Well well well… Veyerals did it! He managed to update The Void Rains Upon Her Heart DAILY throughout the entire of October adding impressive amounts of content. Want to see the list? Well here is what was added during the second devtober challenge.
Version v4.7 -> v4.10
Content Added During Devtober Challenge Year 2-
8 new Power Gifts (From 123 to 131).
30 of the new gift type, Quick Gifts (From 0 to 30).
30 new Upgrade Gifts (From 16 to 46).
31 new dreams (From 270 to 301).
Updates and tweaks -
Improved all the card frame art for every type of card.
Bug Fixes -
A few scoring bugs were discovered where a monster part could break multiple times in a single frame. This could cause scores that are much higher than intended. Quickplay scores that are higher than a radiant medal on these battles have been reset down to the radiant score limit. This means that you will keep your radiant medals, but if you want the extra points above radiant, then those will have to be earned again. (Affected battles are Syncron, Roundsaw, Null Roundsaw, Glacia, Null Glacia, and Unit Lulu).
As you can see, the challenge has added so much content including a combined total of 99 dreams and gifts. Several new upgrade gifts were also introduced that will permanently expand the storage capacity and active limits of Quick Gifts for each character. We hope you really like this new feature and as always we continue to take on feedback and listen to your suggestions.
Veyerals have also altered some of the Store page art and updated the back end with new images. These new images are way more visually pleasing to the eye. We also plan on updating the store images and trailer real soon.
There has also been a short update to The Void Rains Upon Her Heart outside of the Devtober Challenge as an apology for me being delayed with this post. (The Flu banished me to the Void) - Here it is in full below. We really look forward to hearing from you all in the comments below and in the forums.

Cardiac Event Recorder - Update #33
Heya Voids and Voidettes!
Kitty Skies reporting once again from this great cosmos! Your favorite Kitty is here to tell you that a new update has indeed gone live!
The first major part of this update is a change to the HUD and new score indicators. We’ve made a real effort to improve visuals and categories in the dreams, monsters and gifts menu. We hope you enjoy these improvements as much as we do!
The second major part of this update is built around the community feedback. Having a panic attack after a situation has passed is no good and thanks to community member Hybban, we have now prevented this from happening after bosses are loved, meaning you get to save those precious panic attacks for your next love encounter with our wonderful monsters.
A handful of other changes in this update were also made because of feedback from Thultex and Seyon. We take all feedback seriously and want The Void Rains Upon Her Heart to be the best it can be. Please keep it coming in! Thank you so much for the submissions. All you have to do is post in the comment section below or in the forums and we will take everything into consideration.
Flashback to October 2018, Veyerals did a challenge which saw him add a new piece of content to the game every day throughout the month. We are glad to announce that October 2019 the same will be happening. You can expect updates daily throughout October if he succeeds in his challenge, else he will be tossed into the Void forever!
As always, the full patch notes will be posted below and we hope to see you lighting up voids very shortly.

The next update will be due on 30th November 2019.*

New HUD design.
New score indicators that appear along with each burst of motes.
New groups in the dreams menu that highlight dreams with specific types of unlock rewards.
New groups in the monsters and gifts menus that hold cards that are ready to radiate.

Fixed a bug where there was a small delay on becoming immune when using a panic attack.
Fixed a bug where breaking Vitrea's petals would spawn the debris somewhere offscreen.
Coming soon -

Coldest Wishes, The Void

Veyerals said I can give a preview of one, Snowball, to show you beforehand. I’ll hide it in spoiler tags in case you want to keep it a secret. For the others who wants to snoop, Snowball is here. Be careful not to end up snowballed with bullets.
A Steam user requested support for higher resolutions in windowed mode, so we’re also glad to say we’ve now added windowed support for 3840x2160! Thanks so much for the feedback! As always we are constantly reading posts and accepting all forms of submissions, feel free to post below or in the forums, we read and monitor everything

Cardiac Event Recorder - Update #31 - Thirty eight monsters to love in total!
Heya Voids and Voidettes!
Another month, another update!
In this update we’ve added a new powerful final boss to love! This means now, there are 38 monsters in the game to love. I still remember playing the Alpha when there were only around about 8 monsters, I’m so proud of how far Veyerals (the dev) and The Void Rains Upon Her Heart has come. There’s also the fact that dreams can come true, that’s why we’ve also added nine new dreams too raising the total to an impressive 257 dreams to fulfill.
A lot of moving from version 4.4 to 4.5 was updating and tweaking systems. If you like or disagree with any additions or changes please do post below or in the forums and we’ll respond to you in a timely manner. The full log as always is below containing every change.
Thank you and I look forward to posting another wonderful update next month.
As a reminder:
The next update will be due on 30th August 2019.

