- Update 0.16 - Voids Adrift Development Update: Ship Weapons Progress - 21 August 2024
Greetings, Nomads! We're thrilled to share some exciting progress on ship weapons in Voids Adrift. Ship cannons and turrets will be essential for combat, and we're designing them in various tiers to match different gameplay styles. Early Blender Renders Concept Deckside Cannons: Below, you’ll find some of our early concept renders for deckside cannons. These are just a few of the designs we’ve been working on. Currently, we have over 21 different cannons and ship turrets, including several styles of harpoon weapons. https://i.imgur.com/li1Ywi5.png https://i.imgur.com/vwvvjJB.png https://i.imgur.com/D5uF71k.png Textured Cannons: Here are some examples of our textured cannons.

- An Important Message to Our Valued Community - 13 September 2023
Hello Nomads, We hope this message finds you well. As many of you have probably heard, Unity Technologies announced a significant change to their licensing model, introducing a "Unity Runtime Fee." This fee is based on the number of users installing games built on their engine, among other factors. What Does This Mean For Our Games? Voids Adrift, Voids Adrift: Island Designer, Lone Masts and other titles we have developed are currently powered by Unity. While these changes are noteworthy and will impact the financials of our studio to a certain extent, we want to make it clear: We have no plans to cease development on any of our games. Future Uncertainty The future is somewhat uncertain, as it often is in the fast-moving world of game development. While we've enjoyed a fruitful relationship with Unity, these changes are prompting us to consider other options, including potentially porti…
- Game Technical Glitch - Fixed! - 10 September 2022
Hello, A Small number of users have reported being unable to run the game due to a missing exe, This Was a Small Technical Glitch with Steams Servers, Please update your game, everything should be working again! Thanks - Team ZaviiNet
- Voids Adrift Download Information - 20 August 2022
Good day Nomads, As you might have seen floating around on the forums / Discord we are currently moving over our content distribution from our own Patching and Delivery system to Steam for all future updates. Currently we have 3 Branches of the Game Public Development QA Development and QA are locked via a code which we will be given out to supporters of the Game. This move is to speed up how content is delivered to you & due to our patching system using unsupported code we feel as if time would be better spent updating the content of the game over the legacy patching system, This means after 16 you will no longer need to patch the game using our ingame Patcher and only need to update via Steam. We are currently working on testing functionality of this move on our Development branch but rest assured that once testing has complete 16+ will be out for all players. Thanks for your continue…

- Public Test Access / FAQ - 2 February 2022
Hi Nomads, We've had a few people on steam unable to work out how to play our game because it's not officially released on steam, We've made it very clear in the past how to play but it seem we've not been clear enough. To play Voids Adrift you must obtain a steam key. You can obtain keys from key drops on our forums or discord or from supporting our project directly Will there be different server regions? Yes! Using data we collect from the Alpha and Beta, we will find out where we can put the servers to help the most people Will you attempt to combat ship metas? Yes. We have a vehement hatred of the box meta, as it restricted players creativity and forced them to build one way. While we will add things to specifically combat the box meta, we don't want there to be any meta, box or not. We will make small tweaks to shuffle up the meta as it appears, but we will try to make more permane…
- 0.15 Workshop update - 2 February 2022
Hi Nomads, Unfortunate News if your ship was created in 0.14 then it will no longer be compatible with 0.15 due to how panels are calculated If you wish to try and convert your ships do so at your own risk How to convert an Old Ship 1) Open the console the ` Key (The key next to the number 1) 2) Type run-planar-processor accept 3) Press Enter 4) Wait for successful or unsuccessful error Save Ship / Fix panels and upload to workshop. Old Ships will now be marked as incompatible due to multiple bug reports of missing panels on workshop ships which isn't a bug. Thanks for the ongoing support! Team ZaviiNet
- Update 0.15 Has Dropped - 1 February 2022
Hi Nomads, Sorry for the Delay, We've been having Build Issues with the Server and had to rebuild the machine to allow us to publish this build, We also had to do some pretty hefty optimisations to ensure the current version of the game ran faster than the old version. We've been testing for the past month and we feel 0.15 is ready for public testing. All bugs found this week will be fixed this week for this build as the public stress test will be larger than the small supporter / QA branch testers. Any bugs report them here, on discord or email [email protected] We Aim to have a Steam Build out later today when Steam Distributes it across the globe Thanks for you Continued Support, See you in the skies soon Nomad! Team ZaviiNet Extra Patch Notes for Jan 0.15.40 - Fixed Crashing - Prevent Spamming Bug Uploads 0.15.41 - Updated Editor - Updated Packages - Added Intro - Updated Te…

- Co-Op Multiplayer Update! - 8 March 2021
Last night we attempted our first shot at multiplayer We managed a stable 3 player Game with 3 players all joining from across the globe, While it was not perfect we managed to look at each other, play a quick game of hide and seek and watch each other fail as we attempted to get around to other islands. We're calling this a success but we're far from perfect just yet we're hard at work patching it up to make it functional for our first Co-Op Update coming out in a few weeks time. We Hope this news brings you some joy. This Test was done using a Dedicated Server
- Added Tab and Enter Functions on the Login Page! - 27 February 2021
After being asked many many times for us to add the function to tab and enter on the login page, We've coded it and added it too the game, It's a very small update but one that will speed up logging in so we felt it was worth pushing out, Updates to the game will now slow down so we push much larger updates but less of them. Hope this update helps!
