- V.E.D.A Dev Update – Key Input Improvements & UI Redesign - 20 March 2026
Hello Agents!We want to share the updated features that were implemented after the Steam Playtest.1st Update: Key InputsAs many of the Playtesters have pointed out, the key mapping features have been updated.In addition, although experimental, we have added a feature for keyboard-only players (yes, no mouse gameplay).As this feature is still in its early stages, we are finding ways to improve it.Moreover, there were some changes to the Rush and Jump features in V.E.D.A.Although the evading/dodging and parkour key is the same, we have separated the jump feature from the evade/dodge key.Until the Playtest build, the rush feature was designed to be a ‘breakthrough’ feature, allowing players the freedom to find the exit without any combat with enemies.For this reason, the rush feature usually did not consume any stamina.Now, the rush feature is more of a sudden movement feature, allowing th…
- V.E.D.A – The Final Chapter of a Major Transformation - 6 March 2026
Hello Agents!Today we’re presenting the final chapter of the “Changes of V.E.D.A.”Although there were constant small changes, the core pillars of the current version had been completed.Overall Body Ratio ChangesTo emphasize the action gameplay feel, we decided to change the body ratio of the protagonist.Still, we’ve tried to preserve the original design of the character as there were users and fans liking the previous look.\\While retaining the design philosophy, we worked hard to up the quality especially by including textures to the character.Monsters Also Went Through Changes\\Matching with this new Alces design, new types of monsters were added.“Outlaw” Monster Example“Mutant" Monster ExampleOther System ChangesDiscarded Agent’s “part changing” systemSimplified each “parts” to Gear, armament, and shields and improved the quality of each itemDesigned each item to have add-ons in mind…
- V.E.D.A - Experimental Features - 13 February 2026
Hello Agents!Continuing with the previous Dev Log, V.E.D.A had many experimental features when compared with today.Although we were confident with the overall art design, we believe V.E.D.A still needs an aspect that can differentiate with other games.During this development period, we did not have enough workforce to produce plentiful resources, thus, implemented a “combination” feature to promote various farming features.Basic Equippment SystemAt first, we’ve created a traditional inventory system into V.E.D.A.To greatly enforce its effectiveness with less resoureces, the “parts” system was created as well.\\\Of course… Coming back to the present, this was discarded…..This may look functional, its was actually inefficient and difficult to put intricate designs.We try to make optimal choices but there are still regrets with our choices….Level SystemFor this system, we’ve developed a pr…
- V.E.D.A - Early Days of Development - 6 February 2026
Hello Agents!We welcome you to our 2nd dev. history post.As explained in the previous post, the origins of V.E.D.A was spawned from our 2nd project, Infected Souls.Although the core system of Infected Souls was retained, the art style have been reworked to be a post-apocalypse & sci-fi style as the world design of V.E.D.A was created.To fit with the new art style, the playable character design had to go through changes as well.The overall design philosophy was to feel similar with Infected Souls and provide refreshing combat action.For example, originally, V.E.D.A retained the small comic-style body size raito but added “parts” to the gear of the main character.And later on, completed the design of the beloved boss, Alces. We too were wondering “why does Alces need to wear a animal skull mask?” Unfortunately our lead concept design artist haven’t given any answers yet…🫠 The key art of…

Hello Agents!Some of you might have wondered ‘where did V.E.D.A came from?’Well, the origins of V.E.D.A came from the project called “Infected Souls.” before Infected Souls, there was an unannounced project, which we hope the first project will come to light soon 🙌 Infected Souls, codename “Project B,” was aimed to be a Soulslike game, but with a different designed from V.E.D.A.The first approach of Infected Souls was to create a more accessible Soulslike, and the first step was to implement short but cute character design.In result, the first concept character art was based on medieval style, short and confident designs were created.- Early character concept ideas- Expanded character concept. Some design aspects are implemented in V.E.D.AThe overall play style of Infected Souls was different from V.E.D.A in the beginning.Infected Souls was mainly focused on monster combat, rather than…

- Apology and Update on the V.E.D.A Playtest - 1 October 2025
Agents,During preparations for the upcoming Playtest, we mistakenly uploaded a test build that was briefly open to the public. We immediately reverted the build back to private, but if anyone was able to access it, please note that it was not a final version. It was an internal build still undergoing quality upgrades and does not represent the true Playtest experience we are preparing.The proper Playtest is planned for November, and will be available soon. Our goal is to make V.E.D.A: The Awakening of Souls a unique “Soulslike Training Game,” where even those new to the genre can grow, adapt, and experience the thrill of mastery together with us.We sincerely apologize for the confusion and ask for your continued interest and support. Your feedback during the Playtest will be invaluable in shaping the game into its best form.Thank you for your patience.From, Tripearl Games
