixed an error that could occur when using controller to rename files
• Adjusted Star Fish collider to be able to be caught from near the light spark
• Fixed a control with a missing icon on some controllers
• Confirmation modals should now close when unpausing the game if they are still open
• Fixed deadzone setting slider text area not scaling correctly
• Music stops properly when using to teleport
• There is no longer an invisible collider in the Groundskeeper arena after completing the fight
• Groundskeeper no longer breaks if you escape the fight and return in the same life
• Heavy shield has a little animation when you block to help communicate that it is doing something
• Minor level design improvements in Mountain blizzard area
• Improved Supermax Prison map
• Fixed some items that were missing in the Village and Forest maps
• Fixed some item types not showing up on maps when they are able to be acquired in a mastery challenge
• Further reduced the chance of a softlock when damaging Immaculate in the transition to phase 2

Balance Changes

Primary Weapons

• Great Hammer Heavy Attack Stance Multiplier
  • Original: 2
  • Updated: 1.5
• Halberd Heavy Attack Stance Multiplier
  • Original: 2
  • Updated: 1.75
• Halberd Light Attack no longer pushes you back, instead advances you forward
• Other Halberd attacks have increased forward momentum, generally increasing reach of this weapon
• Halberd Light Attack hitbox improvements
• Frying Pan Base Damage
  • Original: 10
  • Updated: 8
• Frying Pan Heavy Attack Damage Multiplier
  • Original: 1
  • Updated: 1.25
• Frying Pan Base Stance Damage
  • Original: 15
  • Updated: 9
• Pickaxe Base Stance
  • Original: 30
  • Updated: 20
• Pickaxe Light Attack Stance Multiplier
  • Original: 0.5
  • Updated: 1
  • Note: While the base stance on the pickaxe has been lowered, the basic light attack has been doing 15 stance due to this multiplier. This was confusing because the game would communicate the pickaxe as having 30 stance damage when it was actually doing 15 per light attack. This change makes the UI actually align with the amount of stance the pickaxe does while giving it a minor buff
• Katana now additionally scales on SPD, starting at E
• Katana damage shown in stats better matches actual damage output
• Katana attacks have increased mobility to lean into the power fantasy

Katana Global Damage Multiplier

• Original: 1
• Updated: 1.25

Dual Handaxe Global Damage Multiplier

• Original: 0.75
• Updated: 1

Dual Handaxe Combo Attack Damage & Stance Modifier

• Original: 1
• Updated: 1.25

Dual Handaxe Damage Scaling

• Original: SPD: D, DEX: E
• Updated: SPD: E, DEX: F

• Gauntlets Light Attack Stamina Consumption
  • Original: 40
  • Updated: 30
• Gauntlets Heavy Attack Stamina Consumption
  • Original: 50
  • Updated: 40
• Gauntlets Defense Debuff
  • Original: -20%
  • Updated: -15%
• Scythe has increased mobility, making it easier to hit enemies
• Scythe Heavy Attack Damage Multiplier
  • Original: 2
  • Updated: 2.5
• Sword Base Damage
  • Original: 4
  • Updated: 7
• Sword Global Damage Multiplier
  • Original: 1
  • Updated: 0.75
  • Note: We felt like the sword DPS gets out of hand by the end game, with its strong scaling on both dexterity and strength. This change does not affect the early game experience of using the sword, while slightly reducing the long term DPS of the weapon

Secondary Weapons

• Crossbow Stamina Consumed Per Second
  • Original: 30
  • Updated: 20

Artifacts

• Bismuth Claw has a secret debuff that was meant to be a little easter egg, but was way out of balance. This has been reduced to not punish players for not noticing this debuff.

