Day-by-day progress on Void Tales. Bigger announcements land in the news.

August 2025

Shin Snowly

Stats such as Parries, Lifesteal, or Dodges, when triggered by factors like gems, are now shown with an indicator.

The teleporter passage in the tutorial has been removed. Instead, players now learn how to use gemstones at this stage.

Enemies in the tutorial now also drop gold and items.

Falwhind now features a new “end sequence” after the victorious battle against Kral.

Kral now has new dialogue lines that better match the encounter and his sudden appearance from the Void.

The tutorial has now been fully adjusted to match the new update.

Shin Snowly

Falwhind now has its own custom biome, featuring trees with red leaves and an autumnal orange sky.

The wooden chests in Falwhind now consume less performance and no longer appear as a “holy cow bug.”

Items now have an even clearer and more organized description.

Falwhind now also features a bomb item, in addition to arrows and potions.

Shin Snowly

The number of particles in all attacks and effects from the boss “Thalis & Leafsong” has been reduced by more than half to hopefully prevent a kick when dying to this boss. The fight still looks great. 🙂

The boss “Cyn” now has an attack that mercilessly targets adventurers trying to gain a height advantage on the statue or pillars, accompanied by fitting text lines such as “Get down from there, you coward!” or “Do not hide from me!”.

Shin Snowly

All enemies intended to grant the adventurer +3 gold now do so, instead of accidentally giving 10 gold. (thank you @Impcamper!)

The Blossomwind Flute now has a cooldown of 5 seconds.

The “Elven Crown” (one of the jackpot rewards) now truly has 5 functional gem slots.

The Heirloom Gem “Fractured Heirloom” keeps its positive effects, but the negative effect “-2 HP” has been replaced with “-4% Attack Speed.”

All gems that granted gold, stacks, or items on hit can no longer be used in the Soul Station.

Shin Snowly

Certain entities, like ziplines and others, can no longer be launched into the air using a shield.

Until the proper script is ready: All players who spawn in or remain in a world they’re not supposed to be in will instantly die and be sent to their correct spawn point (Tutorial/Soul Station). ( sorry @Loren (was steven) and friend : D)

The reward radius of the chests in Falwhind has been increased from 9 to 17.

The trap in the Ibya Forest can no longer be altered or tampered with by adventurers.

Various methods to cheese Matilda, Mira, Ava, Reflections of Fear, and Cyn have been fixed. (thank you @ArosKun!)

Every Armadillo Scute item is now automatically removed from the inventory. (thank you @Philip!)

Shin Snowly

A script was added that causes the player to die if they fall too deep. ( sorry @Tia! :3! )

Shin Snowly

The Soul Torches — the blue flames that ignite at the Soul Station when a player approaches — have been reworked. Previously, they were entities (invisible sheep :)) that created the blue flame; now it’s a script that should improve performance! (Thank you @RazorBl8de! )

Replaced gem #19 “Heartly”: Instead of granting +2 HP (and +4 HP on the upgraded version), it now provides health regeneration of 0.5 HP every 10 seconds. This fits better into the system and doesn’t conflict with the HP upgrade from “Shade Of The Fading Day.”

Shin Snowly

Fixed a bug that allowed players to edit signs

Fixed a bug that allowed players to take contents out of flower vases

Ashen Petal bushes are now affected by gravity and can no longer be launched into the sky indefinitely by a shield bash

The Raccoon Trader who gives you the Blossomwind Flute no longer has collision and can no longer be pushed around

To trigger the cutscene with Amelia where you receive the Formless Mass, you no longer need to have “Audience: Ibis” in your inventory — it now requires having spoken to Phia in person at least once

The Formless Mass ability “Silkfall” now only pulls you forward, even if you’re looking upward

Removed an unnecessary mod that displayed detailed tooltips — it was originally used for debugging purposes

Fixed a bug where candles could be extinguished

Fixed a bug that allowed blocks to be broken in Cyn’s boss arena
