Hey Voiders!

If you like the sound of NeuroVoider, you might want to know that our friend Dan Terminus (the man behind the game's music) has just released his new album!

And it's awesome!

You can give it a free listen on his label's youtube channel:

CDs and double LPs are available on Blood Music's store: http://www.blood-music.com/store/

Enjoy!

Hunt a bug, win a signed PS4 box! [CONTEST OVER]
Hey Voiders!

In our quest to make v57 the most stable version ever of NeuroVoider, we are organizing a bug hunt contest.

This future v57 already fixes all known issues (that are not compatibility issues) except one... one that we are unable to reproduce and therefore fix.

UPDATE: We found the bug thanks to a player report! Thank you very much for participating!

Win a signed PS4 copy



Here comes the contest! We need your help, and we're putting a signed PS4 copy of NeuroVoider on the table. The first person to post instructions to fully reproduce the bug will win it.

EDIT: if you're not into PS4, the winner will have the choice to replace it with 3 codes for game for any platform.



So try to be as specific as possible (how many players? which one have a gamepad? what are their player indexes?). Try to write down your game seed before testing the bug, and be sure that you are able to reproduce the bug based on your own instructions.

Posting a video would help greatly, but is not required.

Bug description



The game may crash in the "build selection" screen (that's the screen where you choose your class and skill).

And that's basically it... we don't have any other information.

It may (or may not) be related to multiplayer games.

Rules




  • You must own the game on any platform;
  • Only this very specific bug counts toward winning this contest;
  • We must be able to reproduce the bug based on your instructions;
  • The first person who will post in this thread instructions that allow us to fix the issue wins (do not post in this news comments).


Happy hunting!

Update 56.5 is now available


Hello Voiders!

We just released a small non-update. There's nothing new!

Wait, what, an update with nothing new inside?!

Not really... this update packs new invisible features that are going to help us track down a couple super rare issues that we wish to fix.

For instance, if you are encountering rare crashes during level loadings and on the skill selection screen, these new invisible stuff will help us to know more precisely what's going on here.
What can you do to help us tracking those down? Play! :) It's as simple as that. The more you play, the more we have information to fix them.

These are basically the very last (and rare) crashes that we are aware of (beside compatibility issues, but the game should show you a message if that is the case).

This update also has a dormant new feature: a Japanese translation. It is being beta tested right now, and once we're good with it, we'll release a new update with this translation enabled!

Cheers!

Update 56.4 is now available


Uh oh Voiders!

v56.4 is a very small emergency patch to fix Hi-DPI handling on Windows 10 Creators Update (Windows build 1703 and more recent).

The game will no longer start twice as big as it is supposed to on 4K displays.

You can say thanks to Microsoft for breaking DPI awareness of countless applications with a Windows update.

Cheers!

Update 56.3 is now available


Hey voiders!

v56.3 has been released, it mainly fixes a leaderboard issue when browsing through multiple days.

We will have more announcements soon. ;)

Changes



  • Safety Battery skill HP restore has been increased to 35% base HP (was 20%)


Fixes



  • Fixes HP getting negative when loading a save with the Safety Battery skill (Nintendo Switch only)
  • Fixes TOP leaderboard displaying the Friends leaderboard (Nintendo Switch only)
  • Fixes leaderboard caching issue that was replacing the previously seen day leaderboard by the latest one to be loaded (Steam & Nintendo Switch)

Update 56.2 and Nintendo Switch release date


Hey voiders!

We just released v56.2, it's a compatibility and optimization update.

You can expect better stability and performance. Here's the changelog:

Changes



  • The game now launches on the primary monitor instead of where the mouse cursor is (except on Linux)
  • Daily run scores are now cached for faster browsing
  • General engine optimizations
  • Better compatibility and performance on MacOS and Linux


Fixes



  • Fixes a possible crash occuring when disconnecting gamepads during multiplayer games
  • Fixes Xbox One S controller over bluetooth support on Linux
  • Fixes our crash reporter not working on MacOS and Linux


Releasing September 7th on Nintendo Switch



Lately, we were super busy working on the Nintendo Switch version of the game, and all this work is now done!

NeuroVoider is releasing on Nintendo Switch on September 7th!

News from the front
Hey Voiders!

Now is the time to give you some news about where we're heading.

We're super busy on a new console port of the game, and while porting the game we're taking inputs from the Steam feedback forum (only accessible to game owners). The work on the console port will most certainly lead to a v57 with some tweaks in it. So if you have any feedback, please go to the feedback forum and drop it there. It'll help us for both this new console and the Steam v57 of the game. :happyNV:

This port takes most of my time right now, so I may look less present on the forum, but be sure that we are both reading every posts and comments, as well as reviews!

We're also working on a boxed collector edition of the game that should be announced soon.

And, because things have to move forward, we've been working on a new game that should land on Steam soon. It's a very different and smaller game than NeuroVoider, but I'm sure you'll be surprized. :)

So stay tuned!
