I have been working incredibly hard to deliver updates and exciting new content over the past few months, and whilst working on VOIN is a true joy, I will be taking a brief period of what I’d like to think is some well-earned rest for a few weeks now, just to recover and come back better than ever.

• Devlog #1: Items 2.0 - 25 September 2025

  Vindicators, I'm working on a major overhaul of VOIN's itemization system, and I wanted to pull back the curtain a bit. This post is for the curious: the players who want to know why I'm making these changes, not just what they are. After watching how you all play and listening to your feedback, I realized the game's current itemization system has a number of fundamental issues which couldn't really be fixed by adding things on top of it. So, I'm rebuilding it from the ground up. The IssuesThe Inventory Management SystemDoes anyone like managing inventories? At first, the ritual of visiting Satiation Stations feels satisfying. But that novelty wears off, and it quickly becomes a tedious chore of scrolling, discarding loot, and waiting through animations.The bigger issue hits dedicated players: with over 1,300 possible weapon combinations alone, the limited inventory space actively punis…

• Voin, the Doom meets Dark Souls RPG, expands with a chilling major update - 29 June 2025

  The first time I ever played Voin , I was instantly hooked. The first-person dark fantasy RPG deftly blends Dark Souls and Doom into something completely new, and is well worth playing if you haven't yet. On the one hand, Voin's got the methodical swordplay and exploration of Fromsoftware's best. On the other, it has id's fast-paced, brutal, and blood-pumping action that refuses to ever slow down. I adore Voin because it manages to jump between these states of being on the fly, turning it into a game unlike any other. Now, its next major update is here alongside a sale, making it the ideal time to dive in. Read the rest of the story...

• Voin, the RPG that blends Doom and Dark Souls, just got a massive new update - 14 March 2025

  Slaying grotesque enemies, achingly beautiful and powerful melee weapons, and dark fantasy worlds - just some of the core ingredients for any good FromSoftware RPG. But what if Dark Souls went first-person, picked up the pace a bit, and incorporated flashes of Doom's hellish, metal aesthetic? Well, you'd get something that looks a lot like Voin . Made by a single developer, this already ambitious RPG just got even bigger and better with its first major content update that adds a new dungeon and fresh foes to the game.

• Thunderborn Update is Available Now - 14 March 2025

  Lightnings, The Thunderborn Update (Version 0.2.0) is here. The skies flash with fury, and the world trembles.

• Dark fantasy RPG Voin is like Doom with swords, and its first big update is here - 6 February 2025

  I've already called Voin a 'boomer slasher,' and with the benefit of hindsight, I think it fits the game quite well. On the one hand, it's got the pace, frantic combat, and action of a shooter like Doom, but on the other, it has the methodical swordplay of the soulslike genre. You've also got to explore, find upgrades, and hone your skills while hacking your enemies to pieces, and all of this comes together into a Steam Early Access experience with loads of promise. Solo developer Nikita Sozidar has just released Voin's first major update, too, and it makes everything better. Read the rest of the story...

• Update #1 (Version 0.1.5) is now live - 4 February 2025

  Lightnings, Update #1 (Version 0.1.5) is now live. I have spent most of the time refactoring several systems under the hood to make it easier to add future content, so this update will be light on content, but I am almost done with engine-related work, so further progress will be faster and much more noticeable. Behold the patch notes of the Update #1 (Version 0.1.5) below. Note: ⚡ indicates changes inspired by the community! Additions 🆕 The difficulty level affecting the chance of encountering Brutal and Terrifying enemies (Enormity) has been implemented and can now be adjusted.