Bosses

• Immaculate has a bit more end lag after some attacks
• Immaculate Base Attack Damage
  • Original: 80
  • Updated: 70
• Poacher Max Stance
  • Original: 130

  • Updated: 40

  • Original: 700
  • Updated: 720
• Worm (Phase 2) Max Stance
  • Original: 100
  • Updated: 200
• Reduced frequency of getting multiple hits per attack on Worm causing certain weapons to instantly kill this boss
• Increased Worm resistance to Jolt

Hello Triangles! We are excited to share the latest episode of our developer journal! If you missed out on our previous episodes, definitely go back and read them over here: Episode 1 - Introduction Episode 2 - The Forest This time, we’re diving deep into a rugged and mysterious area that is brimming with ominous energy. Welcome to the Mountains, a place filled with towering peaks, treacherous paths, and a host of brand-new enemies just waiting to challenge even the most experienced players. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/b6c966a05179abf0c59e495260c98c47c0db19f9.jpg As you emerge from the dense thickets of the Forest, there begins a turning point in your adventure. The world before you is now much larger, and you have the power to decide your fate. This is where your journey truly begins—the moment the world opens up, giving you the choice of which path to take next. Whether it was by choice or through destiny, if you’ve stumbled upon the Mountains, be prepared as this area will truly test your survival instincts against nature’s harshest elements. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/01076096ea7a260d10822cb1900f365e8d2c53a7.png When designing this mountainous region we wanted to create an area that feels grand and intimidating, where nature itself becomes a formidable foe. This challenging environment needs to be navigated carefully, as you focus your attention on how to avoid and manage certain environmental debuffs on top of every other threat that lurks around the corner. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/5f8c0e80d9aaddc9d233068a3edd73939bfed29f.png

Peaks of Peril

With any new region, there’s a new set of adversaries! You’ll come face to face with new angular enemies, each armed with their own distinct move sets and strapped with powerful weapons that will inevitably keep you on your toes. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/032366f75c1a3fcd9742a9fc7d03f87032fb08b1.png Stamina management will be extremely critical while traversing this region, due to the hostile conditions of the territory you’ll be faced with, in addition to the difficulty of the enemies in this area. However, there is always hope, guided by a humble Flaming Torch which you should have discovered earlier in your travels. This item will become a blessing as you navigate your way through the blistering cold. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/cd49935f360a28a6b6e633928224250da670406f.png

Harnessing Power in a Harsh Land

You might feel like the world itself is against you. Fierce enemies, dangerous terrain, and relentless weather, it can seem like every step forward is a battle for survival. However, for every brutal challenge you face, there’s also a reward waiting for you to claim it. The deeper you venture, the more powerful tools you'll discover to add to your arsenal and relics that resonate with the region, ultimately turning the tide in your favour. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/48a10ee8def79485474ea52913adc8706f6a1491.png

Crafting a World That Feels Alive

Our design team has been hard at work making sure the icy mountains are both beautiful to look at and deadly to traverse. We want this area to be a place where every corner holds a new threat, but also a reward for those who are brave enough to explore it fully. The new weapons and items aren't just powerful—they’re designed to feel like natural extensions of the environment, giving you the tools to fight the cold and conquer the unpredictable terrain. We also wanted to give players a sense of freedom by opening up the world and allowing you to choose your path, creating a more immersive and personalised experience. We believe that every decision should feel meaningful, and each region should offer a unique set of risks with a satisfactory pay off, to make your journey unforgettable. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/c58f2596752a6e9831d6e68b292302de7cb63692.png We’re extremely excited for you to be able to explore this region fully once Void Sols launches next month, November 12th! Our demo is also available to play for free, for those of you who haven’t had a chance to dive into the world yet. - Big thank you for tuning in to another chapter of this month’s Developer Journal!

Hello Triangles! It’s time for another Developer Journal! If you missed our last developer update, definitely go back and read it over here. Kicking things off this time, we’re going to explore some uncharted territory. Everything we reveal today will be brand new content that not even those who have played the demo will know about. So buckle up and get ready to discover The Forest. 🌳 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/76c6d1bdd79eb8310c6b17213759864c27e1f97d.jpg Trees tower above, their thick canopies weaving together, giving cover to the threats that lurk within. You’ve escaped the Prison, yet you’ve somehow ended up venturing deep into a lush, dense forest. The atmosphere seems serene at a glance, yet the further you go, the once peaceful surroundings now feel charged with an ominous energy. Welcome to the darkest parts of The Forest. - Once you successfully journey through the Prison, your next major destination is going to be the Forest. The air is thick here with the scent of pine and damp earth. Listen closely, you’ll be able to hear the soft rustling of the leaves and gentle breeze moving through the branches. As serene as this place may seem compared to where you were before, it is not the sanctuary you hope it will be. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/e859f0771b7e755f0ff79049a487a3311e019ee9.png This area is one that will connect you to even more areas of Void Sols. Hear the sound of rushing water? A river cuts through the dense woods, serving as a lifeline to help navigate your journey through the dimly lit paths. The river is narrow and the bridges are well-worn but there are new things to discover here and even more lessons to learn.

