Devlog #19 - Lore, Voices of the Void & The King!
Greetings, Void Hunters!The Void echoes as we unveil major additions to the game in Devlog #19! Coming with the full release, we're adding a new experience to the game that introduces the world and the plot of the game, along with new life into every void hunter with all-new voice acting, and unleashing our most terrifying foe yet: The Void King. Sharpen your blades and ready your ears—let's dive in!Through the darkness, we rise!First steps matter.We've transformed the early game with a brand new introduction chapter, that starts within the Void Hunters' Stronghold — a living, breathing introduction to our world. You will find out what the Void Hunters seek to accomplish and how all the parts of the game finally fit together into one campaign. You will learn more about the Void Hunters, their Stronghold and what they seek to achieve, in order to protect the Dawnstone, the light that must never fade. As the game unfolds and you unlock new characters, you will learn more about the world, their mission and the personality of each Void Hunter, with over 2500 new voice lines spread across the game. With the release update, part 2 of the Titan Hunt is now in place, and you will finally learn what Titan Blood can be used for. Be ready to face off against 7 new bosses, and prepare yourself, for the Void King awaits!Voices of the Void: Hunters Find Their VoiceHear them roar, whisper, and taunt!
As you might have heard from the Void Hunter’s Stronghold, every character now has their own unique voice lines, from battle cries to past laments. We collaborated with 12 incredible voice actors to capture each void hunter’s essence.This is something we always wanted to add to the game, and while it took months of planning and writing and reviewing… hearing the characters in-game for the first time felt like magic to us, and we can only hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!Brand new soundtracksWith everything that is coming to the game with the full release, we obviously needed new epic music to accompany it. Gama, our sound designer has been hard at work tinkering with a brand new OST for it. Have a listen at the vibe he’s going for: Closing Thoughts: The Calm Before the StormThese additions finally lay the last pieces of the foundation for 1.0's imminent launch. It has truly been an incredible journey so far. The game has changed so much since its first playable version that it feels a bit crazy, and we are preparing a little bit of a nostalgia trip to show you just how much the game has changed over time! So stay tunned to our socials for that!
Also important to note that version 1.0 is not the end for Soulstone Survivors. We truly want to continue working on the game for as long as we possibly can and this is made possible by YOUR continued love and support, so a most heartfelt THANK YOU!
Farewell, for now... Good luck out there, void hunters.