One new song to go with this new battle.
9 new Dreams to fulfill (Total: 257).
Updates and tweaks -
Improved the collisions system between your bullets and monsters so that multiple collisions are resolved per frame. (before, only one bullet collision was resolved per frame).
From now on, if you have unlocked nearly every available gift, but are missing found a few of them, those last few gifts will be much more likely to drop.
Battle scenes will no longer contribute toward monster records. (Eg. Lulu's tutorials will not count as an encounter with Unit Lulu).
Broken monster parts now fade away to make it more obvious that they are not a threat.
The music now loops in better places during certain battles with special music.
Syncron units change position a bit slower on lower levels.
Voltage Veyeral's volt balls absorb more damage, but cause damage to the main body when they break.
Some of Blot's paint turrets will now fire more randomly at level 10 only.
Amalga now holds the combo when moving.
Reduced the number of Lila's phantom attack waves at the highest levels from 5 to 4.
Slightly reduced the number of projectiles that Lila's purple phantoms burst out.
Reduced the speed of Lila's red phantoms when they attack in a zipper formation.
Bug Fixes -
Fixed a bug that would cause the hitbox of bouncy spike bullets to be slightly larger than intended at certain angles.

Cardiac Event Recorder - Update #30 - This artist was great, they could always draw a crowd
Heya Voids and Voidettes!
My deepest apologies for the delay in the update notes. I’ve been ill and under the (heatwave) weather. The good news however is that the update has been live for a few days now.
So let’s start this update blog: This week marked the beginning of the summer sale and we’ve entered with a huge whopping 40% discount on The Void Rains Upon Her Heart. If you have friends who are interested or if you’re on the fence about purchasing the game yourself, now is a great time to pick it up.
Today is also special as it marks the 30th update since launch, we are so proud of the progress we have made up until this point and look forward to continuing supporting the game for a long time to come.
In this update, we see a total of 90 gifts and icons revamped with art improvements. This was a lot of work for Veyerals but we believe the enhancements are way better now in the artwork. Thanks to your wonderful feedback we’ve also made a majority of changes to the gifts and monsters as well as adding more info and voices!
There’s quite a lot of new gifts and dreams added but the most important is that we’ve optimised the saving system. Please please do let us know if you experience problems with your save files or anything of the kind. That is the most precious and important to us.
As always though, we hope you’re enjoying this hot summer and we would like to thank you as always and look forward to hearing your feedback.

Cardiac Event Recorder - Update #29 - Too hot? Too spicy? HOT! HOT!
Heya Voids and Voidettes!
It’s that time of the we- month again where we the Void update arrives! In this update we see a total of 4 new monsters enter the fray! Yes -- Four!! :) From the hot and saucy Rage Boiler to Shamra there are some really cool additions.
Here's one for the people who learned Algebra: what’s 4x - 4? While I won’t give the answer, I’ll instead post this gif:
A big majority of this update was yet again also making lots of changes and of course fixing the “locked” bug. Fortunately only Veyerals found it and it was a little tricky to activate… but we are sorry, you now have to unlock the characters to play them in quick mode! ;-)
With 51 reviews, we’ve now reached the “Very Positive” review status and we cannot thank you enough for that. We really are enjoying that people are enjoying the game. (Enjoyception) - Veyerals has poured his heart and soul into this title and it’s really nice to see the rewards showing. All we can say is a massive thank you yet again, we hope more people get their paws on this title. :)
We would like to thank you as always and look forward to hearing your feedback.
Full update log below.
As a reminder:
The next update will be due on 27th June 2019.

Rebalance to all character's starting damage and monster health.