Formidable Foes

Of course with a new area comes more unknown enemies. You’ll find yourself coming face-to-face with various new hostile shapes and forms. We want you to fully immerse yourself in the experience of these new opponents, so for now we’ll share some sneaky screenshots to give you a taster of what you can expect. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/8dea31750f178582537e5601b7ba783d8046f232.png Warning: the flowers here are not your friend. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/0c4e4edabba88ff30b0cd152f376b2478b93e5ca.png Despite these new hurdles, you’ll also have the chance to discover new items along the way. Upon leaving the Prison, you will be able to start experimenting with Usable Items: items with limited uses that always replenish when you rest. Be sure to experiment with these, you never know what might happen if you use these in the right context… Is it even an RPG if there is no fishing? Find the nifty little Fishing Rod and then the world truly is your oyster! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/728201194c0ad9adb1bd7949ad7dcb06d347af90.png

Level Design

Every zone in Void Sols has distinct enemies, layouts, and mechanics. We wanted players to experience a game that would constantly surprise and delight them, and to do so, we took great care to rarely repeat content. Instead of creating a massive world with the same enemies, just with more health, we opted to create a dense and diverse experience full of variety. Each area created goes through many iterations as we design, refine, and playtest to uncover these spaces that are fun to explore and challenging to overcome. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/01ae4cd462912b6e8181a19463f95a62a5781d5b.png After the game releases, see if you can figure out what area this was a WIP sketch of! As we playtest and design spaces, we look at the empty spaces between areas and find secrets to fill them in. Many of the areas you may have previously thought to be empty will have entire zones to discover later in the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/ea808fc51ef0759586f00a125993894b940c55df.png Pay close attention to the maps you collect, they’ll show you shortcuts and secrets alike! We can’t wait to see how you navigate the lush environments we have created and how you tackle each of the unique enemies you are bound to encounter in them. - That was it for this chapter of this month’s Developer Journal! We hope you enjoyed taking a peek into The Forest and a look into our level design process. In our next instalment we will be diving into even more areas that are currently in development. So definitely stay tuned! 👀 Remember to wishlist Void Sols as this really helps us out, and join the official Void Sols Discord server to chat with fellow adventurers, share tips, discuss builds and keep up to date with all news about the game. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2736690/Void_Sols/ Until next time! 👋 -- 🔺 Follow Void Sols on X (Formerly Twitter) 🔺 Join the community on Discord 🔺 Subscribe to Void Sols newsletter

Hello Triangles! Whether you’re a newcomer to the game, or a veteran that has explored the shadow-filled maze since its Prologue days, we warmly welcome you to Void Sols! We’re super excited to share with you our very first Developer Journal. In these developer journals we will be sharing with you major insights into the development progress of Void Sols, giving you a sneak peek of the areas we are working on and a heads up on upcoming content for full launch. This month we will be focusing on bringing you an introduction to Void Sols. Perfect for those of you who may have not yet been able to play the demo or have just stumbled upon this game and want to find out more about it.

What is Void Sols?

Void Sols is a new indie soulslike developed by Finite Reflection Studios that combines the minimalist visuals of Geometry Wars with the tense combat of Dark Souls. You play as a humble triangle facing off against menacing angular enemies and relentless, challenging bosses. You will die, but the lesson from each defeat is vital. Defeat enemies, collect their Sols and use them to refine your abilities and enhance your build in this abstract fantasy. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/7a3c680ab2735e630b241a09549e5c6aa3367c61.png