Changes to the charge attack dmg formula that cause DPS increases to diminish the higher it gets.
Monster Level cap for Endless Nightmare has been raised to 999.
Karma cost for Solara's gifts rises faster after every 10 gifts purchased starting at 20.
Score multipliers for monsters that are Level 16+ has been reduced significantly.
(Due to this scoring change, highest scores for endless rain have been reset if any level 16+ monster was defeated.)
The dream requirements to unlock monsters are now shown in the details section of locked monster cards.
The detail section of unloved special monsters will now show a hint on how to encounter that monster.
The dream requirements to unlock gifts are now shown in the details section of locked gift cards.

Added a way to access the options menu from the main hub.

You can now wrap the selector to the other end in all list menus. (EX: press up to instanly get to the bottom.)

Bug Fixes -
fixed a bug where you could play as a character that was still locked in Quickplay mode.
Now that we’ve changed to monthly updates, you can expect an abundance of changes in the notes.
A big part of this update was adjusting the current features in the game instead of working on adding new content. We’ve been focusing on overleveled monsters, endless mode and Solara’s Gift Shop to make the experience fairer and more balanced.
We did manage to add a new type of gift called an “Upgrade Gift” which allows upgrades to certain events and Solara’s Gift Shop. We hope you really enjoy this new addition and that it adds even more depth to the upgrade system.
It’s also worth mentioning that some player's high scores for endless modes were reset due to the infinitely exploitable combination of Adamant Will + Shame + Frustration. We apologise deeply for that, but please don’t give us your frustration gift!
We would like to thank you as always and look forward to hearing your feedback.
Full update log below.
As a reminder:
The next update will be due on 23rd May 2019.

Early Access updated game version v4.1 -> v4.2
Content Added -
1 new Dream to fulfill! (Total: 235)
A new type of gift called an Upgrade gift which will allow for some upgrades to certain events.
Solara's Gift Shop can now be upgraded permanently using Tetrids and the new Upgrade gifts.
Updates and tweaks -
Your current health and panics are shown while you are in Solara's Gift Shop.
The attack speed stat for overleveled monsters is now capped at 12 (+240%).
Tweaks to some attacks from overleveled monsters that were impossible to dodge (Lila, The Void, Nix Polyps).
Changed the description for Endless Terror to show monsters do not gain health per level.
You can save up to 7 loadouts for quickplay mode (slots must be unlocked).
Scaled down the score required to rank up in quickplay at early ranks (You will likely be a higher rank now).

Reduced damage from getting hit by a Syncron body.

Side effects for Love, Elation, and Desire have been changed to include critical rate.
Shame and Frustration now have caps that are high enough to only affect endless mode.
Adamant Will has been changed to heal 30hp per battle instead of a full heal. This is high enough that it should only affect endless mode.
Changed the battle challenge that required you to not use panic or focus. It now only requires that you don't use a panic!
The positive reception to Endless Nightmare has been and still is outstanding and we’re super grateful for that. Moving onwards, Update 27 mostly revolves around expanding upon Endless Nightmare. There are 38 new dreams to fulfill and we’ve upgraded the look upon Solara’s Gift Shop. We’ve also made some slight changes including capping the charging beam attacks for all overleveled monsters.
I have some important news regarding updates, they will be changed to monthly rotations. We will still be adding small tweaks and additions to the build, but the major ones with full patch updates will come around towards the end of the month now. This is partly as we are coming closer to full launch, to be more consistent and the fact that we're also currently preparing for the console versions too.
We would like to thank you as always and look forward to hearing your feedback.

An upgrade system for Solara's Gift Shop in Endless Nightmare.
It’s that time of the week and apologies for the radio silence, it’s been very hectic over here in the last few weeks… but we’re back and this time with version 4.0 of The Void Rains Upon Her Heart!
Prepare to meet Endless Nightmare, a new game mode which has you fighting as many monsters as you can until you heartbreak. Monsters will not give you gifts, but you can spend your karma to buy some after every battle. But be careful how you spend, because the price will go up after each purchase!
As it’s a new mode, it needs testing, so while it’s on the newest version, you can see it as a “beta” as we may need to make more changes and reset high scores in the future for example.
As always, feedback is most essential and we’ll be reading the forums and this post for comments and constructive criticism!
Thank you as always for your continued patience and we really hope you enjoy this new version.