Hit the Ground Running

As you begin your journey through Void Sols, the game will introduce you to a whirlwind of weaponry to choose from. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/4051eb03b2a2498b4926aaea2594f17a6e893bc1.png You will always start with the Sword. This particular weapon is reliable and consistent and should carry you through the game decently in each scenario you face. The other weapons you will be able to find along your way are the Dagger, Great Hammer, Throwing Daggers, Shield, and Great Bow. Almost all of these items can be found within the first 30 minutes of the game, so make sure you’re exploring every nook and cranny! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/dcdcbb29213507ff0a91f21a550d0237c6bdd404.png The reasoning behind why we made sure that you had the chance to encounter a range of weaponry early into the game, is so that you would immediately feel the breadth of opportunity when it comes to building variety. While other games would have you start with selecting a class and starting items, it was important to us that we gave you everything you would need to experiment and discover the build that would truly resonate with your playstyle. Since you can change your stats whenever you want to, EVERY item is valuable! An item found in the Prison at the start of the game can even be viable through to the end game, if utilised correctly. 10 different types of swords that have the same animation, yet slightly different stats were not appealing to us. Therefore, our focus was to make sure we created a game that would have fewer total weapons, but making sure each one felt extremely distinct and amplified different power fantasies of the player.

Power Fantasies

Now for the fun part - Let's talk about the build archetypes that are available within the first 30 minutes of starting the game: Generalist Build: Sword, Shield, Relic of Power, stats evenly distributed You like stability and reliability. This build does not excel in any given way, but ensures you are ready for whatever the game has to throw at you. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/1cccf234cdf1d2cdfaaa1d210c28b28f524d955f.png Tank Build: Great Hammer, Great Bow, Relic of Colossus, high VIT / STR Dodging is for losers and people with low health and defence. You hit slow, but can take hits as well. The bow gives you versatility while synergizing with the STR scaling of the Great Hammer. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/427294a5d071f411ee533033790a2c358ffc1c6a.png Glass Cannon Build: Great Hammer, Shield, Relic of Power, only STR You are a parry god. Yes, you can only manage one attack before you’re out of stamina, but that attack will hit like a truck hauling dynamite. You will also probably die in one or two hits but that shouldn’t matter because, again, you’re a parry god. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/dc0ecd58c8a4eff71781cff652f4a6fd687e6ee9.png Rogue Build: Dagger, Throwing Dagger, Relic of Agility You like to keep moving. You don’t like the waiting game, and prefer to be up close and personal when you deliver the killing blow. This playstyle is fast paced, and takes advantage of stunning enemies and bosses through continuous damage. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/4265550023702ea5bed37f9c86ad32f5d56692cd.png The further you get into the game, the more diverse and strange the power fantasies become (there may or may not be a “Pyromaniac” archetype that you can build into by the late game!). Give these builds a try once you get your hands on the game and we look forward to seeing what builds you conjure up as well!

The Enemies

The Prison Yard will present you with a range of interesting but aggressive enemies that are sworn to keep you imprisoned. Every enemy in Void Sols is designed to feel distinct from one another with memorable and predictable attack patterns, rewarding cautious observation and combat experimentation. The more you know, the better your odds. Guard {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/a18b3a9ba98bf0a288dbc051bbafa55cf6dc296c.png The Guard is the first enemy you will encounter once you escape from your prison cell. Their long swords can perform wide, mid-range attacks in an arc pattern. They can be stunned before they attack if you are aggressive enough, just make sure you have enough stamina for anyone else waiting their turn to fight! Grunt {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/7d40fb8d44a83e1bc39d549f1bcaa6f745615c6f.png You will encounter these pentagon shaped enemies known as the Grunt in dark crevices within the Prison. They are aggressive, fast, and squishy. Though they die in only a few hits, their dagger attack can come faster than you expect! Jailer {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/1a1a17b2525eb989d1292dc71dac74ea15512115.png This intimidating foe is the Jailer, guarding multiple areas of the Prison. Relentless in their pursuit of you, they are the first enemy in the game to introduce a combo attack. It's always the same attack with the exact same timing, however the damage will leave little room for error. Spotter {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/d6089792300d4d09f51f6a479149047b4e88f68b.png Possessing the ability to perform both short-range and long-range attacks, the Spotter is sure to be a threat. They utilise their charged arrows to fire attacks into the distance, but if you choose to close the gap, they will bring out their dagger to perform fast, close range attacks. Watcher {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44950405/85b962fcbe504749f26c5fbfcab3a30d705a5891.png As the name suggests, the Watcher patrols high security areas, alerting enemies of any intruders if they get within their line of sight. This enemy is also special, as you cannot damage them, meaning that avoiding them is the wisest choice. - We hope you enjoyed the first chapter of this Developer Journal and we look forward to sharing with you more insights into the world of Void Sols!
